Inside the World of Male Strippers: Secrets Revealed

HunkOMania Male Strip Club offers a two-hour show in Midtown Manhattan every Thursday through Saturday, catering primarily to bachelorette parties and birthday celebrations. Unlike traditional female strip clubs, the performances are more like a cabaret act, with elaborate costumes, choreography, and high-energy routines.

“It’s become an American tradition to celebrate bachelorette parties with the same enthusiasm as bachelor parties,” says Armando, the owner of HunkOMania. “Most of our guests aren’t regulars—they’re women celebrating significant milestones in their lives.”

The Role of Hunks at HunkOMania

With around 30 male strippers, including waiters and bartenders, HunkOMania’s male strip club offers an immersive experience. While some male dancers work the crowd, offering lap dances, others perform onstage, engaging the audience with interactive shows. A popular feature is the “hot seat,” where a lucky bachelorette or birthday girl is brought onstage for a special performance.

Though the performances are provocative, there is no full-frontal nudity, keeping the experience playful and fun. "We aim to provide a safe, enjoyable atmosphere where our male strippers can entertain without crossing lines," Armando explains.

Behind the Scenes at HunkOMania

While comparisons to the movie Magic Mike are inevitable, the male strippers at HunkOMania insist the reality is different. "We don't tolerate drug use or reckless partying here," says Jay, one of the dancers. "If a performer crosses the line, they’re out of the show. We keep things professional."

For male strippers like Constantine, the secret to longevity in the industry is staying disciplined. "You have to be on top of your game," Constantine explains. "The work doesn't happen just during the show—it's about how you train, what you eat, and how you take care of yourself throughout the week."

How Magic Mike Has Influenced Male Strip Clubs

As movies like Magic Mike continue to popularize the male stripping industry, HunkOMania has benefited from the exposure. "The movie has made male strip shows more acceptable to people who might not normally consider attending," says David, another performer. The increased interest in male strippers has been reflected in the surge of women booking bachelorette parties and birthday events at HunkOMania's male strip clubs across major cities.

When a writer met the men of HunkOMania at a screening of Magic Mike, they were invited backstage to get an exclusive look at the preparation that goes into each performance. Here’s what they discovered behind the scenes.

Constantine's Take: Discipline and Dedication

Constantine, a regular performer at HunkOMania, says his signature look is the "tall, dark, and handsome" type, though he admits, "I can't say I have the best dance moves." Constantine believes that staying in peak condition is crucial for male strippers. "If you’re not disciplined, if you use substances, it will eventually catch up to you. The work happens offstage—how you train, what you eat, and how you take care of yourself."

HunkOMania remains one of the leading male strip clubs in the U.S., providing unforgettable experiences in NYC, Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and other major cities.
