Definitely Asia is the place to be, but not a lot of guys have that option so the Strip Club is the next best thing.
#1) There is the option of sex, either at the place or there are take away options in motels/hotels and not necessarily very expensive. Not trying to toot my own thread, but this was an experience I'll always remember fondly:

#2) Some SO's really don't mind strip clubs, they think there is NO SEX and think it's harmless fun (as long as it is not every weekend). Great cover for guys who's wives don't realize some of these places are hush hush brothels.
#3) Some SO's don't mind it because, "It enhances the relationship." The guy has been cock teased for hours and when he gets home he tears into his SO's bedroom and has WILD SEX. So it's a win-win for SO and the guy.
#4) Some guys just love the combination of: SPORTS, BEER, AND BOOBIES. Some Strip clubs are sports-bar oriented and guys love taking in the combination of the 3.
I remember one weekend where us guys went to watch a sports match and hit the strip club every night. First couple nights it was pure carnal in nature. By the 3rd night we were just hanging out watching the game on a big screen TV like in a nice sports bar, but with the advantage of having hot chicks and nice boobies to look at during commercial breaks.
#5) Bored at home, want to hang out with your buddies and have hot chicks flirting with you. And for once YOU get the tables turned around. Instead of you hitting on chicks and getting rejected, they come to you and you get to reject them. Unless your some stud, this is not the norm!! Where else in USA do you get to reject chicks and pick and choose what you like?
#6) It's kinda fun having a super hot chick rub her pussy all over your lap as you suck her tatas for $20.
#7) Kinda the same as #5 but wanted to expand on it. It's a fun time hanging out with the guys, shooting the shit, checking out chicks, playing with titties, getting drunk, and being able to show your appreciation for your pal by giving a chick $20 and letting her ride him for a few minutes. What better way to say, "Hey man, you're my bud." than giving some chick he was staring at some cash and having her lead him away where she can bounce on his lap?
However, at the end of the day, you can't beat the system setup here in Asia. No cock teasing, just wham bam thank you ma am. It's a great system.
Hope this provides a bit of perspective.
