10 Male Strippers We'd Like to See More of

A recent visit to an all-nude male strip club (in Tennessee, no less!) was a surprising lesson in diversity of sexual stereotypes: There was the country bumkin, the sensual reggae guy, the jock, the cowboy, the skinny-jeaned hipster, the Jonas brother look-alike. But what about us gals who go for unconventional attractive types? We'd like to see more of these guys on the pole, please:

10. The Pissed-Off Hot Guy

Clive Owen has made a fortune off playing emotionally volatile, but sexy, men. Benicio del Toro plays a convincingly hot wronged guy. Strip clubs need to tap into this ever-growing dynamic of men who look really good pissed off. We're not looking to toy with bizarre and uncomfortable lines of abuse, we just want to see a guy who knows how to channel righteous indignity into a passionate dance routine. Looks like: Duh, Clive Owen.

9. The Nerdy Bookworm Guy

We're constantly reminded that the brain is the biggest erogenous zone, and this guy is packing the biggest one in the room. While he's gyrating all pontificatingly, he whispers sweet nothings about the etymology of the word seduction, cracking wise about Shakespearian sexual role reversal. Looks like: Jeremy Davies.

8. The Smart Jock

When he's not practicing his dribble, he totally reads existential philosophy, and you can tell by the way he's caring Jean Paul Sartre in the back pocket of his gym shorts. But in the front pocket of his gym shorts he's carrying all the energy of a shooting guard. Looks like: Michael Jordan.

7. The Fey Hipster

He loves Morrissey and vitamin D deficiencies, and he has a deep, punishing sadness that can't be explained, much less understood. He slides despondently down the pole to "Unlovable," a cigarette dangling precariously from his lip, his gaze averted off somewhere, anywhere, but here. Looks like: Cilian Murphy.

6. The Thoughtful Fat Boy

Some of the best could-be boyfriends are chubby dudes with a razor wit and an extra helping of sweetness--they just haven't found a lady to give it to. This guy's undoubtedly shy, but as his routine unfolds, he pulls a variety of romantic items out of his pockets and gives a knowing, albeit sheepish, look--concert tickets, a condom (he's totally thought ahead) and, of course, a mixtape. Looks like: Seth Rogen.
