The very first time I was 17 but I didn't stay long. The place was creepy and dirty. The second time was much better. I was about 21 years old. I saw a woman set her nipples in fire. My life has never been the same since...
I was thinking about going to strip club, I was wondering what age were you, when you first went to a strip club ? What was your experience like ?
I think I was about 18 and it was in the mid-80's. A childhood friend who was on military leave was anxious to take me to them (and porn shops). The club was near an air force base and probably catered mostly to military guys. It was not "creepy and dirty" like Yoda's experience, but it was not super elegant by any means. At that time, the drinking age was 19 in Arizona and places were super lax about checking ID. I remember the draft beer was warm, tasted bad and expensive. It sounds weird to say, but I honestly can't remember too much about the dancers. It seemed exciting at the time, but not because I had any wild and crazy experience.
My first time was in 1970 at the Roxy Theatre in Cleveland, Ohio. The Roxy was a totally nude burlesque house similar to Minsky's and also showed films during the day, no booze. By the time I was there the whole idea was on it's way out but I still was able to experience it more than a few time's.. They had some really bad skit's in between the strippers and a live band backing them up in an orchestra pit in front of the stage. I remember the headliner (Jonny Carson). They had stripper's who would work a circuit back then and she was one of them. My buddies and I were in the frontrow, by the end of her performance Jonny was literally fucking the stage, I'll never forget it. My next experience was a year later on Bourbon St. in New Orleans and I ended up banging the stripper.
