For those of you who have actually been to a strip club (free porn sites don’t count), you’ll know that it’s not exactly a ‘free for all’ party. In fact, most have a set list of rules that should never, ever be broken – and it’s not just about “no sex in the champagne room”. Below, we highlight a few of the rules in strip club etiquette. Provided by a real life stripper – for maximum authenticity.
1. Watch Your Mouth – Like your mother probably told you, unless you have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Remember that strippers are only doing their job, so screaming out degrading words is not exactly courteous. If a less-than-appealing dancer approaches you, a simple “no thanks” will suffice. No need to get rude.
2. Follow The Rules – While every club goes by a different set of rules, it’s important to pay attention and follow them accordingly. One of the most common ones is the “touch and go” policy, which forbids men from touching the strippers. Failure to do will result in a black eye and getting kicked to the curb. Now there’s something you don’t want to explain to your wife.
3. Don’t Assume That Strippers Are Dumb – Just because strippers flash their private bits, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are brainless. Ask any dancer and they’ll tell you all about the men who insist on treating them as special ed children. In reality, many strippers are educated and well-aware of their present situation. Dancing is merely a way of getting by.
4. Don’t Try To Score A Date – If you think that a strip club is a good place to meet single women, think again. Not only do many strippers have boyfriends, but it is against the rules to accept dates from fellow patrons. Asking a stripper out to dinner will be falling close to the “touch and go” policy.
5. Don’t Drink Too Much – One of the biggest reasons for patrons getting kicked out of strip clubs is due to excessive drinking. After one too many beers, you could be tempted to touch a strippers ass or wind up getting a little too rowdy for comfort. Don’t allow yourself to get out of control.
