All Nude - Xcellently Xceeding Xpectations
Club Review: Swinging Richards
Atlanta, GA

Visit Our New Website!
   There is a small group of male strip clubs that consistently remain at the top of my favorites list. One of them is Swinging Richards in Atlanta, GA. Over the years I have been to this club several times. I have never been disappointed, and each visit seems to be better than the previous one. It is no surprise then, that for my birthday this year, I chose SR as the place I wanted to be to celebrate! I am grateful to three of my best friends who accompanied me for the night. And made sure I got back to the hotel safely!
   The club opens at 8:00pm on Friday night. We arrived around 9:30pm before it was crowded so we could get a table near the front stage. Parking is available in a lot connected to the property and costs $5.00 for the night. We paid the $10 cover and entered the world of fantasy. The first stop was the bar where they were running vodka specials for the night. With first drink in hand, I selected a table near the middle of the front stage where I could get a full view of any dancer that stepped up on the stage.
   There was one slim, nice looking dancer on the stage as we sat down. Before long the stage had up to four or five dancers at a time. The normal procedure that is followed goes like this...first song - dancers are in clothes, second song - dancers are in their underwear, and the third song - all is revealed. Depending on how well the dancers are being tipped, the clothes may be removed sooner or later.
   The night was spent with strong drinks, great conversation, lots of laughter and dollar bills being slipped into arm bands. Since the boys do go fully nude, they wear armbands for tips. Each of us quickly found our favorites. For my partner Jay, he liked Derrick, Angel, Mark and Miller. While seated at our table, Jay also obtained a very much enjoyed lap dance from Mark. Our friend Rob who had met us in Atlanta enjoyed the talents of Ace, Miller, Mayhem, Carter and Brad. Our friend Tracie, a former female dancer and club owner herself, is now a Georgian. She drove from outside Atlanta to meet us. She was partial to Raphael, Justin and Lotto. Thanks for the round of drinks Tracie. I'll buy the first round the next time we're together.
   I will admit that I was like a kid in a candy store all night. There were so many sexy dancers that I enjoyed tipping and watching. However, there were three that stood out for me. First, like Tracy, I liked Lotto. Lotto was popular and performed several lap dances at tables around us. He is the choice for the gay men with straight boy fantasies. The ladies loved him, and he loved the ladies. But, he was just as engaging and fun for the gay men as well. For me, he had the best body of the bunch which looked good from all directions. His handsome face and other impressive assets caused me to keep him into view as much as possible.
   Second, Justin spent time at our table throughout the night. He was content to just stop by and visit, flirt and check to see if we were still having fun. He wasn't pushy or overbearing. He kept us entertained and of course, we played our part in keeping him around with tips. He performed a lap dance or two at our table.
   Without question, my favorite dancer of the night was Jeremiah. He was "fine" from head to toe. The night started with my noticing him at the front stage and tipping him. And I was hooked after that. Great body, great looks, fun personality, and he knows how to give the eye with a sly smile. It just wasn't fair. I had no resistance. But of course, I wasn't trying very hard to resist either.
   At different times Rob and I both enjoyed the VIP Lounge. The price is $10 for the evening, and you can come and go as you please. I recommend it. Rob enjoyed a lap dance in the VIP lounge with Carter which he described as "Amazing!". He also enjoyed a lap dance with Brad, a dancer with a sexy nerd look as well. I enjoyed lap dances in the VIP area from three different dancers. Jeremiah, of course, and two different dancers from Cuba. I can't remember their names because at this point, the vodka drinks were doing the talking and not much listening. I do remember having fun though!!! It costs $20 per song in the VIP area, so be sure and let them know how many songs you are wanting.
   If you were to ask my com-padres about the ending of the night, they would say that I had abandoned them and disappeared into the VIP Lounge. And if you continue to listen to their story, they will say that they were almost thrown out of the club at closing time while I was no where to be found. They even said my name had been announced over the speaker several times because I needed to close my tab at the bar. Well, I don't remember any of that happening. Of course, it might have been during the time that I was shouting "Viva La Cuba!" in the VIP Lounge.
   I recommend that you make Swinging Richards a destination for a vacation, weekend getaway, etc. I know I'll be back. My friends recommend that you spend time with Ace, Derrick and Raphael, among others. I highly recommend some male stripper experiences with Jeremiah. Until next time, get lost in a VIP Lounge with your favorite male stripper. And as always, don't forget to tip the boys!!!

Congratulations To The Graduates
Who Stripped Their Way
Through College


Photo Source: Michael Hill Digital
   As they walk that final walk to receive their diploma, we want to say "Congratulations" to the many college boys who have paid their way through the universities by taking their clothes off. We salute the go-go boys who have served as moving eye candy in order to obtain that degree. We say thank you to the pole dancers who have spun their way into our hearts one dollar at a time.

