A Dodgeblog colleague of mine (male) and I were discussing certain aspects of what is considered “normal”. It struck both us odd that is fine for a young single man to go to a strip club, but it is seen as odd for the same person to go to a fetish/goth/rock club. Why is that? Why it is worse to admit that you spent the previous night at a place with males and females on equal footing engaged in something they enjoy, than to spend time somewhere where women strip for money? Surely the prior is concensual and thus more moral? Dressing up has always been part of going to college, boarding school, camp, or university!
Truth be told, I never ever “got” strip clubs. Why would one subject oneself to gyrating naked females that one could not touch unless one were a total masochist*? The few times I have been dragged to this type of place I found then terribly boring and most unsexual/erotic. Most women I know agree with me about the female equivalent, but many of my male acquaintances think I am a freak (well after implying I am gay). What is more fun: test-driving a car or window-shopping for cars? I rest my case.
- Dodgeblog has nothing against masochism per se. After all, at least one of us always thought Stephen Milligan MP was a decent chap, despite his europhilia.
