Rapist Charged with "Theft of Services" →
katstories:
Remember this? Most people don’t. In 2007 in Philadelphia, a prostitute was gang raped at gunpoint and the judge dismissed the case, calling it “theft of services.” This really happened.
And this is one of the many reasons why these things are important to think about.

Obs: Terminology: Sex Worker.
Not all sex workers are strippers. Not all strippers are sex workers.
Some in the industry joke that the only people who deny strippers are sex workers are the strippers. With a feminist mind, I ask you to examine that statement, that joke. That the butt of the joke lies in a woman’s ability—or seeming ‘disability’—to know what she is. To ‘know her place.’ To make...

FL Files: 3: Checkmate.
Never before had I ever felt that weight. That heaviness of shame not earned, guilt not afforded; the crushing, sinking feeling when you realize that someone feels entitled—and what that someone feels entitled to is your body.
That moment that feels like snakeskin not yet split; too tight, that gaze. Eyes with lucid clarity and appraisal held years behind them, experience in secure understanding...

FL Files: 2: Chess Pieces.
Each strip club has its own club smell. We come home from the House smelling of stale cigarettes, bad cologne, beer and body scents, old leather, fine cigars, stage sweat, wet money, and whatever we use to cover up that smell. What Ch. uses smells like cookies.
Porthole held a musky sourness to it, as if from an interval of un-use, like a cellar. There, too, were the tell-tale signs of strip club...

FL Files: 1: Introduction.
So much can change in two and a half years, which is how long it had been since Lilah and I worked at a strip club in Florida. My memories of the first club, which we’d dubbed Red, are fond ones. I remember my first taste of a locker room with grinning girls, my first house mom, my first champagne VIP.
I remember a stretch hummer with some of the more extroverted girls and we’d go...

I have a number of general posts I want to write, but in order to understand my thoughts, I think it’s finally time I share with you my specific experiences in Florida from September 2010, in three parts.

Jigsaw Youth
queermovieman:
By Kathleen Hanna (from Jigsaw #4/Spring 1991) We live in a world that tells us we must choose an identity, a career, a relationship, and commit… to these situations… as if we don’t live in a world of constant flux… which we do. Don’t freak out just cuz the jigsaw is laying on the floor and it’s not all the way done and has been laying there for 4 whole hours now, resist the freak...

Anonymous asked: You have a really positive outlook on dancing in most of your posts (excluded douchebags and no $). Another blog Strippr made this post. Have you experienced any of these side effects? Do you think it depends on the person or do you think its just the toll that takes after time??
I love Piper’s observations. That’s a post I actually Liked when it came through my...

Stupid Fucking Strip Club Questions →
deathbysexiness:
1) “What are you doing AFTER work?” NOT YOU. As in, I’m going the fuck home to count the little money you spent on me and complain about douchebags who ask me what I’m doing after work.
Hahahahaha oh man, I kinda love this. Crass but on the ball.

“simply put, is there a sure place, i can look at you, you can look at me, and i can touch you without my getting killed, sick, raped, or trapped into a lifetime of assuaging your insecurities?
