I'm surprised he didn't go one step further and explain to the girls how much more they could make by sucking off drunks in the alley between lap dances.

Rebecca 0 #9 January 14, 2005 Well, I suppose he was being honest about the money involved, but for a consultant talking about the secret of a happy life, he should have included the rest - the environment, the clientel, the coworkers, the inevitable lure of drugs and prostitution, and having to severely compromise your sense of self-worth, spirituality and morality. I don't think it's a big deal that he discussed dancing as a career, but it doesn't sound like he painted a realistic picture. It takes a lot more than money to live a happy life. (and no, for the pervs wondering, I'm not speaking from experience, though I have been to a few of these places, and I've seen enough: for most of these girls, if there's not a $$$ sign going "ka-ching" on whatever they're looking at, they don't see it.) you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

mr2mk1g 10 #10 January 14, 2005 But that's usually illegal. Stripping's usually perfectly legal. Laws are an expression of the moral standards held by society at large. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's true, he should have told them the pros and the cons... But that's true of any career. There are many jobs that could compromise your sense of self-worth, spirituality or morality that have nothing to do with the sex industry. And there are people who work in the sex industry that have not compromised any of those things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And there are people who work in the sex industry that have not compromised any of those things. Both true points - you can sell yourself out without taking your clothes off, and I'm sure there are jobs in the sex industry that are wholesome enough. My point though, is that even if you're a 'good girl' dancer, you're putting yourself in a position to be influenced, affected and hurt by the very unwholesome aspects of the environment and the people that are in it. That's not to say that perfectly nice, respectable people can't go to strip joint for the fun of it, but working there as a dancer will corrupt anyone without the strength of character to avoid the bad stuff. And if you have that strength of character and a moral compass to begin with, you probably won't be there anyway. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

But whoever said that the big bad world outside the USA (particularly Gough Island and Thse South Sandwich Islands) were safe? And let's be blunt. You will NEVER forget where Gough & the South Sandwich islands are!! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.
