There are approximately 300 lap dancing clubs in the UK. In the last three years the number of clubs has increased by 100% and is the fastest growing sector in Britain\u2019s sex industry, which has an estimated value of \u00a3300 million.<\/p>\n
A 2010 survey claimed that three of out four dancers are happy with their jobs.<\/p>\n
Feminist groups claimed that strip clubs are a seedy haven for men to ogle at girls and a barrier to achieving to gender equality.<\/p>\n
What is the truth? Who are the dancers? Are they victims of their own sexuality or cunningly earning money fast from men stupid enough to pay them?<\/p>\n
Who are the customers? Are they perverted old men seeking to enjoy the body of a girl young enough to be their granddaughter, or simply lonely men looking for a night of female company?<\/p>\n
What about the power? Who really rules the club? How much do dancers actually earn, and is the money worth the lack of clothes\u2026and dignity?<\/p>\n
This blog enables readers to see what goes on in strip clubs. Aside from the glamour, money and naked girls often lies a world of perverts, rejection and in the case of our club, rats. But above all we try to keep our heads (and chest) up, work hard, make money and have a laugh.<\/p>\n
By producing these stories of real conversations of a gentleman\u2019s club, I hope to relate to workers in strip clubs whilst informing others on what really does happens when the lights are turned down and the G strings are taken off.<\/p>\n
I hope to illustrate feelings of dancers, –\u00a0 what\u2019s going through our heads when a customer propositions us for sex, what it feels like to go home with \u00a31000 after a shift and what happens when our tampon string hangs out when dancing on the pole.<\/p>\n
You see it\u2019s not all glamorous in strip clubs (okay, sometimes it is, but that\u2019s all to come).<\/p>\n
I strip down the naked truth and bare all to you. No G Strings attached.<\/p>\n
