Whatever, Brad's is a good time when you just want to hang out with your buddies. Any man who says they don't like looking at naked women is a liar. What was the point of this?

I apologize if it didn't rise to the high standard of discussion you've grown accustomed to. I'll try to do better next time, chuckles.

Yeah, I'm retarded because I don't think you are as witty as you think you are.

Then we're in agreement.

It was awesome that you came out. I m surprised you caved in after all those years... Other than that after reading your post twice... I don t seem to see where you said that you don t like looking at naked girls. I totally understand not enjoying a strip club. I like going and people watching, but you will NEVER see me in pervert row... no matter how many of my friends insist Holly smells wonderful. ;P

I'm a big fan of naked girls, it's true. I just kind of like that sort of thing in a moderately more intimate or creative (you know, like a burlesque show) setting. I'm glad that I've finally done the strip club thing, though. It gave me something to write about. I probably would have enjoyed it more had I been properly inebriated.

Gotta say I'm with Drinky on this, all silly arguments aside. Strip clubs are a lot like churches...they flash a lot of seemingly nice things your face, entice you with some stuff that looks good and seems to have the promise and make you think you're getting somewhere, but in the end all they want is your money.

And go easy on Randy. He's a young, idealistic, some may think hard-headed, but he means well. At least I think he does. I disagree with a lot of what he says but generally I applaud his gumption and his willingness to be the dissenting voice, and he's generally a funny guy and a welcome voice on this site.

But Randy, regarding your statement that "Any man who says he doesn't like naked women is a liar"...what about gay men?

I mean no great offense to young Randy. And I take none. I'm an old veteran of playing the dozens on message boards, and I very much enjoy it.

I actually enjoy the little scuffles on here every once in awhile. What I don't like so much is when things get ugly, as they do invariably on every story on the Star's site. The posters here at least know how to keep some semblance of manners. :)

Yeah, I'm sorry. I was kind of a dick.

No problem. It gave me an excuse to respond in a dickish way, which is always appreciated.

"I don't get it. Even if the mechanical motions of naked people turn you on, you're just paying to get turned on. There is no happy ending."

you're going to the wrong strip clubs brotha!

I'm with ya Drinky, I'm 26 and I've never been to a strip club before. I love the ladies, I love the naked ladies even more. Maybe it's cause I've pretty much had on and off again girlfriends since high school, but I've just never had the urge to pay money to get grinded on by professional "dancers". I'd rather get with a naked girl that WANTS to be naked for me...and not doing it for financial reasons. Just seems a little weird to me... the expensive drinks just make it an even less attractive destination.

But I know guys who have gotten caught up in the clubs and get addicted. I'm pretty content not going to a strip club anytime soon, but I'm glad to hear I'm not missing out on a whole other world of awesomeness.

The "teeming testicled masses"... beautiful...just beautiful...

Thank you. I'm very proud.

HAHA YOU SAID I AM SANE!! j/k also I would like to say the girls that work there are very nice, most of the men seemed borderline creepy/gross/possibly have never seen boobs on a girl they were dating before :)

I reserve the right to revoke your sanity at any time.

My favorite strip club memory was going to PT's on a Saturday night when they had "Ladies Night." Women are MUCH crazier than men when it comes to strippers. The time I was there it was a bachelorette party and the stripper (a man) just about got the (soon-to-be) bride's dress completely off her body, and the other girls were groping at the guy and everything else. It was insanity.

I'm convinced that the last time I went to a strip club I got gonorrhea of the leg. Read: the place was nasty. But the best part about it, outside of the dancer almost refusing to dance for my manfriend in favor of dancing for me, was watching the faces of girls while they danced. You could practically see them creating their shopping lists in their heads.

Yeah, I think that just about anything can get boring if it becomes your job. Even taking off your clothes in front of a crowd of strangers.

Very interesting topic! I went to PT's once for a bachelorette party and found it all a little sad and kind of gross. I like to leave something to the imagination and not have it all hang out for show. The stripper who danced for us seemed so nice a couple of my friends and myself ended up just talking to him and asked him why he was working there. Apparently he was trying to put himself through school and the money was good. Who knows, but it was interesting to watch the women who were yelling and grabbing. I like to drink, act goofy, and dance around - but not with a naked guy and a group of obnoxious women salivating over him. Pass!
