Of Ladies And Strip Joints.

I was listening to Caroline Mutoko on Kiss100 the other day and she was discussing the various strip joints that have sprung up in town. Her biggest question was which kind of man patronises these joints and specifically, why.



Well I think that is pretty obvious. Men should visit such places and ogle at goods they forever hanker for. That's understood. What bothers my mind though is why ladies patronise those places. I have seen ladies even deep into Apple Bees yaani the "inner sanctum" aka VIP where the perfomers bare it ALL and will even shove it into your face if you look mesmerised enough.What drives a lady to go ogle at another lady who's in the nude? To see what that she does'nt have? To feel what?



I have heard various reasons advanced but generally they hinge on ati they want to see the competition and compare themselves. Well if that's the reason then I'm sure most ladies leave disappointed by themselves cos most of those strip girls are very young things with nary a fold on their skin. And truth be told, if the dingy atmosphere plus inebriation doesn't deceive me, most are very cute.



But the other day I heard quite an interesting explanation. I was discussing this with another lady and she told me that deep down, all ladies admire, and have an innate desire for other ladies. I was stunned. Well I know women are a beautiful creation, curves and all, and it is possible that women will appreciate and even admire anything that's pleasing to the eye but surely that would merely be aesthetic and not sexual! I told her that and she said it could even be sexual.



She pointed out that whereas it is perfectly okay for lady to tell another, "You look nice", it is not so for men. I agreed. If a man told me "You look nice" I'd punch him in the face. "Nice suit" maybe, but not you look nice. Why I've heard a lady tell another "You look sexy". You'd be a dead man if you told me that. She pointed out something else. She told me although she was straight, the sight of two men kissing would disgust her but not so two women kissing! And that that goes for most ladies she knew. Well it goes for me too but why should we be on the same side? If I got a kick out of watching two girls kissing then she should surely get a kick out of watching two men kissing?



But that's not the case it seems. I'm very inclined to agree with this theory because if it' true, it would explain perfectly why ladies patronise strip joints.

Food for thought eh?
