to not want DP to go in a lapdancing club on his mates stag do?

mummee09v · 28/03/2010 12:49

my dp is off on a stag night in a couple of months. its just a load of mates going out in town but there has been talk about them going in lapdancing bars.

i have laughed it off to my dp and tried to be the cool girlfriend about it and made out i couldnt care less as i dont want to seem controlling or jealous. i have even said i dont care if he has a private dance! because i want to come across as cool, as i know his ex used to stop him doing things and i dont want to be like that as he really resented her for it.

but i HATE the idea of it and know i will be furious if he does end up in one. the thought of him ogling some naked girl/s who will probably be a)younger then me b)prettier than me and c)have a better body than me (i have had 2 kids, say no more) kills me....i know that it would only be a laugh for them and nothing would happen other than them looking at the girls but i would be so jealous, coz how could he not compare their young fit bodies to my 30 year old, had-2-kids body?

so i am kind of testing him in a way by saying i dont care, and "allowing" him to go in one, but surely if he loved and fancied me as much as he says he does he wouldnt need to go look at sexy young girls?

also the stag's bride is my best friend (in fact i will be on her hen do the same night) and i know for a fact she would go nuts if she found out her husband to be had been in one as we have already spoken about it and she has the same insecurities as me.

Cough cough, actually Dittany, I have posted a lot, but name changed several times in other areas. TTC for one and a few others, so less of the attack por favor! I'm just offereing another point of view.

AnyFucker · 28/03/2010 18:44

shaz...yes, of course

that is why I am a frigid bitch who likes to keep my husband pussywhipped and never lets him do anything he might like

now do fuck off, dear

kittycat37 · 28/03/2010 18:45

Yep wwifn.... it's making more sense now.

mummysgoingmad · 28/03/2010 18:47

ok then lets all do a virtual show of hands who has actually been in a lapdincing club??

me!

JellyJealous · 28/03/2010 18:47

Lol, at AF

Im off ladies, need to go and pile a load of fake tan and make up on happy 'debating the merits of nakedness and objectification' its been fun

Shaz10 · 28/03/2010 18:50

Aha, I get it.

Gay40 · 28/03/2010 18:51

You can pick me up in a hour to go get a lapdance, yeah. What's more, my mrs says she'll come too and have one herself

BitOfFun · 28/03/2010 18:53

I haven't sent my kids up a chimney lately, but I still know that child labour is wrong- I don't see the relevance of whether people have been to a lap dancing club or not, tbh.

Although some on this thread have, and said they felt very uncomfortable.

kittycat37 · 28/03/2010 18:53

mummysgoingmad - I haven't been inside Guantanemo Bay - do you think I'd change my opinion of it if I just made the effort to visit?

Alouiseg · 28/03/2010 18:55

Lap dancing clubs are not exclusively packed to the gills with single men, I would love to know what percentage are married and what percentage lie to their wives about it.

Out of all the people i can think of whose dp/dh has left them not one has left them for a lap dancer/stripper it's usually people they work with or socialise with.

Anyone?

maltesers · 28/03/2010 18:55

Dont blame you mummy09.....i wouldnt like it either.

AnyFucker · 28/03/2010 19:04

yup, I haven't been burgled either

but I reserve my right to judge the bastards who burgle houses

Alouiseg...you are not reading the thread properly

this is sooo not about people being scared their menfolk will run off with a lapdancer

you just don't get it, do you ?

mummysgoingmad · 28/03/2010 19:05

i cant believe some of you are actually comparing a lapdancing club to Guantanemo Bay or comparing sex workers to child labour, you really need to get out more!!

wonderingwondering · 28/03/2010 19:05

Aloiuse, it's not that I'm worried about my DH running off with a lapdancer. It's that I fundamentally object to the sex industry and the inequality between men and women it embodies, and if DH can't respect that, I can't respect him.

It's like parading your fur coat in front of a vegetarian and expecting her to admire it.

BitOfFun · 28/03/2010 19:06

Er, it's a metaphor to illustrate a point, you know?

Alouiseg · 28/03/2010 19:07

Yes AF I do get it but I refuse to pander to your interpretation of it.

wonderingwondering · 28/03/2010 19:07

As in, you have respect for the views of people you care about, you don't do as you please then rub their noses in it, and if they object, accuse them of being 'uncool'.

BitOfFun · 28/03/2010 19:08

Another glass of wine, Anyfucker? I quite fancy one...

AnyFucker · 28/03/2010 19:08

well, louise, you save your pandering for your dh

kittycat37 · 28/03/2010 19:12

mummysgoingmad - we'll just have to agree to differ. I'm not strictly speaking making a comparison between a lapdancing club and Guantanemo Bay (although I think there are some excellent parallels) - rather, am pointing out flawed logic.

Child labour is actually a better analogy IMO.

I get out quite a lot actually.

GeekOfTheWeek · 28/03/2010 19:12

As previously posted by myself. I have been in a strip club. It wasn't erotic. At all. It was seedy and the women were not v attractive.

LindenAvery · 28/03/2010 19:15

Child labour and sex workers.......sometimes the two are the same...I wonder how many underage girls are working in these places?

kittycat37 · 28/03/2010 19:16

BOF - can I have a glass of wine too?????

LindenAvery · 28/03/2010 19:19

And me!! A large glass
