    Some lesbians/bi women do come in, but not too many, at least not in the cities where I've worked. Some strip clubs don't allow unescorted (meaning: no man) women in. That's not because of the lesbian thing, what they don't want are prostitutes coming in soliciting the guys. It makes sense if you think about it. There are not strip clubs specifically for women - they'd go broke, as women just do not spend money on sex workers like men do. There are some serious lesbian-feminists who might be offended, but not so many... But sometimes in bigger cities with a good sized big gay/lesbian population, there will be special parties put on by/for lesbians, with strippers. I've danced at shows like that, it's fun. But it's unlikely you'd hear about them unless you were 'in the loop' of lesbian events - reading the gay papers, looking at flyer in gay bars, etc.

    I am a lesbian and I think strip bars are fun. I'm not offended by the idea of women stripping for money...I think the women are incredibly brave! I think it must feel very powerful to have that much control over an audience. I think there are some 'lesbian' strip clubs, but certainly not here in the heartland.

    I danced in strip, or 'gentleman's clubs,' for four years. While I do not know of any lesbian specific clubs in my city I know that some exist in other cities. Yes bisexual and lesbians go to the clubs. As a matter of fact I have worked at clubs that cater to women on certain nights of the week. Also guys I am sorry to say it is true that a lot of dancers are lesbians or at least bisexual themselves. I guess that they are like any other group of people, some find it offensive and some don't.

    I am not lesbian or bi, but I am close friends with many, and I know that for the most part lesbians are not offended by stripping or dancing for money. Many of my friends do it for a living! The girls I know usually go to one club, where everyone is invited, gay or straight, male or female. A lot of the 'Gentlemen's Clubs' around here are just that, no females other than dancers allowed. But the ones with open doors are often visited. As far as strip clubs specifically for lesbians, there are none around here, but that doesn't mean there aren't any in the more populated areas of the US.

    I'm not a lesbian. I have had sexual encounters with women, and enjoyed them. I have gone to strip clubs and enjoyed that as well. But since I don't identify as lesbian or even bisexual, maybe my response doesn't count.

    I know many couples with bi-sexual women. They do enjoy going to clubs for various reasons. Some go because they find the environment stimulating. They then share this level of arousal together when they get home. Many do go in hopes to pick up a woman, but their chances are about the same as a single man picking up a woman there. I am wondering the reasoning behind your question. Are you looking for a lesbian encounter? If so, there are many things to consider. Do you want girl/girl only? Can your husband participate and to what level? Does you husband support the fulfillmet of this fantasy? You need to make sure you have communicated well with your husband first. Then, I would recommend browsing through swing clubs on line. I have never heard of a lesbian strip club, but the vast majority of females at swing clubs are bisexual. They are also more discrete than exotic dancers.

    I think it depends on the woman. More gay women than in the past do visit strip clubs and have a great time. I have been a few times and enjoy them. There are other lesbians (and women in general) who feel strip bars are sexist and demeaning and are offended by the idea of them. I personally don't go anymore because my girlfriend is one of the latter category.

    I am a lesbian and have been to a strip club maybe twice with a group of friends. To me, it was just as much of a turn on, as it was a turn off. My lesbian friends have a variety of opinions on stripclubs. Some love them, some are deeply offended by them. I think that among the lesbian population, you'll find just as wide a variety of opinions on the subject as you will among straight women. I have also met a couple of women who strip for a living and they have commented that they do enjoy it when women come into the club - women are much more sensual, less aggressive and offensive, and a nice change of pace from the men. I don't know of any strip clubs that are specifically for women. Sometimes lesbian bars will hire a woman dancer to come into their bar for a 'show'. Those that are interested watch/participate; those that aren't shoot pool.

    Well I'm a lesbian, I've been to a strip bar once and didn't much care for it. However I have friends who like to go on occasion and they really enjoy it. I did hire a stripper for a friend's 30th B-day party once and she loved it..as did all the lesbians at the party. To some people, stripping is offensive..it's not what I'd do for a living but I don't fault a woman who wants to.

    Well, when I lived in San Francisco and went into strip bars there were always some women there, never the majority, but some women. I'm not aware of there having been any lesbian strip clubs in San Franciso. Getting somewhat off topic, when I moved to L.A. I was surprised to find out there were some strip bars that wouldn't let me in unless I had a guy with me. One place, where my roommate was working, wouldn't even let me in unless she came out to tell them to let me in. Other places don't care. I don't know what the deal is. A friend from Atlanta told me that in several places she knew of in the South that women wouldn't be allowed entrance if they didn't have a guy with them.

    I'm a lesbian, and I don't go to heterosexual strip clubs, but I know that some lesbian bars and parties feature female strippers. I've been to a few, but not specifically to see the strippers -- for the most part, they don't do much for me, but there have been exceptions! With regard to whether stripping is offensive to lesbians, I'd say it depends on the particular lesbian, just as stripping is offensive to some straight women but not others.

    Well, I don't know about the rest of the country, but when I went out to a strip club with some lesbian friends of mine, they wouldn't let us in without male escorts. Apparently this was a precaution against prostitution. Not that we looked like prostitutes! So to start off, some clubs are definitely more friendly to all-women groups than others. I think being offended by stripping depends on the person (straight or gay). Some women (not just lesbians) think stripping is demeaning to women, because it objectifies them, for example. My friends and I just wanted to drink some beers and look at beautiful ladies. I think it boils down to a matter of taste, rather than sexuality. I've never heard of lesbian-specific stripclubs, but it would be a neat idea!

    There are a few clubs (usually in larger metropolitan areas) that cater specifically to women. I have been to some of them, and even danced at one once, but I also enjoy going to the gentlemen's clubs. I don't think the idea of stripping is offensive to all lesbians/bisexual women at all; I definitely don't find it offensive. I think that if you like going out to strip clubs, more power to you, and enjoy!

    Yes, lesbians and bisexual women go to strip clubs. Usually to 'gentleman's clubs' where women are welcome, which most are. I have not seen or heard of a strip club 'just for lesbians', there are some gay clubs which sometimes feature a special night as a strip club. It may be hard to believe but I have met many women who are strippers in the 'gentleman's clubs' who are actually lesbians! I am sure that there are some lesbians (as there are straight men) who are offended by the idea of stripping and dancing for money.

    Pop culture icon Morrisey once said,'People are neither homosexual nor heterosexual. They are merely sexual.' Or maybe that was Madonna. Regardless, I have found that most of the women who work in strip clubs are younger and still searching for thier sexual identity. I notice you are 38. Possibly the culture in the '80s was not as free where you grew up as it is in these establishments, but many of these young girls are toying with the issue of sexual orientation. You don't need a lesbian bar. You need the cajones to ask one to your home, or at least out on a social get together outside her work. But, as Dan Savage once said, treat a young girl like a campground: make sure it's better off when you leave than when you found it.
