Male Stripping Economics

Every now and then, I receive questions about which political party I'm affiliated with. Until now, I've kept my mouth shut on the subject because this site is about my work as a male stripper rather than a political blog. Despite this, some readers accuse me of being liberal because of my libertine behavior at the parties, or my nonchallant attitude toward gay people and whether they can marry or not. A few have suggested that I'm conservative because I mentioned about carrying a gun everywhere. The truth is, I'm a bit of both.

So who am I voting for? Ron Paul. Ron Paul understands economics and the free market. In fact, he's written several books on the subject, especially regarding Austrian economics.

First of all, the type of male stripping I do stems from a pure free market approach. There are no regulations, Washington beauracrats, or I.R.S. involved. It's just my agent as the mediator, me, and the customers. All of the money the customers pay goes to me and my agent. If I'm acting as my own agent, I get the money. The price of my services, or the price my agent charges is set by the market competition. If another agency wants to compete with us and only charges $150 for their strippers, my agent has to match or beat their prices to remain competitive.

As for regulations, stripping doesn't need them. If a male stripper just outright sucks, the customers complain to the agent and he fires the stripper. If he doesn't fire the stripper, then the agency's reputation is at stake. Therefore, it's the free market that automatically regulates the economy for stripping.

I have been stripping on and off for almost ten years, and I must say that from personal experience, this system works like a charm. It expedites every process from hiring to payment.

So there you have it. That's one reason why I support Ron Paul, since most other politicians (Republicans and Democrats together) prefer Keynesian economics, which has utterly failed the country since 1913. I don't always agree with Ron Paul, but I know he's the only one up there running who isn't full of shit either. Working as a male stripper, I'm used to feeding crowds of women lines of bullshit that they want to hear. When I watch Obama, McCain, Santorum or Romney give speeches, I notice that a lot of what they say is geared towards appeasement of their crowd--something that I do when going to parties. I tell parties of girls how great they are, how they are the best group of girls, or the prettiest, because that is what they want to hear. Is it true? No. They would hate me if I told the truth. Imagine a crowd's reaction if I told them that they were boring and fat if it were the truth. They would hate me. Therefore, if I perform for a party of boring, unattractive girls, I feed them lines of bullshit about how awesome they are. After doing this for years on end, one develops a pretty good radar when it comes to detecting someone else's bullshit.

That said, I don't sense such bullshit from Ron Paul. Perhaps that is why a lot of people can't stand him. No one likes cold, hard facts, especially when they don't sound good. I hope this answers those questions about politics, and clears up where I stand.

Stripping Hiatus

I just installed the internet in my new house. However, I am taking a break from stripping indefinitely because I got a new job that takes up most of time. By the time I'm done with work, I just want to relax, not spend my remaining free time preparing for strip shows. I spoke with my agent about this and he understands. He said to contact him whenever I'm ready to work again.

As for other news, someone wrote this comment to me that I thought should be shared:

You come off Like a prick in much of your blog. You called Diane a whore so what does that make you? Are you a whore too or just the women? You lack morals you willingly involve yourself with married, engaged, and attached women. So quite honestly if any woman cheats on you, quite frankly you will deserve what you get seeing as that you lack such respect for other men. How are you going to call women repulsive? The part of your face we can't see is your eyes. Can see you have an asian face and I don't see anything hot about you. Maybe it's because you're a jackass and a hypocrite that i fail to see you as anything but gross. Just rename your blog to stories of a narcSistic male prostitute.

I found this comment to be highly amusing, because if my actions offend this person so much, then why does he/she continue reading my blog? Judging from the above comment, he/she sifted through a lot of my content, got pissed, but continued reading anyway. As far as me labeling whores versus me being a whore, let me share some wisdom that my friend's mother gave me awhile back: "Men are supposed to be whores."

Edit: I've since returned to stripping.  - Dion 7/27/2013

8 Things I Dislike About Male Stripping

Imperfection exists in all jobs, and like all jobs, even male stripping has its drawbacks. Even though most parties provide me with entertainment, some parties make me want to quit. I know that stripping is easy money, and there are a lot of professions that dish out high stress situations with little pay, but I have to list some points about stripping that I hate. While the list below may seem trivial to some of you hard-working leaders, keep in mind that I have to demonstrate that male stripping is not perfect all the time. This job has its bad moments.

So without further ado, here are the 8 things I dislike about male stripping.

1.) Demanding Girls - These girls resemble the demanding customers who come into any business and nitpick about every little, insignificant detail. Few things satisfy these customers. They are likely to bitch and moan about you despite your best efforts to please them. Fortunately, these girls come few and far between in my line of work.

2.) Mean Girls - Some people are just downright mean no matter what you say or do. Some girls have their barbs aimed at me as soon as I open the door---they just love to throw insults around for no good reasons at all except to make themselves feel better. I notice more of this type at sorority-oriented parties than anything else. Mean girls also tend to be demanding as well, which is the worst combination. In fact, the second party of my career contained both mean and demanding girls, and I almost didn't pursue male stripping because of it. Unfortunate for them, I can leave as soon as I collect the money.

