…is this a thing? I was out of town on a trip and decided to stop in at a strip joint as none of the providers in the area I was in had any reviews on here and screamed scam or LE….one of the girls I got a dance from asked me if I “wanted to do more stuff after this.”  

Being an erotic dancer in the US is legal.  
Being a prostitute in the US is illegal.  

but it is probably more likely that she was simply asking if you wanted to do another (lap?) dance.   Otherwise she might have phrased it more like:   Would you like to get together somewhere after my shift is over?

You can go home with an exotic dancer for a phenomenal fee.

Of course this is a thing, lmao.  Damn near everyone is an escort, especially these days e.g. IG girls, strippers, pornstars, OF girls, etc.  There was even a board on this exact topic on another site.

Quick story, back in 2002 I was visiting a friend in New Orleans in between moving duty stations.  We went to a strip club and some of the most gorgeous women I've seen in a strip club were dancing.  Long story short, I got a dance with one and one thing led to the next.  I thought I was getting her phone number to possibly go out sometime, she was setting me up to pay for some ass, lmao.  We exchanged numbers, and when I hit her up the next day she disclosed that in order to play I would have to pay.  

solicited me over the years. It's pretty common. And I've yet to have any issues in a VIP room getting extras. I truly believe those cameras are there to supply material for the club manager to wank off to in the office 😉

Most escorts started out being strippers and even in some cases still do it on the side.I’ve been “solicited “ many times while in Vegas. But I’m sure what happened to you happens elsewhere.  
So yeah, it’s a thing

It’s a thing at many strip clubs. In my experience, it’s even more likely at all nude strip clubs. In some cases, you have ladies who solicit to meet you outside the club. They may or may not do this with the club’s knowledge. In other cases, they do it in house with the club’s full knowledge. They may even be under pressure to make this happen as the club is taking a piece the same way an agency or pimp might.  

i would have been cool with that if after hours she had quoted me a price…this girl was my type…she even said she visited my area to “see a guy” she met online for a “date.”

i was not a big fan of these clubs because you pay a lot for a buffet you are not allowed to eat at

My ATF started out as a stripper and was very proud to say she was the first one at the club taking guys out back to fuck them for pay.

Your post sounds like you haven't been in a strip club since "the '90's" and just read a really ignorant AI search result.

Well, once you get your feet wet in the escort world, it’s less exciting IMO. The idea of escorts was far from even a thought back in the late 90s and early 2000s. So I did frequent strip clubs. I actually got started in the late 80s while in my senior year of high school. These days, not so much.

There is zero AI involved. That’s all from my personal experience. I went to my first in the late 80s in my senior year of high school. It was this spot called Frank’s Chicken Shack in New Jersey. The front was literally a fried chicken take out joint. The back room was an all nude strip club. Since there’s no alcohol allowed at all nude clubs, at least back then in New Jersey, they allowed 18 and older in.

Wow. I guess a female patron would be rare but an obvious opportunity for a stripper so inclined

YEP!!! Good ol free spank bank material!!! LOL

fbi agents are concerned with possible sex acts for money occurring in strip clubs?  

Indeed, and you'd be surprised how many strippers are so inclined. I love being the one who can help a bi-curious woman explore her sexuality in a safe and non-judgmental way. I found many strippers to be bi, and I've met a surprisingly large number that identify as lesbian. It's a win-win all the way around 😁

My first P4P experience was in a strip club. I was at a rundown strip club in a shitty town in the middle of a recession. A girl jusy came up to me and offered to blow me in the VIP. I got a lot of blow jobs and banged a lot of strippers on that place. I exchanged numbers with a few of them and made arrangements outside the club. It was a great time.

I can count how many times I've been to a strip club on my two hands, but I can say that it's been 2x the amount going together with girls. They are the ones who want to go and I tag along. One of the girls is bisexual, another loves to watch beautiful women. Female patrons are more common than you think but it could also be related to the area or city that you are in.

Just curious, how is it that you know most escorts started out as strippers?  I guess it could be possible but I find it fascinating how much some of the guys in here know about things I've never heard the women say!  

Female patrons are more common in stripclubs either with a male companion or as part of a co-ed group. They also tend to visit topless places where they can get their drink (and liquid courage) on. Unfortunately I have yet to meet up with another solo female customer who prefers dayshift nude clubs. I know that I'm not the only one, but I'm definitely one of very very few female patrons who club the way I do. I'd love to meet more women who like to club the way that I do. Think of the damage we could do! 😁

The dancer we chose for the private room practically dragged my date into the VIP and gave her a more spirited lapdance than I ever got at that place. They were both having a moment. I'm highly confident we could have gotten the dancer to join us outside the club. Foolishly missed opportunity.

as it happens, when i went, a young couple was there…his girlfriend was throwing dollars bills at the girls she liked…

As long as I can remember if you were in a strip club and you played your cards right you could find out which ones were available outside of the club.  Even had a Sugar relationship with one for over six months that was amazing.  Regrettably got scared bad by one that was beyond crazy. She stole some money and when I accused her of it she threatened to call the FBI that I was passing counterfeit hundred dollar bills, call the police and say I raped her and all kinds of other crazy shit. Then again I've met some civies that were damn near that crazy

Some have invited me to see them perform.If you had a personality or even if you were a decent person, maybe they’d open up to you and tell.

So, your research brought YOU to the conclusion that most took this path based on "some" of them have invited you to watch them perform, lol.  Way to crunch the data!

Met a woman at a club to whom I was incredibly attracted. Saw her at the club several times and each time was better. Never any solicitation on her part, but became increasingly open about her life and circumstances. Convinced her to have dinner outside the club. Then a lunch, then another dinner. Turned into a sugar babe-type relationship that lasted for six years. Absolutely worth the effort. But she was never an escort (to my knowledge).

Or Maybe upgrade the company you keep, But my feeling is that most wouldn’t tell you if they did. You being the judgemental guy you are, they’d probably want you in and out and figure the less you know … the better

Yes it's called OTC, or Outside The Club.

and that's part of the reason that most dancers never approach couples. I feel bad for the couples that are at the club to play and the female half is more interested in getting dances than policing her bf.

This post reminds me of a place called Lilly's in Redwood City back in the 1980's. This was a porn theater with dancers different times of the day. They would present 3 dancers, they would come out nude and work the crowd around the stage allowing the patrons to feel her up, finger bang and even eat and kiss. For the most part, the girls were young and attractive. After each girl did her 3 songs, she would invite one patron up on stage for a blowjob and even a fuck if one moves fast enough during that 1 song. I was lucky a few times. One becomes accustomed to performing in front of a crowd.
