I'm not. I'm aware that many think I should be, though.

Is your money handed to you at the end of the night or do you get it personally from each customer, if so where do you keep it all night ? Do you walk out with tons of 1 dollar bills or do you leave with 100 dollar bills?

I get cash tips from customers throughout the evening. I have - every dancer has - a small purse (like a clutch with a strap) that we keep our earnings in. You carry it around with you. And I get it all - ones to hundreds. I deposit my money in the ATM so I don't have to have that awkward moment with the bank teller thinking "that's an awful lot of small bills....."

If your husband needs to reach you when you're working, how does he do it? Can you check your phone in between dances easily?

You seem awesome OP.

Ever think of becoming a cam girl? They can make as much as 1 million dollar year.

No. Even if I wasn't a dancer, the industry would still exist. Grown-ups are responsible for their own actions, period.

I don't have a problem with what you do, but that answer is not really justification. Almost any crime and hurtful action can be justified in this manner.

OP is not responsible for other people's choices.

She is enabling them

I hate the idea that all women are somehow responsible for policing the sex drives of men. Men are capable of making their own choices and being responsible for them. Men wanting to pay for sexual attention from women is hardly new.

OP, I've known a few women that were strippers. One admitted she had to stop because her view of men was deteriorating. Do you find yourself having a level of disrespect for men since you've started?

There is a big difference between being asked to police men's sex drives and being asked not to thrust your vagina in a man face

I agree, but it's all the more puzzling why she is a stripper

Because it's a good way for her to earn money in the circumstances she's in -- or so I assume. Why do you do whatever you do for pay?

she lives off her husbands income, including supporting a toddler. Those are not circumstances with no options for any other way to make money for some savings and car repairs besides taking your clothes off with the purpose of sexually arousing men for money. This is not a woman who would be on the streets without this.

I work in an ER, and see/hear it all, so genuinely concerned for OP and her safety since I see the really dark and dangerous ending of these fun nights out with stripper, drugs, drinking and prostitiuon going on all around her, even if she's not participating directly.

I have been propositioned - it happens all the time. I'm never tempted to take any of the men (or couples, it's happened) up on their offer. I've found some of the men attractive, but I'm in a money-making mindset, and I'm married - not interested.

How much money would it take for you to accept a proposition

I've been offered huge amounts of money. I'm not for sale.

Just name an amount

Unanswered question OP

Are there a lot of drugs in the club? Is one (or more) dancer also a part time dealer? Does hanky panty actually happen in the private rooms ... not by you as you've answered but with other girls?

There seems to be huge earnings potential with no degrees req! For example after taxes, I make 2800 a month as a lawyer for the gov!

Not the op, but I had a 2 friends when I was much younger that were strippers. One had a 1 yr old child. She stripped for 5 yrs, banked enough for the kid's entire college tuition, bought a house then quit and started another career. She hustled and was like the OP in that it was strictly a money maker for her.

My other friend was a young twenty two year old. She got married straight out of high school and had just gotten a divorce because she was bored. Started stripping, partying, and doing drugs. She never saved a penny of her earnings.

It takes a certain kind of personality to really make it in that business. Unfortunately, a good number of strippers get sucked into the darker parts of the industry.

Sorry OP, not trying to hijack!

Is there? Who is responsible for men wanting to see women dance while partially nude? Why is his personal interactions the responsibility of someone selling him a legal service? You not wanting someone else to be sexy isn't her problem. Those are your own security issues, and it is perpetuating sexist beliefs.
