So during my “hiatus” I still kept my pulse on what was going on in the Sex Game. One of the many things that crossed my way was a little film called “The Strip Game” that was released in 2005. Filmed by the senior member of the Wu-Tang Clan Method Man it was a look into the lives of strippers who worked in various strip clubs in New York, Texas and Atlanta.

I looked at it and found it was interesting but it went slightly off the rails in the third act as two strippers he was interviewing tried to make it more than what it was. (His reaction was priceless)

Be that as it may its a valid attempt and something that I wanted to do myself. Based on the G-String Divas, I always wanted to do a documentary on focusing on Strippers and Porn Stars of Color. Say what you will, but there is a difference between what goes on at a Strip Club frequented by People of Color and the other places.

I’m sure I can get at least Ten Hours of Tape out of it alone.

So peep the video below from Hulu and tell me what you think:

So thanks to my strip club post, a few of my female readers who never got to visit a strip club had questions about an outing to their local Strip Club.

Because of those questions, I present to you. Strip Club 101: A Primer For The Newbies and Those Not So Much (Patenting Pending).

Let me first start off by saying that each experience will be tapered by the laws in your local state. You want to see full nude women while sipping on your cognac: You can’t do it in NY, SC and SD but its not a problem in FL, NV or GA. Even in the states that allow certain things, your local Government may put the kibosh on it.

So the first thing I would ask is to call the strip club in your area to find out what type it is. (Or let Mr. BlackSexxx do the leg work for you.)

The types are usually indicated as Nude, Semi-Nude, Pastie and Bikini Bar. And depending on your clientele it may break down even further with the designation of Gentleman’s Club, Hybrids and Sex Emporiums. Click Here for a full description of those and others on the list.

A Nude Club is just what it denotes. The girls dancing on the pole and for the patrons will strip down to their birthday suits for those who pay money for them to do so. Note: Depending on the city you will either get that with or without alcohol as some places cannot go fully nude if they serve alcohol (See Philly and New York City as an example).

Semi-Nude (Topless): The girls at the bar basically will be going bare breasted with some sort bikini or thong-type bottom on. Usually these clubs run in cities that have the rule about going fully nude while serving alcohol.

Pastie: These bars are like a the Semi-Nude bar but the dancers wear Pasties to keep their nipples from view.

Bikini Bar: The women here dance in nothing but bikini’s for paying customers.

So with that out of the way, let us begin:

Where would you go for a good time?
This is a truly subjective question as everyone’s idea of a good club to go in your area depends on a) your location, b) how much money your plan on spending and c) the experience you’re trying to capture.

In my lifetime I have had better fun at a Mid-Major strip club. The larger strip clubs you are going to be nothing by a specific number that the owners are going to want you to spend and spend highly. You don’t want to go to a club that says unless you’re a Rapper, Professional Athlete or Mogul don’t bother stopping here.

Look to the internet for services that do ratings of the strip clubs in your area. Two websites The Ultimate Strip Club List and Strip Club List has a list of clubs and reviews of those clubs from across the company. Also I have found that looking at your local CitySearch will get you a number of clubs in your area (with ratings) that National Websites might have missed.

Word of warning for basing your Club visits based on online reviews. Sadly a number of the reviews will be quiet dated. I visited one site that didn’t have a review since 2005. I’m sure there might have been changes but you wouldn’t know that from what’s being posted on the internet.

The best way to find out good clubs to go would be to ask male co-workers, friends or family member. A good time at the club will always be memorable in the minds of some and you will always get a blow by blow from the Entry to the Club to what happened on the ride home. My experiences have been many and whenever someone asks me how are the strip clubs in Atlanta I can tells with excitement my Bad Experience at Pleasers and My Great Experience at Strokers.

What is the best time to go?
Again most clubs are different but I’ve known from experience that the best time to go is right before evening shift change (which varies so check with the club or someone who’s known to have visited there). The afternoon girls are on their way home for the night and All-Pros are put on for their run for the night. Usually the good earners get the “Prime Time” spot on these nights. Also of note: Thursday through Saturday are heavy traffic days while Sunday through Wednesday are less so.

