Like from what I understand you’re not allowed to touch the workers because then it becomes prostitution. So like. A bunch of boys just get together and sit down to watch some girls dancing naked? And they just kinda grin at each other and say “hey isn’t it awesome when there’s boobs?”

You can’t jerk off so they just go to get boners with their buddies? You can do that at home. You can just watch porn with the fellas or have a circlejerk.

I’ve never understood why it’s seen as a straight masculine thing to go to a place where the only thing you can do is get horny with other men.

        The sexy naked dancing thing was very fun! The coworkers ranged from wonderful stripper godmother to malevolent girl-next-door, but the talking to guys thing was the worst because most of them were assholes.

        I quickly found out that dudes that looked outside the clientele’s white redneck norm were better to talk to, though they usually didn’t have as much money. My favorite customers were the only black man I ever saw in there and a cutie beardo in a wheelchair - 20 years later, I still remember that they both talked to me like a person instead of tits on legs.

        Focusing on trying to have enjoyable conversations with men I didn’t instinctively hate made me pretty unsuccessful. The women who can lie convincingly to monsters really clean up!

    It’s a place where awful and socially maladjusted people go because they can’t get women that attractive to be pleasant to them in any other situation.

    Maid cafes in Japan fulfill the same purpose but without alcohol. Some offer after-hours “specials” that include erotic performance. An evolution of historic Geisha service.

    Hooters fulfills the same purpose again.

    It’s the same motivation in every version, there’s just a different presentation in style and act. They want feminine attention and they are willing to part with money to get it, typically they have fucked up views of women because of the lack of feminine attention or because of the fact they’re awful human beings. Power, patriarchy, misogyny, all wrapped up into one.
