Hi everyone,
I've been a member of this site for a long time but I've rarely posted. I remember finding this site after I'd already been working as a stripper/exotic dancer for a while. I found this forum to be very informative, entertaining and helpful through-out my career as a house-dancer so thank you to the owners/moderators of this site and the contributing members.
I thought I'd post the folowing note since I've just exited (permanently) the world of gentlemen's clubs (but not the world of adult entertainment).
Exotic dancing/stripping is full of ladders an pitfalls - financially, emotionally, psychologically, etc - however I'll never regret having entered the profession. Through being a dancer/stripper I learned a tremendous amount about myself, other's and without having entered the adult world never would have learned how strong I really am.
The life is not for everyone - I made MANY blunders - everything from not saving as much as I should have, dating mistakes, trusting the wrong people, drug and alcohol problems and putting myself in dangerous situations that by the grace of a higher power I was able to get out of without being harmed.
However along with the negatives, exotic dancing brought many positives into my life: extreme confidense in my appearance, the ability to "chat it up" with just about anyone-anytime-anywhere about anything, friendships I never would have forged, funny experiences I'd never trade, a lucrative business which I never would have created if I hadn't gotten into dancing, a positive and fearless view of my sexuality and sensuality and last but not least, if I hadn't been a dancer, I never would have met the love of my life and future husband who I'll never mind doing the dishes for.
Before the end of the year I'll be done with my little book on the industry and I'll put it on my website for download. Hopefully people who are in the industry or just curious about it will get a laugh and some real info on what to expect and what to do.
There's much more I'd like to say here, but I don't want this post to be too long or boring or sappy. I just want to wish the best and let you all know that this life can DEFINITELY result in a happy ending.
stage name: Monica