Worst time to go?
If you live a city and a major event will happen: Super Bowl, All-Star Game, BET or Source Awards show will mean that their will be plenty of patrons looking to spend plenty of money. It means that first timers (and some regulars) will get lost in the shuffle.

What is the cost to get in?
Depending on the club it could cost as little as $5 to as much as $25 to get in. Again this depends on several factors: 1) Time of Day, 2) Day of the week or 2) If its a special event (Super Bowl, All-Star Weekend, Etc.)

What Special Attire Should I Wear?
Again it really depends on the type of club you plan on visiting and the mood you are trying to set. I would say to be safe in most cases Party Casual is best.

How much should you bring to the club?
Simply put … enough to have a good time. Please note that the strip club experience includes drinking, paying for dances on the pole and separate Table Dancers (More On That Later). You should have enough to get in, have a couple of drinks and pay for at least two Table dances and to tip the dancer and waitress.

What will be the atmosphere?
Busy. There will be a lot of milling around with Dancers looking for those willing to pay, girls dancing to songs on the pole and waitresses delivering drinks and food (if they serve it). Make sure you get a nice spot near walkways but not so much that people will be walking through your dancing experience.

How to ask for a lap dance?
The dancers are going to be walking around looking for customers. The think that I usually do is take a quick scan across the room find a dancer or three that are attractive to me and wait. Dancers know the lay of the land and will most likely walk up to you more than they do the men.

What if you don’t like the dancer?
Be upfront and let them know of your intentions. Let them down as easy as possible and tell them the truth.

That’s all for right now. I will be posting a part two to this sometime later in the week. However if you have any questions of your own please post them below or email me directly..

With today we start the countdown to the Big __-Oh (You’ll have to figure out the year but just know it will be memorable). I like to say that lived a good life so far but some of my celebrations have been memorable for dubious reasons. This being a Sex/Strip Club Blog I should drop a couple of lines about my adventures there.

I’m reminded about a trip two years ago. I had a chance to go to Strokers but it was a little far from my home and the idea of driving back to my house after getting my Strip Club Buzz on would be a bad idea (Word on the street that the PO PO’s were sitting heavy waiting to pull over people for driving while buzzin’ so I needed to be careful)

While riding down I-75 I remembered that there is this club called Pleasers that I used to go out with a friend of mine I went to college. Now when I was in Atlanta in 92 it seemed to be a jumping place so I thought that it might be a nice place to return.

After making a couple of turns, I’m sitting in the parking lot. There seems to be a number of cars so I’m thinking that at least people were visiting in making it rain inside. (Yes Atlanta was a place were Rap memes come to die)

So I paid my 5 dollars for entry and after a brief strip search, I walked in. The first thing I noticed that the room is damn near empty with patrons and the decor looked exactly as it did in 92.

“How do these people make money?” I asked quietly before stepping to the bar.

The Bartender sitting behind the bar is a cute dark skinned sister who asked me what I wanted to drink.

“Congac.” I said.

“Straight up?” She asked me.

“Yes,” I answered.

See folk that’s the difference in White and Black Strip clubs. Black Strip clubs like men to order drinks and say it with authority.

White strip clubs would have force me to order it “Neat.” Now which sounds like you’ve showed up with a smoking jacket it with a smoking jacket. “Straight up!” Says that you’ve been their before. After a few seconds, I’m presented with said drink. The cost: 8 Dollars.

I guessed that’s how they make their money.

Anyway I took my drink and moved to a seat in front of the ratty stage. From that standpoint I really noticed how truly empty the room is. Only a few strippers were milling around and most of the guys looked like they were one step away from being extras in an Alcoholic Anonymous Ad.

So the DJ announced that the next dancer on stage is Hennessy.

See that’s the second difference between White and Black strip clubs. The strippers at black clubs are named after Alcoholic Beverages, Select Adjectives and Luxury Automobiles. Names like Hennessy, Remy Martin, Hypnotic, Lexus, Jaguar come to mind.

