Even though he may have a history of “getting forced in to situations with his friends, it’s a bad idea to assume the worse. It’s unreasonable to get mad at something that hasn’t happened. So to avoid a fight, take a breather and let your bf handle things.

Okay let’s say worse case scenario happens and he goes. Strippers tend to avoid young guys because they usually don’t have the kind of money strippers are looking for. Here is the break down of spending money at a “gentlemen’s club.

At the stage: this is where a stripper gauges a client and how much money they potentially have. The more 1 dollar bills someone is willing to throw on stage, the more money the stripper can potentially get out of the client.

In the lap dance area: lap dances ranges between 20 - 40 dollars per song depending on the place and how expensive it is. A stripper will try to keep a client here to milk a them for $ but 9 times out of ten they are trying to up sell to the private dance rooms where the real money is made.

The vip/private lap dance area/booths/rooms: This is where a stripper gets their rent paid. These can range from 100 to 500+ dollars depending on the place and how expensive it is. This area is a place for expensive heavy petting over the pants. You hear about “more” happening, but unless this place is a really shady place and your bf has hundreds and hundreds of dollars to shell out past the amount to get in this area, nothing happens.

So unless your bf has A LOT of extra income to throw away, then you have nothing to worry about. If he’s poor and not spending money, strippers will avoid him like the plague and label him a pathetic loser. Which these places frown upon.. since he’s only 18, I’m willing to bet he doesn’t have 300-600 to get in trouble, I say, even if he goes, nothing will happen.

Remember, these strippers are business woman. All they are doing is selling a fantasy. Do not trip.

Source; I have close friends who are strippers (for the record, whom I met before their chosen profession) and have been to a couple of bachelor parties.
