There's a strip club in Atlanta with really unfortunate-looking strippers, and it's kind of a hipster hangout. DH went there a few times with friends in grad school.
I think he's also been to a couple "real" ones for bachelor parties, and his friends took him to one for his bachelor party as kind of a joke since it's normally such an un-him-like thing to do. He texted me from the bathroom probably seven times when he was there. I was amused. I have zero problem with DH watching porn so it's not like I object to him seeing other boobs or whatever else, and I think DH is plenty aware of how unlikely it is that any of the strippers are actually interested in clients. Plus, I keep him pretty busy. It's not like the man is in need of additional outlets for releasing tension. So to speak.
I definitely have jealousy issues that I try to keep a handle on, but if we were to ever have a problem with cheating, I think it's about a thousand times less likely that it would involve a stripper than just some woman he'd meet out in the world, regardless of whether he goes to clubs or not.
I think my opinions mirror @Cole's- if it's a group event with his friends, I don't care at all. If it was something that he was doing on his own, or in secret, that would be a big-ass problem for me.

@Lozza: Why you gotta try to bring down the Atl? *wink*

@SorryCharlie: Funny how I am okay around female strippers (I have been to clubs a couple of times), but I am ridiculously nervous and uncomfortable around male strippers (my friends and I hired one for a bachelorette party in college, and I could barely watch!).

I will probably rent Magic Mike when it comes out on Apple t.v. I like to keep m y options open - lol!

@Lozza: Lol! Yep - there was only one place that came to mind. So funny how things like that stay with you, and how now every time I hear the word Clermont (or something close to it) I always think *dive strip club.*

It's not the same as cheating, but I think it's unhealthy for your marriage, same with porn. I don't say this from a self righteous moral high ground, but as someone who's dealt with the consequences in her marriage.

some of you have suggested that the reason women don't want their husbands to go is because the relationship is lacking trust. i just wanted to add that i trust my husband implicitly. i know he's not perfect, but i am absolutely not worried that my husband would visit a back room with a stripper. the reason we don't go is because we both feel that ogling naked women/men is not healthy or beneficial to us personally or to our relationship. trust is not the issue.

@beka: ME TOO. thinking about strip clubs just makes me sad.
