15 Very Exclusive Strip Clubs: Work Here, Make Big Money

All strip clubs in the world have something in common: they all feature naked or nearly naked dancers on stage. But even in the world of strip clubs, there is some sort of hierarchy in place.

While majority of strip clubs cater to the general public, there are those with atmospheres so exquisite, services so great, facilities so top of the line and dancers so damn attractive that the only people able get in are those with fat wallets and the capability to whip them out and empty them in one single sitting.

For a stripper, being able to work the stages of these exclusive strip clubs from all over the world, listed below in no particular order of exclusiveness, could only mean one thing: a big payday.

1. Blue Rose, Ibiza, Spain

Is onstage girl-on-girl action or sex acts (simulated of course) that involve messy stuff as champagne and whipped cream your kind of thing? Then the Blue Rose in Ibiza, Spain is the strip club for you. You may have to interact a bit more with the audience as that sort of thing is sort of the norm here, but you need not worry. The interaction is almost always respectful, and ultimately profitable.

2. Goldfingers, Melbourne, Australia

A popular destination among men of high standing whenever they do business in Australia, Goldfingers boasts of four separate areas that showcase the hottest women the Land Down Under can offer. On top of all that, it has a restaurant, poolroom and a cigar lounge, so why should these moneyed gentlemen go someplace else when they have everything they want here?

3. Seventh Heaven, Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo being the most expensive city in the world, it only makes sense that a night at this club could also leave a big hole in our pockets, but that doesn’t apply of course to the gentlemen who come here. We say gentlemen because most of them who come and see the club’s mostly European and American dancers are indeed as polite and respectful as can be, and are not predisposed to forcing drinks on dancers or demanding private dances from them. Some girls who do private shows are even the ones who take their customers’ hands and make them touch any part of their bodies, thanks to the club’s rather lax no-touching rule.

4. Crazy Horse Too, Las Vegas, Nevada

If the fact that porn superstar Jenna Jameson had her stripper beginnings here is any indication, then there really must be something special about this place. Las Vegas may be dotted with stripper clubs, but this offshoot of the original Crazy Horse of Paris sets the standard with two stages for performers and a VIP room where clients could get more up close and personal with dancers.

5. Crazy Horse, Paris, France

No list of great strip clubs would ever be complete without the original Crazy Horse in Paris. No other strip club in the world makes use of the female anatomy artistically the way it does, with its light and laser acts using the dancers’ bodies as a canvas. Then, of course, there’s the sexy sight of gorgeous women frolicking to songs and bathing on stage.

6. Scores, New York, New York

In a single evening at Scores, a Bangladeshi businessman once spent $129,626 on drinks, food and of course, the attention of dancers. These are the kind of people that frequent this Manhattan club, where people like George Clooney, Chuck Norris and many other celebrities are regulars. And you can’t blame them really. Scores, after all, has it all, from the classy atmosphere, to the great food and drinks, and best of all, great-looking girls that suit every taste.

7. Lollipops Gentleman’s Club, Daytona Beach, Florida

If only for its roster of 150 really hot dancers, this club should make this list. And celebrity regulars Wesley Snipes, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and many others would most certainly agree.

8. K5 Relax Club, Prague, Czech Republic

Despite the semantically awkward name, K5 Relax Club is a “relax” club indeed. In fact, it has everything you’ll ever want for a relaxing evening: extremely hot Eastern European women who will not only dance for you, but accompany you as you make use of their sauna, bath and massage. And did we mention that they do that while in the buff?

9. Dolls, Moscow, Russia

It’s only fitting that Moscow’s first strip club is also its most exclusive. Undeniabky elegant in all respects, the club caters to the needs of rich men of Moscow (yes, because only men with fat bank accounts can afford a night of enjoyment here) with its bevy of very beautiful Russian women performing in carefully rehearsed and spectacular shows.

10. W, Sao Paulo, Brazil

What could be more exclusive than a members-only strip club? That’s what the W in Sao Paulo is, and for good reason: they have some of the most ravishing beauties this side of the globe, most of them European-looking women.

11. Colibri, Hamburg, Germany

This club offers much more than just the sight of women stripping. It also boasts of live sex shows, something which Americans might frown on but Germans, well, they’re a different breed. The live sex, however, isn’t your typical wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am kind of affair. As far as live sex shows go, those performed in this club are done with a lot of finesse and good taste, with classical music in the background as performs do the deed.

