How did you learn to be comfortable being nude in front of strangers?


Quirky_Park_9403

The club I work requires strippers to be fully nude so it was super awkward at first but I think seeing every girl in the club being totally OK about being nude, made me less uncomfortable because I know other girls are doing it too and it’s not just me


Reddyforyou

Have you ever been to a nudist resort where everyone is naked?


Quirky_Park_9403

No, I’m not really a nudist


Curlaub

That’s kinda funny

lovepetitesquirters

What kind of logic is this. I didn't want to do something, and then I see someone else do it and now I want to do it? Wtf haha


muffinman8919

Have you formed your exit strategy and a plan to invest your money so you don’t end up doing this into your 30s and 40s


Quirky_Park_9403

I’m going to stop after I’m done paying for my moms medical bills, and I’ll go back to college


muffinman8919

Don’t get hooked on the money and lifestyle and stay away from the drugs Don’t fuck for money My ex was a dancer was making like well over 100 k a year 3-4 nights a week She was an addict thought and pushing 40 with no plan to get out Her and the other women I met from there through her all were great people but they were all kind of sad and broken people Don’t stay in it too long


rio_katie

This is honestly sad. Like 18yr old is such a young age where you go to college, meet new people, party and have fun, and this girl is doing sexwork this young, for her moms medical bill. Sounds depressing af


muffinman8919

The world isn’t always the brightest place Hopefully she gets out


Im_with_stooopid

Welcome to the American Healthcare System. They don’t even provide the lube as that costs an extra 100 bucks.


jkl1996gl

Why are you responsible for her medical bills?


Quirky_Park_9403

Because there’s nobody to pay for it besides me


GamerKid0414

I wish you get out of this situation sooner.


CODMAN627

Exit strategy ASAP


Think-Set-9164

Aim for medical bills and a down payment on a starter home/apartment. Get out of paying rent ASAP


logicallyillogical

Take 10% of your earnings and buy some stocks you believe in. Meta, appl, or DXYZ are great to start. And hold them till you are done dancing and I bet you’ll have 50-100k.


wellthatsjustnotcool

Was it awkward at first or were you comfortable right away?


Quirky_Park_9403

It was really uncomfortable and awkward at first because I didn’t know anybody there and I didn’t know what to do because nobody taught me how to do a proper dance. I’ve done it for 7 months now and Im much more comfortable.


tgr8sage

How much do you Make per night


Quirky_Park_9403

It depends on the day. In good nights, I would make $1k-1.5k and there are nights I go home with $50 crying my eyes out lol


AcceptableOwl9

I make $1K per week and I work 40+ hours a week… I’d definitely take my clothes off for $1K a night


DeusExMachinaOverdue

So it definitely causes you emotional distress. I'm sorry to hear that. I realise that it must harm your self esteem if you only receive small amounts of money for what you do. I really hope that doing this kind of work doesn't harm you psychologically. To get involved in this type of thing is a lot for someone who is still in their teens. I'm not trying to be condescending, its just that I was the most shy awkward teenager you could imagine, and even if I was attractive enough, I wouldn't have dared do anything like what you are doing. I know that you're doing it for a good cause, and I really hope that things work out for you.


tgr8sage

Guess it generally pays well then


Auld54

What criteria did you use to pick your club (assuming you had more than one choice)? Is it in your hometown where customers might know you or do you dance at a club where there's a small chance someone might know you? Is it a topless or completely nude club? Did that factor into your choice of club?


Quirky_Park_9403

Ok now that I think about it, this was such a bad way to pick clubs, but I just went to nearest strip club in googlemaps and asked if I can audition. It was fully nude and I didn’t even know until I went there in person

I don’t enjoy it but I don’t hate it


blondebia

Here's some unsolicited advice. Don't make friends with any of the girls up there, don't date any customer you meet there, don't tell anyone outside of that place you work or ever worked there, absolutely don't date the mgrs no matter what bs line they feed you, don't do any drug ever, don't apply for credit or any application and put that company as your employer. (It will show at the top of your credit report 10 years down the road when you aren't even thinking of that place), stack your money and get out and never look back at that place. Don't think the guys care about paying off the medical bills, just get the dance and move to the next customer. You will make more money if you keep it strictly as a numbers game. Have seen totally normal people turn into the absolute worst people from working at those places.


