Page "Stripper" Paragraph 2

Touching of strippers is not permitted in many localities.

However, some dancers and clubs allow touching of dancers during private dances.

If permitted, during a lap dance the dancer grinds against the customer's crotch while he or she ( typically he ) remains clothed in an attempt to arouse or bring the recipient to climax.

In parts of the USA, there are laws forbidding the exposure of female nipples, which have to be covered by pasties by the dancer.

Research suggests that exotic dancing can pay well, but often at a significant cost to the stripper.

The reason for this is because of the negative stigma associated with exotic dancing.

Dancers use props such as make-up, clothing, costumes, and appealing fragrances to complete their character and maintain their " front ".

Research on linkages between lesbianism and stripping, still classified as deviant behavior in conservative social climates, has asserted that " some exotic dancers become lesbians because of their isolation from effective social relationships and their overall dissatisfaction with males ".