Strippers at White clubs are named after States and International Territories. Montana, Cheyenne, Ontario and the like.

I never understood this ideology but it does make for interesting commentary. Anyway back to the action:

The bass was bumpin’ and I’m trying to stretch my drink to hopefully get a buzz before I start to spend money. Normally when I hit the club, I get my drink and focus on one or two dancers before choosing one to contribute to their scholarship fund.

Problem was that Pleasers only had a handful of strippers there that looked that they should be taking off their clothes. In fact I would have paid a couple of them to put them back on.

*ugh*

This place had Strip Dive written all over it. I was praying that it wasn’t the case.

I should have known something was up when I say the bottle of 409 and a box of hand towels near the stage. I wondered how many times did they have to wipe it down and why didn’t they have janitor on staff to do that?

So this chick gets on stage and she looks like a crack head with a bikini on. Oh man to say that she was stripper material would have been insulting to strippers everywhere. And because of it No One … and I do mean NO ONE was paying attention to her.

I mean I could have been wrong but this girl was wearing a bikini that looked like it hadn’t been washed in ages and her strength was not enough to barely allow her to do to do any pole work.

Now would you pay good money to see that? I didn’t think so….

So the first song ended and no dude is coming out of their pockets to get her naked. (It’s 10 dollars just to get there).

Now the DJ starts to yell at folk. Again another difference in black and white strip clubs: White DJs use positive speech to get the patrons to tip their dances.

Example: “Let’s show Montana some love and let her know you appreciate her dancing for you!”

Not at the black club. This was heard my night at Pleasers: “There’s about 10 niggas in here and not one of ya’ll can give two dollars each to get that bitch nekkid!?”

Now that’s positive reinforcement right there. The DJ still didn’t get any takers so he changed tactics and started insulting people personally.

Guess who he stared with first? Yep, my drink sippin’ ass: “You sittin’ near the front row playa … I know you got some chips on you … you bought a class of Henny!”

I guess the emptiness of the club allowed the DJ to get information in a hurry.

Well he was right about that, I just spent 8 dollars for a drink and 5 dollars to get into this Dive Strip Club. All I wanted to do is to see some titties … now I get to get shitted on.

However I knew that the girl was working for something: Light Bill, Rent, Daycare … she needed the money more than I did so I spotted her 3 dollars and walked back to my seat.

The song continues to play and obviously something I did started the ball rolling as another dude shelled out 2 dollars.

So now the crackhead dancer was short 5 dollars.

Looking around I saw that people weren’t moving or looking remotely interested.

Of course the girl looked like she had her forth kid already and I could have sworn that I saw that she had a tattoo of Marion Berry on her left cheek.

Sadly that wasn’t the strangest tattoo I ever saw at a Strip Club. I remember being in a club and saw that this dancer had a lower back tattoo that had a cross with the word “Blessed” in the middle.

Meanwhile the DJ was still screaming that we’s niggas were a bunch of broke asses.

“Ya’ll nigga’s act like ya’ll mad at the pussy ….”

“Did ya’ll wife throw ya’ll out?”

“Don’t take it out on the pretty lady who wants to show you the pussy!!”

I’m looking around and no one is was still moving.

And it becomes painfully clear to me that this Strip Club ain’t going to get any better even with the DJ passively aggressively trying to get someone to tip the woman into nakedness.

My drink is finished and I don’t even have a buzz because the music is too loud, the DJ is irritating and damnit that girl is working too damn hard for that 10 dollars.

So I get up give her a 5 before proceeding to walk out. As I’m leaving I heard the DJ say: “Now see that’s a real nigga … a man who loves the pussy!!”

Of course he hadn’t noticed that I just walked out and I didn’t even turn to see how naked that woman was …

As I write this I’m still shuddering over the Marion Berry Tattoo.

So let that be a lesson to you kids … you can’t go to every Strip Joint without doing research … no matter how close it is to you.

How this will affect my __th birthday this year? *Sigh* My friends are going to take me to a strip club … I can’t stay away. Thankfully it will to a much better one than the one 2 years ago.

Sorry Pleasers!
