Needs a substantial rewrite

Well, it does. Different cultures, history, notable individuals etc. Btljs (talk) 13:11, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is that really necessary? What are some specific changes you think should be made? Professor Penguino (talk) 01:01, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

First photo

The very first photo in this article has nudity. I don't think the very first article should have this -- it should be moved further down just to be considerate to others who might click on the article an don't want to see that sort of thing. Professor Penguino (talk) 01:09, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm far more concerned (and offended) by the photo of the male stripper towards the bottom. It appears that he isn't wearing socks with his converse shoes, and that could lead to some very smelly feet. This goes against best hygiene practices. Viriditas (talk) 02:51, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok... Professor Penguino (talk) 23:25, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Whoosh… Viriditas (talk) 23:39, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I get that it's a joke. What else am I supposed to say? Professor Penguino (talk) 04:21, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"In the vast majority of human cultures, the breasts play no role in sexual attraction or sexual behavior. Defining breasts as sexually erotic, and fondling or manipulating them during sexual activity is best described as a cultural (learned) paraphilia of limited geographic and temporal distribution."[1] Viriditas (talk) 23:44, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is the English Wikipedia, is it not? How is nudity usually viewed in English-speaking countries? When did I ever say it was sexual? Yes, having a semi nude photo as the first image in an English Wikipedia article is problematic. Professor Penguino (talk) 04:23, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm familiar with those historical discussions on the subject, but I must ask, how and why is a "semi nude photo" problematic? Perhaps the real problem is people pushing their religious beliefs on to others? If you start off by thinking that the human body is "problematic", then your entire worldview is fucked. Viriditas (talk) 10:15, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Erm... what? I'm saying having it on a site used by lots of people is problematic. You're misrepresenting what I'm saying. And I'm an atheist for goodness sake. Professor Penguino (talk) 23:30, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:NOTCENSORED. Tintinthereporter226 20:26, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Already read. Just saying it should be moved down as a courtesy. Besides, it's already been done, so a continuing discussion is pretty pointless. Professor Penguino (talk) 21:37, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New editor introduction

Hi I noticed that this article could benefit and be more informative if parts of the article are edited to sound more unbiased. I plan to edit this article over the next couple of weeks. I plan to edit this article to include less gendered language and be more inclusion. While reading this article I noticed that there is a lot of information that is not relevant to strippers or stripping as a whole. For example the Go-Go dancing section is unneeded because Go-Go dancers do not strip. I think a lot of the information in this article is too broad by focusing on exotic dancing instead of solely on stripping. Lillycharles (talk) 14:13, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
