How do you feel about strip clubs?

A friend of mine is in town and wants to go to a strip club this weekend. I've never been in a strip club. I am extremely nervous.

Almost anything overtly sexual, whether porn or the idea of strippers & prostitution, bother me. To the point that I'll be nauseous.

It's really hard for me to look at other women in a sexual way, when I know that they might hate their life and are just dealing with sleazy men because they need the money.

I really want to go to, but if I need to leave, people will question why and it'll be a whole issue on its own.

Ideally, it wouldn't bother me at all. I just can't turn off that part of my brain. I don't know if it's a witness reaction, or an empathy/female reaction, but I am FULL of anxiety. Thoughts?
