    Question What affect has dancing had on you?

    I'm curious to know how dancing has affected some of you girls.

    I was seriously considering dancing, then my therapist mentioned how screwed up people get by working in strip clubs. And I thought to myself that the majority of the girls on here seem pretty normal, like they have their acts together- pretty much problem free.

    Which, I know all is not as it seems.

    So how has dancing affected you? Your relationships? Your views of the wold? Your life, in general?

    I'm asking because I want to know whether it's possible to dance, make good money, be drug free, and come out of the stripping industry without mental issues and your head held high. A little idealistic, I know...

    I'll be moving and going off to college in a different state here in about 4.5 months, and possibly dancing in the mean time, and possibly dancing in college. But I'm not sure. And I don't want to do it if I don't know if I can be "okay" in doing so...

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. =)

    I think it depends on any pre-existing issues you may have? Luckily for me I don't really have any so other than worrying about my income not being stable and getting the bills paid all I have noticed is that when I get bills or see prices I count things in LDs lol ie 60 gas bill = 3 LD gas bill lol

    Its made me appreciate the value of money more too and face up to my financial commitments.

    For me, it had more positive effects than negative.

    I learned a LOT about humanity and people in general, like I treated it almost like anthropological research or something lol. Because of stripping, I feel like I can carry a conversation with ANYONE. My social skills, especially when dealing with total strangers, are highly developed now. I also feel no reservations when dealing with the public. Before stripping, I used to feel anxiety in new situations and dealing with new people, but now I have no fear. I'm much more confident and self-assured. I recognize the power I have as a woman. I am comfortable with my body and learned to appreciate many different body types as being equally beautiful. I feel even more courageous in general because I decided to walk into the extremely frightening experience of "trying stripping" and actually going through with it. I made enough money to travel around Europe, and I'm sure that travel time had the positive effect of broadening my horizons and all that jazz....I think that what you DO with the money you make is just as important as the actual time you spend in the clubs. If I hadn't done something great with all the money, and just wasted it away, then I might feel differently about stripping's "effects" on me.

    I can also rest assured that if I am ever in a tight financial spot, I can strip for a night and be okay. I like knowing that in the back of my mind.

    The ONLY negative thing is that it's the EASIEST way to make loads of money quickly. What I mean is I've had trouble adjusting to normal jobs that require more work & less pay. It's really difficult to settle for a normal job after you've been spoiled by stripper money

    It has effected me quite a bit-I used to be trusting of men and people, pretty good with $$, and less concerned about appearence.

    I have had to revamp some attitudes since leaving stripping. First, I had be more conservative with my money-I can no longer strip for a night or two and make $$ back. Second, I had to learn how to dress more conservatively again and lessen my makeup. That may seem pretty basic, but it took a whole summer for me to relearn! Pretty crazy...

    My attitude towards men will never change, I don't think... I believe I will never fully trust men again like I did.

    I used to see dancing as this positive "beacon of light", right now I see it as a damp dark corner. I'm sure it's because I'm not making any money right now so I am focusing on the negative (but trying really hard to turn it around).

    I do have sexual issues but I think that's from doing porn not from dancing. I feel like the last guy I was with made me want to vomit half the time.

    I don't have "guilt" issues because working as a dancer (or hell even a call girl) is not very tabboo where I live.

    No serious mental or emotional changes to note. I only did 2 years, though. I am not sure if time spent in the biz has anything to do with it.

    A few minor changes occured:

    I hate top 40 r&b/hip hop even more then I did before. That's alot.

    I am even less patient with stupid people than I was before. Now that's really alot.

    I stopped drinking hard liquor. Like, completely. It's been months since I last ingested anything but a few beers or wine. Due to all the mass amounts of vodka and shots of Jager I had to do in order to gets my wits up for being in the club, I don't think I will EVER be able to drink hard stuff again. I can't even smell it without wanting to puke.

    I like that, it's a good thing for me.

    I agree with the rest of the girls. I think you only really get "screwed up" if you're not already grounded. Girls who don't have a strong support network of friends, family etc or have no other option than stripping can get themselves into trouble. Anywhere I have worked this is a small percentage.

    For me it's had many positive results but on the negative side.. I tend to be more selfish because I'm used to being the centre of attention. I flirt too much with men in general now (its like I can't switch it off). I tend to do things I wouldn't have done in the past just for $$$, especially in the current economy. Nothing illegal or anything but just allowing customers to talk dirty or promising things I know I won't deliver... I'm not happy about that but it was all I could do to get more out of them.

