"Message" parlors are almost always worse. In Strip Clubs, women prostitute themselves on the side, but it's willingly.

Message parlors? Plenty of prostitution, not so much doing it willinglly.

Not really. A stripper can make alot of money, such that they don't need to be hookers. They get paid better for their time stripping, doing $20 3 minute table dances, and scamming the customer for $200 champain, seriously.
Strip club owners are also very wary of getting busted. See those huge bouncers at the clubs? One of their jobs is to keep their dancers in line and legal, keep drugs out, etc. Being busted or closed down means, again, lose of money.
Sure some illegal activity happens at the sleazier clubs, but it's a business. Strip clubs and strippers make more money staying legit, and they spend most of their legal funds just trying to stay open from the politicians or DA's trying to make a political statement - changing morality and zoning laws. They are constantly fighting this in courts - constitutional defenses for the zoning changes, not rackaterring or prostitution charges.

...metro Atlanta’s exotic and nude clubs generate $240 million annually, more than the city’s three major sports teams combined.

The problem is that we have the government telling us how to live. We don't need government making any kind of rules or laws at all regarding strip clubs.

Why do people think we need government telling us how to live????

True, strippers CAN make a lot of money. Just like a waiter or bartender CAN, make a lot of money. If you're working at some big time place with people who tip big.

But for your average everyday ***** bar down the street, I doubt the talent is pulling into work driving a Mercedes. Any prostituting they do would strictly be on the side, and I never said they were doing it in a club.

There is absolutely no connection between strip clubs and cheating on your wife.

In fact, I suspect that the opposite is true.

I would go for the fun of it, probably get drunk myself, and hope my husband was not having too much fun. I have never been, the girls would not bother me, i have a great personality, and would probably make the girls laugh.

A lot of women i believe equate Strip-Clubs to cheating men, problem being is that the Men have probably already started cheating, if they are going into the clubs. I happen to know a few men who work and visit the clubs, but to vent steam beause of their jobs, what happens after that, well it is their business. Life is short, perhaps hubby and I should visit one, then i will know for sure.

Thanks about the Mob situation, i guess it use to be where the mobs owned must strip joints.
The places I go to would be the opposite. There is no chance of a dancer going home with your husband as most have boyfriends and husbands theirselves. The main benificiary is typically your wife or girlfriend at the end of the night anyway.

In my younger days, I "investigated" a few strip clubs. Quite rewarding and eye opening.

First get this straight, i don't give a damn being a women, i am telling you from what i here first hand how some women Do really feel. They have told me this.

You can frequent all the strip clubs you want my guess, i don't give a damn. Women i do know, have told me personally they assoicate strip-clubs with cheating, not saying i do, coming from other women.
I care more about the crime, then anything else, i here things.

Maybe it is the way strip clubs on portrayed on the movies, that give women these feelings, but still i do not care. It is the crime that may be assocaited with the clubs.
