TIFU going to a strip club in Paris

Last week I was on a trip in Paris and on my last night I went to a strip club near my hotel near the Champs Elysee (Whisper Club) and I bought a nude private dance. I’ve only ever been to clubs in the US a handful of times. During the dance, which was about 10 minutes, the dancer sat on my lap, grinded on me, touched me with her body, etc. - it was honestly more contact than I expected, and she was not wearing bottoms. She also let me touch her waist and legs a bit seemingly without any issue and initiated some touching of her by guiding my hands at a couple points. I remained fully clothed of course, though the dancer did unbutton one button on my over shirt at one point.

I didn’t realize at the time, but now that I am home I see that contact dances and touching in Paris may not actually be allowed by laws - I can’t find that answer for sure, but I didn’t know if this fell under the sex solicitation rules. Now I am worried that I had broken a law in a different country or something without realizing it and that it might have some kind of repercussions someday, somehow. - like there being a warrant in a database somehow that would come up if I used a passport to go to the country again, or if the dancer later accused me of something (the club scanned my ID and credit card before the dance, which I assumed was just for verification, the place seemed pretty professional and generally upscale).

I am back in the US now but feeling uneasy about it all. Obviously I didn’t intend to do anything wrong - I was just trying to explore a bit of a novel experience in Paris while on vacation for fun. The dancer seemed friendly, she didn’t seem upset in any way in the moment (she of course tried to sell me more songs and actually told me she liked for all the customers she had to have a good time and that she liked the dances to not feel robotic), and the dance at the time seemed uneventful for the most part. I’m sure she and others there did dozens more dances like it that night. I guess I just feel uneasy now knowing that it might not really have been “allowed” or even technically legal what happened. I usually try to follow rules by the book in my life and figured that at a seemingly legitimate club in a popular tourist area there, there wouldn’t be an issue. It’s getting the best of my anxiety now and I feel regretful.

Tl;dr I went to a strip club in Paris, had a lap dance, and now am worried there could be repercussions somehow.

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
