This is actually a more interesting discussion than I was expecting on Tumblr.

I’ve been to a strip club once to see what it was like when I was 18 or 19. It was not really fun. I don’t enjoy social interaction normally, so paying for it seems even worse to me.

Luckily the club was very not busy so one of the women sat down with us at our table and talked with us for an hour. (Yes, I did tip her.) She was a student at UF. I told an older female friend later on that I’d gone and what had happened and she said, “That was me 15 years ago.” She’d put herself through the very same school partially with sex work.

About the club, I don’t expect I’d enjoy it any more now. Probably less. I am more curmudgeonly and anti-social than I was then, though more socially capable.

And as expected even though it wasn’t very busy, there were a lot of creepy and rude men in there (which is why I suspect that woman spent so much time at our table).

Not my scene at all.