   It is a relatively easy way to make a lot of cash in a short amount of time, depending on location of course. Just as in real estate, location, location, location, is very important in obtaining the optimum amount of tips for the shortest amount of time invested. Many weekends have been given up in order to place their assets on display and we are grateful.

   We will be saddened as some of our favorites move on to careers for which they have educated themselves. But we are proud to have been a part of it. Our weekly contributions have assisted in raising the average IQ of our nation.

   To the Class of 2016 we say thank you and best wishes in your chosen endeavors. Don't worry Class of 2017, we're not going anywhere. We'll be here for you also! Until next time, don't forget to assist in the education of our young men, please tip generously.

Let The Pubes Escape
A Salute To Male Dancers Who Let It Show
We Like Hair Down There!

Visit Our New Website!

Photo Source: Micky's ~ West Hollywood, CA
   For years 'smooth as a baby's butt' has been a grooming choice for many men. There are times when I see this may be of some advantage. For example, when you are trying to show off muscular definition in the chest and abs, you might not choose a hirsute landscape that covers what you are wanting others to see and admire. Personally, I do like a smooth chest and abs, but I know of others who love hairy chest just as much. But one thing we can agree upon is we like hair down there.

   I think a happy trail is masculine and I'm motivated to want to see where it leads. It's kind of like a road sign guiding me toward that mystical place where dreams come true. For those of a more mature age, you can compare the happy trail to the vintage yellow pages ads where you were encouraged to 'let your fingers do the walking.”

   When I see strands of hair peaking out above a male dancer's waistband, I am intrigued. The very fact that he's letting a little hair show down there, indicates that he knows how to tease. For me it's like a neon sign flashing a message to “Come on in !”. Or at least, stop by and ring the doorbell.

   We're not talking about a dense forest but when the hedges are trimmed, it can be perfection for me. A little hair down there makes a statement. You are watching a man, not a little boy. And I'm a big fan of man parts.

   I'm calling for exotic male dancers to "Let The Pubes Escape"! We like hair down there. It's sexy!. It's hot! I promise to try and not get my fingers tangled in it when I'm tipping. Well, I won't really make that promise, but I do promise not to pull if it happens. Until next time, don't forget to tip the boys. And if they are rocking pubes, tip them double!

Follow The Bouncing Balls
Males In Motion
NEW WEBSITE!

   Boing! Boing! Boing! I don't know about you but it does my ticker good to see bouncing balls. For those of you who've never heard the phrase "follow the bouncing ball", it originated with early classic cartoons that had a section where the audience in the theater was suppose to sing along. I may be singing or making other sounds, with the bouncing balls, but I can promise you, it has absolutely nothing to do with classic cartoons. But just for kicks, I've included a classic cartoon from You Tube at the bottom of this blog, so everyone will know where it all started.
   I've always gone way beyond following the bouncing balls. I tip here and there and everywhere. I enjoy private lap dances in VIP rooms. And I'll admit to copping a feel when I think I can get by with it. With this blog I bring all my experience together in announcing the Males In Motion new website where you can follow the bouncing balls in the United States and Canada. The new website at malesinmotion.com provides news and information for those who love to watch and tip the dancing boys!
   There are over 200 listings of bars and clubs in the United States and Canada where exotic male dancers are featured. We're talking about male strippers, pole dancers, go-go boys, male revues, and the naked kind that let it all swing free. Think of the Males In Motion website as the resource you need when you travel, or when you're looking for a fun night out but want some scenery. The dick dancer kind.
   And for the male dancers, we're listing any job opportunities that we find online or that have been submitted to us. You can click on the link and obtain the information you need for your next gig!
   On our about page you can find out how Males In Motion got started and where we're at today! And the website is full of pics of our Males In Motion models/dancers. Which one is your favorite Joey, Clay, Victor, Aspen, Conrad, or ... ???
   And should you ever want to contact us to ask a question or submit some feedback, go to our contact page and send me a message. I love hearing from other fans, dancers, managers, vendors, etc. As long as it is on the topic of Exotic Male Dancers, you'll find me ready to read and respond. Also, if we've missed one of your favorite bars or clubs with male dancers in our listing, let us know.
   Check us out at malesinmotion.com! Then follow the bouncing balls!

   As promised, below is the classic cartoon with the bouncing ball. The bouncing ball part starts at 3:36. In this particular cartoon, the toy soldier says, "...follow the bouncing ball."
   Until next time, put a little boing, boing, boing in your life! And don't forget to tip! If they're really bouncing, tip extra!

