Touchy Topic - Male Strippers

Topic as submitted - What do you think about male strip shows in Barbados?

I assume the basis of this question is weather or not I condone male strip shows or men performing for women for money.

With the economy going downhill and the cost of living spiking, bills, rent, debt, kids, increase not just the need for money,but the urgency of the need. 

Men and women alike have discovered the two most needed commodities are still food and entertainment**, and yes, for many people sex falls under the category of entertainment. 

The wage for an exotic dancer far exceeds the minimum wage offered by today's employers and allows for a far more comfortable way of life. However, people do not choose their money making professions based only on their financial needs and the ability or inability to handle them, they also choose based on moral conviction and are likewise judged by the moral views of others.

People are inclined to believe it is only Christians or religious people who look down with disdain upon particular issues, based on the principles set by their religion. But believe me, I have met many a non- religious person, some who have never said a prayer or believe in a higher power that are strongly against smokers, drug users, strippers, homosexuals and prostitutes among other things. Everyone is fueled by their own personal idea of morality.

Stripping is generally seen as negative in the eye of society and is linked closely to prostitution, which is still illegal in many places (like Barbados) but tolerated. Sex and sexual acts have now become over publicized and constantly in our faces. 

The misuse, abuse and negative side effects of particular things are why they are made illegal. It is easy to say make the sale of sex legal, make weed legal, make cocaine legal - then we will be living in a world of high over sexed people unable to function. ANYTHING can become addictive and the overuse is what becomes bad for the body and/or mind in some form -be it salt, sugar, drugs or sexual acts and that is a fact to be greatly considered by the people who find themselves constantly flocking to strip shows to throw money on a stage or slip it down the crack of someone's butt.

Be also advised on what you may be really getting into, many women are unaware their buff, gyrating entertainer is really a homosexual or bi-sexual male. A heterosexual woman who may openly look down upon gay men may be very well sliding her hands down the oiled back of one at a strip show, or taking one home if overcome by a fit of lust. 

A group of strippers with their lawyer, went to court and fought for the right to be able to entertain women with strip dances and shows with the claim of being a "classy" operation that did not have nude performers and did not sell sex as an extra perk.

I have never been to a male (or female) strip show or club, nor do I desire to attend one. I have been accused of being stuck up, bougie and holier-than-thou and I don't care. To each his own. I know male (and female) strippers who are some of the nicest, sweetest people in the world, but I do not wish to have their derrieres in my faces among a group of screaming women.
My life experiences have enabled to me to understand a person's way of life without having to be a part of it.

 IF, however, my boyfriend decides to strip for me at home, I will run out and buy him a pole if his fine heart so desires.
