I have to admit that I have never been to a strip club. Maybe I need to change that wink

CLEVELAND-- Some couples are trading in dinner and a movie for something a little more exotic -- they're going to strip clubs.
Cleveland television station WEWS reported that the new trend is raising some eyebrows.
Christine and Scott got tired of movies, coffee shops and the bar scene.
"We're not ostracized for looking at other people. The female body is beautiful," Christine said.
So they're spicing things up a lot.
"It's a fun thing to do, better than sitting at the bar drinking looking at the wall, right?" Christine asked.
"It's nice to be with a date I know we're sworn together. It's a fun environment. She can be comfortable. I can be comfortable. It's a good time for everybody," Scott said.
At Christie's Cabaret, nearly half the customers on a weeknight are women on dates. Dancers and managers said just a few years ago that a guy would be in the doghouse if his girlfriend or wife knew he went to a place like that, but now more women stand by their man and go with him.
"It's not as taboo. Some of the women that come here end up working in this atmosphere," Christie's manager Michael Cappa said.
"[There's] a lot more women bringing boyfriends, girlfriends. We enjoy dancing for the women as well," dancer Trina said.
Steph admits she felt awkward the first time her boyfriend Michael brought her to the strip club, but not anymore.
After doing research at the club, Kiska reported that of the 100 customers, about 40 of them were women.
One dancer told Kiska that when the local sports teams go on a losing streak, fewer fans go to games and so fewer fans go out downtown -- that cuts their tips by more than half.
