There's been a lot of discussion here about why guys go to strip clubs. Let me add a different point of view.
Almost anyone who knows me would describe me as a very rational, conventional, serious, solid citizen who follows all the rules. After all, I have degrees in engineering and business, spend my working years rising to a fairly high level in corporate America, have been married for over 30 years, and raised a bunch of kids who are following a similar path.
But there's another me who few people know about, an emotional, passionate, artistic, creative and adventuresome me. It's that old right brain-left brain thing. In most people one side is dominant, but in me it swings back and forth, either side can sometimes dominate. As a result I sometimes feel like I'm two different people.
The problem is that people who know me expect me to be the rational me, where I've come to believe that the real me is the emotional one and that the reational me is a mask I wear to please others. But I've gotten so used to wearing the mask that it's sometimes hard to take it off. Some of the things that often work are sports, music, and (you guessed it) strip clubs. Nudity, laps, and physical contact with a pretty young girl who I really like is guaranteed to get the emotions revving.
And that's why I go to strip clubs, so I can be the me that I sometimes want to be rather than the me that family and friends expect. I can be a different me in a relatively safe environment where nobody knows who I am. (Some people would call this, "letting my inner child out to play.") I'm guessing that some girls dance for exactly the same reason, so that for a little while they can be someone different from who others expect them to be. Anyone else ever feel this way?
