It's not a strip club; it's...

It's not a strip club; it's a brothel!

I paid to go in and walked downstairs. I was immediately surprised as it was mostly 30-ish women standing around. I noticed one tiny stage that was empty and went to the bar to get a bottled water. I walked around to see if I was missing something--nope, about 4 guys and 20 women from probably 28-40. I sat in front of the empty stage while figuring out what to do. Within 2-3 minutes a woman with a strong Russian accent walked over and introduced herself. I asked if she was a dancer there (she wasn't quite dressed like it but I wasn't sure by this point). She said, no but she'd do a private dance for me. When I declined that she offered sex instead. I declined. She left and within 2-3 more minutes a pair of women walked up and sat at my table before I could stop them. They were nice and friendly and from Russia and Latvia. I bought them drinks (for lack of anything better to do) and we talked for 15 minutes while the one who spoke the best English asked if I wanted to go with them for either a massage or sex. By this time a dancer came on stage--apparently one dances for 2 songs every 15-20 minutes. When she finished she came by and asked for a tip. My two friends asked again if I wanted to go with them for sex and I said I couldn't as I had an early morning. They replied that it "didn't need to be all night, we could just go for a couple of hours." I declined again and got out. There was nothing particularly unattractive about the women and the few I talked to were nice but this wasn't at all what I was expecting.
