+1 ySure, they can do what they want. I'd hope they enjoy themselves!
For those who are uncomfortable about this, there is either a jealousy or a trust issue going on.
That is, they are jealous of the strippers (thinking their partner will be attracted to qualities of the strippers which they don't possess). OR there is a trust issue - fear that boundaries will be crossed - ie. if he goes to a strip club, maybe he will end up getting drunk and sleeping with a hooker... etc.
However, for me, I have no jealousy of strippers or other women in general - they have their beauty, I have mine. Why not celebrate it all? I don't think controlling what my partner's eyeballs can land on is going to make him believe I am more special. If anything, it will show him I'm a control freak. And if you want to decrease a man's attraction to you, try to control him. I know I feel less attraction to men who try to control me.
The trust factor is also significant. Again, corralling where my partner goes is not going to provide trust and security in the relationship. If he's untrustworthy and has no respect for our relationship, he'll find a cam girl or have an affair or WHATEVER. 'Disallowing' him from attending a strip club won't do jack shit. However, if he respects the relationship, and is trustworthy, that is not going to falter based on his circumstances or situation. If it does, he's not the kind of man I want to be in a relationship with anyway. So let him do his thing. I don't need to control him or worry about him - his own actions will demonstrate whether he deserves to be in relationship with me.29 Reply- +1 y
Lmao so we’re only normal if we allow our spouse to be grinded on by a naked body with the intent of arousal?

@Not_Average the fact that you even use the term "allow" indicates some problems, yes. They are problems which a large proportion of people have, so I'm not singling you out. But you are not your partner's keeper or prison guard. If you think about the relationship as what you "allow" the other person to to, that reveals a controlling mindset, probably based on fear, jealousy or trust issues.
- +1 y
@Not_Average Also, our society has a great fear of sex and arousal in general. The fact that you are so dismissive of something which your partner may find arousing is a concern.
- +1 y
I’m not allowing or disallowing anything. My partner respects me enough and we see eye to eye with this situation. How do you establish boundaries? Are all boundaries obsolete to you?
- +1 y
@Not_Average Well, if your partner and you both agree that you have absolutely no inclination to go to strip clubs, that's totally fine, but then your situation is actually irrelevant to the question posed by the OP. The question here involves one partner actually going to a strip club, and the other partner's reaction to it. If, as you say, your partner and you absolutely see 'eye to eye' on this issue, that situation will never occur for you, so it's a moot.

Once someone takes issue with the word "allow" than you know you are kind of dealing with some kind of woke, get offended by everything psycho nut.
YES ALLOW!
Normal, common language for most who have common sense. Most do not need common sense things explained to them. Since you are a nut job I'll try to explain COMMON SENSE to you.
ALLOW.
Most with common sense already come from a normal place of UNDERSTANDING that acknowledges the FACT that every human is free to do what they want. No one can make another person do or not do anything. I can go drink 30 beers tonight if I want. I can empty my bank accont and throw all the money into the sky. I can go to my neighbors house and throw gas on it and light the match, I can take a flight to Hawaii and just go around living on the beaches, I can go to the club and find some stranger and have casual sex with her, I can go through 10 prostitutes in one day, I can drive my car into a telephone pole, I can arrange 10 dates, 10 days in a row with 10 different girls.
I can do whatever I want. I have a brain, I can command my body to do whatever I want. No one allows me to do or not do anything. BUT... BUT... I could be arrested, I could go to jail, I could lose my job... I could run out of money and have nothing, I could/would be dumped by any dating partner... etc.
The fact that you do not already realize most understand we are all free and can do what we want is mind numbing.
We aren't chained to cages. We aren't led around by gunpoint. When dating couples use the term "allow"... you, in your psycho, endlessly offended by life, politically correct speech police activist... see this as some type of "control", "oppression"..."captivity". It is as if you are visualizing people being in prisons and held captive.
"ALLOW" simply means... to the NORMAL, COMMON SENSE, public that if partner A commits some act (most likely something pushing the boundaries with the opposite sex) then they will BE DUMPED.
- +1 y
THE RELATIONSHIP ENDS.
Everyone is free, Everyone can do what they want. It doesn't mean their romantic partner won't dump them and just date someone else.
If someone goes to a strip club and let's some girl give them a lap dance... or a male strip club and she has some guy fake hump her through her clothes... if their mate dumps them over that and moves on and dates someone else then they didn't "ALLOW" that. They don't stay with partners who engage in sexual types of play with others.
The fact that you are deflecting from the issue... that people have different boundaries and different feelings of respect and sexual monogamy and exclusiveness in relationships... but instead freak out about the word "ALLOW" tells us what we need to your about your mental state and the basic understandings of what sayings and phrases mean verses taking things SO LITERALLY that you are just some miserable person no one wants to be around.
I'm free to go sleep with another woman. If I do my wife will divorce me. She didn't "ALLOW" it. I'm still free to do it though.
If I don't allow my mate to go pay to see and be touched by strippers. They are free to do it.
I'll just dump them and go date some other person who doesn't cross my intimacy, exclusiveness boundaries for a romantic couple.

