ICTChris Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) Proposals are in front of Edinburgh council that could close the city’s lap dancing clubs, potentially signalling the end of the city’s notorious ‘Triangle’. Following a Scottish government paper on violence against women and girls, Scottish councils were given the power to impose limits on ‘sexual entertainment venues’ in their jurisdiction. Councils can impose a licensing scheme and have powers to impose a zero limit. Some Strippers from the clubs have opposed the measures arguing they would put them in greater danger. Some councillors are strongly in support of imposing a zero limit. https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/people/edinburghs-ban-on-strip-clubs-all-you-need-to-know-3579077 What are P&Bers views on the proposals? Have any P&Bers ever visited a strip country or been employed in one? Have any P&Bers ever ruined things for everyone?

The moral crusade in general society continues There was a similar moral crusade in the temperance movement in the early 20th century Worked out well with prohibition 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorongil Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Shutting strip clubs would be a victory for modern age puritans so I hope the Triangle stays open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Strip clubs are shite IMO Still though, wouldn’t want to see people getting made unemployment because some councillors can’t stand people enjoying seeing a pair of tits 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 It would seem a bit odd to close four lap dancing clubs when there are more than four brothels operating in Edinburgh with full cooperation from the council and authorities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Going to a strip club is about the most tragic way I can imagine spending time and money. Fucking grim. That said if women want to make money off these weirdos then good for them. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) Strip Clubs are fine when you're in your early 20s (maximum) but once you're past that stage it's just sad, middle aged men in by themselves paying a 19 year old to girate on them isn't the best look Edited February 22, 2022 by Bert Raccoon 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red23 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) Strip clubs are shite, as i've got older it seems every night out is dominated by chat "when we going to stippers then?" Work nights out almost always end up there, a bunch of sad middle age men acting like kids in a sweet shop. Saying that my mates used to go when we were all 20/21 instead of pubs clubs so that's probably where my hatred and boredom of it comes from.

An integral part of the growing up part (ok 20+ years ago, idk if still relevant now) of early adult life. If anyone decides that’s how they want to earn a wage I’d be inclined to leave them to to it. And if a sad act contemporary of mine decides that he’s wanting to fund that, equally, his choice. Who’s exploiting who? They’re both grown ups. I struggle with this new shift to a puritan Scotland. Can no one exercise personal choice anymore? We have to have the authorities legislate on everything they think we can and cannot be trusted with? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I see zero appeal of going to a strip club. That said I can't think for a second on how banning them somehow helps the women working in them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I used to frequent the Western bar regularly as my mate was dating one of the girls working there and we'd go up to meet her towards the end of her shift and go out for a couple of drinks after. The novelty wore off pretty quickly and I used to get told off for watching the football and not the girls. A stag do about 6 years ago was probably the last time I was in one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 We should retrain the strippers as HGV drivers. The only downside of this is that as young attractive women working as lorry drivers they will be expected to murder themselves. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
