10. I Also Think It's Important To Reward & Encourage Good Behavior!
... what better way to say "thank you" and "good work" and "keep it up"? Money talks! :-)

12. Indeed.
Some of those guys are doing it to pay their way through college. That wonderful kind of initiative must be rewarded. :-)

4. Not knowingly. I mean, maybe the pizza delivery guy
strips on weekends, but I would have no way of knowing that.

8. In my youth.
There was one lone lesbian bar in Greensboro way back when. Friday nights were ladies lock-up/striptease night.

Even though there was no way I could afford it, I parted ways with many, many dollar bills. :blush:

15. Never seen a stripper...
...in person. While I'm sure I'd enjoy the eye candy, the objectification is a turn-off. I won't even go to Hooters*.

Perhaps it's a matter of pride. I don't want even to appear to be the guy who falls for such a blatantly phony display. I remember that in my last Army school, I was the only guy in my squad who hadn't gone to a strip club.

*Not that hot pants and panty hose is a good look.

17. unclear
if a strange girl gave me a lap dance in a bar to settle a bet, and I gave her a buck, jokingly, does that count?

21. Erotic Dancing... Check! Currency Given... Check! --- Judges?
It's unanimous! The judges have determined that indeed your actions DO count and for the purposes of this poll, you should only choose the "Yes" option. (You just weren't enthusiastic enough to be a "Hell, Yeah!")

The stripper was a male, and we were at Chippendales for a party. :)

25. I spent way too much money on them way back in the day
Right after my ex-wife filed for divorce, I went quite a few times. It was therapeutic!

27. Yes
but only a couple of dollars per dancer and I don't do it all the time. Once in awhile if the stripper is really hot.

29. It would probably suprise you that I have
If you are ever in such an establishment, you should always tip the dancers, especially on a slower night. Depending on the club, some dancers only get money in tips (rather than a base pay) and some even have to pay to dance there. You can always just hand the dancer money or throw it on stage if you are uncomfortable with close contact.

30. I've donated plenty of money to those needy strippers...
... on the promise that they would use it to buy more conservative clothing and become upwardly mobile. Sadly, I was taken duped of every time.

Oh well, I have a forgiving heart and will continue to give them the benefit of the doubt... in increments of $1's, $5's, and $20's.

34. I've never even seen a stripper
so I couldn't tip them if I wanted to.
Here's a cartoon you might like...It's funny even if it isn't in English!

38. I was at a strip club where a business associate spent $20,000
Last fall I went to an event in Houston where several bankers/investors and lawyers (I'm a lawyer, but was not the host) concluded the signing of a business deal by going to a mens club. I tend to stay sober at events like this, to avoid doing something embarrassing. I was probably the only sober one there. At the end of the night I had to help the host figure out the bill. He purchased a great deal (like 3 grand) of monopoly money which the strippers can turn in later for real money. Not including this, the total bill for food and private "special room" dances came to over $20,000. I thought it was a huge waste of time and money.

Other than this time, I have been to a local club in recent years a few times with my wife. It loads of fun and we usually find one girl and buy a few dances from her.

40. Yes, rather than "Hell Yeah" because...
...the impossibility of, er, taking things further (that was during a business trip to the US) is extremely frustrating.

Stripper bars are virtually nonexistent in Brazil.
