Manhattan’s Own Is Making Waves
When it comes to adult entertainment, everyone knows that New York City is full of surprises. The island is crawling with plenty of gentleman’s clubs, strip clubs, night clubs, and adult parties to boot. And with the recent craze of male strippers and dancers making its way into Hollywood movies – hence, Magic Mike – it would only seem appropriate that the industry identifies the real-world Magic Mike. You know, he’s that Channing Tatum-looking fella who knows how to get all of the girls in the club screaming for him?
Unfortunately, Channing Tatum isn’t the one strutting about New York City wowing women with his physique and his moves – but that’s okay, because Sharay Hayes is the real deal. Sharay Hayes, a Harlem-born 6-foot-2, 238-pound man is the epitome of the male physique. Not only is he tall, stylish, and formed, but he’s only got 7% body fat on him – and that is something that surely stands out amongst the crowd.
Sharay got his start in the New York City stripper scene rather recently. With a career that began as an assistant kindergarten teacher, Sharay quit his job at just 22 years old to pursue a job in the stripping industry – not because he felt that he could do better, simply because he wanted to make an ex-girlfriend jealous. At the time, Sharay had just gone through a painful breakup with a long-time girlfriend, and he wanted to find a way to make her jealous. He figured if she saw him dancing with enough random women, and if she saw them marvel over his body and his overall aura, she would want him back.
However, like most breakups, this one was permanent. Sharay lost his girlfriend, and she never did come crawling back like she thought he would. And while loss is never something to be chalked up, Sharay did find himself a new profession and a new line of work that he truly loved. In Manhattan, the stripper game can be quite competitive, but for Sharay, the competition was no match. Not only did he hit the scene in stride, but he virtually built the stripper scene on his shoulders – and sometimes, quite literally.
The Punisher
Sharay performs as “The Punisher,” and he is known for a crazy move that brings an audience member up over his shoulders, upside down. He describes it as a “standing 69 position,” a move he believes other strippers around New York City have tried to steal, copy, and claim to be their own. However, all you need to do is take one look at Sharay performing the maneuver and you’ll know that this one is his.
For nearly two decades, Sharay has built his reputation as one of the most popular male exotic entertainers in the New York City stripper scene – and he likes it that way. Known for his in-club antics, Sharay also has a few scandals that he likes to talk about. From time to time, he’ll have the occasional one night stand with the overzealous fan who wants to continue the show after hours, and he always has to figure out a way to balance that intense attraction with his professional line of work.
Sharay takes his job seriously as “The Punisher,” and he doesn’t want to do anything that would sacrifice his reputation as one of the most skilled and passionate male performers in the entertainment industry. However, he also allows that passion to shine bright during every performance, sometimes bringing women to the edge of their seats during lap dances.
The interesting thing is that for a male stripper known as “The Punisher,” Sharay was actually quite the shy kid growing up. He would have been considered almost anti-social as a teenager, and it wasn’t until he fell in love with his high school sweetheart that his real personality began to come out. And then, when she broke his heart, things went loose from here. One could say that Sharay grew out of that inner shyness, while someone else might say that he simply forced himself out of it. However it happened, Sharay certainly built a new career for himself, a new pathway to success, and one heck of a following.
Turning Moves Into Money
Sharay is one of the most lucrative male performers out there today. He regularly performs every week at Hunk-O-Mania in New York City, although he pays close attention to Harbor Nightclub, which is located in Midtown Manhattan. A club regular, Sharay offers everything from VIP tables to signature performances. From time to time, Sharay can go home with up to $2k for his services in a single night. Not to mention, women are sometimes willing to pay upwards of $500 for a VIP table to see him.
Throughout his extensive career, Sharay has performed in more than 17,000 shows. With each and every performance, he brings something new and exciting to the table. Being known as the real-life Magic Mike has set a fire under Sharay to continuously one-up himself and the movie with every new move he breaks out.
In fact, if you were to ask Sharay what he thought about the movie, he’d tell you that the moves and routines are decent, but that they’re all amateurs! A male stripper with a sense of humor is always a nice change of pace, but you’ll see quite quickly that Sharay has the moves and the attitude to back up that claim. In other words, Magic Mike is no match for The Punisher.
The fact of the matter is that audience members are willing to pay the big bucks to see Sharay perform in New York City. He even has a few notable instances where he would have a repeat customer come to see him perform whenever his name was listed on the door. One fan in particular, Sharay believes, that she could have spent well over $10,000 to see him perform multiple times.
It is that level of dedication from his audience members and fans that keeps it all interesting for him. Sharay believes that he will continue to perform as a male stripper for the rest of his life – well into the retirement age. And let’s be honest, if he can keep up the moves, keep up with his physique, and continue to leave women in awe each and every time he walks into a room, why should he stop?
