total body workout posted:You mention that what defines a "sex worker" is that they do what they do by choice. One thing that should be made really clear is that there's a huge difference between a sex worker and a sex slave. A sex worker is an ordinary person who has chosen to trade their body/sexuality for profit, a sex slave is a slave who is being exploited sexually. The issue when someone is being forced into prostitution isn't protitution, it's slavery. Slavery is bad, it doesn't matter if the person is being forced to pick cotton or suck a dick. As far as economic pressures go, same basic idea, the problem isn't prostitution, it's only a symptom of far reaching social problems(education, job opportunities, economic disparity between rich and poor, etc).

luscious posted:I'm good at talking and getting naked though. Well, that sounds like half of the perfect woman.  I'd have thought even the guys not into fetishes would have a pretty big psycological aspect to it, if it were purely visual, why not just watch free porn? I guess it could be awkward to ask customers why they come to you, but then I'd find it awkward to ask someone to masturbate covered in cheese, then eat it, so my standards may not apply.

luscious posted:The people who spend that much on me have very similar interests and are people who I invest a lot of time in outside of the club. One of them texts with me almost daily, the other is just lonely and hungry for companionship. I offer them both a girlfriend experience where I remember / communicate with them outside of the club, bring them comics / dvds that they might be interested in... it's mostly just that they know that they mean something to me. I guess that is "exceptional service" but not really... it's just part of doing my job that I guess I do really well. How seperate are your business and personal lives? You mentioned the deployed soldier, do you ever worry about this sort of customer getting too attached?

VirtualStranger posted:If prostitution were ever decriminalized, do you think that there would be a large drop in demand for strip clubs? I think it's a lot like drugs, the people who want to do them will find a way whether or not it's legal and the people who like a beer after work won't switch to coke just because it became legal. If anything, I'd guess "massage parlors" would take a big hit, but even then, they'd probably just turn into full on brothels. luscious posted:Stripclubs are a social environment where people go to look at pretty ladies and be entertained. The handful of strip clubs I've been to were fairly dark, with loud music, and had very expensive drinks, none of that really made it feel like a social experience to me. Burlesque shows, on the other hand have had a fun, relaxed atmosphere where it felt like everyone, preformers and audience, were in on the joke. Strip clubs basically seem to take "lol boobs" way to seriously, any thoughts on that?

luscious posted:I'd say that the social aspect is more "we're going to the club!" than anything else. Maybe it's not... I'm just going on what I see / the dynamics that bring guys in. I can definitely see it as a social thing for the guys going, when my friends and I turned 18 part of the experience was being old enough to go to Hull and hit up some strip clubs and buying each other stage dives. I thought you meant it was social between you and the customers, which isn't something I've experienced at a club, but probably does happen with regular customers. luscious posted:
Some quick googling makes it seem like the issue is burlesque dancers thinking their better for offering a different service. The most sense I can make out of it is they aren't really comfortable with what they're doing and want to distance themselves from the sex industry, which is pretty dumb, considering that their job is to get on stage and pander their sexuality. One page I skimmed over claimed that the difference was theatricality and personality, and I have to say, any stripper that doesn't pull those off probably isn't a very good stripper.

Like I said, it's all about the fantasy so sometimes I think that they're into the whole "can't speak English" or whatever because they like the idea of a girl who can't say no, won't say no, seems desperate, seems unhappy, seems happy... I dunno. Oh yeah, I wouldn't expect the personality a stripper presents to be her actual personality, anyone good at customer service knows you need to put on the right mask for the right customer.

luscious posted:I dunno... I don't really have a stripper persona. What you see if what you get. I do pretend to be more interested in certain things for certain customers but I am not good at playing games and pretending to be other people. It does cut my money a bit but not enough that I care to try harder. I mean, acting all day all night is too much - especially when you work at the same club for a long time. It's kinda hard to lie for three years... I wouldn't go as far as calling it lying or pretending to be someone else. I used to work retail and I'd behave differently for different customers, if it was a frail 80 year old woman, my body language and way of speaking would be very different than if it was someone my age, or a tradesman, or anything else that gave me a hint as to what would meet their expectations. E: it worked well too, some people would look specifically for me and at a job where people don't get tips, I got more than a few tips.

