i can really only scratch the surface on this issue here because it's just a ginormous issue, i'm tempted to even delve into the stereotyping of sex workers in general, but i'll stick to what i've lived and what i know.
i have heard this sentence millions of times "i would never DATE a stripper, but i would totally fuck the shit out of one of these bitches".
Has society made you so fucked up that you are so puritan, so jealous, so insecure that you could never date a woman who strips for money, doesn't turn tricks, goes home, showers, watches documentaries and has an otherwise normal life?
the other day a guy was whipping 1 dollar bills at me as hard as possible. when i asked him why he said "i'm having a bad day". I replied with "i am HUMAN. not a punching bag. thanks." i now believe that men who come into the club think that i am inhuman, but they don't seem to understand that i have thoughts, a sense of humor, feelings and a REAL HUMAN LIFE. outside of the club.
another thing, my body is MY body. when you give me 20 bucks for a lapdance, you are paying for your time with me. it is a strip club, in am an entertainer. one night a man said to me "i OUGHT to be able to touch your tits." this enraged me to the point where i gave him a super shitty lapdance. you do not have unlimited access, nor should you have unlimited access to a body that is not yours.
some stripper jokes ive seen or heard this week
"never date a girl who pays her rent in singles"- David Spade (hey at least i can afford my rent, unlike half the men i've dated in philadelphia, no matter if i've paid in singles, 20s, 50s, 100s. since i started stripping, i've never had trouble paying the rent. and i've never, ever asked a boyfriend for money which is more than i can say for a TON of men.)
"this place smells like strippers perfume. i feel like i'm going to get herpes sitting on this couch."- forgetting sarah marshall (other than this movie being hilarious this line irritated the crap out of me. basically i don't like the stereotype that most strippers are riddled with stds or are hookers. i don't personally know any strippers that have sex for money. and most of us strippers are very clean and get tested more than the average person.)
so people, get over your preconcieved notions about people i'm sure you have not even taken a second to get to know. and stop assuming we are robotic, zombie like idiotic naked chicks with no feeling and no lives and no common sense. work on NOT being brainwashed by society.

1 so tell me what you REALLY think:
I've had very little experience in strip clubs. I delivered my very first pizza to one, I went to one to get drunk once, and I went to one for a friend's bachelor party. Once my financial situation improves I do want to go again on a quiet afternoon so I can try a lap dance and hopefully have a chance to chat with the
dancers a little. Maybe ask them about their blogs.
At some point I felt sorry for strippers because I thought they did it out of desperation, and knowing an alcoholic stripper kind of reinforced that. Then I
read more about women in the adult entertainment industries and realized that
a lot of them are happy and healthy people.
My thoughts about the dancers after the last time I went to a club: It was so athletic I thought that they would have to be really fit, and I wondered whether spending a lot of time breathing second hand cigarette smoke would negate the benefits of all that exercise. I wondered whether they would smell like aftershave from the contact they have with the customers, and whether they'd be exhausted at the end of the day. Thinking about whether I would date a stripper, I think it would be cool because it seems like a lot of them would be really interesting people, but I know I'd be jealous of her customers and feel threatened by the fact that she is regularly approached by men with lots of money when I don't have a huge income.
