    HERPES and being a stripper

    hi ladies, and you perverted lurking guys too. I have been stripping all nude for a week. I am really starting to rake it in and even getting over my shyness. last nite my boyfriend came in to watch me late when it was packed. he discreetly followed me around to 5 lap dances and even bought 2 guys a dance from me as he sat near and watched. we both got incredibly horny and he loved it. sex back home was super. actually he says he is so proud of me having guts enuf to strip and our sex life has improved dramatically because of it. he is totally cool with my job, not jealous at all (yet?). in addition to getting un shy day by day, my posture is improving along with my self esteem (i AM beautiful!), my english, and my ability to walk in those damn shoes. But a friend cautioned me about - HERPES -! I hadn't even thought of it. can i get it from the pole? there is quite a bit of discreet contact between me and the guys. they rub their hands all over me. how much risk is all this? hopefully this post will open up a good debate. bye for now.

    They touch your cookie and you kiss them on the lips?!!!! And the pole is not sanitized at your club?! If you're worried about herpies then these are the key components to worry about. You and your bf don't mind you doing this with several strangers a night? Well i guess it is all up to you and your comfort level as well as his. I work at a no-touch bar so that is the only reason I am so shocked at this. It is extra money for touching and you don't have to do it if you're not comfortable with it. And NEVER touch my cookie unless you want a heel in your face. If they even attempt that the dance is over.

    I know that you can't get herpes from the pole because my gynecologist told me that the herpes don't stay alive when it's out of the body but then letting guy's touch you with their dirty hands there might be a risk of an infection but not herpes ! You can catch herpes from oral sex with someone who as a cold sore or by penetration with somebody that as an outbreak sometimes it is not noticeable !

    Kissing guys you dont know on the mouth?? I guess its whatever you are comfortable with, although if thats what you are going to do then I would make sure you arent kissing on open sores.
    The club you work at allows men to touch the kitty and kiss on the mouth? I have never heard of that before. I dont find it is nessessary to allow men to touch me, I still make money regaurdless.
    As the other girls said, you cannot catch herpes from the pole, although I hope they do whipe your pole down once in a while with sanitizer.
    To be safe and avoid getting a UTI or infection of somekind, I would avoid letting men touch the kitty (dirty boy hands who "adjust" them selves before dances or in the middle of the night, or dont wash there hands after bathrooms, or has touched other kitties and is now touching yours=no) ...
    Just some advise.

    For some reason, kissing customers is particularly gross to me. I would never swap bodily fluids with customers! Anyone can tell you that isn't a good idea. If you have to be doing these things to work at your club (which I highly doubt), get another club.

    I agree that this post has to be fake... more people would consider this within the norm if there were states in which clubs were not closed for this behavior. Since we all think it is too far out there, and no one is piping in that they know places like that...

    But if it isn't lets at least try to remember that, to some people, taking your clothes off is an abomination but we have all decided to set our own personal limits. We cant come down on Wildlands for setting different ones.

    Okay, was I the only one that read the part that said "this post should open up a good debate?" Its a reasonable assumption that this post has now served it purpose. We just need one more outraged post and then for someone to say the "e" word and this'll end up a full fledged bullshit debate about nothing.
    Now about the herpes thing: Be concerned, be smart and be careful because this is a reasonable concern in the club anyway, but moreso b/c you are nude. I know of one girl at work who has it and she doesn't work during her outbreaks and her polework is simple just spins and twirls. There are several more who probably have it that I don't know about but as a rule I do not go up after girls who pole dance nude or do what I consider "nasty" shows onstage that would put me at risk for contact with cooch germs.

    oh my - you guys think THIS is a hard post to digest I suggest you do a search on the kissing customers thing - we had a huge controversy on that last year with a dancer who bragged of french necking her customers whilst handjobbing them with a plastic glove -

    in any event herpes can be transmitted easily by hand and when there are no sores to give you warning - herpes virus sheds even when there is NO lesion my friends.

    People also can HAVE herpes on the fingertips - its called herpes whitlow. (sp?)

    Herpes in the eyes too - in fact anywhere, so do NOT be lulled into a false sense of security with such misinformation.

    You can get it so easily - and without the telltale sores either.

    Be informed - read up on it - there are tons of sites with information - do a google search.

    Excellent points, Leigh.

    1.) If you are worried about Herpes (you should worry about everything else as well, but anyway) then you should NOT be kissing customers on the mouth. (a) you can get oral herpes easily...they might have a small sore that you cant see (b) You dont know where there mouth has been...

    2.) You are letting guys touch your pussy? Then you are at risk for any kind of infection because remember that the guys hand you money, try to touch other dancers crotches and so on.

    If you want to avoid problems down there, then dont put yourself in a position where you will have to wonder and worry.

    We are just advising you to be cautious because remember a large percentage of men dont wash their hands after peeing... (or number 2) so if they try and touch the kitty you can get a bacterial infection etc.

    And kissing? Well just dont do it....you can get all sorts of nasties

    Re: the Herpes... protect your mucous membranes (pussy, mouth, eyes, and the hands that touch them) and you should be fine. Even if there is herpes on the pole, you're not going to get it unless you put your pussy on the pole (ew), or unless you don't wash your hands after getting off stage and then touch mucous membranes (nose inlcuded). And hopefully you do wash since you're inserting digits.

    As for the other stuff...uh, just don't come to my clubs, m'kay?

    Nothing wrong with being new.
    can i ask what state your in??

