Female Strippers

A couple of weeks ago I went to a guy friends going away party, and his girlfriend and brother got him a stripper.

I did not know what to expect having never seen a female stripper in action, I wasn’t going to watch at first but the 3 other females convinced me to stay and oh my it was a sight.

I’m not judging or criticising women for being strippers and I’m sure there might be feminist strippers out there, and I’m not trying to offend anyone here. But what this stripper did in a suburban backyard in the barbecue area on a rug on the floor in front of young drunk men makes kinda think, have things have gone to far I mean what is next. (Let me just say Lots of lube a lollipop and various adult toys were involved)

It made me sad watching her she had no expression on her face, like she disconnected herself from what she was doing. I suppose it was way of coping with the disgusting behaviour or the young guys watching.

Just to compare things I was at a hens night once and there was a male stripper, he danced around and it wasn’t till the end of his routine that he was in all his glory which lasted like 1 minute tops. I’m not saying that male strippers should be making balloon animals with their bits and pieces but compared to what female strippers do there is a huge difference.

I know strippers have been around for a long time now but Is what I witnessed the "NORM" now? The party was in my home town of Brisbane, Australia. Just out of interest has stripping outside of strip clubs become so out there in other parts of the world like the UK, America and Canada?
