    not that i would know but ahem..lapelllos is by far the best...i've heard..from some bloke down the local...yeah that's it some bloke down the local...

    Cheers

    We're thinking now of an alternative. It seems lapdancing is just a waste of money - too much of a frustration!

    I agree, its such a waste of money. Its much more fun getting drunk and pissing against a wall, at least you get to participate.
    My gf actually brought me to one as part of my 21st present, nice touch, now that was a different experience, the dancers love playing with women, gets them more tis off others viewing,

    Went to Lapello btw

    Well most of the people are saying i 'heard' which means they have never been to lapello's - THEY DONT SELL BEER - only wine, tis small too!

    stay away from it! - i'm not sure if the others are still operating after the clampdown, but anything than lapello's is a good idea

    actually theres a new(ish) one opened up beside the olympia theatre (or there abouts) - neon sign outside you cant miss it really (if you're looking) ;)

    Would it be innapropriate to use the term "cheapass" here?

    ;)

    Just kidding, have fun!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,172 ✭✭✭Don1


    Tis very expensive way of getting even more frustrated than when you went in.
    Still most definately worth doing, specially as a learning experience ie take note of what sexy temptress does then teach your girlfriend how to do it. Simple and effective. Now enjoy unlimmited free lapdances in the comfort of your own home!!! Although the likelyhood of having a girlfrien as hot as some of these vixens is microscopicly small.

    My god I sound like I should have a frequent flier number!! It's just an observation, honest!

    Hey, don't mean to hijack this thread, but I'm just curious to know where you attached lads stand on the issue of having private dances? As in, in a back room, one to one. Be honest! Totally uncomfortable with the idea of my bloke even having a lap dance, but I'd probably get over it. He actually said he would rather watch me have one!! But if I found out he had a private dance it would be curtains I'm afraid....


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,638 ✭✭✭Iago


    private dance and lapdance are the same things in Ireland..

    I know in the Uk and the states you can actually get a "lapdance" sitting at your table in the middle of the floor, but in Ireland they don't have that available, the private dance is the only available dance..

    also "generally" in ireland it is topless only and in Lapellos it is always topless only, whereas in the UK and other places it is normally a full strip and dance.

    Personally I don't see a problem with being on a stag/birthday/celebration night out and having a topless lapdance, however if it was a regular occurence then there's probably an issue there...

    I was in Prague the other day at a stag/hen doo. My girlfriend was their with me and let me go for a private dance with one of the hot czech girls! We've been in the relationship for over 9 years so I guess we have a certain trust built up. She didn't mind me doing it once there was no touching involved, and unfortunatly there wasn't :mad: ! If you ask me it's pretty much harmless fun. The place we were in was really nice with a good atmosphere and no sleezyness envolved, the girls working there behind the bar & dancing all seemed really relaxed and good fun.

    Stag night.....Lapdancing Club......

    To quote the words of Irving Berlin "There could be trouble ahead......"
    :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 408 ✭✭shiv


    i feel i have to agree with sassy, the idea of my boyfriend receiving a private lapdance without my knowledge, no matter the occasion, is not on. now if if it was a mutual thing, or was a "gift," that's a different story, but doing it on the sly is competely off limits in my opinion..

    it also smacks of desperation. if you feel the need to get one (or many, whatever the case may be), perhaps you shouldn't be in a relationship in the first place..


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,140 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    If you're secure in your relationship, where's the harm in your boyfriend getting a dance on a lads night out? Think about it, what's the difference between that and watching a porno/looking at pron mags?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 408 ✭✭shiv


    sleepy, no matter how secure a girl is in her relationship, there is a HUGE difference between watching porn on a laptop or on tv and being there in the flesh being danced to with breasts all over the place, in your face, etc.

    it's really about boundaries and crossing the line. some girls may be comfortable with their boyfriends being the recipient of this grinding sex on a stick indulgence, but i think they're few and far between. i wouldn't consider myself a prude by any means, but there's a fundamental lack of respect for your partner (especially if she doesn't know or doesn't approve) when a lad goes ahead and does it anyway.

    like everything else in life, everybody has different threshholds of what's acceptable to them in a relationship. solo-on-the-sly lap-dancing is not acceptable to me. guys also have to put the stilleto shoe on the other foot, and see how it would feel..

    so if your bf told you he was going to a lapdancing club for a birthday or stag or whatever that would be ok? It's all about trust I think, if you trust your bf then you know that it's harmless fun, you may not understand the lure, but you accept that there is no threat there, on the other hand if you don't trust him there's a problem, although the bigger problem is what possible direction your relationship can go in if there is no trust there..

    I agree with your point about things being reversed though, he would have to accept the fact that you might want to go to a chippendales night or something similar, again as long as there is trust there shoudln't be an issue..

    I wouldn't have a problem with my gf going to one of these nights at all, other than the fact that she might expect me to perform a similar routine when she came home :D

    just as a point though, it's generally accepted that women tend to lose control a lot more than men in these situations, maybe it's all that repressed sexual energy ;)

    iago, what i'm saying is that there's a difference between going to a lapdancing club on the sly (i.e. "for drinks"), and being open and upfront about it. that being said, i still wouldn't appreciate it, like it, or think it absoultely necessary...of course women and men will probably disagree on this point, although i'm sure there are some really "secure" women out there who like to make out it wouldn't bother them in the slightest..oh no.



