"And the Lady Danced 'till Dawn" by Sven The Elder
(strip slub sex) tooshoes:10,9,10
"And the Lady Danced 'till Dawn" by Sven The Elder (10,9,10). Guest Review by tooshoes. I have visited several strip clubs, and unlike Celeste, I have grown quite fond of a few of them. Some have a very nice bar atmosphere, where guys hang out, and the dancers intermingle during breaks. Another such club has pool tables, and the guys mingle with the girls while playing pool. In other places, the dancers will mingle in a more private space. The important thing is to mingle, to make personal contact. Guys will pay a dollar to see bare flesh, but they'll pay much more for female companionship. Sven's story does a good job capturing the feel of such a club and the way dancers interact with customers, until the line between reality and erotica blurs. In other words, this story is about sex, not voyourism or frustration. Like most patrons, Mike goes into a strip club looking for some friendly conversation and a good eye show. Maybe a lap dance or two. Unlike most patrons, Mike is gonna get very lucky. I've seen a number of stories along the same idea (a guy gets lucky at a strip club), but "The Lady Danced" is more thoughtful than most with believable characters. Overall, a satisfying read, though the ending was a little unclear.
