Would you "allow" your significant other go to the strip club, even though you trust him/her wholeheartedley? I trust that my fiance won't do anything and I really don't have that much of a problem with him going, but does anyone else feel the same way. It is not like he goes all the time, but right now, for example, he will be going later tonight because of a friends birthday. Opinions, thoughts, questions.....

I guess I dont see the reason behind it.if you are his partner why dose he need to go to a stripper bar and be teased by other weomen im sorry I think its moraly wrong to show yourself like that what kind of respect could one have for them? But anyhow no I would not want my man to go he can see all he wants at home.

There is nothing wrong if one enjoys looking at something beautiful. It shouldn't imply that their is anything wrong with his spouse. He obviously enjoys much more than looking at her if he chose to marry her.

I would like to think my partner wouldn't feel the need to go to one of these places but I would also like to think that I could go to a male strip club with his ok, which some men would not allow so me being one who believes in equality is where the problem might start, I had a friend once who went to a strip club for his bucks night and when I asked what his bride to be did he said she had a kitchen tea with her friends, I said she should have gone to a male strip show instead , he was horrified, and me being one that asks questions asked why it was ok for him and not her he said, because she may see something that might make her disppointed in him...now please doesn't that go both ways... men

We went to an out of state weddding about a year ago. My hubby was best man and the "guy" party the night before went to one. I didn't like it but didn't make a big deal about it. If he wanted to go with any regularity I wouldn't like that at all. That is the only time he has been since we have been together though.

i dont really think my partner needs to go to one of those places so id prefer if he didnt, but if he wanted to i wouldnt say no, but he never wanted to go. actually a while back he wanted to but he said on one condition... that i went with him lol. and i said no way, im not into stuff like that so we ended up not going. but if it was part of a bucks night or something i wouldnt care if he went.

I would "allow" my BF to go to a strip club, but that is partially because I'm pretty sure he wouldn't enjoy it a whole lot. He's just not really into that kind of thing (or, he is a great actor and has completely fooled me for years to lull me into a false sense of security!). Sometimes that's just the "male bonding" thing they need to do, so why fight it. Needless to say, I'm pretty much known as the "cool girlfriend" among his buddies.

The whole concept of "allowing", or not allowing your partner to do something is baffling to me. They're a person, not your property; and they are an adult not your child.

and that is why I put allow in quotation marks. My boyfriend would never go for anything if I told he was not allowed. In fact he would be more likely to do it because I said he couldn't. I am basically just curious to know other people's opinion on the matter.

My husband has gone a couple of times with his friends but it doesn't bother me because he actually calls me while he's there and tells me how bored he is. He says he hates strip clubs because it's not like he gets to do anything but look at them and he says I have a better body then all the strippers there.

I have no problem with my husband going to a strip club. I trust him completely and know for a fact that nothing will ever happen. But I also have the mentality that if he ever did cheat on me then he is not worth my time and energy and he will be the one losing someone great, not me. So I trust him to put our realtionship and love first and keep his hands and anything else to himself ;)

well I have no problem with that when his friends call him they do go to the strip club sometimes as do I with my friends occasionally its not a big deal unless he seems adicte4d and goes way too often by him self then I would start to wonder but i trust him and he as not done any thing to make me feel I need to think twice about the trust I have for him

That's kind of tricky. If right now my s/o wanted to go, I would be bothered. I just had our youngest less than 6 months ago so it would probably chip into my self esteem a little. I would be thinking he would rather look at those girls than be home looking at me and that would be tough to take right now. I've almost gotten my figure back but it would still be..."uncomfortable" to know he was there. On the other hand though, before I got pregnant with our oldest together, we used to go to one together quite often. We both got to be friends with some of the girls and would go and hang out with them. It was a fun night out and never bothered me at all...it also usually led to a fun night in after we got home too so that was a bonus.

No I don't like my bf going. I have heard way too many stories from his past and why does he need to go there when he has me..lol..If i wanted to go to one for woman he wouldn't even let me out the door and well I am really jellous. We have fought over that before and he has gone out with a few strippers that he had met at the club and spent his money on(brfore we met). So I feel I have reasons to not let him go, well I can't stop him but as far as I know he hasen't gone.

If my partner would want to go to a strip club I wouldn't have a problem with it. I completely trust her. However, I know that she isn't the type to go watch men strip. She has been invited several times by her friend and she always turns them down.

Well that is a touchy subject I believe that if he respected you he wouldnt go because why put himself in an environment where it could happen even though you trust him he is human and if hes drinking and staring at half naked girls and his friends are all there cheering it all on he may end up making a mistake that he and you will regret later on.

You mentioned the key word sheenac...TRUST. When my hubby and I first started getting serious about our relationship I was gone for a weekend and he went to a strip club, and lied about it. Obviously he got caught and I was fit to be tied, it almost ended our relationship. Not because he went to a strip club but because he lied about it. I've found that when people really don't plan on doing anything wrong they are honest about where they are going. He didn't do anything wrong that weekend, but it was just he impression that he did that was enough. So if you trust each other and are being honest, no problem.

I have always told my husband to go ahead. He never has, but I would not care if he did. It is a form of entertainment and should he choose to partake, no big deal to me. I have friends that find that mortifying, but it is the type of marriage we have and I am glad.
