Full article in the link, but I'll post snippets. Marrying a stripper :hhh: Dating one :jawalrus:

Bella, 27, works at a topless club outside of Austin, Texas. She also runs the YouTube channel Dancing With B E L L A, where she gives the lowdown on everything from how much strippers make to strip club etiquette for women. (Pro tip: just because you’re a woman doesn’t mean you can touch without permission.)

In a recent video, Bella, who uses her first name online for privacy, dropped a bit of a bombshell: She’s also married.

“It surprises a lot of people,” Bella said in the 13-minute clip. “When customers ask me if I’m married, I tell them the truth. I show them my ring and I tell them I’m married. I’m not going to hide that.”

Bella and her husband, Marcus, 31, have been married for almost five years. (Marcus holds down a more conventional job, as lease operator in an oil field.)

Bella and Marcus told us more about their marriage and how they manage their work-life balance given her career.

Marcus, what was your response when Bella told you she wanted to go back to the strip club?

Marcus: My first response was to object and say no, but then we talked about the pros and cons. We both discussed our points of view, set some rules ― like leaving work at work unless it’s something necessary to discuss ― and then I told her I understood. She was very motivated and seemed to have already made up her mind; the least I could do was support her, trust her and let her do something she enjoyed doing. The trust I have in her gave me peace in her decision.

Bella, how much do you make on an average night?

Bella: On average, I’d say I make about $300 a day. The most I’ve ever made in one night has been $2,700. The least I’ve ever made is $7.

How do customers feel about you being married?
Bella: I tell my customers I’m married but only if it comes up in a conversation. Usually the conversation comes up when they see I’m wearing a wedding ring. I wear my ring at all times. Most times they’re curious and ask how my husband feels about me dancing or if he knows I’m dancing. The married men are usually happy to find a dancer who’s also married; according to them, it’s more relatable. Surprisingly, I’ve met quite a few married strippers throughout the years and a lot who are either engaged to be married or are in a relationship with someone.

Marcus, what are people’s reactions when they hear you’re married to a stripper?
Marcus: Surprised. Shocked. Trying to keep cool while being curious all in one. We try not to bring it up with just anyone. It’s mostly select family and friends who know.

Do you ever go into the club to see Bella dance?

Marcus: I used to go see Bella at least once a week at the beginning, but I haven’t since she’s gone back.

You'd be surprised how many are married or in a serious relationship. :manny: I know a family that owns a club and the mom works there, the husband works behind the counter and the son DJs.
Strippers are actually loyal and get bad reps in my view. I'm not putting a ring on it till she get out the game doe.