    I danced AFTER I finished my bachelors degree. I would say that "I" probably would have dealt with stripping less effectively had I danced during college if the money was as good as it was when I started dancing outside of my college town.

    My university was/is one of the top party schools as it was and so if I were to have added $4-500/night earnings in the mix, I can only imagine that I may have ended up a wild child. I was wild enough in college but still able to pull a 3.0+ most semesters but it would've been challenging for me to maintain decent gpa with that kind of money rolling in.

    Having finished my bachelors degree, I was able to use the next year to save my dancer earnings to help cushion my grad student life abroad for the following year. The thing is, I completed my Masters degree three years ago but have yet to hang up my heels!

    If you're passionate about a certain field, just remember to keep an eye out for internships to balance out your dancing schedule so that you can translate that into a non-dancing career for later on, is all I'd have to add, I suppose!

    Angry Re: What affect has dancing had on you?

    I am sorry and I am speaking for myself here but i find some parts of your post offensive at wost and ignorent and best. You are asking us if it possiable to come out of the industry not screwed up and drug free. Yes it is ive never gotten myself up on drugs ive never even touched drug. It such an aggravating myth that clubs are invested with drugs you know some maybe and all are defintly not and if you don't do drugs arnt looking it for it then it won't effect you. As far as mental the only thing would be is that i don't trust men and i find that to be a very good thing i am glad i know who men realy are and i don't search for or expect prince charming.

    if i were you id find anthor shrink your seems to be very narrow minded.

    A person has to have the right kind of demeanor and personality for a dancing career to work for her. I'm a brash and bossy person that doesn't care what others think about me, so dancing was a perfect fit, when in previous jobs I felt like a square peg in a round hole.

    So overall dancing has had a positive effect, but not 100%. My feet are screwed up from the shoes, and I probably judge myself too harshly on my looks. I'm ruined for ever working in a traditional 9-5 kind of job again. I can't stand the thought of having to allow customers/ co-workers verbally abuse me just to keep my job, f*ck that!

    On the upside, I am still working in the industry as a dancer's agent booking bachelor parties and clubs. I sort of see myself as a dancer's advocate working from the inside to make changes in the industry. I love the stripping biz, and am very, very happy I became a stripper when I did (1998 ).


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    First of all, I used to hear people say things like "it will make you more bitter" and "it's really hard on you emotionally" and I thought "pffft, whatever, I'm strong". I -AM- strong and I -AM- grounded, but after 4 years... I can tell you they are at least somewhat correct.

    For the most part I am still the same person. I don't have any drug addictions (aside from smoking weed here and there, but I did that before dancing). I don't drink any more than I already did and I still don't really drink AT work. Sexually I haven't noticed any changes. If anything I have MORE of a sex drive now than I did when I started, but I don't think that's related to dancing. I think it's related to turning 30. The only time when I started getting a little weird about sex was when I worked full contact, which is one of the reasons I stopped. Of course, that doesn't happen to everyone and I don't believe (contrary to some people) that being "weak" or "strong" is everything when it comes to if it will bother you or not. Those terms are far too black and white.

    I can tell you that mentally the biggest change is that I am -far- less trusting of people than I was previously. I also have a much worse opinion of people in general. Don't get me wrong, I don't think everyone is horrible and I don't "hate men" I just think that my eyes were opened. In fact, I'm not even sure it's a negative thing. You wind up hearing a lot of shit that probably only therapists or priests in a confessional would here. It can wear on you after awhile. Maybe it's partly location or maybe I attract wack-jobs.. but that's been my experience.

    It's made me a lot more confident in myself physically and socially, and helped me get over this shyness I had with guys before. It's also helped me spot assholes more easily.

    It also makes me feel horrible about myself some days and is difficult to balance with the rest of my life. It's a mix of good and bad I guess.

    Of course it's possible. I haven't become a different person since I started dancing. Dancing hasn't taken over my life. The trick is to know who you are going in. If you're prone to make bad decisions it will be that much easier for you to do that in this industry. But it doesn't HAVE to be that way. Treat it like a job and it will be exactly that; just a job. Know that you're life is not ITC. Know that you're doing this just as a stepping stone to get to the next part of your life. Leave all the BS at the club door when you leave. The choices YOU make will dictate whether or not it's possible for you.

    Honestly, I feel like dancing has not had a good effect on me. But I don't think it's because stripping is inherently destructive. It's because I didn't have clear boundaries going into it.


