I enjoy going to strip clubs with my husband. Not only does it turn my husband on, but I really enjoy getting a table dance from a sexy, gorgeous woman. I am wondering if lesbians and bisexual women go to strip clubs. If so, do you go to 'gentleman's clubs,' or are there strip clubs specifically for lesbians that I'm not aware of? Or is the whole idea of stripping and dancing for money offensive to lesbians?

There is one male strip club for women, tons of female strip clubs for men, and tons of male strip clubs for gay men. I personally enjoy going to strip clubs with my girlfriend of 5 years and her straight male friends (because female clubs won't let women in without male escorts). Some lesbian friends I know are completely turned off by the idea of female strippers, some find it degrading. And then there are some bi and lesbian women I know who enjoy it and some who even fight for more rights for sex workers in general. So I wouldn't say tnat all lesbians love it or hate it, it depends on each person.

I have a couple friends who have gone to strip clubs. I'm sure they'd prefer women-only clubs, but availability is limited in the Mid-west. Personally the idea of stripping/dancing for money is just smart. The people who give their money choose to be there, as do the strippers. I think people aren't given enough credit for their own choices, but that's just me. Also, I've never been to a strip club, but wouldn't mind going someday. Some people like to look, some don't. Hope that's helpful :)

We have nothing against people who go, but it just seems kinda sleezy to us...doesn't turn us on. However, we both know lesbians who do like to go with their straight male friends. I think it's the same with lesbians as it is for anyone else. Some people like it, some people don't.

I don't know of any lesbians who go to strip clubs as a regular social activity, either. I've been a few times and I found it entertaining, but not overly 'stimulating'. While we don't have any such clubs of our own that I know of, you may find it interesting that the women dancers seemed to REALLY enjoy our presence ... I don't know if that's because it was refreshing for them, because we were very enthusiastic, or if they were bisexual ... we got quite a bit of attention from them! Thanks for the opportunity to relive the memories ... :)

Name : Mac, City : chicago, State : IL Country : United States, Yes, lesbians and bi-women do go to 'gentlemen clubs' as you call them - more often than one may think. This occurs much more in larger, more diverse communites. As you can imagine, the prettier, more feminine lesbians are quite eagerly welcomed - whereas butch, manly women may raise some eyebrows. And yes, there are clubs that cater to lesbians (you might remember Ben Affleck 'accidently' went to one last year in Canada) but they're rare and there are none in the U.S. that I am aware of. The ratio of women in these clubs to men is very very small though. Lesbians (and most women) do not spend NEARLY the kind of money on adult entertainment that gay and straight men do. Most lesbians who visit these clubs, go once or twice a year (like straight girls might go to male strippers for a bachelorette), and not every Thursday for a night out with the gals.

Name : Candy, Gender : F, City : Atlanta, State : GA Country : United States, I'm not a lesbian but I have many gay and lesbian friends. I've gone with lesbian friends to 'gentlemen's clubs' and I have only noticed that they don't get as excited as when we go to a lesbian club during the strip show. And I don't know if the situation is the same everywhere. But at the few lesbian clubs there have been in Hawaii (that I've gone to), the shows can be really graphic and extreme. I'd like to know if it's like that everywhere, it was shocking for my taste and I considered myself open to things.

There are also those who don't. As a lesbian woman, I've gone to strip clubs, and gentlemen's clubs, though I've never seen a 'lesbian' strip club... there are pansexual clubs that feature a variety of dancers, usually in sexy gear, though not necessarily naked... this is a slightly different environment, though. Interestingly,in Korea (where I was stationed with the United States Air Force) there are many clubs where girls dance in bikinis and work as 'escorts' for a fee. Military lesbians and bisexual women are a small but noticable percentage here, and often take up with these women. And lesbians and bisexual women enjoy a certain amount of popularity with the working-girls as well. I know several women who frequent their 'regular' clubs and are adored, not just by their gay or bi 'working' girlfriends, but by all the girls in the clubs. I've talked to many of the young women that work in the clubs who are from the Philippines and Russia and have done similar work in other countries and say that it's the same everywhere they go.

Although it's a little creepy at times, we have fun. However, I do find myself a little concerned for the dancers....I would rather talk to them and find out who they are than throw dollars at them. They chose the profession, but they should not be responsible for all the crap that comes with it. I wish there were lesbian strip clubs. That would be an ideal environment. But, we have to settle for 'gentleman's clubs'. I find the old men creepy and scary. But that's just me :)

I have had the same experience as you, it is quite arousing to have a dance like that. I would be curious to hear from other women...

Surprisingly, I know many straight women who have. I don't object to strip clubs, I just would be embarrassed to go. I would guess that it's more of a straight or bisexual woman's fetish than for lesbians.

Name : Kristy26300, Gender : F, Sexual Orientation : Lesbian, City : Denver, State : CO Country : United States, Yes bi and lesbians do go to strip bars. Which one depends on the girl. Some clubs (in the past for sure, present time may be better) would check because they thought the woman may be a prostitute trying to find some clients. Most boyztowns (section for LGBT community) have strip joints. It's a little bit uncomfortable to be a woman around intoxicated men at a strip club and not be working there

Name : Dina M., Gender : F, Sexual Orientation : Bisexual, Race : White/Caucasian, Religion : unsure, City : Chicago, State : IL Country : United States, Occupation : Poet, Education level : Less than High School Diploma, Social class : Middle class, I too enjoy going to strip clubs with my boyfriend, but at times I think it makes some of his friends uncomfortable. Now I am by no means the lesbian spokesperson, but I have found from my experience that there are lesbians who attend gentlemen's clubs, especially those in smaller cities and rural areas where there are no lesbian strip clubs. I have also found that many strippers are either homosexual or bisexual and have received several free lap dances at the expense of the stripper when my boyfriend and his friends were required to pay. Now there is some discrimination that exists at certain strip clubs. On a particular evening I entered a strip club with a girlfriend without men accompanying us, but meeting us there. We were initailly denied entrance because we were not accompanied by a man. I politely inquired as to the reasoning behind such a rule and was told it was an effort to keep both lesbians and disgruntled wives out of the club. We were allowed to enter upon the arrival of our male 'escorts', but later when I went into the restroom and found one of the strippers engaged in some pretty heavy petting with another woman, I could only laugh at the irony.
