Stripping...

United States
June 16, 2007 5:07pm CST
How would you feel if you found out that a loved one had been stripping for extra cash? What if this was your partner, the person you are in a relationship with? I'm not certain as to how I would react honestly. In the first I would probably want to know the reasons and would most likely go "ok, cool - be safe and don't be stupid". With a partner however, I would most likely be "ok" with it in the beginning and then my mind would wander...

well, If I find it out, that my beloved is stripping for money, I'd get a little upset that she didn't ask for help from me! I'd have financed her and comforted her.. but if she's doing it just to show her body and feel wanted then nooooooooo I'd definately let go!

Well if she is doing it to feel wanted - there are probably other problems in the relationship as well duncha think?

oi - that is just so sad. I guess I just happen to be around people that are of the "f'n yeah!" mentality. Don't care what others think and questions others thoughts on what they do think. I get that it can feel empowering and that it's always nice to be complimented - but oi.

Well for a male 'exotic dancer' there is only one thing the girls are gagging to see and there is not much point in keeping it covered. haha Would it turn you on more if I kept my socks on? Would my wife be upset? I doubt it as I let it all hang out on a beach anyway - for free. haha

If she was all for it then I would support her in her artistic choice. BUT, and it is a big but, stripping is old hat now and doesn't titilate the punters so strippers have to go further with 'audience participation' and niether of us would be happy with that.

nothing wrong with stripping if you have the body for it, why not? However, if you are deceiving your partner and stripping without their knowledge, then something else is very wrong blessed be

well, i cant imagine many women wanting to look at males lol well not unless they are going to laugh and point anyway. But, no i dont think it makes any difference if its a makle or female if it is what they want to do

Do you think this would change if it's a girl or a guy though? I mean - you say that it's fine but is there a difference when it comes to the sexes? I agree that no one should lie to their S.O. but there are probably other factors as well...

I would not like it if my BF was stripping for cash. I would not like that at all. I have heard to many stories where the woman actually fall in love with the strippers and they take it to the next level too. On the other hand if it were my 22 year old son then I would be proud of him LOL! weird huh?

lol I think that falls into a society glitch. It's like how women sleeping with lots of guys is trashy but if a guy sleeps with lots of girls it means he's a stud. If a young guy can actually get girls to pay him to dance for them - why not? An older guy should be able to control himself and hone in on one girl however. At least - thats how it seems to work.

If I found out a loved one was stripping I wouldnt judge them at all..they obviously need to make a living too BUT I would ask them why they chose to strip of all things. Now if it was my man stripping I WOULD NOT allow that crap to go on if he was with me, I dont want no other chicks trying to grab on his goods which are suppose to be for me only! that would bother me very much and I wouldnt be with a guy who stripped..just my opinion

I agree. It's one of those territory things I think. It would be fine with me for any of my friends/family members to be stripping - especially if they had thought about it first. However, having my partner out there is a totally different story and my mind would start playing tricks on me.

this makes a lot of sense, anything that is done without my full knowledge is a problem blessed be

The only thing I'd be ticked about is the fact that he didnt tell me...especially since I was a stripper for yrs...If it was a friend I'd be cool with it, but I'd want to know why and I'd give them my standard lecture on the ins and outs of the biz these days which is totally different to when I started and was in it (though the change took place while I was in the biz and is the key reason I got out)

I would be really mad because they kept a lie from me, and lieing in a relationship is never good, no matter what the circumstances. Unless it's a little white lie, but that certainly wouldn't qualify as a little white lie! I think that I would also be upset because if they are stripping in front of other people, who knows what else they are doing? I would be furious! Lol.

To lie about it - yes this would definatly be a cause for wondering what else they are doing. However, what if they had been doing it the whole time and you hadn't been together long enough (1-2 months) and THEN she/he told you?

The nicer name for it is now "exotic dancing" which makes me laugh! One of my daughters was an "exotic dancer" for years in Los Angeles and at first I wasn't too thrilled but got used to the idea. She actually met her husband while she was dancing which I find very funny to this day. She never stripped down to nothing and I was very happy about that.

Did she tell you she was dancing or did you find out by accident? And did it simply grow on you or did she work it into you so to speak? The fact that someone so close to you has stripped is intriguing.

If it was a loved one, I'd want them to get out of it as soon as possible. The longer you stay in, the harder it is to say no when people offer you 1200 bucks for something extra. If it was my partner, as long as he wasn't currently doing it I wouldn't really care.

I don't think that it would go over too well with me if they were doing it behind my back. If they came to me upfront and let me know, that would be a different story. People have to do what they have to do. But doing it secretively would definitely get me hot, because if you aren't doing anything wrong, then why do you have to hide it?

I totally agree - most things can be worked through if only the person is honest about it. Do you think it changes if the dancer is a guy or a girl?

Stripping is a new/old concept. I was a "GO GO Dancer" for 9 years 1975-1984 when I retired to have children, I was making $20 per hr average gig was 7 hours. I worked on stage only 30 min per hr but was paid for the full hour. On top of that, I averaged $200 per night in tips. I suppose I was lucky, I would NOT put up with what goes on now. In the days before my time there were burlesque halls where the "strippers" paraded with feathers or baloons "flashing" a little. And they did a "strip tease" Tease being the word. They did not get naked and slide on a pole. When I was a dancer, we had poles. The pole was not the main attraction like it is now. We wouldn't DREAM of paying the club to work there, WHAT ENTERTAINER would?!? We also stayed on the stage or at least behind the bar. I don't understand what happened, but it was something horrible. You can see pix from way back then by going to myspace it will be easy to find me there, same name. As far as a partner (male) stripping... Honestly, I've always felt embarassed for them, the ones that weren't gay anyway. It's not a good job anymore if you see it from how it has just gone into the sewer compared to what it was. No one DARED to call me a stripper when I was a dancer, not even a "gogo girl" I took offense. And I still cringe at the term...it's degrading to me. The dancers need to form a union and take back the profession. Exotic Dance is an art form if you all decide to keep it that way. Make yourselves worth the money. And one last thing... Once a woman is naked, what's left for a man to want? At least keep a pair of stockings on, you will be surprised at how much$ you will be offered for the stockings!

Pysha! You will be amazed at how well it will work. But I speak from more than experience... My 21 year old daughter tried to show mommy she could do that too... Hmmmm. Well listen girl, if you DO decide to give it a shot, remember this if you remember nothing else: "I don't care what people say about me, as long as they keep talking!"

hmmmmmmmmm. If its just stripping (no contact) I might be ok with that I think. But if its more than that no way. people have every right to choose how the get their money (as long as its legal). If its my husband again as long as there is nothing else going on I would be 51% ok but not 100%.

Legality seems to be based on the area more so than morality. However I see your point :) For your husbands case, I think I would stay away from the biz just to escape the wrath of the other 49% lol! Thanx for the comment!

I will ask how much the job pays and if there is any opening for a new stripper.
