A question for clubbers and club owners

[Maitimo]

In particular if you attend or own strip clubs, and/or gay (male) clubs.

Up to a couple of years ago I was an erotic male dancer in gay clubs, and quit when I began to spend less time in SL. Now I'm inworld more again and I miss the job, and I'm considering putting in some applications again. But this time there's a catch.

In RL I'm disabled, missing part of my right arm, and recently I changed my avatar to match. Now this doesn't bother me a bit (obviously - or I wouldn't have done it) but I do wonder if other people would think it distasteful or off-putting if one of the dancers was noticeably disabled. I tend to think it would. I've discussed it with a couple of friends and they tend to think it wouldn't.

I know I can just fix my hand in SL easily enough by taking off the sculpts and alpha layer, but that feels like a cop-out and I don't want to.

What about YOU? Would it affect your attendance at a club, or the amount of your tips, if you saw a dancer who was disabled in this way?

If you have a sexy/adventurous story as to why you're missing part of your arm it might actually HELP you.

Personally, it wouldn't put me off attending or tipping you. I might be curious the first time I see you, and I might stare or ask stupid questions, for which I apologise in advance.

On the downside, I think dancers are hired to look sexy and some people don't think that disabled is sexy. (Counterbalanced by those who have a fetish for amputees).

On the upside, if the rest of you is sexy enough, people aren't going to be looking at your arm.

It wouldn't bother me at all, though I might ask you what the story behind it was. Some people are easily offended by a less then perfect look, but that's their problem. 

Why not give it a go and see how it works out?
