    Default Retirement thoughts

    Hi ladies, I am an old member of the board I had to start a new account because I no longer have my stripper email connected to the old one. I was a phone/cam girl for 4 years and a stripper for 5 years after that.

    2 years ago I broke my ankle and was forced to quit dancing. I got an office job as my ankle never fully healed and I've been in constant pain for 2 years. I just had surgery to fix it and am recovering for what I hope is the final time. It weird to me that I still miss dancing so much!

    I turned 30 this year and in the past I said I would retire at 30. I also have a boyfriend whom I love very much, the first year we were together I was still stripping. At the time he said it was fine but since then he has revealed it was really difficult for him and he hates the idea of me ever doing it again. He wouldn't try to stop me but it would damage and possibly end our relationship.

    so I think I'm retired for good but not by my own choice. I have dreams about dancing and not telling him and feel guilty afterward. I feel crazy for missing it so much. Sometimes I just feel like my life is so boring now working in an office and being close to broke all the time, I wanna scream!!

    any other retired ladies out there? How is your life after stripping? Do you miss it and if so how do you deal with that?

    I am retired. I miss parts of it but at the same time I could live with not going back.

    I'm really on the fence about a lot of it....

    If you're forced out of something that you really enjoyed doing, it's always going to be difficult, that's for sure. I had a dream about being back in it just last night and I left 15 years ago! I did buy a stripper pole for my place a few years back, and obviously that's not the same at all, but it helps.
    I wonder if there's anything that you can do to be close to it again and alleviate some of the boredom of your office job without compromising your relationship?

    Thanks rollo, even just posting has made me feel better. And I read back through some of my really old posts on the forum about bad nights I had, I realize a lot of it is nostalgia and while I had great times stripping, I also had shitty times. Maybe someday I'll pick up a shift again for fun. I totally want a pole for my house I miss pole dancing a lot! I was just getting good at inversions when I got hurt dammit!

    I'm in semi-retirement. I have 1 club I work at. Over the years I've slowly worked less and less. I'll get a wild hair up my ass (probably a manic episode), go in, and make good money. It makes me super happy so I try to go in once a week. The money slowly goes away as I get more irritable and drink less each week. I start hating being at work and it shows. After about 4 shifts I stop showing up. I take months off at a time. I need to fully retire, but my bank account won't let me.

    I agree with Rollo. Being forced out is totally different. You weren't ready to quit. I don't think an ankle injury wouldn't really heal correctly or fully if you went back to dancing, even once in a while, either. Any clubs near you with an amateur night maybe? You and your BF could go in have a good time for a few hours, you dance on stage for a few minutes, and then you can go home with it out of your system.

    I'm like Aurora. Last week I went to the stripper store and bought a a couple of new outfits and a new pair of shoes. I like to get all tarted-up and hang out with sexy women. I like flirting with men in an atmosphere where that kind of behavior is normal. I like to complain about the bad music and then pump my fist when an awesome song comes on.

    I miss my regulars. That surprised me because I felt like I was getting tired of seeing the same 10-12 guys every month, but I find myself wondering of Mr. Jones ever changed jobs or if Mr. Smith's wife has left him yet.

    I can't say I'm fully retired. A better word would be a sort of hiatus, and I go to the club once in a while when I want some quick cash.

    Life after stripping is pretty good, can't complain.

    I definitely miss putting a show for a good crowd and feeling that rush when you make lots of cash on a good night. I wrote a whole thing about it a while back.

    I think I miss the memories of certain clubs and management more than going to the club itself sometimes. Because sometimes when I find myself going in once in a while, and experiencing a slow night, and guys trying to 'game' me and trying to get my number even if I explain to them I live far away and rarely go to the club at all, I don't miss and it and just want to live my regular life.
