First, we need to have some common definitions so you know what I’m talking about.

Asshole: the most common name for customers.

Dancer:  Nice name for a stripper.

Escort: A man or woman that consorts with men for money.

Exotic Dancer: A stripper that puts a lot of time into being able to dance in a way that is more entertaining.

Rapists: commonly used name to describe the customers.

Sex Worker: When everybody got tired of getting called names that make them feel bad this politically correct name was created.  It applies to everybody else not defined here working in sex-related jobs.

Strip club: A business that is licensed to allow male or females to disrobe completely. A federal court decided that states cannot regulate how much the stripper takes off or displays. They can actually put on sex shows now.

Stripper: 1. A male or female that works in a strip club and is allowed to take off their clothes only at a specifically licensed location by state and local law.  2. slang name for a sex worker.

Pedophiles: commonly used name to describe the customers.

Pole Dancer:  Strippers very rarely call themselves this. 1. This is an art and sport and very few people are very very good at it. 2. More frequently used by clueless individuals in social media that think strippers all dance and do pole tricks.

Pond scum: This is a definition I learned from a stripper over 25 years ago to describe anybody that walks in the door of a strip club.  It fits.

Prostitute: A man or woman that provides sexual services for another.
