me too, it was incredibly awkward, only one person seemed to enjoy it
and he was the office spastic, whooping and jeering at the poor cow. I just wanted to get her a jacket and a cab fare home

When we went (at the groom's insistence) to a lapdancing club on a stag do, I was one of only three of us (out of 12) not to get a private dance
I find the prospect of doing so horribly tawdry. Needless to say I took a right verbal kicking from the others for this. Most of whom had girlfriends categorised as "minging" or "nonexistant", I hasten to add.

With one exception I wouldn't have wanted them to get naked for me gratis

My mate had a stripper for a birthday years ago.
She looked like his aunt. It was hilarious.

Ouch
Due to the salacious nature of one of my best mates, should I ever have a stag do I'm absolutely sure he'll arrange for female nudity at some point, regardless of my instructions. Luckily, I'm also absolutely sure he'll road-test the goods for quality ahead of the event.

I don't understand why people spend so much money just to have somebody's genitals waved near to their face.
Some blokes go and spend hundreds.

One of the lads in our place spent £500 in one night on dances
WTF?

Surely for £500 you could do anything you want to certain ladies parts all night, rather than just watch them

Five tons on a date would see you ensonced in a relationship
which would no doubt yield a far higher ratio of face to punani.

I can have a decent weekend away for £500. Much more preferable.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 16:12, Reply)

Meh, some people would make a very solid distiction in a relationship
between a lap dance and fucking a hooker. That might be part of it. Also, people will pay £500 for things a lot less useful than a look at some tits and growler. Not really my thing but horses for courses, innit?

This one girl offered me a dance for £15 instead of the usual £20
in a very suggestive manner. I cannot fathom why I'd pay a woman less attractive than my own girlfriend to get naked for me.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 16:13, Reply)

Because you know that sooner or later your mrs will dump you and you will never even get close to being able to touch someone
even half as ugly as the hooker?

Perhaps if it was a bloke offering to strip for you things might have been different...?

It was good wasn't it.
It's funny implying that you're gay, because a lot your hobbies could be construed as "not very macho" or even "effeminate" so even though you're going out with a girl who appears to have overlooked your earlier fondness for Manic Street Preacher style spraypainted T-Shirts, it could just be that she's a beard and your a closet homosexual. Which is where the joke lies.

When in one in Munich I realised it was time to leave when I saw one of the other guys putting his credit card down.

I went on a stag do in Berlin
The lads wanted to take the groom to a lap-dancing bar but couldn't find one, so we ended up getting into a cab and asking to be taken to one. Something must have got lost in the translation because we ended up in a thinly-disguised brothel. We made our excuses and left.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 16:14, Reply)

Standard fare in Eastern Europe.
it seems to be a pretty even split between titty bars and brothels with little to distinguish the two.

we played that game in Porto a while back (get in a taxi and gamble) but the place (strip club, for clarification, not a brothel) was astoundingly high class*. And comprehensively astoundingly expensive.

*I should clarify - insofar as an establishment where you pay ladies to be naked and do stuff can ever be "high class"
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 16:18, Reply)

This was my first and only experience of a brothel
It seemed pretty tawdry to me, but I have no reference point to compare with.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 16:23, Reply)

Oh yeah. totally, the one in Porto wasn't a brothel, I should have clarified that.
I'm not sure high class brothels exist.