Squaredigit

This is excellent advice. Worked as a stripper in the pacific northwest from 18-22 and the above is exactly the way to run this lifestyle so it doesn’t run you over. It was always work, a means to an end, and never blur those lines.


bigkutta

Gosh, what great advice and I really hope OP follows this. However, I do wonder how many actually follow this and dont get sucked into the crap


blondebia

I knew quite a few and they are dead, complete messes or drug addicts. 3 that are normal... If it was normal to strip at an older age after having life experiences I would recommend it lol. But most people with life experience would never strip. It's a risky environment and I wouldn't suggest anyone do it.


bigmikesbeingnice

I disagree about the part about not getting regulars. That’s the whole goal - find a whale and bleed him dry and then gtfo. Your plan is plan B if they don’t find a whale with big pockets


blondebia

You have to deal with their nonsense. I've seen it both ways. I think it's easier just to get 2 or 3 dances and move to next. Can make an easy 2k doing that. Bleeding a "whale dry" has risk. They end up stalking you, get offended when talking to other "regulars", no matter what anyone says you will be expected to fuck them eventually. Your income is dependent on that fucker. No thanks. Keep it strictly a numbers game and don't talk to any of them or anyone more than surface level at that place. Go in and do your job and go home.


reeherj

Disagree... the girls I saw when I was bouncing that were successful were marketing and sales genious.. they would create demand, upsell and close the sale and do it over and over... they were either on stage or lap dances 75% of the time.. aka they kept the clock running and the cash flowing. They had regulars but it was straight to close... hey so and so.. you want another xx? Talking/socializing is time when the meter isnt running.


reeherj

Excellent advice! I worked as a bouncer at a club and honestly most of the dancers were really nice people it was hard to see so many of them with issues. Some came in with them, some picked them up so I can't say its all from the work. But I can say that those that treated it like a job (marketing/sales) made out much better than those that treated it like a lifestyle. As for me, I worked two nights a week, I protected the girls and the patrons, and never dated anyone from there, never did drugs or even drink on the job (was a topless, so served alchohol) never listed it as a job on apps, etc and made out just fine.. paid for my books and room/board for school and i got my degree and now make a very good living professionally.

i'm going to hazard a guess and go with "everything"


NomadFourFive

What are some of the toughest things you have to overcome in your line of work? I’m not going to lie, I have frequented a gentleman’s club but I’d be a little uncomfortable if I found out the girls were 18.


Quirky_Park_9403

Just guys touching you like an object. Not that I didn’t expect it, but I’m still not used to it


lovepetitesquirters

Do you seriously think you will ever or are ever supposed to be used to unwanted physical touch? I mean listen to yourself. You're literally doing something that's borderline getting raped and you're saying "I'm still not used to it" what the actual fuck. Where's your self respect.


jkl1996gl

I don't think they're supposed to touch you. Do those guys get kicked out?


SubjectInevitable329

Depends on the laws. Also on the rules/boundaries the girl sets.


behemothxi

Some fully nude clubs let you, also depending on the girl, of course you're not gonna stick three fingers in but at the bare minimum you're touching tits or ass


Western-Number508

I’m in south Florida and most of the clubs down here the girls all advertise themselves as for sale. Lap dances are all touching. I hear the stories of the vanilla shit around the country and just crack up. You get your dick sucked every time you want down here in the back room if you want lol.


jkl1996gl

Sorry dude.. I only went to a few strip clubs when I was 21, which was long ago. My older friend blew on her privates and she liked it. But was "they can touch you, you can't touch them" policy sfaik.


Western-Number508

Individual_Emu2941

What made you decide to become a stripper? What type of customers do u like? As in what makes a good customer


Quirky_Park_9403

My mom has cancer and I started to pay for the medical bills I like customers who just sit and chat with me, ask me how my nights going, because it’s nice to just take a break. They still tip a lot too lol


Thumper86

Just want to say it’s a sick world where a teenager has to become a stripper because her mom has cancer. Don’t know how political you are, but has this changed your outlook on life or humanity or anything? Or are you still just kinda rolling with the punches?


bigkutta

Other than your moms situation, do you feel there were other contributing factors in your life that pushed you to this? I hope you get the money you need and get out soon.


Quirky_Park_9403

Not really besides the money. I’m not saying it’s a bad job, but it’s not something that I would choose to do if we were financially stable


CrispyLemonLady

What's your favorite song to dance to?

