Sex Politics: LA bans lap dances!
 

All the more reason to stay at home.
I work in the internet porn industry. Los Angeles is the home of this industry. If strippers cant earn tips through lap dances, then they are going to look to the industry for money. That could mean higher quality porn in the future. Hah! Megalomaniac politicians have no idea what they are doing.

The law itself is a load of shit. I think the ignorance displayed by the lawmakers is blaringly evident.

Damn. Thats gonna hurt the strip clubs... Unless we can change the name from Lap Dance to... hmmm Close Encounter Stripping? ;)

Thats pretty stupid. And yeah, I serioulsy doubt they thought they'd be improving porn in any of this.. heh

1 more reason to go to Canada ;)

where's the riot story?

guilani has nothing on what you guys got....

having grown up in LA with LV so close... i hated going to strip clubs in LA. You can't even put the $$ in her g string... you gotta put it down in front of you and then she comes over and picks it up. WTF is that crap??? LA is so afraid of prositution they don't even realize that it happens day in day out hour after hour...

I don't think it will increase th quality of porn, IMHO they will just travel where the $$$ are... and obviously it's outside of LA.

NYC you can go to places where not only can you get a lapdance that lasts for 20 minutes for $20, but you can stick your finger in it if you so choose.

Toledo has done something similar, Larry Flint is involved now, and there is an injunction on the law. What Toledo did was make it so the dancer has to be 3 feet away, and on a 6 inch stage in front of the customer. I thought only the midwest was fucked up like that, guess not.

Wow. It is amazing to see the absurd ignorance of law makers. Do they honestly think that forcing dancers to stay 6 feet away from patrons is going to reduce the occurrence of prostitution? OMFG what a dumb concept.

More puritan politics. Come to Canada!

Canada rules for strippers, but in a pinch Deja Vu is alright.

6 Feet! That will kill the industry there for sure. One thing I wonder, is has a legitimate study not funded by a partisan group ever been conducted that actually shows a positive correlation between stripping and prostitution?

Why in the f___ can't people stay the hell out of other peoples business. What the hell does it matter to you if I get a lap dance, or not? I'm sick to death of people that enforce their morality on others. Im curious though...just <i>how</i> is this supposed to curb prostittion? I don't see it.

So are customers going to now have to throw money at the strippers from more than 6 feet away? What if there are 2 strippers, and the money lands between them? What if the strippers start fighting over the money? A stripper could very easily be killed.

Maybe that is the politicians' TRUE intention.

Lol.

As sad as it is ... Anleja's logic is the exact type that the lawmakers are using.

Actually, there's a pretty good Deja Vu in Toronto.

Come check it out.

thats really stupid... and I seriouisly doubt it will have any effect on "prostitution, drug use, excessive noise and streets littered with condoms" well unless it forces the clubs to shutdown...

I do not understand this one at all. It is too controlling and interfereing for them to tell these people what to do. They aren't harming anyone by dancing closely.

Hey maybe I can get a job as one of those security people. Get a free show and get paid too. :D

Go Canada!

These are the same lawmakers that say it is illegal to gamble on sports (except in Nevada and New Jersey). Everyone does it, and they are trying to regulate it. This will just have the result of pushing the action into another jurisdiction that will be more than happy to make tax dollars off of high dollar businesses.

Canadian strip clubs are awsome.

Will they provide binoculars at the LA strip joint now? LOL :D

Isn’t LA suppose to be the “degenerate example” for the rest of the country? What are they trying to do?? They’re gonna fuck up everything!!!!!!!!

Ok, this is retarted. WTF??? These lawmakers were once youthful men (and women), who chased snatch, grabbed at boobies, had lap dances, had orgies and sex parties, etc.....but when they get married and serious about their "influence" on their surrounding environment, all the sudden it is wrong for others to enjoy the same pleasures I am sure they once had. Politicians will do anything to get fucking votes, even if it is going against something they would rather not see go away in the first place.

NOOOOO!!!!!!!
 

How can they live with themselves? I think that we have a four foot rule or something like that in WA. Damn it all!

Half the people that voted for the ban probably go to strip clubs and get lap dances they just go out of town were no one they know will see them

wtf when did this happen

im revolting

overthrow the man!

Wow that is quite...stupid.
