A Scots stripper on a mission to reveal the truth about what goes on in adult venues says she's been fat-shamed by customers. Rain World says she deals with creepy customers on a daily basis, including 'crazed' men who can't cope with being surrounded by women in their underwear.
She told the Daily Star that the job isn't as glamorous as some might imagine, with many dancers the subject of unsettling comments from punters on the regular. Rain, who is in her twenties, says the mean comments are the hardest to take when she goes to work in Glasgow.
She has been called "not pretty enough", or mocked for her figure, or for wearing glasses. She said: "Being in a room full of so many half naked beautiful women can make people act crazy. Every shift probably [creepy comments are made].
"I'm usually fine with 'creepy' comments, my only problem is when the guy hasn't paid me. Creepy is manageable, it's mean comments that are the problem. I've been called fat, not pretty enough, and told that my glasses are 'terrible'. They're usually just broke or jealous though."
Rain has used social media to share the less glamorous aspects of exotic dancing as a job. In a video posted to video-sharing site TikTok, she revealed she lost £70 in a night while working in a London club after paying a £90 'floor fee' to work the club and making just £20 from a cheap customer.
She continued: "There's so many ways to be the worst customer. There's guys that promise you they'll pay you lots if you sit with them but then just pay you £20 or their card gets declined, guys that try to touch you all the time. Then there's some really mean and judgemental guys who are so insecure they need to take a pretty girl down to feel okay."
