The Chippendales

Today, I decided to post one for the ... er ... the mature ladies of the world.  

I don't know if you've ever gone to see male strippers, but I've been there.  Well, to be honest, it was only one time.  

My friends took me to see them on my 40th birthday, but it truly was wild and sexy and it implanted some really nice memories.

Sexy Mail Stripper

Visiting the Chippendales

by CJ Heck

Back when I turned forty, 

some friends took me 

to see the male strippers. 

I never knew 

there was a place 

you could go 

where there was 

so much action 

without 

ANY

action.

We were small dots 

in a sea of faces, 

distorted by the 

strobing lights 

set to music, 

sexy, seductive, 

and LOUD,

 

but it had to be loud 

to hear it above 

the screaming women ... 

(BOOM ta da BOOM ta da BOOM) 

“Take it OFF! Throw it HERE!” 

(BOOM ta da BOOM ta da BOOM) 

“Shake it, Ooo baby! Take it ALL off!” 

(BOOM ta da BOOM ta da BOOM) 

while a tan, muscled,

sexy young stud

humped and ground 

a well-packed G-string 

in a woman’s face

two 

seats 

down.

I remember thinking,

HO-LY CRAP, 

what if I’m next?

Mama always told me

'look but don’t touch' 

but somehow, 

the not touching 

was SO much easier 

when I was five ...
