I've known two women that have stripped. They were both fiercely intelligent human beings. During the time that they stripped they used a lot of drugs. From what they related to me, many strippers are using drugs and/or alcohol while they are working.

Speaking personally, I don't think I could dance naked in front of strangers or on their laps for money without some self-medication.

That makes it difficult for me to think that it isn't often a bad thing for the person practicing it. I doubt there is a universal truth to be found here, but there maybe be some patterns that are difficult to dismiss.
