I don’t get many girly magazines (I’m talking PG here people, lol) bc so many of them are either completely FULL of ads *ahemCosmoahem* and no substance or they are geared towards a 50′s housewife different type of mom than I am, KWIM? *LOL* But one of the ones I do still enjoy is Glamour. One of my favorite sections is the “Do’s & Don’ts”. I was surprised to read this…
Going to strip clubs with him:
69% say it’s a DON’T“Bad idea, and not just because then you smell like a strip club” says one reader (24)
Seriously???? In this day and age women still feel that way about strip clubs and their men going to them AND about them going with them?!?! I was taken aback. I know a TON of women who enjoy going to strip clubs with their husbands. I know a ton of women who go to strip clubs with other women. Hell, my sister, Roxy and I had plans to hit a strip club while we were in Vegas (before we had to bag that plan bc we were too hung over….lol) and my sister isn’t the most sexually overt person. I know I am extremely open minded. I’m also not judgemental in the slightest (or at least try really hard NOT to be). I tend to keep friends who are similarly open minded. And I read blogs of open minded people.
So I wonder if I’m being unrealistic and overly open minded on this topic????

Happy HUMP Day!!!

I think you are normal, or at least normal-ish. I mean, have you seen what they consider “naughty” in Glamour? I always laugh because it gets to the end of the article and I’m looking around like, ok when does it get to the naughty part? :)

♀ loves going to strip clubs with me. We usually sit right up at the stage so she doesn’t miss anything. The inside of her walk-in closet is completely covered in stripper poster and most are autographed to ♀. I ♥ being married to ♀!

Troll Magazine’s Poll OF Strippers shows that 72% of them prefer that women don’t come to the club with or without their husbands.

I have a feeling the women being polled for Glamour weren’t being 100% honest with themselves. Probably giving the answer that they felt was appropriate for a good girl!
One of my resolutions for the year is to go to a strip club with hubby…I’m looking forward to it and I am the quintessential good girl ;)

And I bet most of those women don’t want their *husbands* going to strip clubs either.

In general I don’t go to strip clubs…not because I don’t dig naked ladies ..I do…its just because the scene isn’t really my thing. Now I know a lot of ladies who would NEVER step foot in one for personal and religious reasons. Believe it or not there are still a lot of women who see them as “Dens of inequity”. However I will tell you there is a STRONG correlation between hatred of strip clubs and self esteem. That all being said if I had a woman and she wanted to go to a strip club with me I would totally go with her.

One of our favorite dates for my wife and I is going to strip clubs. Of course she is extremely bi so that may have something to do with it. The only problem I have with going to strip clubs is that I usually end up spending WAY too much money and then have to play catch-up for a month.
VixenFebruary 3rd, 2010 at 8:53 am
Maggie- uh yeah….lol. I laugh at the articles about sex and how to get the *UMPF* back in your relationship, etc. Then when you read it your like- wait…I already do all that stuff.
HAHAHA…
VixenFebruary 3rd, 2010 at 8:54 am
Troll- LOL IDK why….
Babe- you might be completely right there.
Roxy- yeah, agreed. That’s a whole ‘nother CQW, doh.
VixenFebruary 3rd, 2010 at 8:57 am
K- I think you are on to something there.
Jeff- possibly her being bi makes it more enjoyable, probably makes her want to go more often a female that is not. But I do know of women who *aren’t* bi that like going with their husbands too.
Had to LOL @ your money remark though. Hehe…so true. :)

What do they mean by you smell like a strip club, what does a strip club smell like? I’ve never noticed any unusual smells.
PCFebruary 3rd, 2010 at 9:22 am
Frankly, I have zero desire to go to a strip club, except perhaps to take Vixen and to feed her dollar bills to feed back to the girls.
Back in my early Navy days, I went a few times with some of my buds. In particular, I remember taking Woody, one of our roommates. He was this nerdy, red headed kid with permanently dried milk at the corner of his mouth and covered in giant freckles. Yeah, that kid. He sort of looked like Alfred E Neuman (Mad Magazine).
Anyway, watching the poor kid literally drool was enough to turn me off. The lap dance thing never quite did it for me either. Back then, I would have loved more interaction. But then again, I was still a virgin myself back when we went.
I have nothing against them these days. But it’s still not my scene. I just don’t care of that, porn or anything like that. My imagination is plenty sufficient without such imagery.

I don’t really get it either… but I do agree that most of the women I know who claim to LOATHE strip clubs (and will not allow their husbands to go to them) have major self-esteem issues.
I think probably trust – and the lack of it – plays a big part as well.

I guess I’m in the minority here. I am very open sexually, kinda hard to be into BDSM and NOT be open. I have been in more relationships with women than men, and am far more attracted to women than I am men. I have ZERO self esteem issues. I love porn! I just find them strip clubs tasteless. To me, they are the kind of place skeevy men go to get attention from women, who otherwise wouldn’t give them the time of day.
Could be that I have a mighty persuasive smile, and have never had a problem getting a woman I find attractive to dance and take off her clothes for me. *snort*
Honestly, they are a deal breaker for me. Right up there with Nascar and Jerry Springer. I am never going to *click* with someone who sees that as entertainment.
Just my opinion.

cause you might smell like a stripper? *scoff…sputter…cough* gawd! i’ve been to strip clubs before. with different bf’s also. i also keep an open mind and reserve any judgement for the extreme situations only.
trust and self esteem. yup yup
MinorityReportFebruary 3rd, 2010 at 7:19 pm
I think it’s all really up to the individual.
Covert LoverMy opinion is closer to Vixen Kitten’s than the others on here. I don’t have any self esteem issues. I’m happy with my body and myself. I’m ‘ok’ with porn and a little flirting. I’m not the most sexually open (or experienced) person in the world, but like Vixen Kitten the strip club thing is/was a deal breaker for me. Two things bug me about them: 1. There’s something about the idea of paying for sexual attention from someone that doesn’t sit well with me. and 2. I don’t like the idea of the person I’m with getting all worked up at a strip club and coming home and touching me. I know there are arguments against each of my points, but that’s just sexually repressed me.

I would have to guess you are being unrealistic in expecting more than 31% of women would have no problem with strip clubs.
I can think of… a mere two women I know (IRL) that would be comfortable accompanying their bf/husbands to a strip joint.
And me personally…
Up until a few years ago I would’ve been one of those saying *OH HEEELLLL NO!* to me going, AND to him going alone. I didn’t mind him going with buddies a couple times a year, but that was the limit of my tolerance. As a matter of fact, I know I have said on more than one occasion – “I will never step foot into a strip club.”
But then again I have personal trauma involving a slutty once-stripper-turned-into-ooops-pregnant-ended-up-wife. So I would be quite biased in that opinion.
Now however, I don’t see a problem with accompanying your man to a strip club every now and then at all. I’ve still never been, so I don’t know if it would be my cup of tea but I’d like to at least go once to find out! :)

While I’ve been to my share of clubs, it doesn’t do much for me now. Probably because I’m too cheap :) But I see no problem taking your girl to a strip club. It can be a lot of fun if done correctly ;)
Hey, I’m going to a club next week and need a date… ;)
LolitaFebruary 4th, 2010 at 8:22 pm
*sigh* If only we were going for more than a day! Def on the list for next time! ;)
HoneyFebruary 6th, 2010 at 10:14 am
Well, those women would definitely think that it was a BIG don’t that my wedding party went to a strip club the night before the wedding. Yes, Yummy was there with me and he says he got more enjoyment watching the strippers with me than if they would have been with him. I *heart* going with Yummy… couples that play together, stay together… so I guess, we have nothing to worry about. LOL
