My thoughts, mostly about stripping and writing. Maybe a little bit about tattoos, politics, and octopuses, but mostly about stripping and writing.

Good Men



It’s true that working in the adult industry, you will come across far too many misogynists, but you will also find men who truly respect women and to me that is a big deal.

There have been many times out in the ‘real world’ (which we are to believe is less hostile to women than the microcosm of strip clubs) where I’ve been threatened or disrespected by a man and NO ONE has done anything. I’ve also worked in clubs where management not only let the customers do whatever they wanted, but also encouraged the girls to do whatever the customer wanted, namely extras. This is why I’m so grateful to work where I do now.

On Sunday I was doing a private dance for a customer who kept touching. The floor guy came back twice to tell him he needed to stop. Since he’d been forced to keep his hands at his side, the customer decided to use his FACE to massage my ass. Within two seconds the floor guy was back there, making him pay me and kicking him out.

“I still can’t believe he did that,” the floor guy said later as he was walking me out to my car.

I could, because I’ve seen guys do worse.

What’s harder for me to believe is that there are men out there who care about how females are treated, but luckily, I’m learning that those men do exist.
