Holy shit. More than 700 strippers since 2006?. Damn that's a lot. You could be walking in Montreal without even knowing that you passed by an exstripper from Stockbar.
Interesting. My recent experience in Montreal has been different. For a long time, most dancers ("strippers") were very discreet about whether they escorted ("did privates"). If you asked whether a dancer was willing to come back to your hotel, the answer was almost always "no" until he knew you well enough to trust you, and even then, many would take precautions like leaving the bar separately from you.
That seems gradually to have changed. Now it is not uncommon to find dancers advertising on the escort sites. And I quite regularly am solicited for hotel visits during a private dance...or sometimes at the bar before I've even asked to do a private dance.
