What\\u2019s up, dudes? Thanks for\\ntuning in to Episode 4: Stripclub Love Stories

\\n

Strip club love stories is about\\njust that. The connections you make in this strange and unique\\nenvironment that is at once totally false and yet totally\\nreal.

\\n

People who are not part of the\\nindustry tend to think of stripclubs as sort of soulless faceless\\nholes where no real feelings could ever occur. I\\u2019m here to tell you\\ntoday that\\u2019s not true. Listen to my stories about the love,\\nfriendship, the ways we helped each other, and the ways we failed\\neach other up in that trap house. Enjoy!

  • Women\\nwatching, whispering fantasies, if only I could be like\\nher
  • \\n
