one of my friends from work (when I had a job :tongue: ) had a second job as a stripper she was a cool gal personally, it just ain't my thing
I have very mixed feelings about it as a woman, an artist, a feminist, a woman attracted to other women, a human, a sex enthusiast... You see? I went to a strip club for the first time a bit ago and I really enjoyed it. I always thought if I went I'd be trying to kick men in the face but I just had to ignore them.
So what if someone wants t be a stripper? How does it effect yer life? Yuh got too little t do if'n yer worryin' about what other people are doin'. Get a life.
I have nothing against women who want to be strippers But i personally dont get the whole thing Why is nudity sexual? Why is taking off bits of clothing to reveal a normal human body sexual? I could see tons of men naked and would only be attracted to certain men, and that would be because of factors other than their bodies I dont understand the "woot, a breast, now im hard and want to fuck!" stuff. Maybe because we dont wear clothes unless its cold at home and ive grown used to it. Its just this culture and the way its grown. But i dont like it Less generally, as i said, if a woman told me she was a stripper, id just say "oh"
P.s-and if its NOT about sexuality then what is it? If its "just fun" then istn that kind of like saying...a woman showing her naked body as it naturally is is funny...something unusual or odd...something to glare at?
Well, just because I see an exposed breast it doesn't mean I'm immediately aroused. Women just THINK men are that way. Some are I'm sure, but to generalize ALL men that way is a little short sighted. I haven't been to a strip club in years. I'd rather spend that money on something I could actually use. Ponder this for a moment...who has the upper hand in the equation, the dude throwing money at the stage or the woman getting that money? The only real difference in getting naked for a room full of men or your significant other is the fact that the stripper gets paid in the end. I don't see stripping as degrading in any way...no matter if said stripper is male of female. Like 99% of things in life it's all about personal choice. If you don't like it, don't participate...and don't bitch about the one's that choose to.
I never said all men think like that. Infact i know that they dont, my fiancé certainly doesnt for one. It wasnt about men I was saying that the INDUSTRY is promoting that kind of thought, simply because of what it is
That wasn't a response to you really...but cool. The industry is about the bottom line...moolah...cabbage...greenbacks. It's a better payoff than prostitution.
I think it is almost entirely a case-by-case thing. I've known several strippers in my lifetime, and their reasons for/feelings about it were pretty much split down the middle. Some women really and truly do see it as a way they can "empower" themselves, feel in control of their sexuality and their body in a relatively safe environment, and make a living at the same time. I've known just as many though, who felt it was "their only choice" because they didn't have a lot of education, training, etc. but still needed to make a living. A lot, I think, just has to do with the mentality of the individual women, and how "in control" they feel of their own lives. Single moms often strip, for instance (in fact, to this day my husband hates strip joints because the first times he ever set foot in them his own mom was dancing), because they feel they have no other choice. There's a song by Ani DiFranco that I think offers an interesting perspective, called "Letter to a John".... don't ask me why i'm crying i'm not going to tell you what's wrong i'm just gonna sit on your lap for five dollars a song i want you to pay me for my beauty i think it's only right 'cause i have been paying for it all of my life i'm gonna take the money i make i'm gonna take the money i make i'm gonna take the money i make and i'm gonna go away... we barely have time to react in this world let alone rehearse and i don't think i'm better than you but i don't think that i'm worse women learn to be women and men learn to be men and i don't blame it all on you but i don't want to be your friend i'm gonna take the money i make i'm gonna take the money i make i'm gonna take the money i make and i'm gonna go away... i was eleven years old he was as old as my dad and he took something from me i didn't even know that i had so don't tell me about decency don't tell me about pride just give me something for my trouble 'cause this time, it's not a free ride i'm gonna take the money i make i'm gonna take the money i make i'm gonna take the money i make and i'm gonna go away... don't ask me why i'm crying i'm not going to tell you what's wrong i'm just gonna sit on your lap for ten dollars a songs i want you to pay me for my beauty i think it's only right 'cause i have been paying for it all of my life now i just wanna take and i'm just gonna take i'm gonna take and i'm gonna go away
i enjoy going to see strippers... they dont' just rip there clothes off, in a unattractive way...they dance and move and make it sexy and engage the audience while taking off the clothes...now thats hot. if a girl just got up there, and took her shirt off, it'd be much different than a girl up there stripping... atleast the clubs i've gone to, and i've been to plenty and pole dancing - yea, thats extremely hard. complete the package of dancing, stripping and using the poll - you got a great time
I've always adored stripping. Sadly today most female strippers just take off their clothes and rub on people. That's not what I consider stripping at all. I want a performance in which the music, costumes and dance come together to create art that is titillating.
all stripping is meant to do is give a man a boner and then send him away unsatisfied and usually drunk...not a respectful thing to do
sad. but whatever, just don't come around my fiance (like that) unless you want your **** hung on a rather sharp hook. lol. But he'd never get one, so I don't have to worry, or care. but it's nothing I would ever do. If it doesn't affect me I don't care, but if it ever did see the above
its a job & no not make the woman feel cheap but be able to flaunt her beauty in a new way not the simple strut down the street but however she wants. seems fun to be able to get up on stage dnace & do what you love & want without being criticized as a singular person when spoken of theyll be talking of a full work force of women & will have to put that into considerationcall it a sport & an art
