I had set off on a new business venture, weddings, and all the surrounding events are a cash cow. Add in other types of birthday parties and the market was even bigger. I wanted to focus or specialize in adult parties, there is less competition and the chance for more profits. Examples are bachelor, major birthday parties, men only, or stag parties they are sometimes called, they draw a bigger crowd more attendees. Sometimes they are golf or bowling buddies, or just friends and their friends wanting to have a meal, drinks, and get crazy with some strippers in a controlled environment, the market is there.
Women like to get crazy at bachelorette or birthday parties too. We have also found with them they sometimes use their grapevine of friends to round up others that want to party with strippers in a more controlled private environment too, so they just have a party, I call them Hen/Rooster party, but do not use that term with them. They have even fewer choices to do this, due to the relativity small amount of clubs catering to them. Remember there are more females on the planet than men, and yes it's true girls do want to have fun.
I even work with other planners that don't want to be known for the adult part of a party, and work under my name. I let them deal with all the other stuff, decorations, food, and dealing with a band that thinks they are the next Stones.
The event business has been growing like crazy. Unable to raise the kind of money I needed to have my own place, something I thought was important for the things I wanted to do. But that would saddle me with more responsibility. I cut a deal with a friend, a partnership of sorts. Even though he had just started in the business as well, and was still building bookings. He liked the food catering part, and its profit margins, and was good at it.
He had a converted elementary school on a lease-purchase option, using mostly the all-purpose room. It was near perfect for what both of us wanted to do, it had a kitchen as it was a cafeteria, gym, and auditorium with a stage. I was soon giving him the majority of his bookings, and I was then just focusing on the adult part. A stag party usually consists of a steak dinner and a bar. He takes that revenue in lew of rent, the bar part of one of these can be big for him.
He had to do renovations, in what I thought was a stroke of genius on his part he took the gym mats that were left hanging on the wall and had them recovered. He had found out how loud the room was from crowd noise with them down. Now they actually help to improve the look of the room and absorb some of the noise.
My wife agreed to help with my part of the joint venture, and we set up a business to provide what is needed for bachelor or bachelorette parties, etc. She always loved them, letting her hair down with the strippers, sometimes even losing her bra and panties. We are an open couple sex-wise so as a couple the business was a good fit. My ideas were partially based on props, I had designed and built props in school for the drama department.
The biggest challenge we found was finding the right people to work for us and had to use agents to provide them at first. Most of the people out there running businesses providing live adult entertainment, simply work as agents for male and female strippers, leaving everything else to the organizers. These agents were almost pimps, and some were a little shady, difficult, not to mention greedy, taking a deep cut of our profit margins.
One of the props I came up with was a glory hole set-up. It was inexpensive to make. It is not common at adult parties but yet became what made our bookings soar, and would be the biggest hit at the male parties. As far as the girls most wanted to see the hot guys they were interacting with, and have a touchy-feely thing with them. The downside of drinking and participating in adult activities in front of friends is that you may regret it later. At a lot of these parties when ladies have too much to drink, they can go from ladies to sluts. Things like losing a top during a blow job, or even showing most or all of themselves can be humiliating later.
The glory hole wall gave them the option to just enjoy sucking a stripper's cock in private. At a woman's party we need less staff for the wall, sometimes only the strippers, and someone to supervise, we call it a private show, and they can go back there with only a good friend or even by themselves.
As far as men are concerned, we don't care, we just want our cock sucked, and sometimes the parties are based on it, and the majority of men there take advantage of the opportunity. So we need a full staff, we always make sure we have an extra or two, some rookies can't take it, or one might get sick, we tell them it was bad cum, not their fault. Most are just attendants, but we sell them all as hot strippers. Having the anonymity they do, makes it easier for us to recruit glory hole attendants, less fit and older attendents are a possibility.
