Sexiest Underwear For Male Strippers

   I'll be the first to admit that different types of underwear on male strippers does it for different people. For example, some guys like to see dancers in boxer briefs and others like to see them wearing thongs. I like both of those. But, since I do have my own opinion, I have gathered together a set of underwear looks that really do it for me. My inspiration for this blog is a dancer who goes by the name of Michael and dances at the Tulsa Eagle in Tulsa, OK. One night while watching, tipping and enjoying Michael's talents, I especially noticed the underwear that he was so expertly wearing. The fabric molded itself to every curve, crevice, and bulge. Let me just say, I was inspired to tip, and so were the others in my group. I've assembled a few suggestions for underwear on this page that I hope will inspire others to tip their favorite Exotic Male Dancers.

   The Timoteo Jock Strap (above and right) is definitely one of my favorites. When it is legal to show the male behind in all it's glory, I prefer that it be presented in a jock strap frame. The soft, cotton front pouch is nice to the touch and provides very minimal coverage. The straps are perfect for holding my many $1 tips. And are in perfect reach since I often prefer tipping around back. And for this product I like the color red but it comes in other colors as well.

   The Good Devil You Complete Me Brief (left) is...well...I mean, look at it on this model. I'm ready to see an exotic male dancer in (and out) of these already. The waistband rides a little lower than many underwear styles. And the fabric fits snugly around "the boys" providing visual encouragement for tipping and other possible inconspicuous hand movements.

   The Andrew Christian Almost Naked Sheer Brief (right) has see-through sides and back but covers the front. The family jewels are protected in a "put-it-out-there" pouch. A two-handed tip method is required here. One hand to place the tip, the other to discretely, and gently cup the pouch.

   The Gregg Homme Dungeon Brief brings something a little more exotic to the stage. It covers but barely, and plays well with the crowd that likes the latex look. This isn't your every day dish, but heats up the crowd for those special occasions. I like the way the pouch lifts everything up and points it in your direction. And of course having to maneuver your way around such a large protrusion to place a tip, could provide a few opportunities for 'accidental' side swipes.

   The Good Devil Mesh Brief is my favorite of the lot. And with this selection, blue quickly becomes my favorite color. Yes, I know that you couldn't wear this product for most go-go boy or exotic male dancer events. However, the male stripper who either dances at an all-nude club or a private party can provide a sneak peak of what is to come. If a male dancer has the goods between the legs and can make an impressive showing, then I recommend wearing this brief to get a few hearts pumping faster, and encouraging wallets to open up for tips.

   And since the above product cannot be worn for all male dancer events, I list this one, because it can. The Joe Snyder Launch Bikini Brief fits so well that it looks as though it is see-through. And notice how the balls are clearly seen in this pic. Well, everything can be clearly seen in this pic. This product provides the coverage required by law, and the effect desired by male stripper fans. I'll be out of my seat and ready to say hello in two seconds flat. I would like to see these worn by a dancer on a box...just high enough so that the dancer's crotch is right at my eye-level. Club managers, I ask that you make it so.

   These are a few of my favorite sexy underwear selections for male strippers. Click on the pics if you would like to find out where to buy them. Feel free to share some of your favorites with us in the comment box below or email them, with pics please. Until next time, have a few brief encounters while tipping. And the only way to do that is "tip the boyz"!!!

It's All About ME and the Male Stripper!


   On a recent weekend, I went bar hopping with a couple of friends. Now the bars weren't just any kind of bar, I stopped in at three clubs with male strippers/dancers. What a surprise! Right? The experience we had varied so much at the three locations, that I felt it was worthy of a blog. I'll start with the most negative and move to the most positive. I'm not naming the locations or the city where they are located. I want to focus more on customer service and hopefully provide experiences that other male dancers, club managers, owners, show directors, etc., can learn from. Maybe they will be able to avoid falling into a downhill slide toward closing the doors.

   I have contacted the management at the three locations to provide a little constructive feedback or appropriate "pat-on-the-back" or "grope-in-the-crotch". Well, you get the idea. I try to never give negative reviews of a bar that has male strippers. I do not lie but I try to find some redeeming quality that I can focus on because I truly want all exotic male dancers to succeed. It's all about me and my pleasure. The more places I can visit and see the boyz, the happier I am! But I also want to make it clear, that it is the customer, like me, whose happiness and positive experience will keep the bar or club open and successful. We go to these clubs and bars to watch and tip the boys, but I'm the one with the money in my pocket, so if I don't get a little attention and treated kindly, then that money will stay in my pocket.