Below The Mirror
Gabe from X-Room
Springfield, MA


Photo Source: X-Room at Mardi Gras
   The average career of an exotic male dancer is very short. Male dancers come and go. Some last for a day, a week, a month, etc. But very few last longer than a year. I have known Gabe at X-Room at Mardi Gras in Springfield, Massachusetts for several years. He is and has always been one of my favorite exotic male dancers.

   What is it that I find so attractive about Gabe? Well, let's start out with the obvious...a smoking, hot tight body, a handsome face, and eyes that draw you in.

Photo Source: X-Room at Mardi Gras
   "I want to see what's below the mirror." That is one of the comments most often posted under selfies posted by Gabe. If you've followed my blog for a couple of years or more, you've seen Gabe's pics shared and posted many times.

Photo Source: X-Room at Mardi Gras
   If you've had one of 'those' days, I recommend an evening in the company of Gabe. Of course, this comes with a warning. Be prepared for it to become an addiction. One where you will have to keep returning to X-Room at Mardi Gras for another night watching and tipping Gabe.

Photo Source: X-Room at Mardi Gras
   He fits our definition of a successful exotic male dancer. The customers like him. Yes, he is sexy. He's also a little bit crazy, and when I'm ready for a night out of fun to take my mind off of the real world, crazy does it for me. Crazy in a good way!

   I am a Gabe fan. I look forward to the selfies, the pics of Gabe from the club, and of course my visits to X-Room at Mardi Gras in Springfield, Massachusetts. When I know I am going to be in the area, I check with Sammy, club manager, to see if Gabe is going to be working. He's top on my list. There are several other dancers at the club that I enjoy as well, I just know that if Gabe is there, it will be a fun night!

   If you find yourself in the Northeast, take a little side trip to Springfield, Massachusetts. I promise you won't regret it. Tell Gabe that Mike from Males In Motion says hi. And while you're chatting with him, go ahead and ask him for a private lap dance. You won't regret that either! You'll be able to see for yourself...what's below the mirror!

   Now is a great time to check out the dancing boys like Gabe. They are devoted to the gym, working on getting a summer body. Until next time, keep sliding those dollar bills into exotic places!

Time For An Online Check-up
For Male Strippers, Managers, Owners


Photo Source: Michael Hill Digital
   Males In Motion is currently going through a website redesign and update. During this time we are verifying old listings, links, and everything that we are carrying over. We are also updating information with new clubs, dancers, etc. Since it is fresh in my mind, I thought I'd pass on a few tips and suggestions to male strippers, club managers and owners, and anyone else that might have an interest in online promotion.
    MIKE'S CHECK LIST FOR ONLINE PROMOTION
  • Is your website current? When was the last time you visited it?  While verifying the websites of clubs/bars/agencies, I have found broken links sending me to error pages; websites that no longer exist; and one link even sent me to a location that caused a warning to pop up from my anti-virus.

  • Are your photos current? Are you still using photos from last year or even 2-3 years ago? Or longer?  I have viewed Facebook pages and websites where the latest photos that have been posted were in 2010. And yes, this is a currently open and active club. If they are no longer using Facebook, then I'd advise that they place a message, pic, etc., on their Facebook account telling potential customers where they can find up-to-date information. When someone is searching for a club in the area to go to, will they find your information and pics outdated? If a potential customer runs into this while searching, they may immediately start looking for a different place to go. They'll find one with current information and pics.

  • Is the information on your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or other social media current?  This is extremely important, particularly for out-of-town visitors. If they arrive at your location to find the doors closed, or a different event taking place, they may never return, and you will also lose that most valuable promotion tool - positive word of mouth! They'll most likely be posting something online that says, "Don't go there because..."

  • Has anything changed in your weekly lineup? Have you changed it on all online promotions?  When new event nights are added, and old ones dropped, be sure to make these changes as soon as possible. If one has dropped, remove it immediately.

  • Has your location moved? Has that information been updated?  Did your business find a new home? Are you a dancer who moved to a new city? Make those changes so the people who want to find you or hire you will have the correct information.

  • MUY IMPORTANTE!!! What nights do you have male dancers at your club? Is this clearly posted on your website or other online locations? If I were traveling in your city and visited your website or Facebook page, would I be able to find out if you have male dancers at your club and the date/day and time they will be performing?  I have run into this many times. There are some clubs/bars that you would never know that they feature exotic male dancers. I have had to scroll down their posts, or ask people who have recently been there. Please let them know that there are many, many customers like me who go to a club/bar/event because male dancers are featured. If they are not posting this information, then I and more customers like me, will never visit their fine establishment.

