I’m a stripper because it pays well and I love to dance

When I tell people I’m a stripper they are quick to make assumptions about my character, it’s easy to think that because I dance topless for money that I am a slut – that I do it for a sexual thrill. For me it’s just a job, I love to dance and I’m comfortable with my body and it pays really well.

My name is Sue Elise, I am a 26 year old stripper and this is my story.

I am a stripper – I do not escort. I do not offer any extras to any customers. I strip and dance naked for money. I don’t know any girls have slept with a client, it isn’t worth the risks, if nothing else you lose your job. The clubs have strict rules and you get a lot of attention from police so if the girls start misbehaving then the club could be shut. We hear a lot of rumours but that’s all they are.

I grew in Bournemouth and left school at 16. I never liked school and didn’t do well in any subjects. I finished with 7 GCSE’s but they weren’t good grades. After school I started working part-time and training at my mum’s hairdressers. I completed a Beauty Therapy course and starting working full time for a few years. I hadn’t really planned anything out in terms of a future.

I’m a typical party girl. I love a good night out, getting dressed up and looking my best and when I wasn’t working I’d be at the gym or out with my friends.

I’d always loved dancing and when I saw an advert placed for girls to work at a new club – I jumped at the opportunity. I got the chance to audition for the manager the following week, I knew I’d be expected to dance but it never really phased me, I walked in, danced and got the job.

I never thought about how to tell my family and friends but when I told my parents – they threatened to disown me. My friends were a little more supportive but some turned on me and I no longer speak to them.

My parents got over their initial shock but are uncomfortable with what I do and don’t like to mention it. My relationship with my dad has never been the same.

Most of my money comes from private dances, these may involve full nudity but for £140 for 3 songs or about 8 minutes they are a big earner. For a topless private dance I charge £40 and these will last for a song – or two if I like the client. On a busy night I have earned up to £1000 but realistically I would usually earn up to £500 a night and it’s not hard work.

I’ve been to some competitions in America. They are kind of dance off competitions and the crowds are very different to here – they can be very hands on and you don’t feel totally safe.

You have a lot of choice of the guys you pick for private dances, most are pretty timid and it is up to you to flirt with them a little just to get them interested in paying that little bit extra.

I get some clients asking for extras but this doesn’t happen a lot. You just ignore them and laugh them off. You don’t want to lead them on but you have to be careful not to scare them away and if they try anything – well we have some of the biggest bouncers around and they will throw anyone out who is behaving inappropriately.

The bouncers are very protective of the girls and will make sure we get home safely – either seeing us into a taxi or sometimes walking us home.

I love my job, not all the girls do but I have never had a problem. It can be hard on relationships and I’ve had more than one relationship end because of my work. Most men aren’t comfortable with what I do. They don’t want to share me with other men – even if it is just looking.

I’m not planning to be a stripper forever. At some point I want to settle down and have a family – maybe I can find a nice rich man.
