So this Saturday DH and I are going with another couple (our good friends) to a strip club. I've never been, and neither has DH, so I really have no idea what to expect, but I'm excited for the experience. Have any of you been to one before?
Also, TGIF! It's been a long week. 
Re: Going to a strip club
Rules for going to a strip club.
You don't have to get a dance by a girl you're not into. Tell them, you're waiting on another girl, or just point one out and say, "can you get her to come here." It's a business, so don't worry about hurting peoples feelings.
Watch out for the drunk dancers, these girls are the ones that get acrobatic while giving a lap dance. My wife and I went with another friend of mine and the dancer we requested did a spin move in the chair with my friend and almost took my head off with her whore heels. Just be aware of that!
Have fun, gather your cash before going to the club, Strip club ATM's are expensive, the ATM's I own at a couple clubs I've set charges @ $7.00 per withdraw. Trust me when I say this, you would not believe the transactions I've seen listed. One person took $20 out, got charged $7 for that, then 15 minutes later withdrew $40 and got another charge for $7, came back again for another $20, get's charged AGAIN, finally he took another $100! I made $28 dollars off of him in less than an hour.
Just have fun!
All of this is so true.
Except they tend to find "I am waiting on another girl" annoying as h*ll if you never do get another girl. Better to say no, unless you really are waiting on someone. Asking for a recommendation from the waitress works too. They have their favorites.
Relax and have fun.
If you smoke be sure to bring plenty of cigarettes. They are pricier in the club. That is if the place alows you to smoke there.
Pay for the dance immediately after it happens. Try not to stack or have more then two consecutive lap dances. It makes it much easier for them to rip you off. Plus to many dances in a row and one or both of you may lose count causing confusion and money problems. Don't start a dance in the middle of a song, wait until the next one. Get your monies worth.
Have fun! Try to enjoy it for what it is and know that that's all your DH is doing, too.
P.S. They usually (not that I go all the time, but I have been a few times) have really good chocolate martinis if it's a decent club.
For the ppl that read this late like me...I had my first strip club experience about a month ago.
Once the stripper found out it was my first time she took me around and showed me the place...she also though I was bi-curious as well as the other strippers. I also had a lap dance and she well...took advantage of me! I didn't know the "rules" except from what I had heard thru the years about not touching unless they want you too? Well from this the stripper told my FI that I was up-tight since I kept my hands to myself! Hey I was just trying to be respectful!
I must say I sure did gain a WHOLE new outlook on these girls. I sure couldn't do what they do and put up with the men they have to deal with. I did enjoy the views though with my FI. I can't wait to go back!
The stripper that told my FI I was uptight and gave me a lapdance also tried to tell FI and I we ripped her off $20 when we both knew for a fact what we gave her. Watch out for the ones that try to rip you off and make sure you know exactly how much money you are giving them!!
I guess I'm the crazy one to say this but I went once with an ex-boyfriend and I was SO jealous! I couldn't handle it. The ex actually went off to another booth with the guys and got lap dances while us girls were left to throw dollar bills at the other ladies. I couldn't handle it... I got so drunk and still couldn't handle it.
Being with my husband now? Oh lordy... definitely a big N-O! I'm too jelly to see my husband enjoy looking at another woman.
