Long-timers (like @Luv2play and me) know that the "winner" in the eternal Campus/Stock competition cycles and recycles over the years.  What I miss are those years when both places (not to mention Taboo) all had large stables of dancers worth spending time with, and not just on the occasional weekend night or two!

I'm one of those minds. 😁 33 minutes into episode 1.

An escort I knew had a wonderful, gentle, but effective way of dealing with this.  Shortly after the end of the 1st hour, he would ask "are you thinking of extending to a longer session?"  (Seeing those words written out coldly in black and white probably doesn't convey the tone, which was all-important.)

Just got back from Montréal a few days ago. Always a good time. I only made it out to the strip clubs the Saturday night of my visit. I checked out both Campus & Stock (each will hand-stamp if you ask, so you can leave & come back the same night).
Both were pretty busy and entertaining but the dancers at Stock were more my type looks-wise. I could definitely see the Campus men appealing to some customers, though. The Stock dancers were generally a lot more aggressive in trying to get me to go in the back for some private dances.
I did go in the back for a few at Stock with handsome, hairy Fredi (Freddie?), who wasn’t aggressive out front (but friendly in the back!). He’s not on their website but he does show up briefly in another dancer’s video sample (23 seconds into Gatuso’s). https://www.stockbar.com/en
Gatuso & Santiago each gave me their pitches to go in the back, and I suspect either would have been a lot of fun. I was just getting tired & didn’t want to go crazy with spending on my first night of the trip. (I thought I’d be back the next night, which unfortunately didn’t work out.)
Bbuck was also there and looking HOT too. He had some facial stubble and was quite acrobatic during his turn on the pole. I think he also had some chest hair (a plus for me). 
I didn’t notice much panhandling or apparent junkies in the Village that Saturday night, despite what I’ve seen in some other Montréal posts on here. 
The ArriveCAN and U.S. MPC (Mobile Passport Control) apps each made getting through the Montréal airport faster. (MPC is only for U.S. passport holders, I believe.)
The 747 bus into town was packed on Saturday night but had plenty of room Tuesday morning going to the airport. If you buy a 3-day pass for C$22, that’ll let you ride the 747 ($11 one-way if you only buy a ticket for that) as well as the metro unlimited for 3 days. For the 747 back, I bought a 1-day anywhere-Zone-A pass for $11, and that includes use of the airport bus.
(And besides being a quick, affordable way to get around, the Metro seems to have a lot of hot men riding it most of the time. Including some hot Middle Eastern guys in case you like them, which I do.)
The botanical garden is wonderful as ever, but I would eat elsewhere unless you’re a hardcore vegetarian or vegan. Their restaurant has gone all-veggie & I didn’t really care for the items I tried. 
   As for money: The exchange rate is great right now if you’re American. Hardly anywhere takes Discover, so make sure you have Visa or Mastercard.
 

Thanks very much,  Nate.   I think your comments are reasonable and make sense to me.   We are in the same place as we always seem to be with our personal messages.    I did mention to the client that Iin the future,  I'd prefer things always to be discussed in advance.   Being a structured person,   I'm that way with most things like this.   He was concerned he had acted out of bounds when we spoke this morning and I told him he did not.  We had talked about it and he did say he'd bring his boyfriend along "sometime".    My point in this thread was that I was pleased that I could experience a little surprise and react confidently about how the booking would flow.   It was fine.    But I would call this a standout  exception to the general rule.     

Reminds me of a conversation I had around 15 years ago with an absolutely stunning (both body and face) dancer at Campus...I'm guessing, with 70% certainty, that his dancer name was Rafael...he had danced at Stock for a couple of years before he switched to Campus.  I had always viewed him as aloof and unapproachable...my mistake; he turned out to be very friendly.  In any case, we were comfortable enough with each other for him to discuss escorting with me (back then, many dancers were loathe to admit that they escorted).  He told me that he only escorted when he visited the States.  Why?  "If you say $300 to someone from Montreal, he will faint dead away on the floor."

at least you're in debt in Canadian dollars

I wasn't relating much to this topic -- and then this story reminded me of the first time I had a private lap dance in Montreal.  I sat stiffly on the bench, hands at my sides, while the dancer undressed and moved provocatively in front of me.  Sensing my discomfort, he gently took my hands in his, placed them on his body, and said (in French) "you can touch me".  

Yet no one has said what they actually DO to ease the nervous client. 

Sent you a PM.

Hello,
 
 First I request there be no negative feedback. My dilemma is that I am an old 'baby boomer' who has never lived as a gay man. I married years ago and raised a family. I am not willing to give up my family. What I want is to find friend(s) in similar situations. When I say friends, I mean that. Not sex, but just conversation about our shared situation. I live in Delco, PA. I have tried to find groups and 'chat' rooms for this, but no luck. Is there anyone out there reading this who is living in the area (outside Philadelphia)? Some of the younger men do not seem to understand that us older guys have a completely different life and grew up in a very different time. I am actually expecting some negative feedback, but I will ignore that. Thanks in advance.

I'm just the opposite.  If the clothes don't start coming off during the first song, I stop at 1.  Period.  I'd guess that 99% of the time that's been a reliable indicator of whether the dancer is going to be generous with his body or tease me along hoping to make lots of $$ with minimum effort.  They don't necessarily have to end up totally naked by the end of the 1st song , but the willingness to do so tells me everything.
