Strip clubs are insane in other countries

Because it's generalised, judgemental bullshit.
Of course sex trafficking is a thing, but it's nonsense to suggest all the girls are there non-voluntarily. In Australia, it's highly regulated and very lucrative for the girls.
Yo, why you ragging on US strip Clubs...they do have perks too.

But... they said no such thing? Read the post again, 'cause I can't see how you'd get that from the post.
What? He implied the girls OP paid for were not there voluntarily, and were lying to him. As I said: generalised, judgemental bullshit.
You're my new hero.
Hopefully they aren't on heroin. Seems like most turn to stripping or flat out prostitution to support their habit, especially in places like Ohio or WV.

If that is what he said, that is not the same as saying all the girls are there non-voluntarily.
My personal opinion? Along the lines of many here. Most girls aren't in that business because they like it, however some are. The idea of perfect strangers spreading my buttcheeks doesn't really appeal. I don't think its just me. It makes customers feel better to believe that the strippers they encounter genuinely enjoy their work. The alternative is depressing and not good for the ego. The strippers keep up this fiction because its good for business.
There are exceptions, of course. But the women who speak about empowerment and claiming their power tend to be pretty white girls who generally have more options than women of color. There are people in the sex industry who really love their work. But in my experience they are outnumbered by people who are personally broken in some way and trying to get by. As they say in Australia, the odds are good, but the goods are odd.

Not really, trafficking is bringing the girls there either under false pretenses or force (usually violence against them or family).

I'd argue you're probably more likely to find a woman willing to fuck you for free on Tinder than at a strip club, and you don't have to pay to find the girl on Tinder.

Trafficking involves coercion or force. So for example, if a person decides to go overseas to strip, that's not trafficking. If, once she gets there, they take away her passport and tell her she can't get it back unless she strips there for a year, that's trafficking.

Nonsense. Last dancer girl I chatted with in a London club was an uni student, she was doing the job to save enough money to go VIP in Glastonbury.
Also OP, you need to go Berlin next.

Where you get into trouble is the bolded. Yes, there's sex trafficking on the Eurasian continent, just like there's sex trafficking everywhere else. But making offhand statements like "the entire industry" is being trafficked is just overexaggerating to the point of hyperbole.
And as for facing the realities of sex work, most people who are working below high-upper class don't like their jobs. Does it suck that people that don't like sex work are doing it as a job to make ends meet? Yes, it absolutely does. But, IMO, that aspect of it sucks just as much as the fact that most of the people that work at your favorite fast food joint hate it there, too. You want to get rid of that, you're going to have to pass serious economic reform in whatever country you're in so that people aren't forced to work jobs they hate for money that they need, and you'll end up fixing a lot more than "the realities of sex work".

In Asia I think it would reduce considerably if there was a government old age pension. A lot of those girls are working on behalf of the family, to take care of their parents, because that's culturally how they're programmed to think and it is the best source of income available to the family unit.
This is their livelihood, they're not going to get a STD and destroy it.
Dude...an STD ain't gonna make them stop. Maybe if the club they work makes them get tested. Some even take years to show signs other than through blood work...
My point is that in the main, they are extremely careful. So wear protection but don't assume all sex workers have STDs. (Or even better, sort your life out so that you're not having to pay for sex.)
Same Eastern European girls, just different rules.

I've known two strippers in my life. One was my ex. Never met people with more money to spend than them. I know trafficking is a problem, but neither of those ever mentioned that, so it didn't seem like an issue at the clubs they worked at. Seemed like their colleagues were generally students, and/or ladies who just chose to do this instead of other work due to the cash.
My ex was rather hostile towards the whole "strippers are victims" angle. She called it reverese feminism bullshit designed to rob women of their sexual agency. She liked getting up on stage. Made her feel powerful. Shrugs.

If you keep paying her $300-500 a week I swear she will fall in love with you.
I was at one when i was over watching Bayern Munich. Great stuff!
He should try this thesis. You know... for science!

Guys, I had a girlfriend who would let me spread her butt cheeks for free all day everyday.

Try Mexico too. Way way cheaper and they offer all kinds of services.
A mid end strip club in Monterrey (NE of the country) would charge you $2 USD a beer, $10 USD a private dance and you can buy girls a drink for about $5 or $6 USD. While on your table she sits on your lap, kisses you or whatever. It's up to the girl.
For about $50 USD you can have sex with the dancer (if she wants to).
I met several people from the industry and dated a couple. At least at these clubs human trafficking was non existant or so uncommon it wasn't widely known among the girls. Most of them were young girls who liked to party or single moms trying to provide for their families. I bet most of the second group would rather be doing something else but kept doing it because they were making much more money than doing a regular job.
Most of them will tell you whatever to keep your money. If you want to date a stripper spending money is the worst way to do it. They know better than to mix business with pleasure so if you are their customer, you will stay that way. It's ok to have fun but never forget it's just a fantasy, not the best way to meet girls.

Paying for education is a super super common cover story. They are all doing it for some virtuous reason.

Yes, you're supposed to give her $300 and boast about it on GAF afterwards.

Oh I totally agree. In any situation all it comes down to is not being a creep. Ive never used tinder but its like that for some of bdsm community. Fetlife was my go to place for some of my curiosities
I've only ever been to strip clubs on a handful of occasions, and always at the invitation of women, most of whom were gay or queer. I have never spent money on anything but cover charges and beverages.
I thought it would be super depressing the first time, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. A feature dancer gave me and some other guy remote controls, then brought out two RC cars with dildos attached to them. She got down on all fours and had us compete to drive our dildo-cars directly into her Carrie Bradshaw, like we were a couple of rebel scum trying to fire torpedoes into a thermal exhaust port. I was the victor, and she gave me a poster. It was on my fridge for a while, but it's gone now.

If this doesn't become OP's tag then I'm grabbing my broom and declaring Shenanigans.
Preach. It would be great if women would lower their self esteems en masse enough for me to seem a viable option for them. Who has the time to elevate themselves instead of lowering others to their level? I mean, if it's not too much trouble.

Glastonbury is a music festival, not a school. She said she doesn't need money for school, she dances because she wants to live the high life with VIP tents, champagne and whatever else.
