Portland’s Strip Clubs
Monday, April 24th, 2006I was able to get out of town and down to Portland on Friday night, where I stopped into a couple of strip clubs. I’m an enthusiastic consumer of adult clubs in Portland for a couple of reasons:
- Unlike in Seattle, one can have a beer in a Portland club so you don’t get the creepy “I’m only here to watch the dancing girls” vibe.
- As a result of #1, there isn’t an astronomical cover charge.
- I think naked women are pretty.
A particular favorite is Mary’s Club located just a few blocks from our hotel on 10th. Unfortunately, there was a rude loud trio of guys sitting behind me that detracted from the experience. You could say “what do you expect in a strip club?” but that’s just it. In my sex postive, pro-sex worker approach, dancers and fellow patrons are respected while enjoying the show. We’re all titillated- that’s the point- and can be so without making anyone feel bad.