12. Penthouse Executive Club, New York City, New York

The name says it all. Boasting a 2,000-bottle wine cellar, a celebrity-chef steak house, and a 10,000-square-foot area that can accommodate up to 400 patrons a night, the Penthouse is a pure pleasure palace. People with money gladly dive into its lush themed rooms, with names such as the “Harem”, and enjoy the attention of dancers picked from a roster of up to a hundred girls.

13. Brandi’s, Vancouver, Canada

Ben Affleck used to come here when he was making movies here, and we understand that he can’t totally help it. After all, the dancers at Brandi’s, on top of being drop-dead gorgeous, seem to be really enjoying what they’re doing, and are taken to offering neck and shoulder massages, naked. What could be better than that?

14. The Cheetah, Atlanta, Georgia

Classy. That’s what best defines The Cheetah, dubbed “Atlanta’s #1 Adult Entertainment Club”, and rightly so. On top of all the beautiful “CheetahGirls” dancing and walking around, The Cheetah operates an upscale restaurant called Alluvia right inside the club, which greatly heightens the classy atmosphere this place has to offer.

15. Treasures, Las Vegas, Nevada

All those beautiful topless women, the really fine dining and a completely remarkable wine list attract many high-rollers to this mansion-like place.

Best of Adult Web2.0 Sites

There was a time when searching for adult material online consisted mainly of looking at free previews of adult pay sites or portals that have links that take you all over the net for just a few peeks at some rather lousy pics.

Then came Web 2.0, and surfing has never been the same again. If searching for adult content was such a laborious process 2-4 years ago, the advanced features of today’s adult Web 2.0 sites make it a much more enjoyable experience. Here are some of the best adult web2.0 sites today:

1. YouPorn

Just like YouTube, only with porn content. And it’s the highest trafficked adult website in the world. Apart from the porn videos that users can upload to the site, YouPorn also offers an online dating service, a chatroom, and video chat.

2. RedTube

One of the fastest growing adult websites in the world, it is quite similar to YouPorn, and the videos are just as great. Maybe even better, if only for the huge but good quality clips. One neat feature is the mini-slideshow preview you can check out when you rollover the thumbnail images.

3. Twatr

Still in development and is still SFW, for now. But if descriptions that it is basically a Twitter for adults, then this is one site to watch.

4. PornoTube

Another YouTube clone, only more entertaining. A well-designed site with on-demand Flash videos, all embeddable, and are all tagged and can be browsed via a tag cloud or by straight or gay content.

5. Zivity

An adult content social network and user generated content site that features the work of both amateur and professional models and photographers alike.

6. Red Light Center

Modeled after Amsterdam’s Red Light District, this site allows users to make their wildest sexual fantasies come true, virtually of course. Features virtual strip shows, brothels or anything sexual that users’ fantasies can imagine.

7. SuicideGirls

The adult site for those who are sick and tired of all those Barbie-doll models and want something more real and radical. It boasts of more than 1500 alternative models that represent women of all sizes, races, ages and styles, and many of them have tattoos and piercings.

8. EroShare

Considered the Flickr of user-generated porn sites. Users are encouraged to upload their own erotic photos, and each user is given 2 GB of free storage. And just like its mainstream counterpart, it has all the standard photo site functions like friends, tagging and albums.

9. Boobik

This adult site focuses more on social networking, kind of a Facebook for porn. Users can share and broadcast their fantasies, experiences and of course, pornographic materials with each other.

10. MegaRotic

Visitors can watch, rate and comment on videos for free, but the number of videos that can be watched are limited to 10 per day for non-members and 20 for members. Upgrading to a premium account at $9.99 a month gives users unlimited video streaming downloads.

11. Fantasti.cc

Users can search, watch and download more than 60,000 videos, for free, and without limitations. Rating and reviewing functions are also available.

12. XTube

Huge site hosting thousands of amateur and professional clips. Dozens of straight and gay categories also make it easier for users to find what they want. And with partnerships with adult companies, users can watch DVD previews of the latest adult releases.

13. Shufuni

Basically similar to other sites with user-generated porn, but the big difference is that its videos are not embeddable. But lesser restriction on movie length and decent video quality make this porn site one of the better ones out there.

14. Haporn

It’s your standard site packed with a lot of user-uploaded, share-ready porn clips. One unique aspect is its “VIP” component, which you can either buy or earn by contributing your own videos.

15. YuVuTu

A site that focuses more on amateur and foreign porn content. Users can also contribute their own hard- and softcore videos.