   The three of us walked into the first bar and received no response from anyone in the bar upon entering. There was no welcome, no thank you for stopping by, etc. We were visiting on a Saturday night and although the bar is known for having many male dancers, we saw only 3. It was almost 11:00 p.m. so the place should have started to come alive. The bartender who waited on us was friendly and unfortunately, the only high point of the visit. We were eventually spoken to by an incoherent dancer who we could not understand. We will not attempt to guess the reason of his incoherence. It was not a language impediment or a strong accent. I will simply state that when I looked in his eyes, I could tell he had blasted off from earth and was currently floating through the Milky Way Galaxy or beyond. The interior of the bar was in need of a few repairs and a thorough cleaning. We officially dubbed it the “skank hole” after we left. And we agreed that the bar is most likely on it's last leg unless customer service and quality of dancers improves. It hurts me to speak negatively about a place that has much potential, but after visiting several times over two years, and having similar experiences, I fear the writing is on the wall.


   Our recommendations to the first bar include, more dancers who are more appealing to the customers. Someone should greet each person that enters the door and let them know they are welcome and their business is appreciated. This could be a bartender but at a male strip club it is more effective if the greeting comes from one of the dancers. The dancers need to be trained in how to interact with customers. If they are wanting to make tips, they need to realize the importance of each individual patron in the success of the bar or club. I suggest they clean the place up and fix the building problems. There is no reason that the customers should feel they need to take a bath after they leave a place of business, unless the dancers caused them to sweat. That is always ok. However, we have written this bar off as a lost cause and will not be returning. This will please my partner who rolled his eyes every time I asked him to go with me to visit this establishment. He would reluctantly go with me but in return I always had to take him to bar three in this blog.


   Our second stop was to a relatively new club that features male strippers. We entered the bar and were personally greeted by the owner/bartender. He welcomed us and thanked us for coming. That scores big points in my book! We purchased a beer each and sat down next to a stage where the dancers would take turns dancing when they were not moving around and receiving tips from the patrons. The small bar was full of customers, an even mix of male and female. Unfortunately, there were only two dancers in the bar, one a tall slim dancer that did not appeal to any of us. The second dancer however, was shorter with a compact body, tight butt, and very cute face. After about 10 minutes in the bar he made his way to where we were sitting. We tipped him and chatted with him a few minutes. He left to go visit with a group of ladies and while on his way stopped by to tell the other dancer that we were tippers. The second dancer came over to us but we did not tip him. It was our opinion that he should find another line of work so we didn't want to encourage him to stay. Our one serious complaint was that there were only two dancers even though the club was full of customers. The more attractive dancer of the two was receiving most of the tips and was having to work the entire room which didn't provide much personal attention to each individual patron.

   Our recommendations to the second bar include continue greeting guest just as you are doing. It makes a difference. Hire extra dancers for busy nights. If the customers do not feel they are getting enough attention, they will stop spending money at your establishment. They are coming to this particular bar because of the male strippers and they want to tip and interact with them. If this is not possible, then they will go elsewhere. We will return to this bar and give it another try. We feel that the foundation for a successful male strip club has been laid and can be built upon.

   The third bar stirred no complaints from anyone in our group. The bar is not known as a male stripper bar. It has a variety of things going on which includes male dancers on Friday and Saturday nights. There is an area of the bar that is set aside for the male dancers. This area has a dancer pole with very comfortable seating around it. There were two dancers rotating for the night. The first dancer was slim, with a nicely defined body. Several customers tipped him and seemed to enjoy his attention. We watched but didn't tip. We were waiting for the second dancer who we knew from several previous visits to this club. Once he took the stage and 'pole' our night was set. For us there was no need to go anywhere else. We all three enjoyed a couple of lap dances each and tipped the dancer during his sessions. And left with smiles on our faces.

   We have no recommendations for the third bar. We enjoyed the experience just as it unfolded. The dancer greeted us when he took the stage, remembering us from previous visits, gave each one of us a hug, and thanked us as we tipped. Sure, that sounds simple, and yes, he was working us for tip money. We know the game. But so does he. He gave us the attention we enjoyed and we slipped dollar bills into his very form-fitting underwear (and beyond! Woot!) For our next trip to this same location, we will skip bar one, check out bar two, and if necessary, spend the evening at bar three.



   I have a few more thoughts about the night that I want to share. Every time we have visited bar one there have been different dancers and bartenders. There has never been any kind of consistency. This is unusual to me. Although dancers and bartenders come and go, there is usually a few who are successful and stay for longer periods of time. The dancer in bar three has danced at this club for several years. Everyone knows him by name. The customers love him and are always glad to find out that he is dancing. So, this tells me that quality is always more important than quantity. If you can get quantity (many male strippers) and quality at the same time, then your business should boom! But of course, every club can't be Swinging Richard's in Atlanta. Now that is quantity and quality!