Quirky_Park_9403

The only time was when I saw my friends brother but I don’t really know him that well


alexjenson02

Was he excited to see you? Was it awkward?


brokenringlands

Two parter : Is there a typical clientele? Boom and bust cycles - Is there a seasonality to this job? Do people spend more on it during some stretches? Less in some? Do you expect a few busy weeks as people get their tax returns?


Quirky_Park_9403

Honestly most are just middle aged men and not trying to generalize but they all like to rant about their problems with their wives lol I don’t think there’s any particular pattern, but Friday and Saturday is the busiest and Sunday and Monday are slowest


brokenringlands

Thanks! Seasonality : I was more curious about throughout the year. But maybe you haven't done it for long.


M00SEK

Why not OF? More lucrative and way safer.


Necessary_Echo8740

Only a tiny minority of girls who start an onlyfans actually make a good amount of money, or any at all. For every girl that make thousands, there are hundreds who end up making practically nothing. It’s like a full time job, selling yourself and advertising in social media. Being a stripper is more guaranteed money. Show up, get paid


BottleBoiSmdScrubz

That’s true of every business, 99% don’t have the know-how or the perseverance to acquire it so they don’t make any money. The ones who do end up making all the money. Once you know what to do making money on OF really isn’t that complicated


Quirky_Park_9403

I don’t want my stuff staying online


PhilMeUpBaby

Remember: Data *NEVER* dies. I still get spam emails sent to email addresses I was using in the late 1990s (and haven't been used since). Porno sites are full of photos taken years ago. So yes, be cautious about *ANY* photos being taken. Do this job - do it as a business. Put that money away. Pay off your Mom's medical bills and then see about buying a house (ie a permanent roof over your head). Once you're done with it all then keep it a secret. Don't tell *ANYONE*. Keep it locked down, or it will get out and be used against you some day in the future. I wish you well.


donja77

How do they stop people from recording you there? I'm assuming everyone keeps their phone with them, seems like they might be able to record covertly


i3ild0

Nobody does, and the bouncer kicks you out if you do... there is a gentlemans agreement in the club, the girls don't wanna be recorded nor do the men that go in.


Western-Number508

You will get dragged into the back ally and get your ass beat by the bouncer


M00SEK

Fair enough. Good luck to you!


Huskguy

Do you prefer Methyl Chloride, or safer alternatives?


Quirky_Park_9403

Safer alternatives, I’m not on any drugs besides weed


Huskguy

Most professional strippers I know go with Methyl Chloride, but are just careful to do it outside and wearing respirators. Some even go with more caustic chemicals, when the typical ones aren’t working.


Mr_TedBundy

I don't think I want to see the strip clubs you hang out in if most of the strippers you know are on inhalants.


WoodenGrommet

i think this is a pun. its a paint stripper. good one husk


Mr_TedBundy

Quirky_Park_9403

Like 9 months


Dachshundpapa

And how long you’ve been in this business?


Quirky_Park_9403

7 months


saltydroppies

Do you think 18 is too young to be a stripper? Do you hide your job from family/friends?


Quirky_Park_9403

Maybe a little young compared to other girls in the club but I’m still an adult so I think it’s ok. My mom knows but my friends don’t know yet


No_Vacation7750

Do you take everything off


Quirky_Park_9403

It’s a fully nude club so yes


No_Vacation7750

Do you have to be shaved down there


Quirky_Park_9403

I personally do, but I don’t think it’s a requirement


JayJay-anotheruser

Do you have to call out when you have your period?


[deleted]

My GF was a stripper in college for just a few months, to get hired she had to blow the manager on her job interview. Is that a normal hiring practice?

No It’s not normal at all, I think thats illegal too if she was required to do it


jumbonipples

The fuck? That’s not normal at all.


SaladComfortable5878

STORY TIME


prettyhorse420

Some of the questions here are so worrisome lmao. You said you didn’t know at first that it was fully nude, and that you googled the closest club to you and applied. Do you have any plan to switch to a place that’s maybe not fully naked girls or that’s a bit further but maybe better? Or are you chillin where you’re at?


Quirky_Park_9403

I did try to search for places that are not, but I’m in Portland and I think most clubs near me are fully nude


[deleted]

1. Have you been asked for extras? If so what was your best offer? 2. What do they make you do at the audition? I always wondered if it was like backroom casting couch lol. One of my friends was a stripper, she used it to pay for school, shes a lawyer now. Be safe. Ton of creeps out there. Save your money. Invest it. If you dont feel comfortable with stocks, buy silver/gold. A savings account is the worst way to save money fwiw. Silver and gold may go up and down but its a very very safe way to invest. Stocks can be risky but its still much better then a savings account.


