I am a ten year veteran of the strip-clubs. I was very moved by the honesty in your stories about customers. I have always thought that there is a hidden humanity in the relationships between dancers and their customers. We tell eachother the biggest lies mixed in with the most painfully honest moments.
Your stories were beautiful.
Thank You

Fascinating piece-exceptionally real that I wanted to read
more. I empathized with the realism it portrays and felt
a sympathy towards the human condition when I read about the
people. The photography complimented it nicely- hope to see
more of your work out there like this.

As a live-cam grrl I find it really interesting that I have the exact same stories to tell (I do two-way com on request). And yes, I have also manipulated my nose to arouse someone with that particular fetish. It escapes me though...I really dont understand why some people like what they do. Fortunately I don't HAVE to understand; I need only to be sympathetic.

In any case, even on the internet where viewers can be completely anonymous if they choose...I am NOT left with the feeling that they are generally 'sick' or 'weird.' Ok, there are some exceptions, but overall...sex is sex. Obviously men will pay women to act out things they deem inappropriate in a regular relationship. I think they may have a sense of safety in the thought that these women are 'being naughty, too'.

In the photographs...I thought it was really affective that often there was a glimpse of the performer...in the reflection, but never whole...it is afterall undeniably objectification. A woman as 'parts' or woman as a 'role'. Objectification isnt always a demon, sometimes it's just lucrative.

I had that freaking Ruler guy, holy shit, I'd forgotten all about him! I also had a guy who'd watch me manipulate my nose while he jerked off and stared up my nostrils, he was my favorite because I didn't have to take off my clothes. Ahh, this makes me so nostalgic but I can't tell what I miss so much if it was by turns so awful and funny and ridiculous. I worked with Cammie. I wrote a literary novel about my experience called "Flesh Hell". I think that about sums it up.

Have to admit that I found the story very interesting.I went to the Lusty Lady when I visited SF on busines.
Always wondered what those women were thinking
