ORIGINAL: Stephann Strippers do random, sometimes bizzare things because the normal social rules don't really apply to them anymore. They live in a world that only other sex workers can understand, a world that they can't exactly call their daddy about and ask for advice Speaking from my own experience as a former stripper... yeah, I'll agree with this. The worst part is trying to unlearn it all and fit back into the social stream enough to function. It really is a completely different world, and something of a vortex or a black hole where every time you try to get away, it sucks you right back in. I spent almost two years trying to get away and barely made it. I can't say that the OP is necessarily a fakepost because I've seen and done some weird shit during my days as a dancer. I've been blind to blatant abuse such as what she describes. It was asked by someone previously in this thread how any real human being could not realize what was happening to them. My response is denial, self-medication, and a complete loss of your ties to reality. We had a saying in the business that if you didn't get out before a year was up, chances were you were never going to leave. I saw it happen to girls who said that they were just doing it for extra cash and ended up quitting their decent 9 to 5 jobs to dance full-time, and saw what it did to them. Some were okay with it. Most weren't. It takes a special kind of person to be able to handle the world of the sex industry without going completely mad or turning into basically a mindless zombie. Who knows why the profile of the OP was deleted... either she came here specifically to ask a question, or maybe she was fake after all (but honestly it's one of the best fakes I've ever read). I can only hope that she's not gone because some psychopathic bastard decided to take matters into his own hands. Which is not far out of the realm of possibility, considering that one of the girls I used to work with ended up dead in a ditch somewhere because of a similar situation.
