News date:August, 2003 How To Sell The Idea of Gentlemen's Clubs to Your Wife? By -Lisa Bacon - Wives are not renowned for their understanding of these places. It is probably because they are never invited to visit one. Society tends to frown on 'loose women' that are reported to frequent the place. To many women, Men visiting any form of establishment whose emphasis is on young female flesh, is tantamount to infidelity. But you still want to go, you have mates that go frequently, its a great place to socialize, and really, you think to yourself, what is the harm in seeing a bit of female flesh, it's not as though you are DOING anything. There are three choices here, invite your wife to join you, telling your wife you are going and brook no argument, or lying. Most of the men I spoke to leaned towards the last option, for various reasons, but let us look at the other two first. Inviting your wife to join you at a Gentlemen's Club. An interesting concept among couples that are open with each other. For this to work both partners have to be fully confident in their own abilities to attract and keep their partners, and fully trusting of each other. If the woman has any issues about her own body image, or her partners fidelity, then this option will not work. I have visited Gentlemen's Clubs with various partners, and enjoyed myself, but even I felt slightly disadvantaged by women with long hair, and tits to die for (and I have long hair and 'standard-British-handful' build). In some cases it may work with wives simply to be invited, without them actually going. Women who are barred from places, tend to imagine the worse about them. That there are 'things' going on, devised simply to wreck their marriage, not a good look. But secure women, invited along, would probably be sensible enough to let their man go along by himself, knowing he will come home. You could take the macho approach - he who is boss of his own household, and tell your wife you are going to a club, she is not invited, and leave it at that. I am sorry but I can only see this option working in a very limited number of households, where the marriage probably is not going that well anyway, at least for the wife. Try and bear in mind that well-brought up women do not approve of scantily clad women dancing around for an audience of lecherous men, for money. These types of women would never ever contemplate this line of work as a profession for themselves, and have no understanding of women that do. Remember also, that your wife picked you as a mate because they thought you were the most perfect man in existence, they feel that all other women out there would feel the same way. So go easy on the macho, if your wife won't be understanding, go to option three. 80% of the men I spoke to about this claimed that they would lie, if they really wanted to go. Comments ranged from "My wife wouldn't understand", "she thinks those sorts of places are sleazy", or my favorite "My wife would let me go, but my clothes would be on the driveway when I got home". Many of these men did not see that lying to their wives would hurt them, if they were ever found out. They actually felt they were 'protecting' their wives. Their women were pure, unspoiled, too 'proper' to enjoy the 'sins of the flesh'. Many men were quite adamant that Gentlemen's Clubs were no places for wives of any sorts, and that their wives presence would simply spoil their own enjoyment of the place. So they saw no harm in a 'little white lie'. Gentlemen's Clubs were for men, to be men, and enjoy the sight of women, who were not their wives. They felt that seeing these women actually enhanced the relationship they had at home, and so therefore, their lie was a 'good' thing. And so the argument goes on. My favorite comment overall came from my own husband. When I asked him "how would you tell your wife that you wanted to go to a Gentlemen's Club", he replied, "If I really wanted to go, I wouldn't tell her, I would just sneak out and do it." I just hope he was talking about his ex-wife. Enjoy yourself.
