The DJ announced her name as "Eden," and she took the stage in a whirl of energy, moving her body effortlessly in time to the thumping beat from the sound system, shimmying and shaking and smiling the whole time, as if she was made for this very moment.
Eden's top came off quickly, as she slid her shoulder straps off and pulled the thin fabric down the length of her body, exposing her breasts. She had mocha skin with dark chocolate nipples, erect in the cool air of the club. Her black hair was straightened and long, past her shoulders. She had some thickness through her hips, soft natural breasts, some softness to her belly, and a round, full ass.
I shifted in my seat and reached for my wallet. I could tell immediately that this girl was going to be getting a lot of my money tonight. I glanced over at my wife, who nodded in approval, a lustful gleam in her eye. It's wonderful to be married to a bisexual woman, especially one who shares my taste in women.
Earlier this year, my wife and I started going to strip clubs together, in part to help her explore her bisexuality, and in part, after 10 years of marriage, as a way to spice up our sex life.
It worked.
We quickly discovered that going to a strip club as a married couple is like jet-fueled foreplay. It's a headfirst dive into a sensual array of glorious nudity, sensations, touches and scents, a journey to a hidden world of writhing, gyrating naked women, dancing for our pleasure, enticing us with their bodies, rubbing themselves against us, showing us everything.
We're not quite strip club "regulars," but every month or two we try to make the trip to one of our favorite clubs. It's become one of the Date Night experiences that I most look forward to. Why bother going out to dinner and a movie, when you can watch and interact with real-life sexy naked women?
One of my hesitations before we started going to strip clubs was that I was afraid it would feel "wrong," somehow. I was afraid I would feel guilty about being there, like I was exploiting the women or taking advantage of them. And I didn't expect that the women at the club would be my type. My wife and I are clean-cut professionals, even rather geeky, and I wasn't sure if we would feel comfortable at a strip club. I had heard a lot of stereotypes about strippers and I was afraid that the strippers would be weird, drugged out, emotionally damaged, or somehow not enjoyable to be around.
But my worries were unfounded. If anything, the opposite proved to be true. I quickly found that I loved talking with the strippers, flirting with them, touching and being touched by them. I loved watching them caress and tease my wife. I loved giving them my money.
Spending money on strippers was some of the best money I'd ever spent, because I always got to go home in a better mood than when I went in. My wife and I would fall into bed together, ablaze with the crackling energy of sex and seduction, still smelling like strippers' body lotion and perfume.
I loved to see them sweat, I loved to see their bodies move under the strobe lights, and I loved feeling their exertions as they rubbed and grinded against me.
In a strange way, I felt like strip clubs were places where I truly belonged. "These are my people," I thought to myself. "This is my community, this is my subculture." I had never been a religious person, but I wondered if the way I felt at a strip club was the way religious people feel when they're in church.
I loved the whole experience of the strip club: the uninhibited sexuality, the female attention, the unique energy in the room -- the focused worshipful appreciation of the female form, combined with an alluring and welcoming vision of femininity.
Some people might think strip clubs were sleazy and morally wrong, but I didn't care. I found the strip clubs to be liberating and honest, more honest in a way than everyday life. A strip club was one of the rare places in the world where I could meet certain emotional needs that were all too often repressed or unfulfilled. You paid the dancers for their time and talents, and it wasn't cheap, but it was a very good value.
My wife and I saw all kinds of strippers during our evenings at the clubs: dancers ranging in age from 19 to mid-30s, and even one 38-year-old dancer who said she had teenage daughters of her own (but you would never guess it from her petite, toned body). We saw blonde white girls, brunettes, redheads, Black girls, Latina girls, Asian girls. Girls with piercings and tattoos, girls with fake breasts, girls who were all natural. Skinny girls, curvy girls, slightly chubby girls -- I loved them all.
I loved the smoothness of their bodies, the effort they made to entertain us, and the way they did their hair and makeup to look pretty for us. I admired the dancers' athletic abilities, their physical strength, and their emotional courage to do this type of demanding work. I found something to appreciate in almost every stripper I saw, but Eden was by far the best I'd ever seen. And I knew it instantly.
Eden had a casual, friendly, emotionally generous spirit about her. She was one of the rare strippers who were not afraid to let some part of her real personality show through. With some strippers, they seem uptight, or their stage routine feels like an act, or they won't let you touch them very much, or it seems like they're just going through the motions.
Eden was different. She was enjoying being there. She seemed authentically interested in the attention of the audience, smiling and talking easily with the men and women sitting by the stage.
I placed two dollar bills on the edge of the stage and waited for Eden to come give us her attention. She crawled over to us and knelt in front of us.
"Good evening, guys," she said. "Come give me a hug!"
I stood up and leaned forward as Eden embraced me, and then placed my hands on her breasts, letting me feel her stiff nipples. I was smitten. Completely. Already.
"You're amazing," I said, already feeling totally uninhibited in my fascination with her. "God, can I give you another hug?"
Eden laughed. "Of course!" We embraced again, our foreheads touching. "Wow, you're really into me," she said.
Eden moved on to my wife, pressing her breasts against my wife's face in a warm, lingering hug. "We're going to have some fun tonight," said Eden.
The next song started and Eden teasingly stepped out of her G-string, and was now fully nude on stage. I placed two more dollars on tip rail, and Eden sat in front of us and spread her legs, rubbing her clitoris with her fingertips, spreading the folds of her labia to show us how wet she was. I was almost close enough to taste her.
She moved over to my wife.
"Stand up," Eden said. "Customers aren't the only ones who get to have some fun!"
She pulled off my wife's shirt and unfastened her bra in a single deft motion, leaving my wife's breasts exposed to the room full of strangers.
"You have beautiful breasts," Eden said. "Can I kiss them?" My wife was a bit shy, but nodded her head, "Yes."
Eden moved closer and took my wife's nipples in her mouth, sucking and licking them, one at a time. My wife moaned with delight. After Eden finished, she sat down again, with a glazed expression and flushed cheeks.
Usually the dancers were only on stage for 3 songs at a time, and customers are expected to tip the girls $1 per song -- but I found myself pulling out a stack of dollar bills and beckoning Eden over to us again and again.
"We can't get enough of you," I said to her. She laughed. "I'm the best you've ever had, huh? Here, sit down and lean forward -- sit still."
Fully nude, Eden inched herself forward to the edge of the stage and straddled me, then extended her legs forward and squeezed my face between her thighs. She had me pressed so close against her that I could smell the scent of her sex, sweet and inviting. I let my fingertips trace slowly up the backs of her legs, all the way back to her naked ass, cupping her buttocks in both hands as she swayed back and forth.
She finished with me and moved back to my wife. My wife was feeling bolder now.
