Stripped

Tales of the naked city, from a Las Vegas dancer.

Dancers don’t shrink from psychiatric duties

By Justice

I forget sometimes that strippers are like naked therapists. With all the couches and the talking, it’s really exactly what we are. We have a hard earned high hourly rate because we fulfill important needs. The importance of our services varies from client to client. The least-important service, I’d argue, is the physical stimulation. Beauty and physical contact are valuable commodities but I think people spend more when they fall for inner beauty. Your hooks are in deep when they fall in love with you as an individual. Your time and company are so much more valuable, as a stripper, when you’re the perfect one and you’ve made a lasting impression.

On that note, as a stripper, you parade around in your underwear talking to thousands of people a year and they often just blend together in your memory. When they come back and remember your name and all the details of your made-up personal history, they often expect you to recognize them, and more, be thrilled to see them. They’ve fantasized about you and imagined how nice life would be if you were a bigger part of it. You were the highlight of their trip to Vegas. You don’t remember their face and you definitely don’t remember their name.

I think we should have clipboards with profiles of good customers left in a slot in front of VIP rooms like they have at doctors’ offices. It would read “Joe Kapowski from Oklahoma City. Married 12 years. Pets: Golden retriever (Jingles), Siamese Cat (Fluffy).” What would also be great on this quick reference guide, besides maybe occupation and favorite sexual fantasy, would be a 1-to-5 scale of their level of interest in certain body parts to determine if they’re into tits, ass, feet or face. Just a thought. Anything to make it easier to help heal the broken hearts or broken hard-ons of the world would be nice.

I know my post is going to or might create negative reaction but here is my take... On the one hand the guy that comes in and thinks u can be his shrink is wrong, he is also wrong if he wants to see u outside the club of think ur life is great as i have never seen more drama than dancers.
It is ur job to dance, to make him fall in love with u but at some point if the guy is a local or comes often it is ur moral duty to tell him honestly hoz u feel and how things are, some ppl are really naive, i have been one of them and my girlfriend whom i met at a strip club made me come for like a few months where i was nothing but an atm, she 'd tell me we would go out but play it off sick and so on ... In the end she called me and spent a long time with me telling me what it was: a rehearsal, everything was fake as it was her job but that was her inner beauty as u said tat made me care ... Its been 4 years now that we have been together and i never been back to a club ...
So i really do think that the dancers that toys with a man's heart just for money , with no understanding letting the guy hope well i think he is stupid and the dancer is not a good person either and she shall face it ...

I think its ok to say like my girlfriend said things like i do some modeling, i own a nice car, im single (of course :));id like to see a show and all this its part of the fantasy .. Rest to me isnt,at least that's my take ...

Good post anyways....

As far as psychology i have noticed that a lot of dancers are into numerology, psychology, my gf isas well a student in psychology at UNLV (no its not u) and i think used in a wrong way this can be a dangerous weapon as it can help the girl push the button of some guys to stay longer but it is wrong if it becomes manipulation, again thats my opinion...

XOXO

I just got back from Albuquerque attending an academic conference and spent three evenings at a nearby club talking with strippers. Yes, I feel my psychological state of mind is greatly improved, and my shrink confirmed it at our session this afternoon.
Thank you, ladies. My psyche is in much better shape, even after returning to Minnesota weather.

That's pretty funny. At the consultation for my ADD evaluation, my shrink asked me what I do for a living. I responded, "The same thing you are doing right now, except I wear a pretty dress, rhinestone choker, and charge twice as much."