In a male's case the ability to get and maintain a hardon, sometimes with the help of cock rings, or even medication. For women the ability and willingness to suck a cock, any cock is the main focus. It does not take a hot chick for us guys to get off, we just imagine that it is. Give us a hole to stick our cocks through, and we will take a leap of faith and assume we are getting a hot female's mouth to take it, especially when we are drunk.
My wife Lilly ran the girls' parties, and I ran the stags. By the way, my name is Bartholomew, a kid's worst nightmare is inheriting a name like that. Bartholomew William Johns III. My grandpa took Bart as his nickname, my dad Bill, it did not leave me with a good choice, I tried John but it became John-John on its own I did not like that. I finally set on Barry, but with two sisters already calling me Bro, it just stuck as a nickname with most of the family.
We were up and running, and successful in bookings, It bothered me that the profit was cut into by the cost by the strippers' agent's added fees, which could be quite large, and at one point increased. The only way to increase profits was to find some of our own people to work for us, eventually even hiring from the ones that were being supplied to us, without fees we could both pay them more, and have a more healthy bottom line. This worked fine for the most part, but the men handling the girls were more hardcore, I guess they were just pimps that were a little more refined.
Lilly and I eventually decided to try to eliminate having to use a middle man all together. She is a good recruiter, she is Bi, and knows what appeals to both men and women. I think we were both aware of what we were getting into and had opened our marriage a little more. I had already confessed to her that I had to use some pimp tactics to pull some of my girls away from their agents. Even confessing to making love to a couple of the female strippers, they had a bigger job, and sometimes ended up in a private room with men that might not be very young or attractive. What I did with them was just to prove I cared for them, taking a page from a pimps age-old playbook.
She had little trouble getting most men to come with us, they did not have many of the emotional needs the girls had. But it makes sense that she has to audition them, even if they were just manning the glory hole wall for a female party. Making sure they can maintain an erection, and that they can keep it up, they pretty much all have to be willing to take a pill if they want to make any money, and it sure helps us to not have to keep so many backups.
Auditioning was the word she used for admitting to at least sucking their cocks in the process. Lilly was not only a charmer, she was hotter than most of our female strippers, and that helps her recruit. She is a sexual being and likes giving blowjobs, and getting fucked by a hot younger guy now and then anyway. So we don't look at it as prostituting ourselves, at least in our judgment.
On both sides of the business we have to provide emotional support from time to time to keep a good employee, so we accept the fact that we do have to fuck one now and then for that purpose. We also consider it as stress relief for ourselves, as an occasional reason to have sex with someone else. We get busy and sometimes don't see each other for an extended period, and don't have a right to question each other's sex drive.
What could we do, a lot of this was not in our original business plan but you can not plan for everything you have to adapt, we had our savings invested and were both willing to do what was necessary to keep our business afloat.
As we built up some of our own staff, what we did not know was that these agents talk, they work together when one has a big party and needs more help than they have available. We were still using them for the same reason.
Behind our backs, a concerted effort was made by them to convince people not to work for us since we cut them out of a lot of parties, but we still needed to hire some from them for the occasional big one.
They were no different from us, we are all greedy, and would like to make more money. Eventually, a bunch of them got together and set up a boycott to teach us a lesson. They were smart, we did not know this was going on until a night before one of our largest parties, requiring at least three female strippers, and two called off, so did most of our glory hole attendants and we did not have a full staff yet anyway. We are not stupid we knew we were being boycotted.
We needed at minimum 6 to work the glory hole part of this party, but that would stress out the rookies, we should have more, we had a lot of guys expected. The wall is long, it has 8 holes, and we could use as many as we could fit for this one. For other smaller parties, we adjust that to the party size by plugging the extra holes with stock photos of males or females depending on the sex of the party, we wanted our clientele to imagine some girl like them behind the hole.
I also have added a little slot with text and arrow, about head height, it just said TIPs, with the arrow pointing down to it, and money tumbling down. You prefer to get them to put their tip in the hole right away, with guys they might tip well first to hopefully get a better job, otherwise there is a better chance they will pull out and walk away. I have had guys pass out too before they could get a tip out!