3.) Jealous Men - I have noticed that the mere fact of women paying me to take off my clothes and party with them elicits pure hatred out of some men. I have also noticed that some of these men want to hurt or even kill me if some of the women in the crowd flirt with me. I have dealt with all kinds of bullshit regarding jealous men wanting to fight me throughout my stripping career. While dealing with jealous men is not common, it can be annoying and downright dangerous at times. Once I had a bar full of cowboys wanting to jump me. To remedy this problem, I carry a gun with me at all times.

4.) No Weekends - It's hard to plan a weekend when most of my work falls on a weekend. While most people spend time with their family or friends, I have to go to work. One consoling aspect about male striping is that most parties invite out after the party, so I end up going out. I just spend my weekends with strangers instead of friends.

5.) Jealous Girlfriends - Having a serious girlfriend and being a male stripper do not go hand in hand. Most women tend to have a problem with this job for obvious reasons. Even the more understanding and selfless girls eventually grow discontent after awhile. To avoid this problem, I suggest postponing all serious relationships while working as a male dancer.

6.) Social Taboo - I work a professional job during the day. If this employer discovered that I work as a stripper on the side, they would fire me. So I have to maintain a low profile and cover my tracks.

7.) Driving - I spend the majority of my time driving to and from a location rather than stripping (this may only apply to the male strippers who work private parties instead of shows). Factoring in the cost of gas, car maintenance, and wear and tear on my vehicle, the driving part sucks.

8.) Repulsive Women - Some women are repulsive. They are so scary that I don't even want to go near them. The odor emanating from these women would cause a skunk to wear a gas mask. Some of these women can outweigh sumo wrestlers. So guess what? As a male stripper, you have to entertain these women. A male stripper should not deny one group service due to appearance, meaning that if you stumble upon a party full of overweight women who smell of rancid sweat, then it's your job to entertain them. They paid for a service, and your job is to provide that service. Yes, it sucks sometimes, but you have to smile and do your job.

So there you have it. The eight things I dislike about male stripping. No job is perfect, but male stripping sure rates high on my list. If I could do it all over again, then I would sign up over and over.

Stripper's Log: November 18, 2011

Yesterday, I had a bachelorette party that sounded promising. The girl who hired me was called Amanda, and her eager and excited tone gave me the hint that this was going to be an exciting party. "The bride is really wild," Amanda told me. "She's going to be down for whatever you do to her, and she's going to be all over you."

Amanda told me the location of the party, which would be at the soon-to-be-bride's house. She also wanted me to dress as a cop and arrive around 9 o'clock. I spoke with Amanda a bit more to get more of a feel for the party and learned that the bride was from Poland and that she would love a male stripper. Her mother, who was also from Poland, was going to be there as well. So far, Amanda's story of the bride told me that I was going to have a bachelorette fondling and groping me more in relation to the amount of alcohol imbibed.

At 7 o'clock, I sent a text message to Amanda asking if the party was still good to go. She replied back, wanting to move the party back to 10 o'clock because the girls were still eating at a restaurant. That was fine with me. It gave me more time to prepare.

At 8:56, Amanda sent me this text message (text message is unedited):

"Something just went down, groom is pissed, we have to cancel. I am so sorry."

Rarely in my career as a stripper has anyone ever cancelled one hour before a show. One day perhaps, but not one hour. I wasn't mad at all. Just curious. I had to find out what happened. Below is the text conversation that I had with Amanda:

Me - 8:57 PM : It's okay. What happened?

Amanda - 8:58 PM : Bad fall out with groom. We are all leaving. I have never been apart of such a circus. I am so sorry.

Me - 9:06 PM : It's fine. Sorry you couldn't have fun. Did the groom show up or something?

Amanda - 9:14 PM : He changed his plans and decided to stay at the house. I tried to tell him that we were hoping for some girl time and he got very disrespectful. We are all leaving and getting a hotel room :(

After reading that, I was glad that she cancelled when she did. If such a dramatic scene unfolded with just the girls there, I could only imagine what would have happened had I shown up and stripped for the bride. The pay loss from such a cancellation was well worth avoiding such a situation.

Here is my theory on what happened: The groom knew that his fiance was a wild party girl and didn't trust her alone with a bunch of girls. Therefore, he showed up to crash the party to prevent anything from happening. Of course, every girl was probably thinking that he was the biggest asshole in the world, but I can't really blame the guy. His suspicions were dead on---his fiance, according to Amanda, was wild and she probably would have tried to "get crazy" with me.

So while I applaud this guy for putting his foot down and standing his ground, I cannot help but wonder why he's marrying such a wild party girl in the first place if he feels like he cannot trust her alone. Hence, this is another example of a man who chooses a mate based on girl's beauty rather than her morals and principles.