    It's all about trust I think, if you trust your bf then you know that it's harmless fun,


    i disagree. it's not all about trust. it's all about respect. if both partners are into it, fine. if both partners attend, fine. if both partners want to see what it's like/want to turn themselves on for later, fine.
    when these prerequisites are not involved the stage is set for a lot of secrecy, hurt and sense of betrayal, even if "nothing has happened."

    you may not understand the lure, but you accept that there is no threat there, on the other hand if you don't trust him there's a problem, although the bigger problem is what possible direction your relationship can go in if there is no trust there..


    i agree 100%. a relationship with issues of trust and betrayal (no matter the degree) should not be further unnecessarily tested by this type of seedy, instant-gratification "lure," in my humble opinion. it only exascerbates things.


    I agree with your point about things being reversed though, he would have to accept the fact that you might want to go to a chippendales night or something similar, again as long as there is trust there shoudln't be an issue..


    for the record, although i haven't been to a chippendales night, i have been to a strip club with a group of girls while single. now the one i went to was hardly a high-class joint, and the men less than stellar, so maybe it's that that's put me off the whole idea/environement, that and the fact that it made me feel like i was some desperate person. that being said, *there is a difference in going along to a lapdancing club for a stag night/whatever, and actually having a private dance yourself*


    I wouldn't have a problem with my gf going to one of these nights at all, other than the fact that she might expect me to perform a similar routine when she came home :D


    :) you can say that with a light-hearted tone now, but i'm sure if the situation did occur it might invoke a feeling of lacking on your part, that perhaps you weren't enough, or fit enough, that your woman had to turn elsewhere to get her kicks..we're all human after all..


    just as a point though, it's generally accepted that women tend to lose control a lot more than men in these situations, maybe it's all that repressed sexual energy ;)


    maybe it's just their chance to make men feel like the sex objects for a change, and project that 20-30 years of objectification onto the weaker sex...

    I find that getting a seat beside beside the dance floor in the Q Bar is the best place for lapdances :)

    I thnk if my gf's name...(if i had one..different thread altogether!....) was "shiv".....i'd stay well clear of lapdancing,,,or porn....or in fact anything that she asked me too lest i discover the reason for her name.

    My 2 cents......honesty breeds trust.
    If i was going with someone and they didn't like handcuffs i mightn't understand or agree..and would prob try convince them that what i was suggesting was totally safe and harmless and there was an exit.....and if she just didn't like the idea of it and was worth making a small change to my likes/dislikes in the interest of something bigger at the end of it all i'd never suggest it again.
    Ditto lapdancing. Haven't gone yet but i intend to sometime. If a girl told me she'd end it with me if i went, I'd have to turn around and ask why. If she said "just because i don't like it" i'd end it with her.
    If she said "because i don't like the thought of you being in the company of a naked gyrating girl because it might lead to you doing something else with her or someone else" then i'd respect the honesty even though it was lack of trust. But, in being honest about her fears she's trusting that she can be open about it......and that i'd understand that it won't always be an issue.
    Honesty about lack of trust or an insecurity in a relationship is much more mature and potentially strengthening to your bond then pretending its ok while you worry about the what-ifs. If a girl was that honest with a guy and he ended it or went anyway then who's the better person. I would say her....at least she aired her fears instead of shutting it all away. And he didn't give a fcuk about what she felt for him...he just wanted to see boobs and not be called whipped by "the lads"........

    hi james--what exactly do you think shiv means that you'd be quaking in your boots? :D i assure you i'm no whip-wielding kali (sorry if that disappoints)

    My 2 cents......honesty breeds trust.

    I couldn't agree more, but if you've had issues with this, it's not as straightforward. I agree with the last part of your post as well, it's important to accept your partner's worries or fears and take them seriously, and not dismiss them as hyper-paranoia of the female mind.

    Would yolu believe just spotted a new place on Dame Street called Le Paradis? Dont know if it is a lap dancing club but says something like exotic ladies outside , might be worth a look!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 72 ✭✭Jamesobrady


    A shiv would be the type of improvised knife people have in Jails!!!
    No, I've been lucky in that nobody i've been in a serious relationship has cheated on me.....but to be honest I very rarely find anyone worthwhile enough to get serious with.

    Le Paradis is terrible! I tried it out about 2 months ago. It's very expensive and the girls don't even touch you. And stay well away from the Garden of Eden too!

    Lapellos is still the best club in dublin. I've been there many times. It only serves wine though (as stated earlier) and the girls keep thier panties on. But they have some very nice girls there.

    Angels is alright sometimes, it has a full bar and is quite large and you get to see alot more in the dances. But some of the dancers tend to be a little bit old and on the skanky side...

    My guess is he probably got at least a blowjob with those private dances, probably anal. You should sleep with his friend who paid for it in revenge, and show a video of it at the wedding. That'll teach him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 capricatz


    i told him no stip clubs before he went on his stag, i really really hate what he did and wish he never told me at least i would be able to enjoy my wedding ive been waiting 10 years for it. it ruined now ill always look back and remember. the lack of respect for me is what hurts, i know he'd never sleep with anyone but when he told me quite merrily that he had gone to stip club and had 2 private lap dances and didnt enjoy it (hello he had 2 not 1) and he is being honest with me and telling me which means i can trust him (hello you go sleep with some one, dont enjoy it ,come back and tell your partner, and shes like oh thats ok, you told me, AS IF) well at lest now he feels rotten and too right he should. he'll never go to another stag again , ha ha

    TBH, he is an idiot for telling you. what happens on a stag/hen weekend should stay there. The main responsibility of the best man is to kill anyone who dares mentions this sort of thing.

    there is a lot of pressure on guys to do this sort of thing which, tbh, is a complete waste of money anyway.

    Lets face it, the guy has done it, probably under pressure from mates, felt guilty and told you. chalk it up to experience and get on with your marriage.
