How Our Events Work

All the allies in the house say heyyy hoooo(e)!

Customers can buy tickets prior to an event. The cost of the ticket includes entry and a lap dance. This is to ensure everyone attending is paying for the main service we provide.

You can get settled into our space, have a drink (or many)! Enjoy the stage shows from our dancers. Why not show extra love and make it rain on the strippers with our tipping dollars? When you're piping hot and ready to go, you can be whisked away by a stripper for steamy lap dances.

If you're not interested in lap dances/paying for a lap dance, this event may not be for you and you can attend our more stage-based events . If you don't want dances, but just want to come to support the event, you are more than welcome to give away your lap dance chip to a dancer as a tip instead.

While we encourage you to buy more lappies, you just using your chip is absolutely enough and we want you in our space no matter your budget.

We provide a guide and etiquette handbook to customers prior to our events so you can understand how to best respect the workers in our space and you know what’s going on!

Full information is provided to our prospective workers before application. Details may change from event to event. Our general ethics are as follows:

• We pay all our strippers at least a minimum working wage to attend. No risk, all reward.

• We book a sensible ratio of dancers to customers- we do not want to overbook, so we award dancer spots as tickets sell.

• We will be taking a commission, however, the majority of money from lap dances sold goes to the workers.

• Dancers can choose to perform a stage set for tipping dollars. We encourage weird, wonderful and political performances! Unlike lap dances, the profits from tipping dollars are split among dancers equally, with one share going to PDSM. We do a co-op split on tipping dollars as we feel this is fairer and easier.

While Sexplicit has a model of operation and is not a co-op, we are dedicated to working with strippers in our spaces to deliver the type of event you want to work at. Gemma has designed this as her 'dream event' she'd want to work at (while having some compromise when it comes to offsetting the costs of an irregular pop-up night), but this may not be what everyone wants. We are open to suggestions of things dancers would like to see. We're too often told what to do and have to put up with so much shit, PDSM wants to break away from the bullshit and provide an environment that strippers are comfortable and happy working in. We want to be innovative, evolving and breaking barriers- dancer's input is essential to fulfil this commitment.

We aim to provide opportunities to a wide variety of workers already within the sex industry.

Our main goal is to provide a space for the local strippers. But you can apply from anywhere! Note that we cover base wages, but this doesn't include travel or accommodation etc. We want our events to be profitable for those working it and would hate to have anyone out of pocket! Another reason why we would prefer locals, as having workers pay to be in our space defeats the purpose.

Our main focus is on strippers who work in clubs, as we are subjected to a traditional, unethical working environment. We want to give dancers a chance to work differently and under fairer conditions. However, you are welcome to apply if you perform lap dancing or other related sexual services outside of the club environment. 

Even though we aim to provide a different club model which club workers deserve, we also recognise that traditional strip clubs are not the most inclusive or intersectional of environments and can be a block for a variety of workers! It's a privilege to be able to work or camouflage in a traditional club space. This means that these venues aren't always suitable for: non-femme presenting workers; trans workers; BIPOC workers; full service workers; neurodivergent folks; plus-sized folks and disabled folks. This is why we would like to open our applications to: all genders; all types of sex workers; making space for marginalised folks like BIPOC; neurodivergent peeps; all bodies of every shape and size and favour those with disabilities.

We will not be accepting applications from non-SWers in order to provide the spaces to those who need it the most.

Our main focus is hiring current dancers who use stripping as their main or sole income. However, retired or part-time workers are welcome.

We prioritise hiring strippers from working class backgrounds/ who are on the poverty line. Other class backgrounds are welcome.

We regularly post our castings in this section here, on our social media and through our mailing list.

Please be patient when waiting for applicant information.
