Stripping 101

Stripping.  When most people hear that word the thoughts that go with it are not exactly pleasant.  Many people associate strippers with sleezy night clubs, drugs, and sex.  For some this may be the case, but for most this stereotype is not even close to reality.

Most bars or clubs that have strippers do not allow them to get completely naked.  State regulations allow all but the underwear to be removed.  Typically, you will see the women walking around in exotic outfits until it's their turn on stage, and then everything is taken off except panties and high heels.  

The strippers, aka dancers, also do private dances in rooms under video surveillance.  Customers simply request a particular dancer they want, pay the required amount, and then the dancer finds them when she is available.  The typical private dance lasts anywhere from ten to twenty minutes, depending on how much the customer is willing to tip.  

Private shows, away from the club, are also scheduled.  Up to four girls, and a bodyguard, go to a designated job sight so the girls can work.  Sometimes their dressing room is nothing more than a bathroom stall, and the men are drunk, obnoxious, and don't follow the show rules.  It can be very frustrating for all involved if the job was hours away, they didn't make much money, and the customers were unpleasant to work for.  

Here are a few quick facts about the working world of a stripper. There is no touching from the customers that are watching the girls, all contact is done by the girls themselves.  All money made at private shows is split evenly amongst the girls, minus a percentage to the bouncer.  Flirting while on the job is okay, giving out your number is not, you will be fired if you get caught.
