RE: Bachelor Parties

Collette · Chanel

I wasn't thrilled with him having one but he did. He and his friends went to Miami for the weekend but all they did was drink and go to bars. His friends are all older (40's) and kind of dorky so picking up women in Miami wasn't going to happen. Plus I trust him 100% not to go to strip joints I also trusted his best man who is a good friend of mine as well not to take him to one. So I guess I'm ok with them as long as they are not the typical strippers sort of party.

i'm not okay with them. I totally trust my husband but for me it's not a trust issue, its about the enviroment he would be in. i know guys get "woodys" very easily but to go to a stripclub and pay for that kind of stuff bothers me! and its very rare if a guy dose not get a lap dance, either he pays or a friend will end up paying for him (they are not that expensive). and lap dances are too personal, the girls ass and tits are all over the guys, grinding, bumping and all that stuff. i know and hear a lot of things cause 2 of my girlfriends are strippers and i know girls that go to them with their husbands, its just too out there for me.

i always thought that i was very open-minded and progressive about this kind of thing, until i had a boyfriend who got very honest about a lot of things (going through rehab) and spilled the beans on the reality of what had happened at the many many bachelor parties he had been to. so i'm with lorelei--i was floored by what "regular guys guys" consider to be appropriate "fun." it was much worse than i had ever imagined.

I don't really like the idea of them, but I am not totally against them. I would maybe feel differently if I were seeing someone other than my BF, but he is not one to get too crazy. Though he has made a couple visits to the strip club, he actually doesn't like the idea of them--only because he doesn't like shelling out the money for what he calls a "tease."

However, I have no doubt that many of his (and my own) friends are all about crazy strip club bachelor parties. I trust him, but it doesn't surprise me anymore to hear how some men act at such events.

I think they're dumb, but I would never say no to it or anything. I figure at that point, you have to trust the guy to do the right thing. Whatever, go to a strip club and drink all night.... you just better not sleep with anyone or show up to the wedding hungover.
