So, You Want to Hire a Stripper? Better Read This First!

I am not an exhibitionist. It makes me blush just to post this essay. But I thought you all deserved a warning of what male strippers are really like.

Thanks for the info. Since I've written this, I've realized that I don't think I would be attracted to any man who strips for a living. Not that I'm prejudiced or anything... ;)

Cheers,
Becky

You wrote: "If the stripper was unattractive, I don't think the men would be interested in her!"

I feel qualified to respond to this. I sometimes (probably 5-10 times a year) go to strip clubs and am only attracted to some of the women. Some turn me on, others turn me off. I would probably be a little less critical in a party setting, but who's to say? I've defintely seen women stripping that I felt ambivalent about.

I'd never even heard of this Keith Hamilton Cobb fellow until I Google searched him. He's definitely a lot more attractive than my stripper. Today, my friend Jen (the one who arranged the stripper) received a barber shop quartet for Valentine's Day. It was hilarious. 4 really really old men in trenchcoats. It was oddly reminiscent of the stripper debacle.

Thanks for your comment,

Happy Belated Birthday!!! (Reply to this comment)

Awlllllllll. . . I feel soooooooooooo sorry for your stripper! He must have felt soooooooooooo rejected that he probably went home, found his own teddy bear, and cried himself to sleep!

Guys (besides obvious choices of Johnny Angel and 29th_Candidate) who would make great strippers for me, should someone want to rent me one:

Keith Hamilton Cobb

Keith Hamilton Cobb

Keith Hamilton Cobb

Keith Hamilton Cobb

Keith Hamilton Cobb


and

Keith Hamilton Cobb

Oh yes! A certain adorable Kentuckian who writes here might be another possibility--actually, even better than Keith Hamilton Cobb and 29th_Candidate combined.

But the best one of all would be Johnny Angel.

One more thing--whichever one you choose for me should only strip down as far as a pair of white boxer shorts with big, red hearts on them!

However, I would consider exploring what lies beneath those boxer shorts if the wearer happened to be Johnny Angel--taking a raincheck for our wedding night!!!

(I really don't like this Johnny Angel fellow too much, do I!?!)

As for you, , ,I think I know a stripper you'd love to have at your birthday party anytime!!!

Not mentioning any names, but he was born on July 26, 1944!!!

Happy Belated Birthday!!!

That was a hilarious and humbling experience for you, no? LOL

Maybe you should just burn your "Let's Get It On" CD.

Thanks for the entertaining review!

And I'm gonna guess the stripper came from Tennessee...don't ask me why in the world why.

It is also extremely possible that he was from Lexington, Massachusetts. Bunch of freaks there!

Hmmm... I don't know about that. If the stripper was unattractive, I don't think the men would be interested in her! The stripper just wasn't my type. Or maybe men stripping just doesn't interest me in general. I like men, but they just look silly when they try to take off their clothes in a sexy way.

I'm from Jersey damn that's what I was going to say!

The difference between men and women is they can control their sexual desires... almost every man would enjoy a brainless stripper showing off her stuff.

You poor thing! I probably would have locked myself in the bathroom or something. LOL No way I would have made it thru like you did.

People always joke about getting their friends strippers for parties and such. Maybe they will think twice, especially if they're friend isn't an exhibitionist, either. :)

Great review!

You are correct, sir. That's exactly why I didn't put the word "male" in the title. 22 years has apparently made me wise. ;)

I don't want to hire a male stripper. But I guess if you'd put that in your title, you would have immediately cut your traffic in half...

Hilarious review.

Happy Birthday!

I would offer them (pictures) on this site, but they are copyright protected by my official male-stripper employer website. And I don't want to lose my stripper job - they make you give everything back, even the G-String! I'd have nothing to strip down to ... So I guess then I would have to become a Male Putter on of Clothes (which, surprisingly, seems to be often requested of me). I could possibly get those pictures up some time. I don't wear socks in them though, that's my erotic angle.

And when I'm listening to "Everybody Dance Now" I'm really thinking about T.S. Eliot's classic poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" and comparing it to the earlier poems of Ezra Pound in terms of how relevant each is in a post-modern context. Of course, I am also gyrating like a mad man at the time.

It ain't easy being me.

Slick Willie has pasty, white thighs according to Bill the Cat.

Eww. Eww! Eww!!! I am trying to erase that image from my mind.

That's a really good guess! Rhode Island and New Jersey are somewhat similar now that I think about it.

Mike,
I will post the pictures of me and my stripper when you post some of you with a stipper and/or you as a stripper. I think that's a fair deal. ;)

Tragically, I won't be able to celebrate tonight since it's a Monday and I'm in Connecticut and everyone has lots of schoolwork to do. :( The biggest partying of the night will be watching The Daily Show. Jon Stewart is the coolest New Jersey-ite ever. But I don't think I'd want him to strip for me either...

Later,
Becky

Haha. Funny that you mention Bill because the weekend before the stripper incident, we hosted a Bill Clinton Going Away Party at our house. We provided cigars and posted pictures of the Clintons and Monica Lewinsky all around the room.

Oh, you guessed New Jersey, too!! Cool, well, I'll give you a shout-out on my page, too. Especially since you said I was one of your favorites! I want to see some Chad pics, too. Bring 'em on, boy!

LOL. Chad, you are a riot! I read this before going to class this morning, and I couldn't pay attention because you got "Everybody Dance Now" stuck in my head. Good thing I was on my way to my favorite class-- Step Aerobics! :) If you were actually my stripper, I'm sure it would have been a lot more... tolerable(?).
Thanks for making me laugh!

At best, it was good for a laugh at the expense of the guest of honor.

Actually, I think my friends were just as embarrassed as I was!
