Nipples: a little lime and salt around the edges.

Maybe you could get a valkyrie costume from a nearby opera supply store.

One friend of mine (she had to take one of the few drugs which really does come through the breast milk at unsafe levels, so she had to go cold turkey) simply told her daughter, “The milk’s all gone! You drank it all! All gone!” Surprisingly, it worked.

Thinking about the OP, I wonder what effect the salt and lime might have on a person later in life.

“Geez, Bob! you really like those tequilas!”

“Yeah. I don’t know why, but they remind me of home…”

“Okay, but you do know a real margarita isn’t made with heavy cream, right?”

“You make 'em your way, I’ll make 'em mine.”

Yes, lots of dancers use this to prevent licking. It works.

I do so love the Dope.

I ordered some bitter apple spray last night.
We’ll see how that works.

Indygrrl:

I thought that’s (part of) what bouncers are for. Assuming you’re referring to adult entertainment establishments, I thought they always have a no-touching rule.

If a guy has got money and is deterred all peaceful like of his own volition, then why would you *want *him thrown out?

WhyNot:

Well, unless “Bitter Apple Tasting Boobs” is somehow publicized, I imagine that the spray is a deterrent only to those who’ve already crossed the line and licked, and then, that might not convince the creep that he might not get lucky with one of the other girls. Big, beefy bouncers ready to toss customers who get out of line would, I think, encourage a greater comfort level amongst the scantily-clad employees.

Some clubs don’t have bouncers, some clubs allow contact, some dancers allow contact, etc. The laws and rules are different in every state and in every club. There’s nothing a bouncer can do if you are in a private dance with a guy and he licks you. They aren’t going to see something that’s close-up between you and the custie.

The best line of defense is being an experienced dancer and knowing how to use “defensive dancing” to your advantage. I couldn’t tell you the last time I was licked or grabbed. It just doesn’t happen to me. But newbies almost always have these problems. That is when we recommend the bitter apple spray to them.

If I started an “ask the stripper” thread, what forum would it go in? IMHO or MSPIS?

I’m thinking that if hellspawn is talking, it understands “no”, or at least it should. There will be disappointment, to be sure, but the sooner it tastes the bitterness of unfulfilled desires, the sooner it will become acclimated to what some of us call “real life”. My personal philosophy was, if a child wanted something I didn’t want him to have, I told him “no”. He would, of course, run through the entire reportoire of vocal unpleasantness, which ultimately yielded no results for him, and he learned what “no” meant.

If you can’t say no to this what does your future hold?

Indygrrl, color me educated. I thought enforced “no touching” was pretty much a rule all over - not by law, but as a business necessity for the image of the club and the comfort of the dancers.

MPSIMS would probably be best.

Well, see, the painful part comes when the kiddo (or possibly 1010011010) has to drink it all up.

Holy wizened mammaries!

Ok, here is the thread for anyone who is interested:

Boy does that clear that up, Im sitting here trying to figure out why ballet dancers needed to prevent licking. Dont know why but when I hear “dancer” thats what I think.

Im not a prude, I swear…

Um, the list for adult males is pretty much the same.

Me too. I’m working on promoting a book of ballet photographs right now, so I just immediately assumed it had something to do with ballet dancers trying to train themselves to not moisten their lips when they’re onstage, or something.
