During a very recent visit to a strip club in San Fran, I had a interesting conversation with a stripper named "Candace." She claimed to be 22, was appx 5'4", about 115, Blond and with NATURAL D cups. She resembled Leelee Sobieski, which is to say she was totally fucking hott. At one point she said to me that she had very seriously considered doing Porn, but ultimately she felt she was making enough money just stripping. Ultimately she said she wants to be a lawyer and said she was junior in an undergrad program but was taking the year off.

I asked her what she made stripping (mind you this is San Fran): Working 4 days a week (3 out of every 4 weeks), 5-6 hours per shift average, she was pulling $5k to $6k AVERAGE a week. From what I observed that night, what I know in general from other chicks, and (mostly) what my friend who works as the manager of the club told me, Candace's numbers are definitely accurate/credible. Thats pretty good money for that type of work.

She said she weighed it out, doing porn and what she felt she could make (and wanted to make) in terms of money, and what the potential costs/downside of porn were, and from PURE dollars and sense standpoint, she could not justify venturing into porn. She has done a little nude modeling and some swimsuit type promotional work, but no Sex.

So my question is, from a MONETARY/Economic point of view, and taking all the COSTS/Downsides of doing porn into account, why dont more girls just STRIP? Even in the case of some of the dodgier-looking porn skanks, they could probably make the same (or almost the same) money just taking their clothes off in a dimly lit bar as opposed to getting their Asses excavated and faces DOUSED in creep splooge for all eternity and for all the world to see. I mean if a AVERAGE looking porn chick made 200 grand in a year working in films getting thoroughly degraded, where she could have made 175 grand working in a strip club (still doing next to nothing), would the 25 grand difference not be worth it to avoid all the negatives of Porn? Bear in mind I am using this simplistic example merely for illustrative purposes, where we all know even an average looking skank like Arianna Jolle (but WITHOUT Arianna's PORN resume/credits) working 4-5 days a week in a strip club could make well above 175k a year...
