    Aside from the money, I enjoy the job because I can work as much or as little as I want to. At my current club we don’t have to be there for a certain amount of time, work a set number of days or stay until a certain time so if I want to work 3 hours one day or 8 it doesn’t matter. I love having that freedom. I also enjoy dressing up and talking to interesting people. Most days, the job is fun for me and that’s always a plus when you’re working.

    It started out for the money. I didn't think anyone would want to see me dance or take my clothes off but after a few weeks I found out very different. It was very liberating knowing that all the guys before that said that no one else would want me were very wrong. I also enjoy the freedom it gives me. I work as much or as little as I want. I went to nursing school and do work as a nurse too,but those are 12 hour shifts where I'm on my feet and busy the whole time. There are times I can work in the club 2 nights and make as much as I would as a nurse in a week.

    I really enjoy the dancing. I do want to get better at the pole and learn more advanced tricks. It's fun and feels like a decent workout. I've developed strength out of it.

    Wearing pretty outfits and high heels that I don't wear in my everyday life. It's like playing dress up.

    The flexibility.
    -I don't have to worry about calling in sick or having to deal with cramps at work. I can just stay home.
    -My husband recently started dealing with mental health problems (psychotic episodes, random depression). It's great that I could take days off to lookout for him and make sure he's taking his meds. A scheduled job would not have been happy with me calling off last minute.

    It has improved my self-esteem a bit. Most guys don't notice those things we seem to hate about ourselves (crooked teeth, cellulite, big feet, too big/small/saggy boobs, pointy nose, whatever). Sometimes those things are even things they like about us and compliment us on. I used to dislike my smile (because of my crooked teeth), legs, and nose, yet I get a lot of compliments about those things at work! It's true that people exaggerate their own "flaws" but the rest of the world doesn't notice or care.

    I really love the outfits & the glam. I enjoy all the little semi sheer one pieces, colorful bikinis & rhinestone covered thongs. Rhinestone bracelets and all the gaudy glam accessories I secretly like it.

    Just the money/freedom/and the outfits. It doesn't do anything for me mentally, good or bad. It's just a job.

    I love the freedom mainly other than money. The outfits and shoes are a lot of fun too. I also like the pole.

    The freedom of being able to work whenever I want, or be able to choose when to go into work or not (my disability is at a point where it can be hard to work a normal job and I was not approved for any disability benefits)

    Doing pole work and constantly moving, I've found that i'm in much better shape than when I started. Pole is fun also!

    Outfits, are fun to put together and get enthused by.. I also feel very nice when I dress up

    Just having a reason to get glammed up and go out is fun too. Even just for work. I'm kind of a hermit otherwise lol

    And as tempest said.... pissing off SWERFs, religious conservatives and slut-shamers is fun too.

    The workout, the outfits, the girls, getting to exert my power over men in an overtly sexual way without giving them sex. I'm my own boss, and it's a generally fun job. I like being admired. And I also like pissing off religious conservatives and radfems who hate us.

    A double edged sword: having conversations I otherwise would never have, with people I'd typically never talk to outside the club. Sometimes it's cool to learn where other people are coming from, sometimes you were sad you asked

    Other than the money I've always loved more than anything being admired by men, I'm like a natural flirt, turning men's heads especially if they're married and with their wives its just so much fun. I love being glammed up to my nines, the pretty revealing dresses, high heels, lingerie. I love dancing and teasing, I can work the pole quite well.
    Even when I'm escorting I love it when they like me to dress up in revealing little black dresses to go out on the town as their arm candy to show off, as it seems most boyfriends/husbands dislike that so its nice to be able to get paid for it also.

    My mum used to be a stripper before she met my dad, they both know I'm a stripper they're fine about it, but my dad don't know I escort.

    Being able to travel and work whenever I want, pole dancing and stage dancing in general, getting to get dressed up and try different makeup every night, getting to hang out with some really amazing dancers (no matter where you go, strippers are always the coolest people in the whole damn city), working flexible hours, and having tons of weird and wild stories.

    You're lucky! I usually don't get along with other dancers. I was told I have an intimidating personality so a lot of girls don't want to befriend me.

    Back on topic, I find stripping amusing now. I really don't need the money now so I treat stripping like a giant adventure. It's much more fun.

    I have a six-pack trying to come through. Nothing else--not running a half-marathon, not weight lifting--gets me into shape the way stripping does.

    All the stuff everyone else said about money, freedom, travel opportunities, outfits, etc. definitely applies to me. I just wanted to brag about my nascent six-pack.

    I miss the way I could talk so freely in a club about anything!, Not dealing with vanilla office politics , vanilla people drag on to shit for ages, I also miss making up weird shit to guys and them believing or acting like they believe me then giving me money, me and my friends used to say stupid shit to guys it was fun.

    Six-pack on a woman though?
    Don't get me wrong I absolutely love men with muscles especially if he has the obliques with his six-pack, but just... no tease or warm up required here lol
    I've just never known anyone fancy a six-pack on a woman.

    Loooool other dancers have told me that they’ve found me intimidating, too! I just don’t really shut up when the club’s slow and we’ve got nothing else better to do besides talk to each other. I’m usually the person that initiates the conversations.

    And yeah, stripping is always better when you can be more financially relaxed about it. Takes the stress out in a huge way. It’s a damn unfortunate paradox, but I’m glad you’re getting to experience that now! You’ve definitely earned it.

    Bwhaahahah I have a bad feeling I've met you.


    I'm a very private person. & Sadly being open with other dancers in my social group has only caused problems (I'm lookin' at YOU, "fruitygirl"...…………) So I don't work with "friends" anymore.

    Stripping was the perfect college job. It paid well and the hours were flexible. I definitely learned a lot on the job. I learned about selling, I learned about customer service. I learned that I was not a freak. A little freaky, but not a freak, so it was very good for my self-image and mental health.

    This is so true.


    I grew up with a lot of shaming and negativity around sexuality so with stripping it was nice to be comfortable with my sex appeal and use it for something positive.

    Another benefit of being a stripper- my math computation abilities improved. I had to count and calculate my budgets nightly or weekly.
