my best friends girlfriend goes to strip clubs like 3 or 4 times a night. he says their relationship is fine and at first it didnt bother him, but now shes doing this all the time and would rather go out with her friends to clubs than spend time with him. these clubs have interactions with the audience, so its not really innocent fun. what do you do in situations like this? do you think he should leave her if she refuses to stop. he wants to settle down and get married not date a party animal. do you think she likes the attention or like craves the interaction from so many different men. im not sure what to tell him. they have already discussed this and she said hes just jealous and its just for fun. advice would be great.

If he told her that she's hurting his feeling by what she does, then that's a good sign that she's addicted to strip clubs.  She most likely needs support to stop because what happeneds at strips clubs is all about sex, and eventually having fun could lead to her cheating on him.  So I think he needs to stick to his word and set an ultimatum, either she stops going and stays with him, or if she keeps making excuses and keeps going, then she'll lose him for good. 
Personally I'd feel a little self conscious if I knew my boyfriend was visiting women at strip clubs.  And they're really expensive too.  Usually it's a minimum 150$ for a lap dance, 1000$ for VIP rooms... and it's all with different men/women who just want your money.  And visiting a strip club is not about adding fun to a relationship, it's about self-centered sexual gratification without any consideration of how it will affect others and without any respect to oneself.

It sounds like she just doesn't want to grow up.  There's no good reason to go to a strip club, if she's trying to justify her behavior, then there's obviously other things going on.  And there are other ways to have fun without going to a strip club.  There are only two reasons people go to strip clubs, because they're young and single looking for a good time, or they're bored and unhappy with their relationship.  But it doesn't fix anything really, it makes the situation worse.

All strip clubs are the same.  Once you've seen one, you've seen them all.  Men and women go because they like to see strippers degrade themselves.  And usually strip clubs are just a part of the problem, pornography addiction is probably taking place too.  Like Alessandra said, there's no good reason to go to a strip club it only causes problems.  Someone in a relationship has no business going to a strip club.

I would never be able to put up with my girlfriend going to strip clubs I dont know what she could be doing there, all the guys she could be cheating on me with or all those guys looking at her. And I dont want anyone saying my girls a slut. Thats something I would never be able to put up with. I'd either have her stop and be sure she wont go back to it behind my back or just leave her for good because if she wont stop for me then for sure I could find someone better.
