    You have to make that list for yourself, sweetie. No one can do it for you.

    There are obvious pro's: Lots of money, relatively few hours. Obvious cons: could hurt your reputation. But the rest you have to figure out for yourself. Your priorities, goals, and ethics will be the basis of what you are and aren't okay with.

    Since you've been taking lessons for some time, I have to assume that you are pretty serious about at least giving stripping a try.

    Sometimes when you take the leap you find out pretty quick if you can handle it... or not.

    Either way, it's on you. Best of luck.

    I think a couple of the biggest cons I've experienced is when guys have violated me during dances (that can really make you feel dirty) and giving away so much of my sexuality at work that I have a hard time coming home and giving myself to my own husband.

    Pros, obviously you have control over your schedule (mostly), high potential for great money. Sometimes though you leave in the red when you don't make the cash.

    Up to you. You may audition and find you hate it. You may work for a week, and love it.

    The emotional aspects are yours only. What the rest of us feel doesn't mean you'll feel like any one of us once you get started.

    Cool. Diving right in is a great idea. My only regret about stripping is that I didn't start on my 18th birthday.

    Good luck.

    Hi Cami.

    I'm basically in the same position as you right now. I know I can do it, and I've been debating over it for years now. I'm just going to fucking do it already. Dive right in. Screw it, if it doesn't work out, it's another thing off my bucket list.

    What's basically been stopping me is that this would be HIGHLY frowned upon by my family. But honestly, it's not fair. It's none of their business. I'm a 26, almost 27 year old WOMAN now. I'm entitled to an adult, private life,and I figure dancing can be a part of that if I want.

    BTW if thats you in your avatar your gorgeous. You'll make much riches.

    Good luck. My best advice is to go hang out in the club and see what goes on in your area, after that try it for a day if you liked what you saw. When you leave with a wad of cash in your hand... your reservations might just go out the window.

    I know how you feel. I had to try it to get it out of my system. I enjoy the shifts I work , but I still hesitate to get too far " into it " because I do hide it from most people that I know ( which is just a handful of close friends and my family ... my social network isn't that huge ).

    I just figured ... for some reason .... I had to have this experience. Just like I wouldn't take about anything adult related around my family ( and we don't ! ) , dancing definitely falls into that " adult content " catergory that as family members we don't share with each other . But .... I still feel guilty . The guilt is part of whats holds me back from getting good at dancing ( good as in making what I thought dancer money should look like by working more, getting more regulars, ect. ) . So anyway .... the was probably a longer explanation that you needed, but I do know what you are going through !

    Con- dancing in your home town. It may make you uncomfortable to run into people you know when you make your dancing debut!

    Pro- $$$$

    Con- dealing with sloppy drunks

    Pro- meeting some interesting people

    Con- the self esteem lows when men get rude- which will happen now matter how sweet and hot you are

    Pro- the self esteem boosters when they give you tons of attention and $$

    Con- nightclub hours. This will make you feel like a vampire sometimes!

    Pro- making your own hours and being your own boss!



    Just a few I thought I would throw out there.

    I'm not sure making a list will help much. This job is sort of a first hand experience thing. I say give it a shot. You'll know pretty quickly if it's for you or not.
