All stories about "Adult"

Whether you are a bi-curious woman who's part of a couple, a hardcore swinger without time for idle chitchat, a bear into the leather scene, someone who thinks fat-bottomed girls make the rockin' world go 'round, a confused man willing to put part of yourself into a hole in a wall and hope for the best, an elderly homosexual into autoeroticism, or a dedicated practitioner of doggystyle, Washington, DC, has a club for you. Although these sex and swingers clubs cater to a wide range of interests, most them have another thing in common: they bill themselves as "classy." (For the record, and to protect my wife's integrity, all research for this piece was conducted online or through interviews.

What might be the world's only vegan strip club opened last month in Portland. There are no leather or other animal products used in any of the on-stage costumes, and most of the strippers say they're vegan as well. Instead of the usual bar grub, the menu has vegan replicas of chicken nuggets and the like. As the owner has charmingly put it in interviews, "the only meat we have is up on stage."

A long-time vegan himself, Johnny Diablo, seems a little defensive about his enterprise -- or let's say he's gotten used to defending himself. As he said to a reporter from Maclean's, "Critics throw that word around a lot: exploitation. Let's look at it. How are we exploiting women? Are we hacking off their limbs? Peeling their skin away? Putting them on a barbecue? What we're doing to animals is not exploitation; we're murdering them. It's not apples to apples. Critics like to connect it and I wholeheartedly disagree with the people who are in that camp. I call them Feminazis, and I say, 'Hey, we're Femilibertarians: do whatever you want, as long as you don't step on somebody else's hooves.' " [Link]

And here's Good Day Oregon paying a call on the cruelty-free den of sin.

In light of the recent DC scandal involving a notorious madam, 46 pounds of phone records, a high powered client list, and the resignation of one Randall L. Tobias (deputy secretary of state), we thought it'd be a good time for a Naughty Guide to the District. If you can't get your kicks at the local bordello anymore, you should at least know where to find the best strippers and erotic toys. We found that in conservative politically correct DC, there are surprisingly few sex shops, adult video stores, and raunchy theaters. Luckily the search wasn't a total wash, as the city abounds in strip clubs.

Strippers, fetish clubs, and a year's supply of erotic devices after the jump.
