    Following a friend of mine's post on this Magic Mike film, I got to thinking (no, I really have nothing better to be doing). What is the difference between a male and a female stripper? (yes smartarse, I know one has a penis and the other doesn't) but more in terms of society......is it more ok for a male to be a stripper? Is it less "seedy"? Are men more happy with a lifestyle choice like that?

    So: Is society more accepting of male strippers? Discuss.

    You're getting all philosophic here!

    I think there is less stigma on male strippers than female more because a novelty thing when it's men.

    Personally, I'm not attracted to that kind of thing at all. And having had friends who were female strippers, I don't judge them, either. I do know they all had to take drugs just to get on the stage, though, which is awful and sad, so I'd never encourage it as a profession.

    Sweeping statement alert!

    I think the difference is down to the attitude of audience. Men go to get turned on, women go to have a laugh with their friends. And here in the UK the male strippers don't tend to get their willys out. Against the law you know.:laugh:


    exactly and here in the US, for the most part, also whipping "it" out is not allowed, lol. Definitely fun for a good laugh with girlfriends.

    Ok I will fully admit it, I saw Thunder From Down Under when I went to Vegas. It was a birthday gift and here's my opinion. When you go to see women strip, they DO things and crawl all over the guys naked and stuff and if they notice a guy is getting turned on they practically rub themselves all over him. Plus "private" dances and stuff...ewww. So I'm not thrilled with them at all.

    Now when I saw the male strippers one, they did not go fully nude. Most I saw was a naked butt, which somehow ended up in front of my LOL. And that was amazingly fine by me that it was all I saw as I was like omg please tell me they don't take off all of their clothes. But there was no "private" dances, no rubbing, no nothing. It was a bunch of guys dancing to songs in their thongs.

    So to me male stripping isn't that bad. It's more fun, not much you have to worry about. Granted I know there are male strippers out there that go all the way with everything, but I don't know when I hear someone say hey I got the girls together and saw some male strippers I'm ok with it, but when guys go hey let's go to the strip club its like O.o....no. I guess because you hear more about how the females are arrested for prostitution and drugs and shootings at those clubs, where with the male strippers you don't.

    I've been to a male strip show...something similar to Thunder From Down Under...I had buff, sexy, damn near naked guys sit on my lap...lay on me and drag me up on stage to be flung about.

    I hope they come back to Reno soon :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    AMEN TO THAT!

    I think this is a large part of it. I have a huge respect for strippers of both sexes. It's not exactly the ideal job...

    ^this

    Personally, I don't have a problem with strippers. It's their occupation and it's an easy way to make a lot of money. Obviously there is a market for it and it's pretty great entertainment (male or female). Would I ever date one, absolutely not...solely my own preference.

    Today's heat has me more hot and bothered than a lonely housewife reading Fifty Shades of Gray at a Magic Mike screening.

    I have known several of both sexes.
    None were living well, and their lives off stage were pathetic. There were drugs, disease, broken relationships, neglected kids and suicide.
    Much of what seems nice to the eyes gets ugly fast up close.
