I had a pretty good experience at a strip club a few weeks ago and thought I'd share! 43/m.

Prior to this, I hadn't been to a club in 16 years, so I didn't know what to expect. I found a comment from the owner on a Google review that said prices for the champagne room were usually $200 but ranged up to $300, depending on the girl. That comment was a few years old. I brought $400 cash and no cards. I actually withdrew $500 but at the last minute decided to see what I could do with less.

Got there around 11 p.m. and paid the $20 cover. The girls on stage were wearing pasties. It was crowded because it was a Saturday night, so I had to stand at first. There was a seat open at the tip rail, but my smallest bills were fives, and I didn't want to be expected to tip every dancer. The first girl to catch my eye was Girl A, who was working the floor. She had long, black hair and black-rimmed glasses. Very cute. She was occupied with other customers most of the night.

Girl B took the stage, and she was also my type, so I sat down and tipped her.

Later, while standing, I got approached by a girl who I declined (not my type), but then Girl C offered me a dance, and I accepted. She led me back to the semi-private room. While we waited for the next song to start, she talked a little. The music was loud, and I kept saying "what?" which made me feel old and awkward.

As soon as she started dancing, she told me touching was allowed. I put my hands on her hips, because that's what was allowed last time I'd been to a club. She immediately took my hands and guided them up to her breasts. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! I mostly kept my hands on her chest for a while, and then she took one and moved it up to her neck. She squeezed my hand a little, like she wanted me to squeeze her neck. I think I laughed nervously and shook my head. What's the correct amount of pressure to apply to a stripper's neck? My gut said zero. She said, "Come on! Be bad! Nobody's watching us." Not true, of course, but it was fun to hear. I didn't squeeze. Looking back, maybe I should've asked her to demonstrate on me first! Anyway, I bought a second dance from her, which was also fun. I gave her $60. (The base price was $25 per dance.) I'm now thinking that I should've given her more because of all the contact. She asked if I wanted to go to the champagne room for $350. I didn't have that much left, so I declined. In any case, I felt like I'd rather pace myself.

I saw Girl B sitting with a customer for a bit. Girl A took a turn on the stage, and I tipped her. She bounced in my lap for a few seconds.

Later, I saw Girl D standing around and thought she was pretty, so I approached her for a dance. This dance wasn't as memorable. She didn't invite me to touch her, so I kept my hands at my sides. I just got one dance from her and gave her $30. She also asked if I wanted to go to the champagne room, but for $300. Again, I declined.

Once, all the dancers lined up and walked in a circuit that went around the club and up onto the stage. It seemed like there were two dozen, or maybe more?

Eventually some tables opened up, so I sat down. Girl A wandered nearby and seemed available. I waved at her and asked her for a dance. She sat in my lap and talked me into three dances for $100. I now understand that this was the final price (i.e., no tip expected beyond that), but at the time I wasn't completely sure. Again, the music was loud. But also, it was hard to think straight with a pretty girl in my lap.

This girl was great! She did a bunch of stuff that made it fun:

• She held my hand while we walked to the semi-private room, which the other girls hadn't done.
• Instead of telling me touching was allowed, she just put my hands on her body. They ended up on her breasts, and she didn't object.
• At one point, she put her hands on my chest and said something like, "Do you like this?" or "Is this okay?" I thought she was just asking if I liked the dance so far, so I nodded. But then she laughed and pinched my nipples, and I realized what her question meant. I wasn't mad.
• She nibbled on my earlobes, my cheek, and one of my nipples (through my shirt, of course).
• She knelt in front of me, with her face near my crotch, and "licked" the air in a silly way, apparently for laughs.
• She gave me Eskimo kisses.
• One of her pasties came off when she brushed against my shirt. I held it up, and she playfully scolded me and put it back on.
• I think she encouraged me to spank her a few times, but I might be confusing her with Girl C. (Not sure how I can forget something like this!)
• When the third dance was over, she asked me for a hug.

Because of my confusion about what I'd agreed to, I gave her $120. She handed $20 back to me. The only real downside to this girl was that she had garlic breath, which I didn't notice until she was dancing.

Back in the main room, around last call, I saw Girl B on stage again and tipped her. She kissed me on the cheek; I asked her for a dance. She told me to wait while she went back to the dressing room, but then the DJ announced the last song. I waited anyway, not really expecting to see her. When the DJ said "we are now closed," I left.

I had seen at least two other girls that I liked the look of, but time was up.

I was there for about three hours and spent $225, most of which I thought was worth it! I'm planning to go back at a less-busy time. I do want to try the champagne room.

I've also never bought a drink for a dancer, so maybe I'll try that. I'm not much of a talker, though. Plus, it seems like it'd be difficult to talk over the music at this place. (I'm actually considering wearing earplugs next time.)
