I asked why am I paying child support when we are married? She didnt answer but gave me a free lap dance.

I lived in the adult district in tampa...never would I have thought stripping was a noble profession.

Living n the projects, I had friends who decided that the noble profession was so great they killed themselves.

There are WAY more broken, abused and drug addicted people in the adult club business, as a matter of fact, that industry preys on the abused, confused and misused people to entertain the ever changing sick clientele.

The stories I could tell would shock and horrify everyone on this board.

Perhaps, I am biased...

Peace

The profession could use an enormous renovation starting with what the workers themselves would want.

And no. It doesnt actually need to have to do anything with sex.

Sorry, but the description of the abuse and end result sound so much alike.
It's commentary on MAGA women that choose their life v.s. a life lived in desperation.

Although I'd say a prostitute is more accurate.

Politicians are vehicles for policy outcomes, nothing more. None of them should be judged on anything other than their ability to deliver for the people they represent.

The stripper - your money.

The politician - your vote.

There are some exceptions amongst politicians of course, Biden and Obama for instance.

Don't know any strippers though, and too old to explore that possibility.
