    Default The Golden age for strippers

    I was thinking about so called golden eras. Greece and Rome had one. Hollywood was a force of nature during the so-called Golden age of the 1930's and '40's. I personally think that the golden age for stripping was during the Clinton era before 9-11. Maybe I wasn't old enough to have played the game, but damn I had some good fucking courtside seats. Back then, there was debauchery galore in the White house, the dotcom industry hadn't gone to shit and life was so damn simple.... well simpler than it is now anyways. Any thoughts or memories from our veterans?

    Wasn't this time the 80's with the Wall Street boom, before internet porn, and people were scared shitless by AIDS?

    Personally, for me it was it was the 90’s. Before the internet, and email. When travelling on business, entreating clients or going to a strip club was more acceptable. Now it is less accepted, and there is always ‘work that can be done’ or an email that needs to be answered…

    Agreed. When I first started the internet wasn't that big so the clubs were kind of a shock thing. Many clubs were becoming upscale and were nice. I often made 300+ a night doing bikini no touch air dances at $5 a song. I remember getting upset walking out with $100 a few nights. If I didn't like a club's tipout or the rules I could go to another club a few miles away. I switched to a topless with pasties club because I was making even more. I didn't have to do extras to make that kind of money. At a few clubs "extras" were the girls who allowed a man to touch her legs. Things have changed.

    Personally I think the 50's-60's was also a glorious time for the art of striptease. I think the strippers then could actually dance and perform.

    People have different connotations of when the golden age was, but most conclude it started sometime after 1985, and most certainly ended by 2001.

    It was a combination of a stock market boom, the country leaning towards the right in the 80s, the AIDS scare, and a push by the industry to make their facilities more presentable to a mainstream audience that brought the good times on. Those stories you heard of girls making earnings that seem to only come once in awhile by today's standards? And giving only minimal to any contact to make it? Yes, they were true for the most part.

    Similarly it was a combination of things that caused it to end. AIDS lost its scare value. The titillation that you used to only be able to find in a strip club started appearing in mainstream venues like cable TV and the internet. Civilian women loosened their own boundaries. Like any product that becomes successful, strip clubs grew in number until the market was over saturated. Civic leaders, noticing this "alarming" trend spread began to pass laws to prevent new SOB's from opening, and to curtail activities at existing ones, sometimes backing up the laws with sporadic enforcement. When dancer earnings started thinning out, some decided to up the ante (err mileage). Then when the dot com bubble burst, everything going wrong exacerbated.

    To be truthful though, strip clubs are not the first entity to have their existence threatened by changing technology, trends, or politics. In the sixties, key club places like the Playboy clubs flourished, by 1970, they were passe. Discotheques were the new hotspots. By 1980, that scene had become hokey, and those clubs had run their course. In the 80's, people flocked to comedy clubs for entertainment. But as cable TV flourished and home video became more available, people began to stay home to watch their comedy. By the 1990's, they too were in decline. And then strip clubs took over from there.

    Perhaps its the upscale bars that have owned this decade. I'm anxious to see what will replace them.
