Like from what I understand you're not allowed to touch the workers because then it becomes prostitution. So like. A bunch of boys just get together and sit down to watch some girls dancing naked? And they just kinda grin at each other and say "hey isn't it awesome when there's boobs?"

You can't jerk off so they just go to get boners with their buddies? You can do that at home. You can just watch porn with the fellas or have a circlejerk.

I've never understood why it's seen as a straight masculine thing to go to a place where the only thing you can do is get horny with other men.

Having never been myself, I'm speculating a bit, but I've talked about it with coworkers who go in the past and I suspect it's more of a power fantasy. It's a place where attractive women who wouldn't normally give them the time of day will fawn over them because they have money.

Yep that's the main appeal. Attractive women you pay to hang out with you. A temporary salve for loneliness in a world where real community is rare.

I’ve read from some strippers who claim most of their clients pay them for a private dance then request to just talk lol. In the richest country, the only affordable medicine is alcohol, McDonald’s, guns, and strippers

America hasn't invented host/hostess bars yet? Japan is way ahead of them in that aspect of weird capitalist nonsolutions to loneliness, it appears.
