This section includes some tips on how to get the most from a
stripper. The guide is color coded.
Blue is primary for the
boys
Pink is primarily for the
ladies
Green is a go for
both
Red is not really
recommended.
   - Plan Ahead - As
   with anything, you've got to remember the 6-P principle: Proper
   Planning Prevents Piss-Poor Performance. Things to plan include:   
   
      - Will the stripper come to you or will you go to them?
- Do you have an adequate location?
- Do you have adequate transportation?
- What exactly do you want to see? Please don't let the law
      cloud your judgement here. Breaking the law at a
      bachelor/bachelorette party is par for the course.
 
- Shop And Ask
   Around
   -There
   is always someone who knows more than they should about strippers.
   Find out which of your friends has spent too many singles lately
   and find out what they know. Be warned, strip clubs change
   personnel rapidly. A club that had the best strippers last year
   could be struggling now. The same is true for home stripper
   services.
- Be Demanding On The
   Phone-
   The time to negotiate is on the
   phone. When the stripper has arrived and forty of your drunk
   friends are inside you won't be in a position to negotiate. The
   time to negotiate is when you are speaking on the phone and trying
   to arrange for a stripper. At this stage if they don't agree to
   your proposal you can always call another place. Be tough on the
   phone. 
- See
   Pictures
   - It isn't a bad idea to look at
   what you are ordering. It might require a visit to the stripper's
   agency, but it might be worth it. After all who doesn't want to
   spend five minutes looking at hot bods in bathing
   suits.
- Get Something In
   Writing- An agreement is writing
   is all you will have if the stripper doesn't arrive, is four hours
   late, doesn't perform, etc. Remember, you are dealing with
   questionable folks here. If they were reliable, responsible folks
   they would have a real job. 
- Possible
   Disappointments-    
   
      - The stripper is late: How
      punctual can a person that does THIS for a living be? Any more
      than an hour late is a buzz kill. (it might be a good idea to
      schedule the stripper to be done in time to hit the strip
      joints afterward).
- Bad seats at the strip bar:
      Call ahead to get better seats and a break on admission. The
      time to negotiate is not standing at the door. What are you
      going to do, leave?
- Ugly stripper. Some of them
      are really ugly. The more remote your location the uglier they
      will probably be. Not everyone is willing to take off their
      clothes for money.
- Boring show. Make sure
      something funny is going to happen. Most strippers have a
      "hook". It could be the pizza guy thing or the part where the
      groom drinks tequilla from her navel. Make sure it is something
      good. I saw a show once where the stripper (really kind of a
      dominatrix) handcuffed the groom and dressed him up with her
      lipstick. "Isn't he pretty" she screamed. It was
      hilarious.
- Bride or Groom is not the center
      of attention. Make sure the stripper knows who the guest of
      honor is. 
- The law doesn't allow anything
      fun: This is a problem. It is not unsolvable however, you
      just have to do some more work. Find someone that knows someone
      that can get the real thing. Find out which strip clubs are
      breaking the law these days. I'm sure one of them
      is.
- No Sober Form Of
      Transportation: This can be a common occurence. The D.D.
      has a few too many. Ouch. Pick your D.D. carefully.
- You bought stripper drinks all
      night, paid for ten lap dances and the stripper does not go
      home with you: You are an idiot. Give up now. 
 
- Licking Lesbians Might Not
   Cut It - I have a friend that
   judges a bachelor party by how kinky things get. Actually, every
   guy I know judges a bachelor party this way. If you want kink,
   you've got to agree to it up front. Make sure the stripper(s) will
   bring their own equipment and try to get an agreement that they
   will use it. Otherwise you might pay for Lesbians and get two
   girls hugging. Like Larry Says "If I see one more Lesbian show
   without a double-@!(@* I'm going to puke". 
- You Might Not Like What Is
   Under That Thong
   - Male strippers generally "tie
   it off" or use a cock ring to maintain their erection. Let's face
   it, dancing in front of a crowd of drunk women isn't a turn on
   after the first three times. So you might not want to see the
   device that was necessary.
- A Fiver Isn't Worth Five
   Singles - The stripper can't tell
   the difference between a five and a single from two feet away.
   Besides, five bucks isn't going to get you anything. See the
   idiots a the end of the bar, they are plopping down twenties and
   fifties and when the night is over they will be just as lonely as
   you. 
- Keep the money close to
   home - Don't throw money at the
   stripper. That is a waste. Get them to sing for their supper baby!
      
