I was kind of nice though, I knew it wouldn't last & I could get out anytime. I finally had to throw her out because she took my car to relapse & smashed the front....AGAIN.

Her dad was a retired pastor at a big church. She told me her parents tried to have her demons cast out of her when she was 10 & it put her off the deep end. I was standing with her father outside the physic ward one evening. He started in on me about how her problems were my fault because of our sin. I turned to him & said "It seems to me her problems started when she was in your care as a child." We didn't talk much after that.

After she was gone, I had no more desire for crazy women or crazy sex. It was a fun lesson. I haven't seen or talked to her in over 10 years, but she still looks good to me.

Sorry, that looks like a Dude with Implants

Spot on. Was friends with a couple of them and they were nice, educated and good people. One ended up being a good friend, going to college during the day, dancing at night. She retired at age 32 with every bill paid, owned her house and two others and a private airplane (and thats how we met) with a good bank account on the side.

That said, there are a lot of them who are "making the harley payment" for their biker boyfriend then there are the others who have an addiction to the "marching powder from Peru" and go from one client to another, spending time with whoever can "powder their nose" the best.

Still for me its a sad part of life and not for me...

I think some of you guys are over thinking the whole thing.

The thing I like about dropping in occasionally on a peel palace is the combination of non-committment, pretty (did I mention naked) gals and watching the reaction of the patrons in the place.

I have probably only visited these establishments a couple dozen times over the last 40 years, and not all of them are the same. I find the big city ones less entertaining, by a wide margin. Quality looking females, but it is ALL about the money.

The other thing is with the exception of perhaps once, my visits have been with a few of my buddies while on hunting, or sled trips up in Quebec. Therein lies a bigger part of the entertainment. Buying one of your more shy buddies a surprise lap dance can be hilarious! Plus, the French Canadian Gals know their stuff!

The girls are all just trying to make a living. For the most part they know the drill and return value for the few dollars they are compensated. Anyone going to the ballet who falls in love with the strippers and wants to "help them to a better life" has deep profound issues of their own. Same with making value judgements about the ladies, their chosen profession or any other personal choices they make.

These are adult women......... not hurting anyone, providing entertainment and making choices in their lives. If those choices don't match with your view of what is right, well........... NOGAF, don't go there.

BTW, the glitter is VERY hard to get off.

Nah, not my thing.

I have plenty good luck on my own without throwing money at it.

Last one I was in was in Toronto for my bachelor party 4 yrs. ago and it was very lame. I've been to plenty in NJ, PA, DC and MD. Some of them made me want to pay them to put their clothes back on. It can be hoot if you go with your GF, but I've never been the least bit excited by anyone I've seen dance in a titty bar. And why do they call them "exotic dancers?" What a misnomer.

My ex-wife liked to go to K-street when we'd visit DC. As soon as they see you're with a woman, they move you to the VIP area. As usual, you are slid in with others at a table. She was all over me and saying stuff like: "Oh Senator, what would your wife think if she knew you were here with me..."

Last time I was in one was night before my wedding in las Vegas, 7 years ago. Pretty lame...