   Does any of this sound familiar to you? Let me know any horror stories or recommendations that you want to share. You can comment after this blog or send me an email. Until next time, find your favorite male strip club and favorite male strippers and have fun! And please, don't forget to tip the boyz!!!

Creativity Unleashed ~ Damon Frazier ~ Dallas

   The photographer Damon Frazier first came to our attention in October 2010 when we featured a Dallas area exotic male dancer named Tim in a blog. Damon was kind enough to provide some of the photos for the feature. Since that time we have continued to follow his work with great pleasure! Damon has a knack for capturing peak moments with his camera. We are featuring some of those moments in this blog. Since this is a blog for and about exotic male dancers, the photos depicted here reflect that subject matter. However, we want to make it clear that Damon's talents go far beyond male dancers. Check out his website or facebook page and you'll see what we mean!

   With Damon's photos you not only get hot male dancers wearing little clothing, you make a visual connection with the person that is the dancer. Whether discovered in a shot with great attitude, feats of physical prowess, displays of sexual attraction or posturing, or sometimes various expressions on the pretty-boy face, Damon shows us more than skin. He shows us the other characteristics of exotic male dancers that have reeled us in and made us lifetime fans. Enjoy the gallery below of his work! And stop by his facebook page to say hello. Click on any of the pics to visit his website.









































   Ok, so I have to add this. Not only does Damon take great pics of sexy men, he's a sexy man himself! Thanks for sharing your work with us Damon!

   Damon says of his work "I like to take dancers away from the bars/poles sometimes and capture them with some controlled lighting. I love to try to shoot something different than everyone else is. My goal is to shoot "studio style at the club"! That means I want to use fog, colored lights, lasers and even the dance pole, and make the dancer look focused and sharp with the "natural" club type setting - such as with my quick trial attempts with pornstar Jake Austin (twitter @JakeAustinXXX ) while at BJs NXS during Razzle Dazzle Dallas".(Jake Austin pic below)


   Until next time, capture your own peak moments and share them with us. And don't forget to tip the boyz!!! They work hard for their money.

Spring Fling For Mikey...Soon to be back!

   I have been extremely busy for the past month and have seen very little time online. It has all been good things in my life. However, I wanted to let eveyone know that I have not abandoned my post at the edge of All Things Male Strippers. I will be back in the next week with new features on exotic male dancers, clubs, photographers, and more...and I will be featuring some of the best of Great Britain. To keep the eye feast and fantasies fed until then, I have posted a few pics from the past. Some of these are former porn stars dancing at clubs and interacting with fans. Others are from private parties. Enjoy!





   Until next time, keep tipping the boys! And enjoy the boys of summer...they are on their way!!!

REWIND: Where's The Beef?

   Back in the '80s there was a commercial for Wendy's where an elderly woman buys a hamburger at the drive-thru window. When she opens up the bun, the meat pattie is tiny. She then exclaims, "Where's The Beef?" This became a catch phrase of the time. You can find the commercial by searching for 'Where's the Beef?' on YouTube. For a while I've had a small pet peeve that I've wanted to address but was waiting for the right moment to address it. The moment has come. I am wondering Where's The Beef? in club and event advertising? Specifically, why do gay clubs create posters for advertising to gay men and announce a drag show and go-go dancers but only put pictures of drag queens on the poster? Let me first state that I do enjoy a quality show performed by one or more drag queens. So, for all my drag queen friends, and I know the divas that you are, please realize that I am not trying to steal the spotlight from you. I'm just trying to give our show, event and club promoters a little guidance.

   Gay men and straight women like exotic male dancers!!! When a male revue show for the ladies creates advertising, they do not place their main emphasis on the Master of Ceremonies for the night. Unless of course, that Master of Ceremonies is a hottie, or perhaps one of the dancers as well. Doesn't it make sense that you would place a pic of a hot guy wearing little or no clothing on a poster to attract gay men to your club, event, or show, instead of a single photo of a man dressed as a woman? The female impersonators, illusionists, and drag queens all have a place in the enterainment world and provide a lot of fun nights for both the gay and straight crowds. If a drag queen is the headliner, then definitely give her the biggest pic and text. But, if you truly have hot male dancers and you want to attract the gay men then "show some skin and the crowd will come in".

