Sexy women are nice to you.

Hey guys wanna go spend all our money and get boners together?

me and the boys

It's a place where awful and socially maladjusted people go because they can't get women that attractive to be pleasant to them in any other situation.

Maid cafes in Japan fulfill the same purpose but without alcohol. Some offer after-hours "specials" that include erotic performance. An evolution of historic Geisha service.

Hooters fulfills the same purpose again.

It's the same motivation in every version, there's just a different presentation in style and act. They want feminine attention and they are willing to part with money to get it, typically they have fucked up views of women because of the lack of feminine attention or because of the fact they're awful human beings. Power, patriarchy, misogyny, all wrapped up into one.

i think if you view it wholly as eroticism & trying to bust it seems disappointing, but it's really just a bar where you get to see live performance. so all the appeals of a bar PLUS watching contortionists & dancers do their thing.

It's the place you go to so when you disrespect the old mobster that runs the place he murders you in the men's room and disposes of your body in a quarry.

The boys: at a strip club to look at the bazoinkas and paying to pitch a tent

Me: At the strip club for the cheap wings and beer, and helping the girls unionize.

None of you people have actually been to strip clubs and it shows.

A private dance is a lot more intimate than the name implies. If you tip nicely, you can basically get dry-humped to completion if you're into that. Or you use the opportunity to talk business since some strippers also moon light as sex-workers.

Of course I don't frequent these establishments because I'm not a creep but I do understand how they work. It's like going into a mob front restaurant and asking how they stay in business if the spaghetti tastes horrible. That's not what they're selling dear hexbear.

im not saying this to be demeaning towards anyone who works in a strip joint, nor am i commenting on the reasons one would work there.

That said, some places are topless only. Some places are full nude. Some places, like outside of city limits where places like these are regulated, the sky is the limit. Some places are full alcohol service. Some places are dry. Some are BYO. I work in a smallish city, lots of my service calls are on a particular stretch of interstate between my smallish city and the next smaller city. There is a place I pass pretty regularly along the road there that has been there since i was 10 (im 45 now for reference) that is full nude. and they provide setups for your alcohol. They refer to the women who work there as ‘models’. There is no pricing of sorts. Everything is arranged between the customer and the ‘model’. The model takes you back to their private booth/stall/whateverthefuck and what you two agree to, and the price you agree to is between you, the model, and the four walls. Because it is in the sticks out in the county, it is not regulated by any city entity.

There are some places where sex workers strip at, and will pursue ‘side work’ if the customer meets whatver standards the sex worker has.

There are also some places where if you look at the women improperly, youll be bounced on the spot with a lump on the side of your head for your troubles.

I guess it all depends on business/business location/owner/workers.

Having never been myself, I'm speculating a bit, but I've talked about it with coworkers who go in the past and I suspect it's more of a power fantasy. It's a place where attractive women who wouldn't normally give them the time of day will fawn over them because they have money.

Funny thread for the bear website, also really seems to have brought the @s out of the woodwork, typical redditbrain stuff.

They exist for the same reason hooters exist. You do an already established activity (hooters: eat fast food, strip club: drinking alone), but then you add in cute girls who pretend to like you to make you feel less alone

Personally I’m looking forward for when they create sexualized basketball so I can have cute girls encourage me to shoot threes

It's worth noting that while you can't touch the workers, they're allowed to make quite a lot of contact with you. This leads to guys throwing money at pretty ladies in hopes of some mild foreplay.

Strip clubs have been around for a long, long time. I assume in a time before the internet and being able to see naked women on demand, going to a strip club was a more novel activity.

It’s also a social activity. Why do people like going to the bar? I’ve always thought going to the bar was stupid, but plenty of people have fun doing that. A strip club is sorta like a bar with near-naked women dancing. I’ve met women who like going to the strip club, either with other women or with their guy friends.

You strip and people pay you, obviously

I was a stripper briefly in my 20s, though not a very good one and not in a big city

AMA

When to a strip club 3 times in my life. The first time I was a young incel about 18 years old and fell in love with one of the ladies who was friendly with me. The stripping was boring. I was just lonely and needed a dream.

The other two times were boring as shit. It was a few years later and I didn't see the point in it. I always just wanted to chat with the women, and was low key jealous of the women in my party who attended and did just that with the workers, but without the weirdness of male/female relations in a strip club. I stopped going after that, amd just tops my friends no if they asked to go together.

Later I would find a girlfriend and stopped being a weird incel. Then I would transition and stopped being jealous of women.

The only other "strip" show I watched, I don't count because was legitimate burlesque and the performers were incredible, doing crazy rope tricks and magic, and one guy had a wild 3D shadow puppet show.

Waste money lol

Thanks for this thread I asked myself the same questions

I've never been to one, but apparently the ones in the US have like an unlimited breakfast food buffet? I assume some people are having the saddest pancakes of their lives while having someone dance in the vicinity.

I have done some bouncing. Your bread and butter client is there for emotional not sexual gratification. For the cost of a fancy dinner like you get to experience beeing a rock star. Beautiful women talk to you, compliment you, seek out your attention. If you a monogamous cis het normal guy you get to experience the thrill of cheating in a safe controlled environment.

Pretty girls are a plus but even boomers get tired of that fairly quickly.
