This idea that you can't resist the lure of drugs is so ridiculous though. If you're prone to addiction - it's everywhere - nurses become addicts, high school kids become addicts, housewives. I never found adult work to tempt me to do substances. They aren't my thing.
The environment as a whole is going to cater to drug use far more than working in a doctors office of whatever. Yes, there are addicts everywhere...but one is more apt to use and abuse in an environment that is conducive to that...c'mon.
Agreed. Plus, the abject objectification from men can damage a person's soul. You're just a "thing" and not a person to them. That is hard on your soul. But the money is good and that makes it heard to quit... and this is where drug use tends to come into play.
Sure, there are a handful of success stories where a girl did it just for a few years to "pay for college" or whatever and moved on to better things. But the Overwhelming majority of strippers have emotional damage, either from childhood or from stripping for too long. That emotional damage leads them into or to stick with a job like stripping because they don't feel they deserve respect.
There is value... societal and personal value, in being respected. It's a slippery slope. Good Luck with your decision!3 -

I do it when I can. But this has only been a bucket list idea for college I have no intentions of doing it long term but it's something I want to try and my family is okay with it. 3. I don't want to work at hooters because I don't want to work in the food industry.
What's REALLY getting me in all this is the parents are ok with you stripping? Uh....why?1 -

If you want to do it then do it! I see no problem with it as long as you keep it professional just as you would any other job it comes with morals and guidelines you cannot cross. I know a lot of woman who have done it to pay for schooling for other even some single mothers they have now all moved on and have successful jobs.0

A "handful of success stories"???
:huh:
I wonder if your sample size might be a little skewed and not representative.
But then that's hardly your fault. It isn't like they necessarily put that on their resume after graduating.
But it is your fault that you extrapolated your obviously limited personal experience.0 -

I once put a dollar in a stripper's g-string and I think I scratched her with my nail, so you have to be careful out there.2

Why is it that the people who judge the most are often the ones who follow a religion that tells you not to judge?3 -
I have a friend that watches Criminal Minds and he says he saw an episode where a stripper was murdered. (I don't know if she was currently in college, but if she was, she will never graduate.) Dang. Do your parents watch the show at all?2

I don't think anything wrong with being a stripper,don't let anyone judge you for that if that what you wanna do.......0 -
That all depends on your worldview and where you gather your own moral standards from. If you gather your moral standards from popular opinion, television, music, and other current cultural norms; then of course the answer is going to be "no, it's not wrong" because the culture is highly sexualized today. Sex sells, and this field may or may not pay off for you just like with any job.
But if you believe that God exists, pray to Him when you need Him and want His blessings on your life, then you're absolutely right about it being wrong because this is not the lifestyle God intends for His children. If this is the case then you have an obligation to gather your moral standards from the Bible, and the Bible says that the sexually immoral have no place in God's kingdom. You cannot serve the world and God if you say you believe in Him. Now I'm not judging you. You're seeking for answers, and as a Christian, I feel the need to tell you what God expects, not as a demanding dictator but as a loving Father. I know it would break my heart to see my daughter being a stripper. I know she's meant for more than just showing off her naked body, and im sure you are too.
You know, dancers get to wear cute clothes and dance for people too. Have you considered doing that? I think it takes a lot more skill and passion to pursue dancing than something where you just shake your stuff in front of men and dive for singles.
This is just my two cents. Take it for what it's worth. I don't go to strip clubs and honestly don't understand why women do that. It's borderline protestution if you really think about it.
I hope you find the answers you're looking for.5 -

Do we seriously not have one or eleven or so strippers who could come in here and help us out? I feel like MFP has failed here. Maybe if we made it rain?3
