    I don't think there is ANY state where it's legal to offer "masturbation shows" or "GFE" shows in a stripclub. That's illegal through and through.

    OOOOoooh... I like that! Thanks!

    LOL, THEY CAN!

    A strip club is not a public place. It's a privately owned establishment
    Anyone with cover can come in, making it public. It is not a private membership only club where you have to sign a contract when entering, that you agree to the terms and conditions of the club is it? no..it's a public place.

    Thanks CK. That is exactly what i was looking for.

    Nope it's a public place regardless. I was arrested in OK, for lightly spanking a girl customer who came to my tip rail. I got charged with public lewdness and the customer did too(the police officer said we were simulating sexual activiy ...again that could be anything in a strip club). So sorry if i am getting too defensive, but i don't condone advising things that will definately put girls at risk for charges. They absolutely CAN arrest you for the things you mentioned and I personally think the chances are pretty high since i obviously speak from experience.

    I agree back to the topic at hand! My whole point was just that you can make up different TYPES of shows to charge more for them. (as long as what you do within them is legal!)

    i JUST posted at the top of the forum about all the bickering. please everyone read my announcement at the top of the forum

    i know nothing about Hawaii but i have danced a long time and have worked in quite a few different states. i WOULD NOT tell anyone to sell a toy show or GFE show in the continental US.

    i'm getting very tired of this please stop.

    i'm opening this back up by request.

    i respectfully ask that princess paris and CK not go back and forth about legal issues in Hawaii. the OP is in CANADA.

    i told guys 'it is x per dance, and x$ if you just want to hang out, since some guys like to do that back here'. that worked a lot in an environment where there was no real upsell. i had 10-15 minute 'just talking' prices, and 20-30 minute prices and hour prices. 100 for 10 minutes was a pretty typical just talking sell, with occasional renewal. other guys wanted longer, and that was 150-200 for 20-30 mins, 300-400 for an hour.

    i counted changes in music to measure time. 1 minute transition=a song. 7 minute song with shift in second part= 2 songs. the clock was always running when i was getting paid by the song. and i was pretty liberated about what constituted a song. and if they said 'it doesn't feel like much time has passed', i was like 'see how awesome i am?! time just flies with me!' and that created some repeat business.

    i worked in a byob environment, so 'buying drinks' would have been pretty useless as an upsell technique.

    ^ I agree!

    Oh yeah... also, at my club if we want to skip a stage set we have to fork over $20 to the DJ each time. Guess I have to include that in the price as well and make sure the DJ knows that I won't be going on stage for an hour. Hopefully, I can get him to cooperate.

    ^LOL. Yep. It sucks. I would probably never go on stage if we only had to pay $20-$30 for the whole night.

    I sold a half hour for $200 today. I basically asked him a bunch of questions while selling him to get in his head, and I learned he was from a city that offers VIPs, but he didn't do them usually, because he thought they were too expensive. Anyway, I told him how the club probably took a percentage and blah blah, but it's great he decided to drop in my club, because I could do a VIP without charging him the clubs cut and blah blah, so he loved it and tipped me another $60. So anyway, I'm glad I thought to ask, he may have still bought a bunch of dances, but I love doing the "VIP" thing, because it sort of allows me to be a little lazier, like I sat and flirted and talked a bunch. He liked it, but i would have wanted to keep moving if we were going by the dance.

    That's awesome Holiday! I'm also curious, did you do these on floor, or in dance room?

    Love it!

    No, I do them in our "VIP" $20 dance area. It's not too shabby, so that helps.

    I'd say I sell an hour or a half an hour about once every 5 shifts. I'm going to try to work on it more.

    That's awesome, thanks holiday!

    That is what I don't like about trying to invent this upsell is that there is no new location. I can't advertise "more intimate" or "more private" or anything really. The most I have is "we can relax and we don't have to count songs." and of course, it's cheaper.

    Ya, you could also tell them you get off of stage rotation. Even if you'd be off it anyway, you could make that up. I don't know, not a big reason, but I know what you mean, in clubs like ours, every little bit helps right?

    No way to do that in my club but it's not a big deal since I'm usually up only once per night.
