to
give me three hundred dollars for five minutes. That was just the first of many
tips.
Don’t make the club your reality show. Many of the regulars
like to talk and tell all the new customers who is who and who did what.
Don’t hang out at the main stage forever after he has taken
your tip. He knows you are trying to mark your territory by hanging there with
no money, and there is a line of girls who are waiting to tip him. He also
knows that if you’re too territorial, other girls will stop tipping him.
If you are dating him, don’t let everyone know. It will kill
his money! Keep cool and enjoy the ride.
Don’t play games. He has too many options. He is used to
girls lying and playing games, and he gets enough of that at work.
Don’t ask what his real name is at work. We are not
ourselves at work; we become our alter egos. This question makes us feel
mortal.
Don’t tell him you’re pregnant if you’re not! (Yes, this
happens.)
Don’t use fingernails! It hurts us and we don’t want
fingernail marks on us. It’s bad for business!
If you notice, the list of do’s is really short and the list
of don’ts is really long. The reason? We are guys. We are simple in what it
takes for us to like you. However, there’s a laundry list of things not to do
because we are complex at the same time. LOL!
Chapter Five: Tricks and Tools of the Trade
Size Matters
Our trunks are designed to make us look well hung, but
through the years we have been dancing, ninety-six percent of the guys never
stuffed their undies to make their junk look bigger. It’s too risky because in
our business, you can pretty much see everything anyway, and girls will always
try to pull your pants down to reveal the goods. If that happened and everyone
saw that your pants were stuffed, your career would be over.
One time we saw a guy with his back to us, unwrapping
something from around his cock area. When he was asked what it was, he said it
was an Ace bandage. When someone asked, “What the hell is wrong with your dick that
you need an Ace bandage?” he openly and shamelessly admitted he wrapped it
around his cock to make it look bigger. Other than that, what you see is
usually what you get.
There is one trick some guys use called “tying off”, in
which a cock pump is used to get it hard, and then you tie a string around it
to hold the blood in it.
Tying off can present dangers and lead to some pretty funny
mishaps. In one club where all the dancers were using the tie-off method, one guy
had his cock pumped to the max right in front of everyone. Then his friend
walked by and said, “Man, go somewhere else to do that.” He slapped the hose on
top of the pump. Apparently, this is a bad thing to do when the pump is at max
pressure because it tore a small incision in the guy’s dick, and the suction
filled the pump with blood in a split second. It looked as if his dick
exploded. You can imagine the terror in his eyes when he saw that. You would
have thought he won the lottery when he pulled it out and only saw a tiny cut.
Luckily, at the clubs where we worked, nobody did tying off,
and we weren’t required to do it. We even made a rule for out-of-town guys—no
tying off, period.
An Interview with Ourselves about Steroids
Q: Do male strippers use steroids?
A: Great question! Yes.
Q: Do they all use steroids?
A: No.
Q: Would they look good without steroids?
A: Yes, just not as hard or big but still way above the
normal guy. Dancers know that the steroids are only part of the equation, actually,
the smallest and only unnecessary part. The two larger parts are nutrition and
exercise, and there is no substitute for those. Not all dancers use steroids,
but all successful dancers eat well and hit the gym regularly.
Q: When they take steroids, do they inject them or take
pills?
A: Both.
Making Love with Your Eyes
For me, one of the best parts of being a male exotic dancer
is the love and affection thrown at me on a
