But in China, the culture of banquet and brothel has become largely joyless, a business tool chiefly directed at transactional relationships with other men.
After many years in Asia, I can sit in a strip club here in the USA and not pay attention at all to the girls as I converse with business associates. I treat the girls like background noise/visual similar to that one does when in a bar that has a tv showing some sports game. It is just there because you cannot have relaxing drinks and conversation in a quiet room, just feels weird...
Naked strippers = Background white noise.
