| | G-Strings and Sympathy -- Strip Club Regulars and Male Desire -- Katherine Frank |
 | | She considers how regular visits to strip clubs are not necessarily antithetical to marriage or long-term heterosexual relationships, but are based on particular beliefs about marriage and monogamy that make these clubs desirable venues. |
| | Katherine Frank, who worked in strip clubs for six years as a means to earn extra cash for graduate school and as part of a feminist theory project, explores why some men regularly go to strip clubs. |
| | Looking at the relative "classiness" of the clubs where she worked--ranging from the city's most prestigious clubs to some of its dive bars--she reveals how the clubs are differentiated by reputations, dress codes, cover charges, locations, and clientele, and describes how these distinctions become meaningful and erotic for the customers. |
