question for ex-strippers or those leaving the industry
Honestly i’m not sure if i’m just in a mood lately or what, but I got a corporate job about two months ago and have been occasionally dancing on weekends. Right now, it’s been two weeks since I’ve been into the club. I still see all the posts of my old coworkers and bosses. I used to miss it a lot towards the beginning, missing that freedom and fun.
Lately ive been plagued with more- disgust and disturbed kind of feelings?
For example, I just saw a picture of my coworkers out ”promoting” with the boss and the owner. I know that some of these girls are sleeping with them. We all know that happens. I used to just think of it as a matter of fact, but this time, i’m nauseous.
Thinking back to the club i’ve realized there’s a lot of weird parts of the club i used to just shrug off like “it happens!” Being outside of the club- it’s like , what the fuck? why though?
I don’t want to get fully turned off of the club. It was such a big part of me for the last four years. but looking back on my time with some distance, some of it’s just really bothering me.
So for the girls that danced for a while and are now onto other things- what was your experience? How did you deal with the transition? Did your view of stripping as a whole change at all? Is this normal?
TLDR; Dancer for 4 years now in corporate america finding views of the industry changing after distancing from the club. Asking about other ex dancers experiences with leaving the industry.
