That answer was a bit tongue-in-cheek. :p If my guy had any sort of inappropriate relations with a stripper (and I define that as anything from touching on--if he looks, well, whatever, that's what strippers are for, I guess), then he's definitely not good enough for me and he'd be gone pronto. I don't like strippers.

So what if he receives a lap dance and keeps his hands to himself? He's "touching" for all practical purposes, but what's the real difference between the type of contact that occurs during a lap dance and other types of sexual contact?

-- I guarantee you, if there is a stripper, there is most likely a lap dance involved for the guest of honor. Check that, not "most likely", I would absolutely guarantee it.

A lap dance is a lap dance. C'mon, even I've had one of those and they're not all that shocking. As long as he's not having any real contact with the varmint...er, stripper, it's all good.

On second thought, though...I'm sure if my boyfriend and I were ever in this situation, it'd be a moot point. He likes strip clubs for about 10 minutes, then wants to go somewhere more quiet and get a pint.

James, I didn't know I had any left to lose! :cool:

At almost every strip bar that has a policy of no-contact . . there is.

But I agree with you Jocelyn that not allowing men to go is silly.

I always find it amusing when people get really excited about going to strip clubs. To me, I've never found strip clubs to be erotic. Hilarious yes, but not arousing.

There's this sense of unreality about the whole thing and the feeling that it's no different than watching a movie with nudity.

I don't think it's fair to call all women who are anti-stripper "insecure". For example, I can think of several religious women who would not be comfortable with strippers at their fiance's batchelor party. It's not because they are afraid the other women look better than them... it's because they think it is morally wrong.

What's unholy about strippers?

If you believe a woman wearing a sleeveless dress is morally wrong, I'd wager you're going to have a problem with someone wearing nothing but tassels on her nipples.

How is a sleeveless dress unholy?

It's not unholy to me or you, but I went to school with a girl whose religion forbade her from cutting her hair, wearing pants/shorts, and wearing sleeveless tops, among other things. She'd probably think it was unholy.

Opposing the sexual objectification of a strange woman by her fiance (days before she enters into a marriage covenant with him and the Lord) does not equal crazy lady who doesn't wear pants or cut her hair. :rolleyes:

What WOULD be OK about strippers from a religious standpoint?

I don't know. I am not sure that Christianity as outlined in the teachings of Jesus really has a problem with strippers.

However, I think a lot of people, especially women, have used various scriptures to censor women all through out human history.

LOL! Something about being a stumbling block...
