[edit] Photoshoots...

Should photoshoots by/for magazines where clothing is gradually removed through the course of the shoot count as stripteases, and so be mentioned in the article? TheDeadlyShoe 08:31, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Striptease vs. stripping

Shouldn't striptease be a subset of an article on stripping, rather than having references to stripping redirect to striptease? Striptease is a particular approach to removing clothes for entertainment, emphasizing (as the name suggests), the tease. Modern strippers at many clubs are stripping, but they're not performing striptease. I'd also think things like lap dances and strip clubs would be worthy of their own articles.

For that matter, how distinct is striptease from burlesque? There's a lot of overlap, even if they're not the same thing.

Striptease (in go-go) is performed in two song sets, where a performer dancers in costume for the first song, and topless (or nude) for the second song. In burlesque, the performance is more choreographed and nudity is rarely the focus. It's more of a 'tease'. Max Spades 05:39, 28 August 2005

Anyone have any recommendations? -- Scarequotes 06:46, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

I have been unhappy with this article for a long time, but haven't had the time to fix it. I agree that what is currently done in most clubs is stripping or simply erotic nude dance. I would suggest just adding more material to this article, rather than creating a new article, because the dividing line is rather vague. The article can always be split up if it gets too long.

[edit] "Auditions" section

This looks unencyclopedic, as it is written in a "how to" style, rather than in Wikipedia NPOV style. -- The Anome 23:54, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. ManoaChild 00:07, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
Me too. The employment advice seems out of place. Or there ought to be advice for the visitor too: How much to tip. Ensure one knows how much the champagne will cost. Where to keep one's hands. Etc. (I own up only to anecdotal understanding of all this, of course.) Paul Beardsell 12:41, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
I appologize. In the light of day, it does seem incorrectly formatted. I moved it into the Gentleman's club (adult entertainment) section and rewrote it. Max Spades 5:35, 28 August 2005 (EST)

[edit] "Overview" section

Why was the overview section removed? ManoaChild 00:07, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Most of the section remains, however, the opening line about "A strip club is..." was moved to the page on strip clubs. Max Spades 05:44, 28 August 2005

[edit] Odd sentence

"Conversely, gay male strip clubs comparatively rarely feature male performers."

...What?

Is this sentence left over from something since removed?

[edit] Racist

"[a higher level of sexuality]...can be attributed to the noted natural "sexuality" or rather sensuality in the black female...."

Is this for real? What planet am I on?

Critic9328 20:45, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

you could reverse it so it says "Due to the legendary frigidity of White females..."

[edit] Why Women become strippers...?

"Why Women Become Strippers

Women become strippers for the money. Many were once waitresses in these clubs who thought they would never become strippers themselves, but gave into the temptation. Advertisements often tell women about how much they can make working as strippers."

I've got to say, I really, really wasn't expecting a stubby, extremely POV stub-thing consisting of three sentences of one of the most controversial aspects of this topic in this section. Either remove it outright or rewrite it... outright.

Not to say that this is the only section that needs work. --T. S. Rice 03:06, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Any pictures of male strippers?? You know its good to balance the article out.

Feel free to take one yourself and upload it under GDFL. That's what I did. I'm not gay, so I'm not inclined to go take a pic of a male stripper. Sorry. Billy Blythe 05:33, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Links

I think that last link should be removed. Wikipedia isn't cencored, but it still shouldn't be a portal for porno.--KojiDude 22:31, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I have gone ahead and removed all the seemingly promotional links; I can't see how they fit per External links policy. --TeaDrinker 04:05, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Darn. I guess I won't be adding See genuine strippers perform to the main page then, for instance. It is an awfully enticing piece of virtual real estate, that page.

there's a pic [[1]]203.187.211.204 19:20, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

Why is it that hunkystrippers.com was removed from the external links on this page.

1) It is a non profit, non commercial site, run by volenteers. 2) It is not pornogrpahy and is 100% on topic for this page. 3) It contains a free comprehensive list or Directory of UK male strippers (not an agency) contact details are direct. 4) You have links for female strippers so why is a true male stripper resource removed?

Can someone please tell me exactly why this was edited out? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jacksp (talk • contribs).

Whilst the website owners may not be making a profit, it's nonetheless advertising commercially (i.e., the strippers themselves, who are presumably looking to be paid). It also probably doesn't help that every page has a link to a commercial pay-for-access porn site. Wikipedia isn't a web directory - there doesn't appear to be any information about strippers, rather it's advertising strippers. Mdwh 19:01, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
I concur with Mdwh on this one. --TeaDrinker 19:55, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

External links on such a subject are going to be spammy and akin to pornography. So perhaps not worth including.

[edit] That pic with the tramp stamp
