A female strip club boss has revealed the concerning reason she believes some men still go to strip clubs.
Amy Gwynn, 36, opened the Liverpool based strip club Rude Gentleman's Club when she was 22-years-old.
Despite having no previous experience in running strip clubs, she has since turned the venture into a success.

After running the establishment for 14 years Amy has learnt a lot about the behaviour of her clients - and she has made a concerning observation about some of the punters.
Appearing on James English's podcast Anything Goes, Amy explained that men often behave in a negative way towards the dancers, and she has a theory as to why this is the case.
"Men still come into strip clubs now as an opportunity to see a girl who's like a 10 out of 10, who would never give you the time of day in real life... and it's like some men get a kick out of speaking to them like a piece of s**t," she said.

"It's like a power thing, it's like a small man thing," she continued. "They'd be like 'f**k off you s**g' or whatever."
Amy went on to add that she 'trains' her dancers to deal with rude and aggressive customers, adding: "You learn to deal with them."
Amy also revealed that she had to work hard to earn the respect of the women she employs as she had never worked as a dancer before opening Rude.

"These girls were just running rings around me. I'd hold these meetings and they'd all talk over me," she said.
"I was petrified I'd speak to them and they'd like really get up in my face. My heart would be pounding. It was not enjoyable."
Despite the long hours and hard work, Amy stuck with the job and has since won over the dancers in her club.
Recalling the first moment she finally felt like 'part' of the group, Amy explained it was after an unpleasant with an unnamed football team who were in the VIP area.
"This football team came in and they were absolute a***holes and they were speaking to the girls like s***. I was behind the bar, filling jugs up and they were shouting over to me nothing horrendous but just being really disrespectful," she recalled.

"I think it was the first time I'd been with them in that situation where I was getting it as well."
Her dancers defended her, telling the team to show some respect. She then later went to their dressing room to thank them, to which they said: "They said 'oh yeah babe, it's fine. Don't worry about it we get that all the time'."
She added that this was the moment she realised how badly some customers can treat dancers.
"No wonder these women are so hardened," she added.