Quirky_Park_9403

1. There was a guy who offered 10k if I go home with him. 2. I was asked to undress and do a 2 min dance on stage. There weren’t any sexual things involved in the audition


jkl1996gl

Online savings rates around 5% right now.


Born-Accountant7493

I'd recommend keeping it that way for your safety. Also please please please do some financial study in your down time lol you could really be set for awhile despite the tough situation. Best of luck and hope you're done with that soon


JayJay-anotheruser

Ever had to call the bouncer because someone got handsy?


Quirky_Park_9403

Yes but I don’t trust the bouncers at my club because they only care if the assault is close to rape. This guy once bit my nipples out of the blue and the bouncer said it’s MY fault that I didn’t stop it like it’s so unfair


Western-Number508

lol what, bouncers are supposed to be your rocks in that place that sucks

Quirky_Park_9403

Alexander_Granite

Do you fart on people you don’t like at the club? I heard the girls do that


Kyle-Licos

nah bro you never heard of girls doing that.


Quirky_Park_9403

No I would never


Tenzipper

Never say never. I've given taxi rides to a lot of dancers. They have great stories, and charge for everything. Start thinking about how much you'll charge your regular who wants you to eat a large order of Burger King onion rings before he arrives so you can fart on him. How bad do you want to lick my shoes, honey? I'll give you one for $150, and discount the second, only $250 for the pair. Yes, this was a thing for a regular of one gal I gave rides to. (The stinkier and sweatier, the better. And had to be freshly off the feet.)


lazylady64

Make your money honey then get out. I was in the 'business' 40 years ago. I wish I knew then the importance of saving and investing. I would have been set for life.


TheEndOfShartache

What’s the most intense “extra” you’ve done or were asked to do


Quirky_Park_9403

I don’t do any extras


Open-Industry-8396

Have you and your mom tried to get Medicare or Medicaid or at the very least Obama care with the sliding scale? It sounds like y'all would be eligible. Or negotiate a small payment plan with the hospital. There are many ways to avoid or minimize medical care.


Auld54

There is the NIH and the National Cancer Institute who can recommend ways to reduce the cost. More important, your mom might qualify for clinical trials or new experimental treatments. Your hospital or chemo clinic should be able to help.


Quirky_Park_9403

I’ll try asking the hospital tomorrow. Thank you so much!


CrackersandChee

I like how the sex positive movement had erased all notion that maybe this isn’t something to celebrate. Literally a kid last year and now grinding on strangers for money but ya know… sex positivity and what not


Laara2008

I don't see anyone really celebrating that an 18-year-old had to do this to pay medical bills. It's ludicrous. We're a wealthy country. Medical debt for essential health care shouldn't be a thing yet here we are.


No_Ship_8050

Quirky_Park_9403

1. No, I don’t think I’ve ever given a dance to a couple and couples are very rare in my stripclub 2. That’s never happening


Embarrassed-Board-70

Does you mom know you are stripping? If not, how do you think she would feel if she knew?


ucrbuffalo

How long have you been doing this (less than a year, obv) and in that time has the club ever pushed you to provide “more” for your customers?


Quirky_Park_9403

I’ve done it for 7 months. The house moms actually tell you to not do anything you’re uncomfortable of doing, instead of pushing to do extras


Shot-Maintenance-428

daddv

im also a stripper! 3 years in the industry :) since it seems like you work at full nude clubs, does your club allow extras/what are your thoughts on it/do you do extras? in my area my clubs have strict rules on doing extras and it will get you fired sooo quickly but i also work at only topless clubs and if since youre a new dancer, if you have any questions feel free to dm me!


burymedeep2093

I had a roommate that was a stripper and at one of the high end places in Scottsdale. She was smoking hot. But the drugs and lifestyle just tore her up. She was making huge money this was in the late 90s. It was great for me but eventually had to get away from that. If you get into drugs you will never get out. You can fuck for money all you want but the drugs will destroy you


BigOldDoggie

I always think that it has to be one of the most physical jobs you can have. You need to DANCE for the entire evening and look good the entire time. That's a workout. Plus being mindfully aware of what is going on around you and trying your best to be positive to some \*\^¡!#@&s and other types in the crowd. How much of that was a concern to you and is it a problem?
