Most of us work 8-12 hours non-stop for less money.Look, if it doesn't matter, vis a vis setting the price, how much a stripper makes or expends, why does it matter what YOU make or expend? Price isn't set or adjusted on the basis of what a given customer makes any more than it's adjusted for what a stripper wants to make. If I go to work where the dances are $20 a pop, it's because I believe after my personal job-related expenses and house fees/cuts and tip-out and taxes (yes, I did pay them) are paid, the net pay is worth the amount of work expended. If the price is adjusted downward by the club and I don't think it's worth it anymore, I quit. The club's losing money by cutting the price because its percentage from cheaper dances won't yield as much, and it's losing a house fee if dancers quit as a result of it. And probably attracting a lower income demographic (there, is that better than saying lower class?) which will be more difficult to get money from. On the other hand, if the price is too high for the customer, I understand that he checks out. And I understand if too much checking out happens, change needs to occur to continue in business. I simply don't think permanent lower prices are the change that will be prominent.

You're speculating there will be an adequate supply of strippers of the quality you expect who will work if there's a lower price. I speculate the opposite. I think a lot of women at that permanent price point will either go do interactive Internet porn or start doing private "party" (stripper or hooker) arrangements or pursue jobs outside the sex industry. The ones who remain in the club will either be desperate druggies in low-end clubs or the young party types who are there because it's cool to be a strippah and they'll party only with the clique they like (in a club that's basically just another bar only with a strip club motif). Many of these changes are already happening and it'll only accelerate if the current prices fall.

They are not laid off because they are not technically employees, but they cease showing up when it is no longer worth it to them to go in. But you are right, they make the call. The clubs will essentially let in any girl with a pulse and the house fee. If it cost the club anything to have the girls there, you can bet there'd be layoffs in slow times.

Just as an FYI, I have seen clubs tell girls not to come in. This happened to a then favorite of mine. She was a gorgeous blonde with big fake headlights. Other clubs only let girls work after a they have been vetted at other clubs. Having said that, I do agree that the vast majority of clubs will typically let a girl work if she can pay the club fee.

If I felt a bond with a customer, I wouldn't see him at the club anymore. As to the whole "bartering" thing, Once I set a price, you either take it, or quit wasting my fucking time! When a guy offers me less money, I make a mental note to stay clear from him. That's disrespectful, tacky, and I won't put up with it. You may have a big head, but my ego can crush any man.

The question was " does the guy feel a bond?". I think most girls aim for getting a guy to feel that to encourage repeat business. I'm not saying there is anything devious going on in doing that . It just makes good business sense.

I think when the girl feels the bond, its a whole different story. I have developed friendships over the years with a number of girls and some will not dance for me any longer. Others will perform a very lackluster dance when they need to, and a few have asked me not to be there when they are working. So I do agree with your point.

hey steve (and everyone else - but your post just stuck out)

Why is it that with everything else prices go up. Minimum wage goes up, pay goes up, bonuses, raises, etc etc.

Yet with dancers its gone down down down and everyone thinks it should go down more. I mean, ok, I get it but really.. its ridiculous that we should take less when everyone wants more....

I do feel your pain. You are in a very tough profession, and I would not be able to do successfully.

My post was directed to something else: the sales price of a good or service is determined by the market, not by the cost of the good or service.

But the vast majority of people, as well as most business people, do not appreciate this concept, and they think that the price should simply be set at cost plus.

But I am not a TV or an iPod. Or am I? Hmmmm. I always thought I was a person providing a service.


Yes, you are a person, but the type of service that you are providing is a LUXURY service. Being in the luxury service is great for sellers in good times, when a lot of money is chasing fewer goods, but when times are tough, it sucks.