    If anything, I would say stripping is like a pressure cooker. Whatever weaknesses, flaws, tendencies, addictions, issues you have before you start stripping, will be intensified under the pressures of the club. For me, it was a sense of not having ownership over my body. For some other girls, it may be a tendency to abuse drugs and alcohol.

    You have to really have your head on straight to not let some of the bad aspects of stripping get to you. And unfortunately, sometimes you don't know how straight your head is until you start. I mean, I consider myself pretty intelligent, accomplished, and together--and stripping still took a toll. That's not to say that it's without its benefits. But that is a whole 'nother issue.

    I don't know anyone who has become "screwed up" by stripping. I know people who were already screwed up and already had drug problems, and this job is somewhat enabling because you can be drunk or high while you work unlike an office setting where that would probably get you fired.

    As for me, stripping made me really, incredibly angry at first. I've worked in other aspects of the industry and, from my perspective, strippers get more abuse than any other sex workers. Street walkers are probably the exception, but I've never done that so I can't speak from experience. I was treated with more respect as a legal prostitute, as an escort, as a phone sex operator, a web cam girl, and during the very few porn experiences I've had.

    I've actually had hooker friends ask me what stripping is like, and I describe it as: "Remember before you came to work at the brothel and you were afraid of what it would be like? Well, that's what stripping is."

    Eventually I got over the anger and now it just makes me sad. There are some great customers, sure, but there are some really awful ones, and in many places they are allowed to remain in the club and abuse the girls either verbally or sexually.

    There is also the stigma. When I was an escort, people were more curious than anything and I was pretty open about what I did. Stripping seems to somehow be "worse" which I just can't understand. I'm irritated and then saddened by the hypocrisy of a cashier with four kids by four different fathers calling me dirty and infected with STD's because I take my top off. It blows my mind when a family member who had an orgy with her husband's four best friends behind his back which destroyed her marriage and her family labels me disgusting and cuts ties with me because her moral transgressions were an "accident" while my dancing is "on purpose" making it unforgiveable.

    So, after a long ass speech about nothing, the conclusion is: I think less of people than I did before. I feel good about my family, and my life, and I don't think I'm damaged but I just don't expect much out of the average person. I think most people are narrow minded hypocrites who can't see past the end of their own noses, and unfortunately, that even includes many women who work in this industry. It's just fucking sad.

    I would agree with most of the other ladies--becoming a stripper isn't inherently problematic for most people...but the job can exacerbate pre-existing problems. I've seen women turn into everything from shopping addicts to drug addicts to severely insecure quasi-prostitutes as a result of stripping. That does not mean, however, that the job is evil. It just takes a strong person to deal maturely with the crazy-quick money making possibilities.

    As for me...I was a virgin for my first 2+ years of stripping. I've never done any drugs, and I've only ever drank once. I've been stripping for almost 3 years now, and I have not noticed any major negative effects from the job. Sometimes I find it difficult, when my sexuality is commodified, to make it my own again in my 'real life'...but I am aware of this problem, and my partner and I are working through it.

    However, I'm sure my stability in the industry exists for a number of reasons. 1) I don't need the money I make. I save it, invest it, buy things I need/want...but I'm not in a desperate position, as I am only supporting myself, and my family could feasibly support me if my job fell through. and 2) I work in a no-contact club. Therefore, my story can't speak for any women who either need the money they make to dig out of debt or feed a family, or work in a high-contact club, etc.

    From dancing, I've gained conversational confidence (pretty incredible how far I've come in this department), physical confidence, financial confidence/know-how, knowledge of humanity (I'm pretty non-judgmental...I enjoy seeing both the beautiful and ugly sides of my customers), etc, etc, etc.

    There's no way to know what you may gain or lose by stripping. It's best to start out slow and keep your friends/family close to you (so they can tell you if you're changing negatively).

    Hmmmm...

    Well, I am sure i;ll get some flames for this, but I'd say that to come out of it without extra issues, or without it making pre-existing ones worse, is a 50-50 split between the sort of club you work at, at whether you had issues going in.

    I have been doing this about 5 1/2yrs. at both stage only and lap dance clubs.

    Now, I'll be honest, I have yet to meet a single stripper who doesnt have ANY issues. Now, this is not to say that issue=problem. But when i say issues, i include body image issues, self esteem issues, etc. I dont just mean drug/alcohol.

    Personally, I have minor body image issues, plus trust issues.

    Being in this business, I have both positive and negative results. I have gained social skills, and a better ability to read people, particularly men. I have become more assertive. Negatives include less patience with bs from men.