  • Do you have an audition night? male dancer contest night? Has that information been posted clearly?  Over the past 13 years, one of the most frequent questions I have been asked is how to get started as a male dancer. I always recommend that you start at the local level. And first and foremost, I recommend that a potential male dancer go to an audition or contest night. If a bar/club has an audition night, they need to state this clearly so that any potential male dancers on any day, will know what day and what time to show up.
   Read through and answer the above questions, then do a visual check of the online sources for your promotions. Follow up by contacting whoever is in charge of the specific social media or posts and let them know what updates or edits are needed. If you have any suggestions to go with these, please add them in the comment section below. Until next time, keep the boys dancing! And make sure we all know how to find them online.

Perspective: Simply Grateful


Photo Source: Michael Hill Digital
   Keeping up with exotic male dancers, where they will be performing, clubs, bars, revues, and events takes a lot of my time. I spend a few hours each day online checking Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Emails, etc. I absolutely love it! It is exciting to see the ads, graphics, video clips, pics and more! I started Males In Motion because I was a fan of exotic male dancers and after over 13 years, I am still here, and enjoying it even more than before. I am grateful for a life that includes a partner I love, and who loves me, and a business/career that we have built, and enjoy each day!
   I prefer a mental state where I am grateful, positive, upbeat, encouraging, and see a half-full glass. I do have those days when I don't quite make it but there are many more where I do. With all the information that is thrown at me each day, I have had to add a few filters to keep myself in the mental and emotional state that I prefer. There is a lot of negativity posted. There is a lot of hate. There are a lot of unhappy people who I guess prefer to promote unhappiness in others. As a result, I have to take a daily mental and emotional bath, and put up a few walls.
   I am grateful to be a citizen of the United States. It seems to me that as a nation we are always in a political campaign of one type or another. I do not go so far as to become the ostrich with his head stuck in the sand, oblivious of everything that is happening around him. But when I am surfing the net, and it is possible, I 'hide' all political posts regardless of their political affiliation. I do vote and just before a primary, I will spend a little time looking at the various candidates and their professed convictions or principles, and then make up my mind how I will vote in the primary. There is way too much time before an election to look, listen and view everything political that is posted, nor do I want to. It keeps my head clearer, and I stay away from most of the hate, and mud slinging that is thrown by all sides.

Photo Source: Michael Hill Digital
   I am grateful that I am a happy drunk. Although it doesn't happen often, when I do enjoy several dirty martinis or other of my favorite adult beverages, I become a happy and loving drunk. If you are around me, I will most likely give you a hug and tell you how much I love you because when alcohol hits my brain, I love everyone. Unfortunately, that is not the case with some. The entertainment provided by exotic male dancers is most often at a bar or club where the patrons are enjoying their favorite alcoholic concoctions. Some cannot control their liquor and what I call 'nastiness' is the result. Words are spoken that should never be spoken and sometimes violence can erupt. If you are known to be that type of person when you've had a few too many, please do one of two things when out at a bar or club. First, take all the money in your pocket and give it to the nearest male dancer. Just kidding! First for real, either back off and don't let yourself get to that point, or... Second, if you really are wanting to have a wall banger of a night, take a close friend with you, one who is able to keep you within the bounds of public decency and cordial talk. (If I am around where I can view it, go ahead with public indecency.)
   I've come to believe that being grateful is a key to keeping ourselves from becoming - as my grandmother would say, "too big for your britches". That doesn't mean we're fat and can't fit in them. That means we have an over-inflated sense of our importance to those around us. When that happens we tend to treat others with disrespect and disdain. And basically make a fool of ourselves. By keeping an attitude of gratefulness, we remember the following:
Customers and Male Dancer Fans:

I am grateful for the bar/club that provides a place for me to go and be entertained, make new friends, and enjoy a social life.

I am grateful for the exotic male dancers who provide most excellent eye candy for me to enjoy.

I am grateful for the bar/club staff who work hard to serve me drinks, keep me safe, and let me blow off steam from the week.

I am grateful that I have a place where I can enjoy the company of other like minded individuals (and just maybe take one of them home for the night or longer.)

Male Dancers:

I am grateful for a bar/club/event that allows me to dance and receive tips to pay expenses or buy the things I am wanting.

I am grateful for the customers and fans who give me their hard-earned cash so I can pay expenses or buy the things I am wanting.

I am grateful that I can work in an atmosphere where I am rewarded and praised for the hard work I do to keep my body fit.

Owners and Managers:

I am grateful for the customers/patrons who enter my bar and spend their money.

I am grateful for the entertainers who work hard to put on a quality show at my location.

I am grateful that I live in a country where I can own and run a business like this.

   Next time you are out at a club/bar/event, be nice to the staff. Hey, it doesn't hurt to tip the DJ or other staff members every now and then. Stuff a few extra dollars in the waistband of your favorite male dancers. He'll love it and I'm sure you will enjoy it as well. Always tip your bartender. Go in with an attitude of gratefulness and have the best night you've had in a while. It works. Until next time, I want you to know that I am grateful that you took the time to read this blog.
