i know. i find that whole attitude insane! i'd laugh if my man forbade me looking at another man. it's just silly. of course you still want to look at beautiful bodies even after you're married. it's not cheating as some women like to think, it's entertainment. but if the lady has a serious problem with it, maybe he should cut down.

I completely agree. Each couple has to define what works for them in a relationship. I would never be able to deal with a husband that was insanely jealous of vice versa.

Nothing wrong with going to a strip joint, but I'd have a problem if it was very frequent. BTW, I never understood why "gentlemen clubs" never allowed unaccompanied females or is it just Texas? There was one that did pretty good surf n turf for something like $4.00, but the drinks were 4 times the usual cost. It beats going to Red Lobster for lunch.

Looking at someone else is one thing. Going to strip clubs is another.

I can maybe see him going once, for a special occasion like his birthday or something, but for him to just be going with the guys, ha! Fat chance!
If I`m not good enough for him to look at, then he sure wouldn`t be going to strip joints, in order to get his kicks from other women.

Somebody repped me saying that an "immature man goes to strip clubs". This has to be one of the stupidest things I've read.

Back to the discussions at hand, it's sad the level of insecurity women have. As if a man simply seeing another woman will make him leave her. If he loves you, he isn't going anywhere. If simply looking at another woman will make him leave, he's gone anyway. Why would you want a man like that? I want a man who is with me because he wants to, not because he feels he has no other options.

HA! I wasn't going to say anything but then you did! I've never been with my husband. I think he'd be the one uncomfortable with me going, that's how he acts anyway. Like I said before, he's only been twice in our 5 yrs. of marriage and it doesn't bother me as it's just a guy thing. I want to try Shotgun Willie's prime rib special. I bet it's fun in there. My guy always told me about going first too and I guess that's why it was no big deal for me, it's not like he's lying or sneaking around. And I don't view it as a sign of non-commitment.

Whether or not hanging out in a strip club is normal is completely subjective. What isn't normal is for a husband to behave in a manner that hurts his wife. You have told him how much this bothers you, right?

The "unaccompanied females" in strip clubs have a funny way of being prostitutes, so this is discouraged to keep the fuzz out of the club's hair. Uh, I guess you know what I mean.

It's funny to me how the man's decision to not go to strip clubs suddenly becomes the wife's fault. My husband went to one strip club, once before I ever met him. He didn't like it. His decision has nothing to do with me. His viewpoint on it is why pay to be teased when I can have the real thing any time I want to.

Makes sense to me.

AND women who do not want their husbands to go to a strip club are not insecure, they are confidant enough to tell them that if they want to go stare at other naked women they have to do it as a single guy.

And for the record, my husband was the one who brought up marriage, I actually never thought about wanting to get married. Yes, immature, childish men are terrified of marriage, but those who are grown up and have already seen what else the world has to offer them are very happy to tie the knot.