    If you go in seeing this as a job, and not a party, you are more likely, IMHO to come out of it better.

    It's not all roses and sunshine, but its not all shit either. It's just like any other job...it has its pros and cons.

    I do find a lot of strippers really start to cling to one thing or another in some effort to see themselves above others. A lot start to look down on men, or look down on people like me who are swingers (i.e. sexually open), etc.

    to this day I am still baffled when i hear girls come in and complain that they are drunk, go on about how they are a mom and never do this, and yet are drunk every time i see them. And no, this is not a minority. I have not just worked in crap clubs and I see too many girls who are drunk on a regular basis, need to drink to do their job, or are dating abusive guys and have no long term plan.

    Stereotypes are often wrong, but they are also often right...they did start somewhere after all.

    I'm not ashamed of what I do at all. It has helped me be independent through college and law school. However I still recognize that a lot of the girls I work with are not the most stable people. Some of them are awesome, but there is a reason I don't try to become buddy buddy with most of them.

    So, to answer your question...yes, you can do this and not come out "messed up", but it takes works and a maturity that a lot of people don't have. Go in with a plan, treat it like a job, and know that you will meet both good and bad people.

    And yeah, have to agree with the above posters...you need a new shrink. I cant stand people who assume this shit about us. Yeah, some might be right, but it is not universal and they need to get that. there is a difference between possibilities/chances and 'definites'.

    Good luck in whatever you choose to do.

    If you are seeing a "shrink" for some issues maybe you want to fully address those issues first before entering dancing. I think a stable-minded woman with tons of conviction and confidence and self esteem can truly prosper in this biz.
    I have gained a lot (financially, and street-sense), am able to fend for myself when appropriate, know when to not put myself in risky situations, but certainly I have compromised some other major things along the way.

    I want to add that the effects are also TOTALLY dependent upon whether your club is stage or lap-dance focused. At a stage-only club where there is little pressure to "hustle" lapdances from customers, I think the effects are much more minimal. Just my opinion.

    I have yet to meet a single person -period- who doesnt have any issues. Everyone has problems to some extent. There's no such thing as a truly balanced and perfectly mentally normal human being. In fact, no one would even know what that is because it can't be measured. It's all relative.

    That's why I said before that I don't believe being "strong" has everything to do with if this job is right for you or not. It's not about strong or weak it's about all sort of combinations of personality traits. For instance, stripping might not be the best choice of job for someone with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Does this mean that every woman who suffers from GAD is a "weak" person? Absolutely not.

    On the other hand, someone with extreme narcissism might do well for themselves (just an example, obviously). Does that mean they are mentally "strong" or "normal"? no.

    I'm just saying that writing off every girl who is negatively effected by dancing as "weak" is unfair. It just means that it's not for her. Everyone is different and honestly no one knows how it will really effect them until they do it. Even then (as in my case) you might be fine with it for years before it starts getting to you.

    And all of that being said, it isn't as if things are like night and day for most girls. IMO for MOST dancers there will be some positive changes and some negative. It's the amount of which and to what extent it effects the person's life that will differ greatly from girl to girl. Any job, relationship, etc. that you have will change you at least to some extent.

    I have only been doing this for 9 weeks or so, but the changes I have seen in myself are quite dramatic. I am MUCH happier cuz I now make a lot more money than I have ever had. I don't know what to do with the money though cuz I have no rent, bills or children.
    Ok on a more serious note, my sex drive has gone down a bit, and my hubby has noticed. I am also less tolerant of men/boys OTC. In fact I kind of errr, dislike them tremendously. I am also unaffected by very good looking guys. Even though my sex drive has decreased, I feel kind of empty or paranoid when my husband is not horny for me like one night out of the week or something.

    I have to say my ideas have stayed the same, except one. Before dancing I tended to meet a few jerks. Many didn't have jobs, others were verbally abusive. When I started I actually got more confidence and realized I'd rather be alone than with these guys. Outside of that it stayed the same. I might be an exception because I never do drugs and never drank while working (and look down on those who do).

    I read or heard this somewhere and I think it is so true. Whatever issues you have before stripping (drugs, alcohol, shopping, trust, etc) will only get worse when you start stripping. Your making a lot of money really fast on most nights but your having to put up with guys (not ALL, but almost half in my opinion) who are jerks, drunk a**holes, creepy, or weirdos. Your usually answering the same questions with each guy you talk to and telling some of the same stories over and over again. That being said, you can do a lot of good with the money that you do earn (invest, pay for school, house, etc) and it is good money, and its definitely not a dull job.
