Ashamed

Afternoon planet earth,

Celebrating a friend of mines birthday yesterday, I ended up being dragged to a strip club. I had never been, and it honestly confirmed what I always thought of a place like that: Seedy dancing prostitutes (cause let’s face it, when they say “200$ for the full service package, 100$ for a blowjob” it goes beyond the walls of stripping.) which don’t really dance, just kind of sway their hips around a pole, with a bunch of perverted guys who could never get the girls they see on stage drool over the aforementioned prostitutes.

I was so bored, and turned off by all the events around me, that I actually began pondering how much the electrical bill was. So I sat there sipping my beer, and then it really hit me, what are these girls honestly doing? how did they get here? what did they do in life to deserve such a destiny?

They are risking their lives with diseases, and exploiting themselves to a completely degrading level. So what would make someone do something like this, I’m sure the buck is enticing, but their financial situation must be ridiculous for them to consider it.

So, all of this was unravelling in my mind, and 1 of my friends friend decided to pay 1 of the strippers (prostitutes) for the full service package (of course, he had to choose the 1 that most resembled my girlfriend.) and when he came out 20 minutes later, he made alluded to the fact that he wasn’t wearing a condom. Firstly, even with a condom, I’d never do that, even if I was single, I don’t even want to imagine the amount of other men that have stuck their penises into this lovely workers nether regions. But the fact he would risk himself, and she would risk herself like this is just unacceptable.

So I suppose I leave you with this thought today planet earth,

Stay away from strip joints, whether your male or female. Women, please stop degrading yourself like this, you all deserve so much better than this.

Sincerely yours,

Edwin McClain
