Talk:Strip club

message: Want to add content about a few key things over the next week or so: what are the pieces and parts of a club, club norms, and some background (primarily U.S.) about the business side of things. If I get to it, might fill in a bit more on strip clubs in pop culture and the hobbyist subculture. Any other ideas? - Wallanon (talk) 03:27, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

message: The text below works in an article about the subject, but not so much as a paragraph in an article that is trying to cover the industry from a global perspective. Not exactly spam, but not a good fit right now.- Wallanon (talk) 06:09, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Is that true? Touching of genitals or breasts for money is probably considered prostitution, but other than that, why should touching be illegal? AxelBoldt 20:22, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been to strip clubs in the UK and there they allow the dancer to touch the client's genitals, while the client is allowed to initiate certain physical contact such as hand-holding and kissing, provided the dancer doesn't object of course.

thread_title:  Touching of strippers is illegal in most (wish it was all) states. 

message: There doesn't appear to be a List of Movies with Strip Club Scenes article. Could someone start a stub or article? Add redirects to the one of the two above links that the article is not called. (Darn members-only article creation keeps too much pornographic content off Wikipedia.)
There are WAY too many, especially since having a scene in a strip club was an easy way to get an R rating, back when the choice was between R and PG, and PG would ruin the movies box office chances. This is why virtually every police detective in an 80's movie ends up visiting a strip club.
Why? Seriously, that would be taken to [[WP:AFD|Articles for deletion] so quickly. ViridaeTalk 23:23, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: List of Strip Club Scenes in Movies?

message: I'll go to the University library in the next couple of weeks and try to find citations for some of the facts presented in this article. I think revenue figures may be difficult to find as I haven't found any on the web as of yet, but I'll check LexisNexis and other databases to see if I can find any estimated revenue data for clubs in America and abroad and find citations for other facts presented here.
Also, I'll work on the worldwide perspective for this article. Given that female toplessness and nudity is legal at the beach in some countries, particularly in Europe (Germany), and prostitution is legal in Germany and the Netherlands, I don't know how many strip clubs there are going to be in other countries. Strip clubs wouldn't be as numerous in America if such repressive attitudes toward public nudity didn't exist. It is possible that as a result of cultural differences, this article is going to lean heavily American.
I've got other articles on my to do list. But I'll be sure to work on this when I find the time in the ensuing days/weeks.

thread_title: Citing References And Worldwide Perspective

message: I propose that we have NO links in this article. It just encourages spammers to add their own or change the existing one. We could put a comment in the article to the effect that it has been decided by the editors of the article not to add any external links to it... —Hanuman Das 01:30, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: External links

message: There's a software project called stripclub (http://sf.net/projects/stripclub/) for viewing and caching online comic strips. It has no wikipedia entry and I'm not wikipedia-savvy enough to know how to open such a page in a way that conforms to whatever standards you have here. I also don't know much about it except that I use it and like it. If you build a stub for it, I believe they will come :)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.27.111.132 (talk) 13:43, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge from [[Champagne room]]

message: I know that, as the Stripper article states, male stripping isn't as popular, but the Male stripper article, and ones related to it definitely need more on it. There is more to state about it in regards to heterosexual women. I altered the Entertainment formats section just a bit to tackle the topic of male stripping. I may have overlooked some things, but I didn't see anything about it in this article before that. There could at least be an image of a male stripper included somewhere in here. I'm not sure if this topic was brought up before (haven't checked the talk page archives yet, and don't see any talk page archives to select from), but I needed to state something on it anyway. Flyer22 (talk) 16:21, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too little  information on male stripping 

message: This edit was confusing, but as I followed up on an unblock request by the user who made it, I think I am beginning to understand.  If I understand him correctly, he would prefer that his name, and the name of his club, not be featured so prominently in this article.  I can imagine that would be embarrassing to him, and while we don't remove significant material just to spare people from embarrassment, we also don't embarrass people intentionally when the material is not important.  I'm not convinced that a rather boring picture of the furniture in this specific club, and the story of its closure, is essential to the understanding of what a 'strip club' is, or significant to the history of strip clubs.  Should we do this guy a favor and remove his name and the pictures of his now-closed club from the article? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:16, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see how the feelings of anyone enter into this at all.  However, the paragraph seems needless and doesn't I feel even belong in the section it was in.  However, if someone wrote an article or section covering controversies around strip clubs I would have no problem at all with its inclusion. Jasonfward (talk) 12:17, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Hot Lap Dance Club- seeking consensus

message: The above statement is in the description of the Bikini type of club under Entertainment formats > Types. I don't know how to explain my objection to it, but I think it shouldn't be there. --anon. 71.183.134.249 (talk) 04:57, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: There was an edit made a while back to try and include male dancers in the description of a bikini club. At some point that turned into a customer reference. Bikini clubs are not gender neutral, so edited the sentence closer to read with its common understanding. Wallanon (talk) 03:47, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  "...or the customer's genital area remains covered" 

message: I’ve been trying to add new information and clean up previous writing on a very related article, Lap Dance. However there are only a few active editors, and some of those appear to be agenda-driven and want stifle the article. On January 6, 1014, one individual with support of another watchful editor(Beyond My Ken), made a massive deletion with a single Edit Command to that article which destroyed 3 Sections and cut the article's total byte count in half. Since there are so few participants on the Talk Page of Lap Dance (Lap Dancing), we could really use some help from some of the contributors of this article to achieve a reasonable consensus which opposes that massive deletion. Please feel free to comment on the ongoing discussion of the massive deletion on the Lap Dance Talk page, or discuss on my Talk page any ideas that you have.James Carroll (talk) 17:59, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