   Here's my practical take on the matter. When you advertise a drag show you are already going to appeal to those who are wanting to attend a drag show and support their favorite "queens". If you add a sexy pic of one or more go-go dancers or male strippers to your banners, posters, etc., then you add another element and can appeal also to the fans of exotic male dancers who might not otherwise attend a drag show. Doesn't that make sense?

   My goal here is not to take anything away from the female impersonators but to help bring in a larger audience to the club or event. Of course, there are drag shows that do not have go-go dancers or exotic male dancers before, during or after the show. In that case, there is no need to promote male dancers. But, when there are exotic male dancers before, during or after the show, let them be seen and not just read about in the text. The images are a much more powerful draw to gay men than text.

   Until next time, be sure and tip the beef! And please, be sure and tip the "ladies" as well. I do not want to get in trouble with my drag queen friends. Click on the pics in the blog to see their Facebook promos.

It Will Be On Facebook Tonight ~ Male Stripper Photo Albums



"Show some skin and the crowd will come in." ~ Michael Hill

   The Facebook phenomena as well as Twitter and other social networking sites, have created a world where everyone can be a journalist (blogger), photographer or videographer. And it is all instant. Although it is not my thing, I have friends who post where they are, what they are doing, and who they are with, several times a day. I like a little more privacy than that. However, the reality is...your picture will be taken and words will be written about you. It is my hope that most fans of exotic male dancers will have the courtesy to ask permission before they start capturing images on their phones or digital cameras, but unfortunately that is not always the case.

   I'll be the first to admit that I LOVE discovering new pics and videos of exotic male dancers on Facebook, etc. I of course cannot be in many places at one time, and being able to see who is dancing at other clubs, helps me to keep up on the hottest dancers and clubs in the industry. Fans are also able to get a preview of clubs and events that they want to attend.

   I encourage all exotic male dancers to use the social network craze to their advantage. Ask friends you trust to take photos or videos of you at "work" and post to Facebook and tag you. By doing this, you can make sure there will be quality images of you available to any potential tippers. If you are serious about making a decent income dancing, I recommend that you use a quality photographer and have promotional photos taken. Create a photo album on Facebook and allow everyone to view it. Images will catch the attention of the audience you want to attract. There isn't much excitement attached to an advertisement for a club when it states there are go-go dancers, but never shows any pictures of them. Let's just put it out there. Show some skin and the crowd will come in.

   If you know of a photo album with exotic male dancers that has captured your attention, post it to my wall on facebook please. If you think you have some great photos of yourself and are wanting some free promotion, create a Facebook photo album and then send me the link in a facebook message. Until next time, keep putting "it" out there in photo albums. And everyone, don't forget to tip the boyz!

Doing It Texas Style! ~ Exotic Male Dancer ~ Dorian

   Let's just state it up front, loud and clear -- You can't go wrong if Dorian is dancing for your club or event. Dorian brings the party! First of all, just look at that smile. (No, not there, I said, "Look at that smile!") One glance and you can't help but smile back! It is contagious. And then of course, you have noticed that he possesses other assets that could possibly catch your attention. For instance, a tall, killer body, handsome face, and muscles all around. And yes, there is the obvious "blessing" below the belt. I tried to select more pictures that didn't emphasize the pouch of his briefs but I wasn't very successful. I kept being drawn in that direction. Hmmmmm, imagine that!

   Not to break the hearts of the gay men reading this blog, but Dorian does love the ladies. At the same time, let it be known that Dorian is a balanced and confident entertainer, he dances for the guys and girls equally. But in his private time, he prefers to be with the ladies. I heard that cheer from my female readers! Go girls! That works for me. With his hot looks, and professional demeanor, he'll make sure everyone in the house is having a good time.

   Dorian caught our attention several months ago when we noticed that he danced at several different clubs in the Dallas area. We liked what we saw and selected him as one of our Males In Motion Valentine's back in February. We've also chosen to add his pic in a few of our blogs.

   Dorian is definitely nice "eye candy" but he's also a nice guy. He's worth getting to know. Check his Facebook page to see where he will be performing. There are also a lot more hot pics of Dorian in his Facebook photo albums.

   Be sure to check out Dorian's YouTube channel to see him in action! And if you live in the Dallas area or get the chance to travel there for a visit, stop in and place a few tips in Dorian's waistband. Tell him Mike from Males In Motion said "Keep on doing it Texas style. We like it!" Ok, in this pic it shows an armband where the tip is located. Well, all I'm saying is that is not where my dollar is going to go. *woohoo* Until next time, keep the boyz dancing...slip a dollar in!