Adult Entertainment Moguls - Rub Shoulders with them and You know You’ve Made It!

Sure, they may not be your typical big shot like Bill Gates or any of the Waltons. Far from it. But the people listed below are big shots just the same, ruling a multibillion-dollar industry that only seems to be growing and growing with each passing day. And anyone interested in a career in adult entertainment would do well to get on the good side of these people. They are, after all, the moguls of the adult industry, and if you’re in the business and regularly bump into them, that could only mean one thing: you’ve made it.

1. Hugh Hefner

Countless men have dreamt of living the life that Hugh Hefner has led. After all, this is the man who is currently dating three Playboy Playmates simultaneously at the age of 81. But behind the sexual revolutionary lies a man who has built one of the biggest and most recognizable names (and logos) in adult entertainment, and it will be long before any one adult entertainment company can reach the same heights that Playboy has so successfully scaled in its more than five decades of existence.

2. Larry Flynt

Being trapped in a wheelchair due to an assassin’s bullet didn’t stop Larry Flynt from doing what he does best: churn out porn. To this day, Flynt is still very much involved in the day-to-day operations of Larry Flynt Publications, which continues to publish such magazines and create video titles such as Hustler and the Barely Legal series, which gave rise to some of the most popular starlets in the industry today.

3. Steve Hirsch

Forbes has already dubbed Steve Hirsch “The Porn King”, and we’re not about to argue with that. Hirsch is top dog over at Vivid Entertainment, the world’s largest adult film producer, with an estimated $100 million a year in revenue. He is also known for employing the old Hollywood contract star system into the business, and its contract stars, collectively known as the Vivid Girls, are some of the most popular performers in the industry.

4. Marc Bell

Acquiring Penthouse Media Group Inc. in 2004 makes Marc Bell one of the top porn moguls out there, whether he likes it or not. Bell, a financier who made his name in mainstream business, has often been referred to as an accidental porn mogul since he bought the Gucciones out. Now, however, he has professed big plans for his adult industry venture: he is planning to take the company public in the next few months, and predicted that his company would be “four times the size of Playboy” if and when that happens.

5. Steve Orenstein

Steve Orenstein is the founder of Wicked Pictures, one of the biggest adult entertainment companies today. He is also the genius behind Wicked’s partnership with eventual porn superstar Jenna Jameson in the early 90s, a move which eventually put both Jameson and Wicked Pictures at the top of the adult entertainment world.

6. Joe Francis

Joe Francis may not be producing hardcore titles the way Steve Hirsch et al do, but he pulls in hardcore porn-sized revenues just the same. His Mantra Films, which produces the wildly successful Girls Gone Wild and Guys Gone Wild DVD series, has recorded sales of over $100 million per year, making Francis one of the biggest success stories in adult entertainment, legal troubles notwithstanding.

7. David Joseph

David Joseph and his company, Red Light District will forever be associated with one of the best-selling adult videos of all time, 1 Night in Paris. But while, distributing the Paris Hilton sex tape and a host of other celebrity sex tapes put Red Light District in the spotlight, it is primarily known as a producer of premium quality hardcore gonzo videos. And at the helm of it all is Joseph, who took over after Red Light co-founder Dion Giarrusso, who also happens to be his brother, left the company.

Adult Entertainment Salaries - You’ll be Surprised

How much do porn stars make? This question is the one that is probably foremost in the minds of those who are trying to break into the world of adult entertainment. And just as the pay scales of those in mainstream show business vary, the salaries of those who make careers out of having sex in front of a camera—and an entire crew for that matter—also differ due to one factor or another.

There are a few general truths in porn. One of them is that female performers get paid more than the men. Newbie girls usually make something like $400-700 for a boy/girl scene, while guys start off with about $50 to $250 per scene. But then again, a lot of guys say they’d do it for free just for the chance to get it on with all these gorgeous women on camera, so that makes perfect sense.

There are, of course, other factors that producers consider when gauging how much they should pay a certain starlet. One is looks. Naturally, girls who are drop-dead gorgeous tend to get offered more money. Then there’s age, although the popularity of MILF or Cougar videos these days give older performers the chance to earn as much as the 18-23-year olds do.

Another deciding factor is how far a starlet is willing to go as far as onscreen sex is concerned. Generally, performers who only do, say, solo masturbation scenes get paid about $200-400 per, while those willing to do DP scenes could get as much as $1000-2500. The point is, the more hardcore stuff you do, the more cash you’re going to get.

