    Default does the job attract or cause problems

    "Platinum Plus in Memphis, TN was recently shut by the FEDS on various charges drugs, prostitution, $$$ laundering etc. This club is not likely to reopen anytime soon... Di the drugs cause the prostitution? prostitution cause drugs abuse? or were most of the dancers drug addicts before they started dancing? Kind ob begs the questions does the JOB create these problems or just attract them? " laplover


    I put this here and linked to CC.... so laplover could get our perspective, hopefully without too much derailing (no boys!) lol

    The environment draws all of those things. Not to say that it's inevitable, but it's much easier to get drugs in a bar, then say, a 6' by 6' cubicle. You will meet more "undesirable" people in bars than at the union hall. Actually they're alot of the same people but the bar scene makes people want to cut loose. I keep hearing the song "Rockstar" while I'm typing and that's probably fairly accurate. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll is a pretty common fantasy and we happen to work in a n industry that feeds all of those.
    I'm all for propriety and decency, after all, profanity is just the linguistic crutch of pathetic motherfuckers.

    I think there are two types of junkie/prostitute type dancers. The first, and I think the largest group, are the ones who started using drugs before they became dancers. They were the types who couldn't hold down a "real" job but wanted a lot of drug money so they became dancers.

    The second type are the girls who became dancers simply because they are pretty but are extremely naive about what large amounts of money really are. There are plenty of managers and customers who are into the whole "I'm a yuppie cokehead with a pretty girl on my arm" lifestyle who take advantage of this and it just all sorts of compounds in on itself. I think this is especially true at themore "upscale" clubs. Guys with enough money and coke who want pretty young girls to play with are endemic in those environments. At my club (which is relatively clean and not so upscale), there are definatly more customers who come in geeked up on coke than there are dancers who do it.

    I tend to think that most people have certain personalities that make them more vulnerable to getting into drugs. For example, addictive personalities or a history of drug abuse in their family spanning several generations. Kali Dean and Phoenix_Rising have said some really good valid points, too.

    But I stand by my point that if a girl didn't do drugs before stripping and IS naive enough to succomb to drug use, then she probably had traits of that in her personality. Such as an inability to say no, a drastic "need" to escape from reality or the problems that have been plaguing her life, or a hard-partying part of her personality. Why do I think this? Because there are many people that have been exposed to drug use and drug availability, but have avoided getting pulled into it. My friend J-- is one example...his whole family drank or did drugs...hell his brother even died from something drug related!...but he has stood firm about his decision to not try drugs. Then again, his decision to not do drugs could have something to do with trying his best to distance himself from the perils that plague his family. I believe that some of the straight-edge dancers are the same way...they purposely abstain because they see the damage that drugs do to their fellow dancers.

    As far as the prostitution goes? A lot of drug addicts probably DO succomb to extras/prostitution because they need a way to pay for their drug habit. They probably paid for their drugs via clean dancing at one point, but then saw their earnings declining, so they decided to step it up by doing extras. Or, perhaps they had an addiction before they started dancing, got into dancing as a way to pay for their addiction, but didn't make nearly as much money dancing as they'd anticipated, so they stoop to prostitution. Then again, I heard a theory that a lot of "prostitutes" work at a strip club and perform extras there because they are in denial that they are really prostitutes; working at an escort service, or on a street corner, would feel degrading to them.
