Check out this "Stripper Study", interesting to say the least
I was browsing the web when I came across this "study" about stripping. While I have mixed reviews about, it has some interesting information pertaining to how women are recruited, the shit strippers have to put up with, etc. I thought you ladies should check it out, it's http://www.uri.edu/artsci/wms/hughes/stripc1.htm
Also, it listed the types of "dances", from table, couch, bed, but it said something about "wall dancing", where a customer's back is against a wall, the dancer grings against him with one leg in the air and she gives him an alcohol towlette to clean his hands before he fingers her:eek:
Now, I don't know where this researcher got this information from, but I have NEVER heard of such. Anyone familiar with this (and for Gods sake, I hope not)?

Wall dances do exist, I know there are places that offer it. Never done it myself. Ick.

Oh, no question. It's crap, and what's worse, it's biased crap that people will take as indicative of the entire industry.

so I take it mirabella you've heard of this woman before?
I was taken aback to see that she only studied one race (Caucasions) for her study.
WTF does that say?
Weird............

Re: Check out this "Stripper Study", interesting to say the least
Haha. Is this that ridiculous survey where the strippers she interviewed told her they have had dead animals thrown at them on stage?

That is the most retarded thing I have ever read. I can't believe I wasted 5 minutes reading it.

"Lap dancing requires the woman to straddle the man’s lap and grind against him until he ejaculates in his pants"
Umm...? Guess THAT dancer isn't looking to sell multiples!

I have the urge to send her hate e-mail, but I'll control myself.

We had a thread on this very study not too long ago. I can't remember what it was called though. Maybe if you do a search for the link you'll find it.
What's weird is this part from the introduction:
"The research was inspired by the author’s experiences in stripping over the course of thirteen years. "
Does that mean she was a dancer? Or what?
As for speaking to Caucasians only, it's pretty common in any sort of research to hold certain variables steady, just to avoid factors that will make your statistical analyses more complex. I don't think it means anything beyond that. Presumably, white women and women of color have somewhat different experiences of the sex industry in our race-conscious society. Many posts on this site support that assumption. So I do think that it's an important variable to consider in any study of the industry. A lot of the time it's just logistics that determine what factors you can look at in any given study.
Not that I'm really defending her or her research methods. If I recall, they were not very sound, and her conclusions were highly suspect.

Re: Check out this "Stripper Study", interesting to say the least
nearly every single article on stripping i have every read ALLWAYYYYSS defines a lapdance as doing something to the customer "until he ejaculates in his pants".
EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE.
where the hell do these people get their information!!??!
(luckily) i have NEVER had a customer cum in his pants during a dance (that i was aware).
i grind on crotches until the end of the song, not until they ejaculate.
OMG IS THAT SO HARD TO COMPREHEND?!?!

Reminds me of a study done on Navajo religious beliefs. The researcher hired four oilfield whores, put them up in a motel for months, paid their bills, bought them food and clothing, and interviewed them. Three Navajos, one Hopi. They were making more by making up stories for her than they would have at their regular jobs. Many of the stories they made up are now enshrined as authoritative in highly regarded books.
I suspect the women interviewed for this study told the researcher what she wanted to hear, and the women in the focus group validated it.
People will believe it because they want to believe it, not because it's true. Or maybe a better word would be "representative."

What a complete pile of horse shit! If I were from another planet and had no idea what a stripper was, I might infer from this article that strippers are downtrodden and humiliated prostitutes (with pimps of course) who are drug addicted and completely stupid.
I know I shouldn't even be doing this literary train wreck any justice by responding, but WOW I could pick apart every sentence in it and if I had the time and money to prove her wrong, I so could. Easily.
The one that gets me the most is this (when referring to table dances): "The woman’s breasts and genitals are eye level to the customer."
Ummm...how is that even possible? Unless your tits hang down to your crotch, I don't see how.

So they're not as perky as they used to be! Don't judge me!

Perpetuate the lie so that fewer women enter the industry! I'm sick of having too many dancer per night.
Anyway, children are starving and that woman needs to do something better with her time.

I've read that study before. It always make me chuckle. It's part truth, but mostly useful. I like the part about the dressing rooms...I've used some pretty gnarly dressing rooms in my time, but I can honestly say I've changed in a beer cooler.

Sociology = Stereotyping 101. It's biased and skewed, just like any other "study" on stripping. I imagine conditions change so much from club to club that it's impossible to pin down any concrete notions.

Re: Check out this "Stripper Study", interesting to say the least
Oh, ye gads. We've seen this "study" a thousand times. It looks like a "practice" research project for a first year; and that is probably what it is. For that, it is actually pretty good.
Can we have a sticky saying that the one, single, universally agreed upon stripperweb truth - the one thing that unites us all - is that the study is stupid and inaccurate?
That said, my favourite part is the part with the rodents being chucked on the stage.

Re: Check out this "Stripper Study", interesting to say the least
What a biased, steaming pile of shit! Let's see, it was published... nowhere. Oh wait, she posted it herself on the internet. What does that tell you? =crap.