+1 yNot at all. However, It depends on the persons values and beliefs. For instance, I’m not too fond of a man that smokes or drinks and that doesn’t make him less of a man. I’ll address our differences and we’ll go our own separate ways. The same thing goes for the strip club. That’s a deal breaker for me but if a guy decides he wants to go to the strip club that’s fine, but we’ll no longer be together.

Them going by themselves to a strip club by themselves to just see the show, seems weird and off putting. Like explain why?
If a reason and context was reasonable sure. Reasonable stuff been like, my mate is having a bachelor party, or i've just never experienced one before (To me trying stuff once seems like a good reason due to you only get 1 life and if you want to see or do something before you die do it) then etc on other examples.30 Reply

Definitely not. Tbh it’s something I would break up with someone over. I find it weird. if u have a woman at home what’s the need to go and spend money to ogle women who are only giving you the time of day bc it’s their job? Wouldn’t you rather spend that money on the women who is in a relationship with you? I just find it disrespectful. I know some people are chill with it & some couples even go together but personally I am so not okay with it. Especially once you realize that a lot of the girls are there as a result of trafficking, etc it just becomes depressing to go to these places.
30 ReplyI've only been to one strip club and that was in error... was on holiday in Vegas and at the end of the night we got in a taxi and asked the driver to take us somewhere that was still serving alcohol, the driver then took us to a bar miles off the Vegas strip which was more strip and far less club... it was an interesting experience when in the middle of the desert I ended up arguing with some stranger I just wanted a beer and wasn't a big fan of guys that essentially were pimps. Remarkably I'm still alive lol

+1 ySure, depends on the club but yeah... those places are usually pretty good about not letting patrons touch the merchandise (unless they pay for the privilege)
I'll be honest, as a guy those places don't interest me at all. I'm just not a fan of the waste of money it is in my mind to go a oogle women who are off the menu by profession and generally so nipped and tucked that you can hardly tell what's left of their real selves under all the silicone and Botox.
Stripping is a fine profession, when done well it is a dance art form of sorts but yeah... not something I care to drop several hundred dollars on when I don't even drink either.
Now, would I date a Stripper? Sure, dancing and draining other men's wallets ain't cheating, as long as that's all it is and she doesn't lie about it.10 ReplyNo I wouldn't waste time and I'd probably break up with them, you can go to so many places to have fun and if it's for the drinks, there's bars, there's liquor stores, what would the reason for her being there be, whatever it is, I wouldn't wanna be around her to find out

@VTecumseh I suppose that the specific aspects of the relationship would come into play. If there is a history of infidelity I could see it being a problem or if one of the people in the relationship wasn’t interested in being sexually intimate without having first gone to a club in order to get their juices flowing, I have been in a relationship where our first date was to a strip club and I’ve been in relationships where it was thought of as cheating if I went to a strip club. I personally don’t think that there is a problem going to a strip club as long as you are honest with your significant other what you are up to, the second you feel that you need to hide it is when it becomes a problem.
- +1 y
@VTecumseh If by 'care' you mean 'is concerned for my wellbeing', then no. But that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about one partner who of their own volition decides to go to a strip club. If the other partner only 'cares' about this, in the sense that they get huffy, judgmental or uppity about it, then that is controlling, not caring.
