Acceptance of stripping in the USA

[Admiral Yi]

I've heard about strip mining in the US? Myth?

Fact.  We even have strip malls.  And no-pest strips.

[The Brain]

Cool. But of course even in ancient times there were the topless towers of Ilium.

[Ed Anger]

We blow mountains apart.

Do you think the US will ever bring back constription?

With our obesity problem?  I hope not.

The fact that the US had striplings doesn't mean it had constription.* 


* by the UN's definition, anyway.

I think it has something to do with lingerie football.

I'll hazard a guess that for quite a few of us Brits, public nudity or sex shows are no big deal, but the issue is the high degree of commercialisation; it's accepted in America that many more leisure activities will have corporate element interposing itself between the individual and the fun, where as for me and others, that's a real big positive turn off. 

Corporate element?

Not really sure what you are talking about there.

It's Mongers, man.

Who gets a hard on at a strip club?

Those paying for "lap dances" (or at least, so I would assume, never having done so myself). 

Sigh once again your ignorance is showing.


You are out of your element Malthus

So edumacate me.

Why, other than for sexual fun, do guys pay for "lap dances"?  Cultural appreciation, perhaps?

lap dancers = not the wife

That's pretty much it.

It's like going to the beach when it's guaranteed to rain.

It's like rain on your wedding day.

It's like rain on your wedding day.

It's a free ride when you've already paid.

When i've gone with friends it has been the custom of buying lap dances for them, not yourself and vice versa.

Good advice that you just didnt take.

With a stag party it's a way to toast the groom.  I think for most guys it's a way to negotiate more face time.
