Your first time visiting a strip club can be (very) exciting, a sensual treat to say the least, overloaded with expectations! We understand how it feels to set your foot inside a strip club. There is probably so much happening within that there’s no way you can bottle those emotions up! But the excitement is worth experiencing! The flickering lights, the deafening music where you can hardly listen to your thoughts (and that’s how it’s meant to be so that you leave your worries outside the door), and… the Bold & Beautiful divas! It’s a treasure trove of scintillating experiences.

But unlike pubs and bars, you need to have some idea as to how not to ruin your first time and be aware of the basic etiquettes. It will only add to your memorable experience (and save you from getting banned from any strip bar)!

1. Dress Code

First things first! Step one will be to keep your sweatpants at home!

Wear something elegant that makes you appear classy, smart, and with esteem. If you dressed formally for your workplace, feel free to wear the same outfit at the strip club. You might wanna loosen up the tie a bit though! If it’s something more casual – like Tees, basic sneakers, jeans – then that look will be a total hit as well!

Trust us when we say the exotic dancers adore good clothing! However, you do not have to look “serious” with your style.

2. What Not To Wear

Slippers, flip-flops, and sandals are not permitted in most strip clubs. In addition, most strip clubs deem tank tops to be completely inappropriate. You cannot wear your workout or running clothes to a strip club. If you’re wearing torn denim, sweatpants, or open-toed sneakers, you’re not going to have a good time in a strip club and you may not receive a warm welcome.

3. Going On The Stage

In the movies, all it takes is a seductive glance to have you shaking it on stage, but in reality, you can’t just crawl up there until a dancer invites you. If you decide on the spur of the moment that you might manage things differently, you’ll get kicked out. To begin with, you can’t.

4. What is the customary tipping procedure?

In reality, certain activities, such as tipping and touching, differ greatly. Check the code of ethics displayed on the premises or question the staff. Instead, you offer them cash tips while they stroll along, usually stuffing the money in their tops or thongs.

5. What about touching?

You can’t simply go about touching the girls’ bodies. If an intoxicated stranger groped you, you’d be shocked, right? Just because a stripper is who she is doesn’t mean you should take advantage of her in ways you wouldn’t normally. Consider her a female outsider on the street who is wearing less clothes. Will you try to touch the breast of any woman shopping next to you?

6. Is it expected of me to tip even though you’re on stage?

Although it’s the appropriate thing to do and it goes along way. Tipping the ladies on stage isn’t expected from everyone

7. Do Not Throw Change. It makes one look pretty dumb!

Some jerks toss lose coins around. That’s (horrifyingly) inappropriate and says so much about someone, too. Use notes instead.

8. Is it okay to take a photo?

Perhaps! A polite request would go a long way! A photo is worth a thousand words, but taking one without permission is a misdemeanor in most jurisdictions, punishable by a couple of hundred dollars in penalties or legal fees.

9. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s okay to decline a dance invitation.

If you’re not interested it’s perfectly okay to say no. Remember that taking money is her business, but she is unlikely to leave after three or four minutes. There’s no need to feel guilty for being done for the night as long as you’re POLITE.

10 . The laws always apply, even though it’s YOUR Wild Night Out.

Each strip club has its own set of guidelines. You must follow them otherwise you would be considered insensitive and will be kicked out!

11. What are we going to talk about?

Just about anything you want! But avoid ranting about your spiteful ex, or how worried you are about your son’s future, and definitely not something like why you can’t afford to get your boat out on the water this year!!

Simply refrain from being racist, sexist, homophobic, or misogynistic. Those are best saved for the confession booth. Alternatively, you might wanna meet your therapist instead.

12. “What’s your real name, by the way?”

Stripper aliases exist for a variety of purposes. One, for the dancer’s personal welfare, since many members aren’t as open-minded as you would be. In addition, their name distinguishes each one of them from the others.

13. The stripper is at her workplace!

Respect that! Even though there’s lot of mood lighting and she’s all up on you. Don’t forget it’s her job!!

14. What would I do if I’m aroused?

We understand. But we recommend keeping your hands to yourself and your tongue inside your mouth. Heavy breathing and soft moans are just part of my routine. Clients getting erect in strippers’ chairs is nothing new to them. And the only thing to do is take a deep breath and relax.

17. Strip clubs aren’t all about the nightlife.

Have you ever seen a movie in which a bachelor party visits the strip bar in broad daylight? It is, after all, a choice if you are daring enough.