Of course, a porn star’s fee won’t always stay that way. Sooner or later a certain starlet becomes popular, her videos sell like hotcakes and she starts to appear in major skin mags, then she can ask for more. Better yet, she could become a contract star with the major porn studios, and could earn upwards of a hundred grand a year, probably even more.

The biggest names in porn, however, are an entirely different story. Hillary Scott, for example, has just signed a $1 million deal with SexZ Pictures in what is billed as “the largest porn contract in history”. While it’s actually a four-year deal, Scott is still guaranteed $250,000 annually, which isn’t exactly chump change for a relatively new porn star.

Then, of course, there are the superstars like Jenna Jameson and Tera Patrick. While the former may have already retired from performing, she still pulls in millions upon millions of dollars through ClubJenna, the porn company she founded with her ex-husband Jay Grdina. The latter, on the other hand, is still performing, but she is treading the same road as Jameson by the owner, president and lead star of Teravision, a $30 million-plus company.

Who knows, you could be the next Jenna or Tera someday.

10 Adult Businesses That Rake In Cash

There is no doubt that sex sells. In advertising, for example, companies have taken to featuring bikini-clad women or shirtless guys with six-pack abs for products that don’t really call for such imagery such as ice cream and cell phones. Stupid movies could become hits if it has a beautiful foreign exchange high school student stripping inside a classmate’s room while the whole town ogles her through a webcam. If even a hint of sex in just about anything could help rake in the cash, imagine what the payday would be when the business is all about sex itself.

Whether we admit it or not, the business of sex is a lucrative one. Just take a look at these 10 adult businesses that rake in cash and you just might want a crack at any of these yourself to get your hands on some.

1. Porn

Now a multi-billion dollar industry that made porn stars such as Jenna Jameson and Tera Patrick multi-millionaires. Enough said.

2. Strip Clubs

Though strip club owners don’t really earn as much as producers of porn do, it’s still good business, as a typical strip club in a small city have revenues of $1-2 million a year. You can just imagine the income an individual strip club in a city like, say, Las Vegas, generates in a year.

3. Escort Services

Escort services charge by the hour, and the usual arrangement is a 50-50 split between the agency and the escort. So if an escort charges $1000 an hour for four hours on the job, that would mean $2000 each for both parties. Of course, an escort agency doesn’t just have one escort on its roster, does it? Multiply that figure by the number of escorts on the job and you’ve got the money rolling in.

4. Phone Sex and Adult Chat Lines

If a phone sex company has just 1000 calls per day averaging 12 minutes each at $1.99 per minute, that would be $23,880.00 per day! That means there are 200 hours of conversation happening per day, and that would require 25 operators working an 8-hour shift each day. If operators are paid $25.00 per hour for those 200 hours, that would mean shelling out only $5,000 dollars a day for labor. Minus $3,880 per day for all types of other expenses, the company is still left with a net profit of $15,000 per day. If $450,000 a month or more than $5 million a year isn’t your idea of mega cash, then we don’t know what is.

5. Adult Site Web Design and Developers

On average, adult web designers and developers charge clients $2000 for each website package. With thousands of online entrepreneurs looking to jump on the profitable Internet porn bandwagon every single day, adult web designers and developers are assured really good business for years to come.

6. Sex Toys

The sex toy industry, much like the porn industry in general, has been experiencing non-stop growth in the last few years. In 2006 alone, the American sex toy industry had revenues of $1.5 billion. And with the Internet providing more opportunities to reach a wider market, the sex toy industry could only get bigger.

7. Adult hotels/motels

Your typical adult hotel/motel charges anywhere from $30 to $200 for just a few hours, depending on the quality of the place. Multiply that by the number of rooms that motel has and the astronomical number of people who want to their thing in private and away from their homes, and you’ve got a really good business going on here.

8. Web Cam Site Operator

Many web cam site operators make $100-500 a day. Imagine what it would be like if you have a company with, say, 50 web cam site operators under your wing. That’s raking in cash, if anything.

9. Adult content providers

Adult content providers are some of the most important components of the billion-dollar Internet porn industry. Without them, Internet porn wouldn’t exist in the first place, and no one would be earning millions upon millions today.

10. Foreign Marriage Agency

Running a foreign marriage agency or mail-order bride or dating sites is one of the most lucrative businesses in the Internet today. There’s one Dallas-based agency that reportedly charges its customers $10,000 each so they could meet five women in their roster. Pretty profitable indeed.