I want to be on the same page with my customers when the outcome might become sexual assault / rape, y'know? Yeah, for sure, I have no doubt you know what you're doing and all of my customer service experince has come from very different environments than what you work in, so it doesn't quite relate. I find the similarities and differences between sex work and other types of service pretty interesting. Do you think your work has given you any transferable skills?

How big a risk is on stage accidents for preformers? I don't think I've ever heard of a stripper breaking something on stage or coming off, but considering how many people die in bathrooms every year, it seems like someone must be occasionally taking a serious fall. Is there insurance they could get, and/or would the club have any responsibility?

luscious posted:No and no. If you injure yourself you are pretty much SOL. Club will not take any responsibility (and I have never worked at a club where I didn't have to sign some kind of huge contract stating as much) and yah good luck trying to get workers comp. But would that stand up in court? I've signed some of those myself, for paintball, and remember being told that you can't sign away your right to a safe environment, something I think would be even more true for a work place. My boss could have me sign every waver imaginable but if the terms on them aren't legal they might as well be toilet paper, from what I understand. I guess it would be better to ask in the legal questions thread, but it's an interesting idea. It would be pretty funny if a court ruled strip clubs were unsafe and required every stage to be surrounded by gym mats and every stripper to wear a helmet. E: And every stripper who has change thrown at them should have to wear an old time goalie mask. It would be the most popular fetish in Canada.

luscious posted:I'm not saying that it doesn't happen and I have worked for clubs that were owned by bikers. I've heard The Silver Dollar is run by Hells Angels, but for all I know they might just hang out there. Are clubs like that safer than regular ones? From what I've been told, their areas tend to be fairly peaceful, as any criminal who wants to keep walking knows not to poo poo where Angels eat. My mom even knows someone who's house was emptied in a B&E, only to have a u-haul bring everything back that night and get an apology for allowing such a disgraceful thing to happen in one of their neighborhoods.

razorrozar posted:Just occurred to me: Why would an ostensibly straight guy know the exact length of four of his friends' cocks? Obviously he was just BS-ing dirty talk, but how could that come off as sexy? Is this something friends are supposed to tell each other now? I don't know how long any of my friends' dicks are. I'm pretty sure it's dirty talk from a guy who watches so much porn he'd rather fantasize about watching a 'friend' with a 13" dick, than taking a role himself. It's kind of a shame our porn saturated society can create that sort of disconnection in someone's sexuality, but maybe he's just trying to find the most acceptable way to think about giant black dicks, while still being 'straight'. And the reason to know a friend's dick size is obvious. Lets say there a serial dick chopper in your area and your friends' dicks are cut off, and they need you to identify who's is who's. If you have an in depth knowledge of their lengths and girths, you'll be able to return the dicks to their proper owners, but if you don't, you could mix them all up and potentially ruin lives. That wouldn't be being a very good friend.

Any thought's on this: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/prostitution-bill-critics-treated-as-hostile-witnesses-at-committee-1.2704434quote:After sitting through more than 16 hours of often heart-wrenching witness testimony, Conservative MPs voted to make just one substantive change Tuesday to Justice Minister Peter MacKay's bid to rewrite Canada's prostitution laws, by narrowing the proposed blanket ban on "public communications" related to sex work to apply only to areas near playgrounds, schoolyards and daycare centres. quote:Ambler was particularly perturbed by the Liberals and NDP submitting the names of two witnesses that, she argued, had no business sharing their views on the proposed legislation: University of Victoria researcher Chris Atchison and the Adult Entertainment Association of Canada. quote:Natasha Potvin, a former sex worker who now volunteers with the Victoria-based sex worker support group PEERS, testified on Thursday. In her opening statement, she stressed that the 15 years she spent in the sex trade — from age 21 to 37 — were entirely voluntary. quote:Ambler, however, seemed more interested in discrediting Potvin than asking her to expand on her concerns. Seems like once again our fine Conservative party is sparing us expert and experienced opinion in favour of hearsay and bullshit.
