Well I take you at your word and chock this up as another 'the sex industry is WAY too positively depicted in Western media' and not missing anything not engaging with it.
I'm actually thinking that Japan has it right with Geshias over strippers.
Just clarifying what the other guy said, geisha is a completely different industry from strippers. Japan does have strip clubs exactly like those in the west (both shady and not) and they also have more traditional strip shows which are more like something you'd see at a Las Vegas theater. For the "pretty made up girl entertaining you with drinks, food and company" they have hostess bars / cabaret clubs.

Never said there wasn't, I meant the concept of a pretty made up girl entertaining you with drinks, food and company over dingy stipper clubs.
