    I am a very jealous wife, who'd NEVER let her man go to a gentleman's club! I know most clubs have a 'no-touching' rule, but for me it's more I fear what's happening inside his head! I don't want him to be thinking like that about other chicks!!

    *I'm a former dancer, at said Gentleman's club, and I know first-hand how skeezy those guys can be... When the cat's away, the mice WILL play.... Atleast Magic Mike is just a movie! Not someone your wife could actually talk to, or try to have a connection to....!!

    I like your response...My question then is, Aren't those same things going through your head. Sure Channing and Matthew are "untouchable" but the thoughts still occurred. right?

    No, actually. There is no actual teptation because there is no POSSIBILITY of gratification. Actions > thoughts ... come on now, you seem to be ignoring anybody who isn't saying what you want to hear. Troll harder ;p

    To quote Chris Rock "There is not sex in the Champagne Room" :)

    hahahaha!

    I can see your point MD, but also, there's no chance of getting a lap dance watching Magic Mike where there would be at a club. Even though I enjoyed the movie, I'm not into going to places like that, but I would imagine having a live person in your face is a much different experience for someone who is into it, than watching a movie, whether touching is allowed or not. And there are always lawbreakers out there. Not saying you are one, just sayin' they're out there. Channing will never go home with me after the movie, but a "live" one might. I know this to be true. I also agree with what Sarah said about the dollar bills.

    sorry dude, it's the difference between watching porn in your livingroom and watching 2 people f@ck in your livingroom :) Nice try tho, good luck w/ your argument bro.

    Was that directed at me? I wasn't making an argument simply commenting that you need to be a bit more specific than 'well in the strip club the stuff actually happens' because the stuff in videos also actually happens. They don't photoshop or CGI it in.

    No, aimed at MassiveDelta - just running w/ the analogy :)

    Guys at strip-clubs tend to get drink, get flirty and obnoxiously bold in their attempts.....
    You have nothing to feel bad about with your woman seeing Magic Mike....

    Firm believer in....


    It doesn't matter where you work your appetite up, as long as you eat at home.

    Let the fur fly!

    However a little part of me will say....that it's nice to know my guy is thinking of me while we are "Cleaning the Fish Tank" rather than the lady he saw an hour ago walking down the street. :wink:

    It's completely different.

    I can't stuff dollars down Matthew Mcconaughey's shorts.

    I have no issues with my husband going to a strip club, mainly because I go with him (we were just at one on Thursday). I enjoy it. He enjoys it. He's not trying to make a "connection" with the girls and actually laughs at the guys who buy them drinks, drop $20's down for a $2 dance etc.

    As far as the movie goes I'd never ask my husband to go to it. He has zero interest in watching male strippers, which is a good thing.:laugh:

    I LOVE the guys who go to the club with their girl, and that he makes her feel secure enough with herself not to worry about the flesh dancing all around.... but it's more guys who pay 50+ bucks to buy you a steak dinner, or a bottle of champagne, but haven't had a nice date with their wife in forever.... Guys behave diffent with the neon-strobe lights and g-strings than they do around their wives in daylight.... awoman watching a movie just DOES NOT EQUATE!!!

    Depending on the person and their partner, either activity could be problematic.

    I'm going to Vegas this weekend for a bachelor party. I'm going to get dances, I'm going to get drunk and rowdy, I'm likely going to flirt, but I'm not going to cheat. I love my wife, she trusts me, and we've already talked it over and laid out ground rules.

    Discussing what is and isn't ok with your partner ahead of time is the key (and maybe reconsidering the relationship if those ground rules are too constricting).

    Do I think they're the same thing? No. But I've also seen chicks claim that watching porn is tantamount to cheating, or if you've seen Knocked Up apparently fantasy baseball and going to see Spiderman 3 alone is even worse than cheating.

    It's your mouth...use it. No not that way you damn perverts.

    I love how women make sweeping generalizations about men to prove their point. [/ironic_comment]

    Im not trolling I guess I just dont see them as a temptation. There is ZERO interest in a professional dancer but I guess that's just me.

    No matter how hot you are when you go see Magic Mike, none of the actors know you are there and arent performing for you. When I go to strip club, they can see my face and its back and forth even without the touching, and hey, if you're hot enough, sometimes they come talk to you after their shift is over, especially the morning shift girls, who are some of the nicest, sweetest- most intelligent girls Ive ever encountered there.

    in other words, strip club > strip movie

    LET him go to a gentlemans' club? if the man wants to go i'm sure he's going to go.... and as far as the money hungry chicks..there are some nasty guys in there feeding them...

    PLUS there's some skanky chicks in those clubs, who LOVE being skanky... Magic Mike is nowhere near as threatening as a money-hungry chick could be!!!!

    It really did. I enjoyed the movie. I enjoyed ALL aspects of the movie.

    He can put $1's in a girl's thong & I can't put them in Channing Tatum's! The injustice of that makes me die a little inside...

    I really wanted to have something to say in this thread, but I don't think I have a point to make or argue with. That said, I could use a few singles right now. Maybe I should set up a paypal account on MFP.

    It's the same. Maybe the person who posted has never set foot in a gentleman's club. I don't know why so many women feel threatened by it. I don't like my hubby to go without me, but its only because I want to go too. LOL

    i find it heartbreaking that either of you would want to put $1's in anyone else's thongs but each others. That's the injustice.

    Any ladies here ever been to that kind of show or a ladies lockup? The strippers will touch you. They will let you touch them. They pick women up off the floor. They put it right in your face. It's graphic.
    Now are you going to let you wife go to that?

    Eta: I don't like the craziness of the women with male strippers. You would think these women have never been allowed in public before. But personally I don't care either way if my man goes to the nudie bar. I will even go with him. It's easier for him to pick up women at a bar than a strip club.

    The boys in the movie are probably more attractive than the gals in a strip club. They are actors after all.

    And I've totally been to a strip club with the husband before. Fun times.

    Rent Showgirls and call it even. Though you might get nauseous from the horribleness.
