I was able to get out of town and down to Portland�on Friday night, where I stopped into a couple of strip clubs.� I'm an enthusiastic consumer of adult clubs in Portland for a�couple of reasons:

1. Unlike in Seattle, one can have a beer in a�Portland club so you don't get the creepy "I'm only here to watch the�dancing girls" vibe.�
2. As a result of #1, there isn't an astronomical cover charge.
3. I think naked women are pretty.

A particular favorite is Mary's Club located just a few blocks from our hotel on 10th.� Unfortunately, there was a rude loud trio of guys sitting behind me that detracted from the experience.� You could say "what do you expect in a strip club?" but that's just it.� In my sex postive, pro-sex worker approach, dancers and fellow patrons are respected while enjoying the show.� We're all titillated- that's the point- and can be so without making anyone feel bad.
