INTERVIEW
I was a ( straight ) MALE STRIPPER at gay clubs
In the latest installment of our anonymous interview series , we talk to a ( straight ) male stripper who shook his shit in gay establishments .
The last time I stripped was in January . I got into it because I needed the money . At the time , I was working a part-time job in Brooklyn and trying to make it as an artist .
One thing you should know about me : I ’ m straight but I stripped exclusively at gay clubs . As an offshoot of the gay club junket , I also did private events . I think I ’ ve stripped for women maybe , like , once in my life . It was a bachelorette party , and it was much tamer than anything you ’ d see on TV or in the movies , let alone in the gay nightlife scene . The thing is , men , gay or straight , are all the same — they ’ re the ones shelling out for strippers .
Back then , I was really into working out and walking to work . I was always on the buff side , and because I was doing so much physical activity , I got pretty ripped . I had great muscle definition . It was the best shape I ’ d been in my whole life . One day , my boss commented , jokingly , “ You know , you ’ d probably make a lot of money as a male stripper .”
