This is a question I got for Dancers. Do you think backpage, escort agencies, and legal brothels are hurting the stripping industry?
I been going to many clubs for the past couple years and one thing I have noticed, at least in my area, is dancers are complaining the dancers are not making the money they use to be making years ago. Not as many customers are coming in and guys just are not spending the money they use to. I got a theory why this is.
If a guy can get a girl for $200/hr on backpage who is just as attractive as most girls in the clubs, even if it is just stripping, this is a lot cheaper then a VIP in a club. If the $200 is for "anything goes" in that hour then this is a much better deal then they can get in most clubs. From what I have observed in many clubs "anything goes" is against club rules and the girl risks getting fired if she is caught. I have seen mangers go into VIP rooms and fire girls caught on camera.
Even escort agencies online that charge like $500/hr, this is still a much better deal than what you get in the clubs. Many girls at the escort agencies have their photos verified and they are very attractive girls. Even if the $500 for an hour is stripping only, many strippers I have met want at least that much if not more for stripping only outside the club and many flat out refuse to do stripping with a customer in a hotel room.
The threat of law enforcement is not there if the escorts and the customers word things right, according to a relative of mine who is an attorney. He is a criminal attorney and he told me as long as the agreed terms between the customer and the escort is "stripping only" for an hour in a hotel room, the girl and the customer are pretty much immune to getting in any legal trouble. Sure the cops could try to arrest, but the charges will never hold water in court due to lack of evidence. If all the evidence from text messages and verbal agreement only centers around "stripping only" this is legal under the law and any good criminal attorney will be able to get the girl and customer off.
Also there is the legalization of brothels like in Nevada, Europe, and talks of legal brothels in Canada that I see as potentially hurting the stripping industry. I predict in the next 10 years in the United States more states besides Nevada will have legal brothels, it is just a matter of time.
So dancers what are your thoughts do you think backpage, escorts, legal brothels and talks of more legal brothels are hurting your business and the stripping industry?
