    Never understood strip clubs. What’s the point? Can’t you just get aroused at home? Why pay extra for it?

        But why would you want that? Is it the physical touch? Is it the attention? Is it the thrill of a physically attractive human showing fake interest and making you hornier than before?

        Isn’t a hooker better? I mean, if you can afford a strip club, can’t you afford a hooker? And if you can’t afford it, why not jerk off?

        I’m still perplexed by the behavior.

          Grinding at strip club isn’t illegal, hooker is.

          It’s clear you don’t have the same desires as people who go to these things. There isn’t really a point of trying to understand why, especially if you question explanations others give.

          Take a step back and realize that dispite it not making sense to you, people are doing it and are enjoying it.

          I don’t understand the appeal myself, but it’s not some cosmic secret that needs unraveled.

          Woman pretty, woman pay attention to me (maybe), activity gives my brain the happy chemical.

      Can’t people just watch movies at home? Can’t people just drink with friends at home? Can’t people just watch live bands on TV at home? Can’t people just eat dinner at home?

      I mean why do people go out to do these things? Because it’s a different experience. It’s stranger than home. It’s maybe something you can’t replicate at home. I’m gonna bet people go to strip clubs for tons of varying reasons, from loneliness to entertainment.

        That’s generalizing. You know quite well that going to strip bar isn’t the same as “watching a live band”. I could just take your examples further: can’t people just find pleasure in their own minds? Why not just imagine being somewhere? In fact, what’s the point of imagination? Pleasure is a waste of time and we should just never be happy because life is pointless. Since it’s pointless, we shouldn’t exist.

        I’m asking about a very specific thing because I want to understand that specific thing. Your response is like answering the question “why don’t sunni and shia believe the same thing, it’s Islam” with “people believe different things and that’s alright”. Or “why does Joel and Hardy have beef?” with “some people don’t like each other, OK?”. Or “is this correct?” with “it depends”. It adds nothing of value and doesn’t really answer the question. It’s a bad faith answer.
