For the sake of research, I ran this question by my SO, and received the following response:

“Hell yes!” 😃

So now what’s the etiquette, here? Does he pay for my lap dance, or do I? Do I tip her, or does he?

Meh, been there, done that, more times than I can count. (Not recently though) That’s what I get for dating stippers when I was in my early twenties.

I think somebody’s been giving you a false impression of titty bars. Every strip joint I’ve been to, you could touch the dancers. (with in reason) Or at least they’ve never stoped me.

That quote gave me a good chuckle…

hm, mrAru said he didnt see the point of _me_ getting a lap dance, it wouldnt be much of a turn on for him [he pretty much doesnt like strip clubs/titty bars, he would rather pick up someone and get laid. FWIW, when he was still navy we had a deal where he could get laid in certain areas where there was regulated prostitution provided it wasnt bareback and he got tested before getting back in bed with me. He never brought home any diseases, and I have never asked him if he got laid while out of the country.]

By “touching” I meant “groping”. And around here, it’s strictly up to the individual dancer what she will allow the customer to do.

That sounds like fun. Although I’m a little concerned as to why they call it the Outhouse.

Yep, it would definitely turn me on. Doubt the wife would go for it, although she did say once she’d like to watch me get a lapdance.

I would most certainly not be turned on by the thought. Sorry. I don’t really want anyone rubbing my wife lacisviously except me, and that includes professional strippers of either sex.

I’m very sure I’m not gay.

But the idea of a threesome is not consistent with what my understanding of marriage vows are. I have no desire to engage in the fantasy that my wife wants a girl-on-girl experience. The idea is not remotely exciting.

So, at least now you know of one straight man that would reject such a suggestion.

No touchy around here. Will get a large muscled bouncer throwing your ass out the door.

It seems to me that the dancer should give you both a lap dance, at the sametime.

Back when I was married, I really enjoyed the occasions when I went to strip clubs with my wife. I would buy her lapdances, and she would get _very_ excited throughout the dance(s). We never had problems finding a woman who would dance for another woman. It was a lot of fun for me to see her so aroused, and then when we got home, well… 😃

My boss recently remarked that every guy he knows loves girl on girl gay action except the friend of his who is gay. After tallying up the anecdotes and converting them to scientific data we concluded that he has a definitive test for “gayness”.

He does and he does…

Err…or so I’ve been told. 😃

I’d like it. My girlfriend was too young for stripclubs when we were together in Dallas, but she always wanted to go to one. I don’t like to go to strip clubs in general, but I’d go with her if she wanted to. I like seeing mostly nekkid girls walking around, but I don’t like paying $7 for a beer.

Sexy Wife and I have done this a few times, and we’ve met a couple of strippers that ended up being “friends with fringe benefits” in the process. As long as everyone respects everyone else’s limits (such as they are), then why not?

For anyone keeping score in the thread, I’m another straight guy who has never found girl-on-girl sensuality or strip clubs particularly stimulating or interesting. I forward through those scenes in the movies, and I have no desire to go to a club (yes, I have been: twice for other guys’ bachelor parties, and once to shoot a TV commercial for the club). Maybe it’s because I think too much, but when I see those things, rather than enjoying whatever it is I’m supposed to enjoy, I think about how artificial and oddly affected they are, and I derive no pleasure from them. Now, I’ll admit this puts me into an evident minority, which I find mildly perplexing, but there you go.

I gotta ask-how many guys here would be agreeable if your gals requested watching YOU get a lapdance…from a MALE stripper?

I’m not a guy, but my response is Hell Yes!, I’d enjoy watching Mrs. Six get a lapdance from a stripper.
