Norah Vincent's next task was to explore the "men" place - strip clubs. Phil whose father has taught how to treat women in a “cruel” and un-gentleman-like way accompanied Ned to the place called "Lizard Lounge". Vincent captured the scenes she witnessed very realistically and truthfully for the readers. She tried the lap dances with one dancer in a private lounge and explains in detail how awkward it was for Vincent to feel. Vincent reminds the readers "the conflict between baseline male sexuality and the civilized role of a man" means that there are two different sides of a person, not only men but women as well and the role of the many each individual choose to act on is what matters. Throughout this chapter 3, as the aura the title gives "Sex", was a frightening and astonishing experience for both Vincent and me. Vincent especially talks precisely about how degrading the place was for women to be at. How the dancers carry themselves in front of crowd and how the crowd react to that was just painful to illustrate and understand. It was terrifying and frightening for me. As Vincent kept on observing men's life in many ways, she met various kinds of people she would have never had the chance to meet as Norah Vincent but as Ned and learnt many things freshly.
