Girls Night Out and Other Misadventures
I only knew of gay bars (with men prancing around with their manhood exposed) because of the television exposes or rumors. Until last Thursday.
The original plan was to dine out at Taj Ma (its at Katipunan and they serve great Ox's Brain and Keema. Always order a hooka. 
) since my roommate, Abi, is leaving the apartment. After smoking a hooka, we all got pretty crazy and I suggested we go to gay bar after. Then, I heard someone second the motion. It was all a blur. We hailed a cab and stopped at GMA to choose between a number of strip clubs.
ADONIS greatly appealed to us since the only bar we can compare it with is CHICOS (it looked like this bar is in the state of non-activity for months. Besides it looked sleazy). Its not surprising that females are charged extra compared to their counterparts. We paid P200 just for the entrance and a 20% service charge of everything we order.
As we shuffled inside the bar, we were greeted with a gigolo, sporting a cowboy outfit - complete with boots and all that jazz. His movements were disconcerting, we were all thrown into a fit of giggles everytime his six-pack belly churned to the beat of a familiar ballad. A troop of dancers really liked to sit at the bar to casually display themselves to their prospective financial supporters.
If only I had pictures, I wouldn't have to say the following. (Since cameras aren't allowed and my skills aren't enough to hide one, here it goes):
1. Some gigolos really have the gall to jack off/jerk off. They are able to reach the pinnacle of pleasure (read: orgasm) with or without the use of a pole/woman.
2. All the gigolos at Adonis (I have yet to infiltrate the other clubs) are trained dancers. Some are so good they look like pretzels. They even have a basic dance move to which all their improvisations are based.
3. Adonis hires all males aged 17 and above. You may even see your little brother or your dad on stage doing it with the pole.
4. If a shower room is requested, P1000 will be charged, then you and your friends get to choose a guy then trap him in a room. Don't forget to prepare twenty-peso or fifty-peso bills.
5. If you are a fan of love songs like Love Moves in Mysterious Ways, it will be horribly bastardized. Just cover your ears.
6. Female comfort rooms don't look so good. Bring lotsa tissues and if you have room, bring your own soap and a jug of water.
Lastly, don't be shocked if your bill is more than a few hundred of what you expected. You have to pay the dancing, idiot.
