Strippers

[SomePunk]

Strippers take advantage of desperate people (men in most cases).
This is how I view strippers and the people that pay them money to get naked.

Is there anything morally right about this? Is there anything morally wrong about this?

[McCulloch]

Restaurants take advantage of hungry people.

From the OP:

Strippers take advantage of desperate people (men in most cases).

It can't possibly be they're doing what they can to get by, can it? It can't possibly be that they enjoy showing themselves and don't it beat all, there's folks willing to pay 'em to do it, can it?

It can't possibly be I enjoy giving money to a stripper 'cause I just love to see me some titties wiggling, and I happen to be able to afford the price of admission, can it? It can't possibly be that I find the cost of seeing some chick who's already willing to get nekkid is cheaper'n having to cajole a chick into doing it for free, can it?

I've paid chicks to play the fire drill game at red lights, nekkid, just 'cause I thought it'd be hilarious to watch 'em do it. I've paid chicks to ride elevators up and down hotels, nekkid, just 'cause I wanted to see the reaction of folks' faces when they see this nekkid chick riding up and down in an elevator all nekkid there in a hotel. My only regret is I've yet to find a chick willing to accept money for showing up at a minister's funeral dressed in feathers.

This is how I view strippers and the people that pay them money to get naked.

Given your declaration that strippers "take advantage" of folks you deem "desperate", you speak in redundancy so redundant the lords of redundancy will tell tales of your redundancy 'til the end of time.

Is there anything morally right about this?

No. Your judging folks who happen to enjoy the nekkid females, and the females who like to do all the nekkid gettin', is nothing but your own prudocity at work.

Is there anything morally wrong about this?

Yes.

Your judgmental attitude over folks you know little to nothing about should be, I contend, considered an immoral judging of folks you know little to nothing about.

are you asking about christiniaty's point of view or human's point of view?

in christianity, both the stripper and the man watching the stripper are sinful for adultery (showing private parts to another man other than your husband and seeing another's private part other then your wife's). very simple.

but if you ask human's point of view, you'll get a lot of variation and the justifications they try to introduce to their point of view.

This is how I view strippers . . .

Aha! So, you are saying you are a desperate person, hmmmm?

Not really true. Rather Strippers are usually working in clubs owned by men and preying on the lust side of mans sexual nature and drive.
Not all men are born with looks and this is a way for eye-candy of a sexual nature.

Men are preying on other mens sexual natures. Paying women to provide the entertainment whilst they fleece the pockets.

The moral issue does not come into it. If people were interested in the morality of the job or the business side, it would not be a business.

Until recently, I had never been to a strip club...

A personal badge of honor, all that moral baggage and the like, who needs it...


Until...
During a birthday celebration for a co-worker I ended up at one.
Not my idea, yet there I was.

It was awesome!
Beer and boobies all in one place?
A one stop shop??

There is a god!!

Free will is a beautiful thing!

Personally, I felt like even though I had avoided any contact with dancing naked women for 40 years I was still mostly morally intact.

It wasn't my idea.
Everyone hates a party pooper??
It's your birthday?

And so....
It wasn't my impression that there was a crowd of sick-o's partaking in these particular set(s) of boobies.

Mostly, folks having fun.

Celebrating the human form?

In art class, drawing a nude subject wasn't considered to be in poor taste, morally wrong.

Yet, watching in a strip club is?

Fine...
Art class should start serving beer.

If one wants to watch strippers in places that charge, they must pay. That's the rule. If you don't want to pay, don't go. Or get it for free online. There's no "taking advantage of people" going on here.

Your morality means nothing to anyone other than you. You see, you likely do many things that others view as immoral. Does that bother you? Does that make you stop doing it? Probably not as others' morality doesn't mean squat to you. Likewise, your morality doesn't mean squat to others.
What I do may seem immoral to you and/or others. I don't care.
You see, morality is up to the individual to contend with in regards to themselves.

Most time, when people start throwing around "that's immoral" to others, they're trying to force their views on others. That doesn't work too well.

I belive there is a principle called supply and demand going on here. Though Im no economist so I don't know for sure.

In point of fact I think it is only sin if you lust after someone who is not your spouse. This can be done just as well with clothing as without; believe me, I am an expert. If you look at someone naked and don't lust after them, no sin has taken place.

I don't see much wrong with a man going to a strip joint and admitting he did. I see a whole lot wrong with the man who preaches against it and then sneaks in after dark.

My wife's sister was a stripper. She earned about $2000 a week and I guess some guys thought she looked good; I didn't think so. She eventually ended up getting raped at a party and I haven't heard anything from her the last 5 years or so. The last I heard she had some children; I wondered how she would feel if her daughter grew up to be a stripper.