   
      - Put a rolled up single behind your
      ear. 
- Put a buck in your back pocket and
      scream "Grab it if you want it!". 
- Put a rolled up single in your
      cleavage. 
 
- No Cash
   Advances
   - The biggest scam going is for
   strip clubs to give you a cash advance on your credit card. Of
   course there is a surcharge. Sometimes I hear it is upwards of
   five bucks. There is nothing like making budgeting decisions with
   a strippers butt in your face. Decide how much bread you are
   bringing and stick to it. Hide an extra twenty bucks in your shoe.
   Your friends will think you are terrific when, after you close the
   last bar you can buy everyone grilled cheese sandwiches at the all
   night diner.
- Lap Dances Should Be Done
   In Private
   - That way you can lie about what
   happened. Afterall, who wants to say that you wasted 20 bucks and
   all you got was a quick feel. It is much better to tell your
   friends some lewd tales the next day.
- Learn The Real Rules By
   Watching Guys With Tattoos - Any
   strip club has regulars, they know what you can touch. They have
   tattos. They sit near the stage. Watch them. 
- Hookers
   and
   Gigolos-
   You might want to think twice about this. Even if you have thought
   that it might be exciting, have you considered these
   factors:   
   
      - Your friends will either be disgusted
      or will be pounding on the door to be next. 
- You may not be the first that night.
      Heck, you might not even be in the first ten.
- You are one condoms thickness away
      from a venerial disease. 
- They are faking. 
- You really aren't that
      good.
 
- Tattoos or No
   Tattoos-
   I once commented that I didn't like strippers with tattoos. One of
   my friends said that he did. We had a little discussion. Another
   friend pointed out that if you look around the strip bar the guys
   spending all the money have tattoos and they like tattoos. I guess
   strippers with tattoos just know their target audience a little
   better. 
- A
   Strip-O-Gram
   - Any place cute enough to call
   it a strip o gram, isn't cool enough to show anything hot. Do you
   really want to shell out a couple of hundred bucks and then not
   see any genitalia? 
- Lying
   -
   When telling the story to your
   girlfriend or boyfriend always do two things:  
   
      - Add one item of clothing to the
      minimum that the stripper had on. If they were nude, say they
      had on a thong, if they had a thong say it was underwear. If
      they wore underwear, shoot yourself, you are an
      idiot.
- Always leave out the raunchiest part
      and emphasize the cutest. Don't talk about the part where the
      lesbians had sex with each other. Talk about how Bob was so
      drunk he fell asleep before the stripper arrived. 
- You spent 10 dollars in singles.
      Everyone knows ten bucks can't buy enough to get you in
      trouble. 
 
- What is it With The Body
   Guard Guy- If he is a little guy,
   they say he has a gun. If he is a big guy he doesn't need one. I
   never figured I'd test them. Be my guest though. Let me know how
   it goes (if you survive).
- Avoid Upselling
   -Don't
   buy the strippers anything. This is called "upselling". It is the
   act of getting customers that have entered the club to spend more
   than they expect. First it was admission, then a six dollar beer,
   will you continue with a ten dollar lap dance, a twenty dollar
   private dance, buy the stripper a drink (for ten bucks), One
   hundred might get you into a shower with two strippers (hmmm,
   maybe upselling isn't too bad). 
- Be Wary of Pay-In-Advance
   -If
   these people were honest in business they wouldn't be exploiting
   people. If the stripper didn't have a cocaine problem they
   wouldn't be dancing for a living. Scum bags and coke-heads aren't
   the kind of people you should trust to make good on a promise. If
   you have to pay 1/2 in advance do so. Don't expect much if you pay
   everything up front. 
- If you are the groom, don't
   wear underwear- Everyone has seen the
   stage show where the stripper takes off the grooms pants to writer
   her name on his underwear. We have also seen the group of
   strippers give the groom a wedgie. How about when the strippers
   tear the wasteband off his tighty whities. Give everyone a show,
   leave the underwear behind.