    Its just that alot of entertainers are surprised at the fact that your doing what you are.Its just not common in strip clubs except as the horrid "extras"that everyone keeps talking about that happen in the VIP room.
    Hell in Va,a female cant even touch her own boobs OR kitty on stage.Its against the law.


    Forum:If this is a new girl,she might not know the laws in her own state and could have been tossed into this blindly.
    Could be a chance to help set her straight.

    Wow. Damn Gina, all I gotta say is-you're basically opening yourself up to herpes when you kiss them in the mouth. And even if a person doesn't have visible cold sores on their mouth at the time does not mean they are a non-carrier. The virus could be active and not showing yet or dormant in their body (in which case you wouldn't have to worry at that time.) 1 in 6 people have herpes, 1 in 3 have HPV, I don't know the statitistics on HIV/AIDS yet, but why would you care? You obviously don't care enough about yourself if you're willing to kiss and let these men insert their fingers in your vagina. I'm surprised your boyfriend didn't do anything while watching. But your relationship, your vagina, your life. I suggest you just book it to Reno and work at a Bunny Ranch. You'd be forced to use protection, they test you for STDs once a week or so, and you'd probably rake in a lot more money, I just don't know if they'd let your boyfriend watch. Good luck hun, I hope you change your ways or take it else where.

    I'm glad to hear that Strippers don't allow fingering in other locations. I had one who pushed my fingers against her kitty, then licked my fingers- who would want to kiss that? Not me!
    I guess that, as you get older, you realize that you must balance risk against pleasure, and understand some of the dangers involved in extras.

    I agree with Brooke. To some stripping is gross and horrible. Don't treat wildlands1 how others treat strippers just because she draws her personal limits differently than you do. We all do things in our lives that others can look down upon.

    There are regions in the US where what wildlands1 described is very common, if not on the light side of contact in some places. Don't pretend that it doesn't happen. She's looking for advice on working safe. It's a chance to educate not put her down. If you want to convince her that she doesn't have to allow contact, then go for it. If you have advice on staying healthy, go for it. But putting her or what she does down helps no one.
    We all imagine ourselves the agents of our destiny, capable of determining our own fate. But have we truly any choice in when we rise, or when we fall, or does a force larger than ourselves bid us our direction. Is it evolution that takes us by the hand, does Science point our way, or is it God who intervenes keeping us safe.

    So much struggle for meaning, for purpose. And in the end, we find it only in each other. Our shared experience of the fantastic. And the mundane. The simple human need to find a kindred, to connect. And to know in our hearts... that we are not alone.

    Yeah, sorry for posting so quickly without thinking there. I remember now that I was once new and niave as well. I use to let a little extras there because I was so young and emotionally vunerable and stupid I'd let guys put me down. I think they have like a third-sense for the weaker, newer, younger girls. They act like preditors and you have got to remember that YOU are the preditor not THEM and keep it that way. I'd get so down on myself that I'd give-in occassionally when I really didn't want to because I didn't think I was good enough. Now I know that I am better than any sleaze-bag paying to see me in a bar.

    I think contact dancers and customers need to take all the same precautions to prevent std's as you would during sex.

    It doesn't matter if it's for pleasure or for pay the same risks apply when mucous membranes are involved.

    it's better to be safe than sorry !

    You can lower the risks by not kissing customers- by not allowing them to touch you between the legs or inserting your own fingers into yourself if there is a chance they aren't 100% sanitary- etc.

    And remember all the risks can be eliminated by working in low or no contact clubs.

    We all have to ask ourselves what is important- for me it was my health so I just didn't take these kinds of risks.

    Herpes- lots of info- read up- you can get it in your eyes and you can also get athlete's foot from a stage if a dancer has it and does not wear shoes.. you can get a staph infection as well from unsanitary places on the stage or the pole. Use hand sanitizer frequently....

    Sad Re: HERPES and being a stripper

    Think about any contact as a risk. If one guy kisses you, he has kissed thousands of girls before you, same with touch.Do you want all those germs from other people he has touched and kissed on you?When I 1st started dancing I was 21. Most of the girls at the club were 18.It was fun time for all of us.We loved the attention and the money.I changed boyfriends every 3 months and flirted like I was still in highschool.We danced nude and set on the guys laps.We never thought about germs or disease.It was the early 80's and all we needed was to be on the pill.We got drunk often and feared nothing.We didn't do extras in the club,but some girls did after work.We supported our bum boyfriends, as a lot of dancers still do.They loved the money, but hated us.We weren't smart enough to know this.The world is a rougher place now.Drugs are scarier, drinks can have date rape drug in them.Murder happens often.Just keep this all in mind and treat dancing as a real job that you want to make money at. Keep play time and work time seperate.I wish you well.The money has been going down since the 1999.Be safe and love yourself.

    An estimated 70% of genital herpes comes from HSV-2 (herpes simplex virus type 2) and 30% from HSV-1 (the far more common oral type). The oral-genital crossover possibilities are scary.

    Again, don't allow them to touch your kitty or your nippies, don't kiss them on the lips or let them kiss you, and wash your hands (and arms) often. Including before you go to the restroom, expecially if you are changing a tampon. If there is pole humping or nude dancing on stage, be wary of the pole. All sorts of infections can occur when you don't protect yourself. Hell, I don't even sit all the way in the chairs unless it or I am covered.

    Good luck in your endeavors as a new dancer. Don't let the customers take advantage of you, because they will certainly try.
