The last dance: Why the Canadian strip club is a dying institution

[james t kirk]

I wonder. Not very long ago these were illegal:
- gambling
- gay marriage
- marijuana

Who knows what could spur some group or person to get it done?

All it could take is something like a cure for AIDS and bang - there could be a whole advocacy group pushing for it.

And it's pretty clear that each new generation is less hungup on stuff like this and more open.

While I agree with you the Social Justice Warriors do not. In fact they REALLY don't agree with you and they are intent on telling you and everyone else how you are going to live your life and how you are going to behave and how you're going to think.

And I disagree that every new generation is less hung up. If anything the last couple of generations have been more hung up and puritan than those before them.

The only place I still go to strip clubs is my hometown of Montreal. It's still $10 a dance at the Laval strip clubs, and while the quality is always variable, I can always find at least 2 naturally-busty french Canadian hotties on-shift and hopefully one is available for a good 6-10 dances. Always a good time when done infrequently (of course I prefer MPAs because they'll actually get you off)

If you're ever in Montreal, make the side trip to Laval and visit Pink Paradise.

I will say this about strip clubs and what I do really miss about them as I haven't been to one in 7 or 8 years. I find a good lap dance to be sometimes way more hot and erotic then a massage or even sex for that matter. There's a real art to a good lap dance. The way strippers nibble on your ear to get you going, grind their ass on you, etc. I've had times where I've come out of strip club after having amazing dances and said to myself "I would rather get lap dances from her for two hours then have sex with an SP". Again, if strip clubs weren't such a rip off, I'd still hit them up.



The reason I stopped going was because I would head out the SC, pay the stupid entry fee, then my $10.00 beer, only to find there were no hot black girls with a big ass to get a dance from. So now my times is wasted, I've drop about 20 bucks just to basically see if there was anything to my liking most times there wasn't. Next month, repeat cycle. Finally said fuck it, I'll stick to SP's.

Why pay for the fantasy of having sex with a stripper when you can pay for actually having sex with a MPA?

All the hottest girls are MPA's now. I've lost count of how many MPAs told me they tried stripping but the money wasn't there. Now they fuck n' suck and make a (small) fortune.

Frankly, I'll be almost happy when SCs are gone. The endless death spiral gets tiresome.

The next innovation should be upscale brothels. Sort of nightclub meets stripclub meets brothel. Hope I live to see it!

That would be awesome and I agree 100%.

I disagree. While the new generation is indeed less hung up on things like gay marriage and drug use, IMO they are even more anti-prostitution because of the feminist angle.

I live in the west end, so westenders may know about this.....and its just an observation...........in the last year or so the HOL on Queensway is now going to be a Condo site, the small strip club on Queensway toward the 427 is now a Street drop in centre for youth and the one that was on Evans ave near the 427 is now a hardwood retail store

So wouldn't that fall under better value???

That's exactly what I meant.

25 years ago was the heyday. No executive MP's. Th escort scene was unreliable before the internet era. You could go to a hot spot like Cheaters and get a half-hour of wriggles with a super hottie for $30!

By 2000, the prices had doubled, then quadrupled. Girls were still decent looking, but the value had gone. By 2005, the internet had re created the escort industry and it was reliable, less sleazy, safe and the girls hotter and better quality. Add in the sudden growth of the MP scene and fewer and fewer guys went to SC's any more. I sure didn't. Eventually they'll die completely up here and go the way of burlesque stage shows and dirty movie houses. Just a little footnote in some guy's quirky folk history of filth and fun in the 6ix.

Truth! ^^^

I used to go to Cheaters all the time for $5 lap dances. I was there one Saturday afternoon in the summer having a beer. A little cutie walked up and asked if I wanted a dance. I said sure but told her I had to go to the washroom first. I put a cover on because I know the girls in this place try to make you bust.

She lead me to a secluded part near the back and proceeded to give me a great dance. I was wearing thin shorts and she was taking full advantage grinding her pussy on my cock. She was getting all sweaty and was clearly getting into it as well. After about 5 songs couldn't hold back any longer and busted. Total $25. We both had smiles on our faces. I went back to the washroom to clean up.

I then fetched another beer and watched the stage show for a bit. Next up was the cutie I just had the dances from. I loved it when she gave me a smile and a wink.

A few minutes later another girl asked me if I wanted a dance. She was hot so I said sure. Back to the washroom to put another cover on, then to one of the booths for some more fun. Can't remember exactly how many songs she danced for but she made me bust as well. Only this time, she pops her head over the back of the booth, looks across the room at the first girl I had dances from an yells "I made him cum." To which the other girl yells back "me too."

Talk about embarrassing but funny at the same time. There was at least 15 people in the bar and everyone heard the exchange. And they all looked over at me as I got up and walked to the washroom...

For the $200 I spent in a strip club years ago, i can get more out of that at any massage parlor, asian spot, or decent Service Provider. Why would I go to a strip club in Canada, to pay to watch, not touch or be touched, on top of that I have to spend outrageous amounts on drinks.

I've noticed that they took down the sign for the condo where the House of Lancaster used to be. It was a big hole in the ground for a while, but I think they filled it in to avoid standing water I guess.

Don't see a lot of action there.

I don't go, I get too horny.

Strip club memories...

I recall once on a slow weekday afternoon, nursing a pint at Fantasies? (north of Markham on 48). Cinder hauled me up the completely empty VIP room and gave me a wicked tit fuck and CBJ. As soon as I blew my load I was outta there and back in my car. I reached down and pulled the used rubber off and flung it out of the window onto the parking lot. At the same time as I was tossing the used condom, I looked up and a different peeler was outside having a smoke. She broke out laughing, which made my day.

Awesome! ^^^

I had a couple memorable trips to Fantasia's VIP over the years. Thinking back, with all the mileage I received both there and Cheater's, I was never asked to pay more than the standard $5 a song.

I'm still a strip club guy at heart. I've recently been visiting them more frequent. I enjoy the atmosphere, the show and the fun. The eroticism is sometimes better than straight up sex. That's why I'll probably never see an SP, it's not what I'm looking for. MPs are the perfect balance but the cost upfront is minimum $140. You can walk into a SC with $100 and be entertained for a couple hours.

Would love to see the expenses and revenue just to know how bad they are getting burnt.

Head over to MI. No shortage of Black Booty there.

I would the music selection is always outdated, overly priced drinks, and the ladies missing that excitment. They count their dances and just want to get payed. Or some will offer full service in the back either or theirs a few things they can be doing better.

....

that one was a relic as well, but that one was on North Queen is right............the small one on Queensway was half way between kipling and 427....opposite a big church and beside an auto repair shop....forgot its name..

No, he was speaking of this place: https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.6185...4!1ssFYLKGPvAbyztNNs6nV_nw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

It changed names several times with the last name Casino.

It was a high mileage strip club with mostly E European girls ~25 years ago. Little booths similar to what CA has now. Hell Angles clubhouse directly south of the place.

 

[black booty lover]

Ironically, I went to WAGG last night for the first time in a few years. I actually wasn't even in the mood at all, but it's literally the closest bar to my house and I wanted to have a few beers so I swung over. They have more staff than people in there these days. There were about 5 guys in the place. Staff level was a bartender, two waitresses, a guy at the door, DJ, and 3 dancers...lol.

 

[surferboy]

A friend who's family owns a few told me nearly 10 years ago it was a dying industry. Was a fun place to go in the mid 90's & early 2000's. Loved trying to hustle a hustler & at the end of the nite if you we able to get your hand in her pants or one of them to buy you a drink you did ok! Think I got three or four black eyes from a couple bouncers so good & bad memories lol
