From Strip Clubs To Hotel Beds: The Lay Of Sex Laws

Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 15, 2009 //

You can take our dignity but not our porn! New York’s Governor Paterson is pitching new taxes to help the state’s $14 billion budget deficit. Among them: a $10 tax for strip club patrons and tax on Internet downloads for web porn. Similarly, Texas pols want to place a $5 “pole tax” which was struck down as unconstitutional by a state judge. Oh yeah, the forgotten “right to bare boobs.” Most of these skin taxes have stalled because of conflicts with the First Amendment. No porno, no peace! After the jump, other laws striving to cash in on sex… Keep reading »

Pole Dancing Robots Shake Things Up

SimchaDecember 18, 2008 //

Sci-fi guy fantasy has hit a whole new woody-popping high with robotic pole dancers. Created by Giles Walker, these dancing machines have been humping all over the United Kingdom, Spain and even at an Australian music festival. The bump and grind girls move to the beat and have been getting lots of attention while on display at a new London art gallery, muTATE, which just opened in November. While we here on The Frisky have all been debating whether or not guys going to strip clubs is considered cheating, that was sooooo 2008. In these futuristic times, now we also get to wonder if a robo exotic dancer counts. [BBC] Keep reading »

Mind Of Man: Why We Love Strippers

John DeVoreDecember 3, 2008 //

Before I reveal the secret reason men love strip clubs, I’d like to directly address all the “cool” and “open-minded” women out there who insist on accompanying their boyfriends and husbands to jiggle joints: stay home. I appreciate your enlightened attitude towards dude culture, and your bad girl enthusiasm, like when you whoop it up with a stripper, publicly dabbling in hetero-flexibility for your man. But really, you’re not declaring yourself a pansexual pioneer, proving how laid-back and awesome you are to your man’s salivating bro-dawgs. You’re keeping tabs on your boyfriend or husband and you know it.

So why is it that guys love strip clubs — even guys who totally xoxo their rock star girlfriends? There’s the obvious answer: to look at nekkid boobs that aren’t the boobs attached to the rock star girlfriends they totally xoxo. Keep reading »

Thoughts From Guys On Our IM: The “Before Marriage” Sex List

Amelia McDonell-ParryDecember 2, 2008 //

The other day, one of the Guys On My IM told me, “Guys want to bang a model, a stripper, a famous chick, and maybe a flight attendant before getting hitched.” I’ve heard such sentiments before, though not from any guy I truly respected (I actually respect this particular guy, despite his pre-marriage hump list). Given how many guys go to strip clubs and get all google-y eyed for Gisele Bundchen, couldn’t this general statement apply not only to the men I know and love, but also most guys, period? I decided to ask the rest of the Guys On My IM for their opinions — and while it turns out that none of them have a strong desire to schtup a pole dancer, they all do have SOME sort of ideal bedpost notch list….

Frisky Workouts: My New Found Respect For Strippers

Annika HarrisNovember 24, 2008 //

I used to think strippers had it easy. They show up for work in the evening, shake their asses for a few hours, make their rent and grocery money in one shift, leave the club for the night, sleep through the morning, go shopping before work and then start the whole cycle all over again. I thought that as long as you had some rhythm while wearing five-inch heels, were reasonably flexible and had few inhibitions, you had it made as a stripper. You’d be rolling around in dough on Egyptian cotton sheets in no time. I was really wrong and it only took me 10 minutes to figure out that strippers WORK for all their money. More after the jump.

Fertility And The Affections Of Men

Catherine StrawnOctober 4, 2008 //

Deborah Anderson and her colleagues, who looked at Coca-Cola as a spermicide, weren’t the only ones awarded an Ig Nobel Prize by the Annals of Improbably Research magazine. Geoffrey Miller, an associate professor of psychology at the University of New Mexico received an Ig Nobel for his work studying female fertility. He and his colleagues studied the earnings of 18 exotic dancers and learned that the women’s earnings increased by at least $100 per five-hour shift when the women were their most fertile. “I have heard, anecdotally, that some lap dancers have scheduled shifts based on this research,” Miller said. We’re thinking that if strippers, er…exotic dancers saw this much of a difference in male “affection” based on their fertility, we should really only go on dates when we’re in our “fertile window.” Only that would also mean that if things went well on said dates, we’d also have the greatest chance of getting pregnant during that time. I guess a girl can’t have everything. [LiveScience] Keep reading »

What Strippers Should Tell Their Parents

Catherine StrawnJune 16, 2008 //

The Pussycats Private Adult Entertainment business in Albany, NY, has closed after being evicted from its space in a mini-strip mall. Apparently, on the portion of the lease where the leasee states what operations will take place on the property, the Pussycats’ owner wrote “in-store modeling for clients.” And actually, when you think about it, that’s what stripping is: women modeling clothes, however tiny, for whatever client happens to be seated in front of them.

Frisky Quote Of The Day: Mel B (Scary Spice)

Catherine StrawnMay 21, 2008 //

“If there was an Olympic sport for anything, I’d win gold for sex! Me and Stephen have a pretty hot sex life and I admit I look I look quite good in my underwear or bikini.” — Spice Girl Mel B (aka Scary), who recently treated her husband to six strippers for his 33rd birthday [AHN] Keep reading »

Just ‘Cause She Dances Go-Go…

Catherine StrawnApril 14, 2008 //

I’ve always been a little curious about what being a stripper, I mean dancer, involves, exactly. If you’re at all interested, you should read Ruth Fowler’s account of how she came to New York from the U.K. and began stripping because she wasn’t making enough to survive as a waitress (plus she was in the States illegally and didn’t have many options, job-wise). She wore clear plastic heals, learned that dancers love their dogs, and even dated a guy she met at work — it didn’t work out, though. He didn’t want her to take off her intense stage makeup.

Exotic Dancers In The Afterlife

Catherine StrawnMarch 27, 2008 //

Cai Jinlai, a man who loved strip clubs, was promised an exotic dancer for his funeral if made it to the age of 100. That must have been pretty good motivation to keep on living because Jinlai died at 103. His son (one of Jinlai’s 100 descendants) fulfilled his father’s wish by paying about $170 for a 10-minute performance around the coffin. Jinlai must have enjoyed the show from up in heaven.
