Bachelor parties/stag nights

"They're for YOUR FRIENDS, not you".

So anyway, I'm not going. Mostly because it'll be my first time back in New Orleans and my only chance to do New Orleans things instead of wedding things, since I'm only there for like two days.

I have no idea what to expect from them in general, having heard such a wide variety of things about different friends' and friends-of-friends' parties.

my stag day:

bowling (and beer)
curry (and beer)
nightclub (and more beer)

it also helped that my mates ran the club i suppose, and i was very surprised when i was totally not humiliated in the slightest, just nicely slaughtered...

ally i agree with you that standard stripper/tying to lampposts/putting on train to inverness shennanigans is rub, but i just had a good day on the lash with 15 of my mates

< /stereotype>

friend of mine reportedly did that when she was invited to her friend's bachelor party, 'cuz she sure as shit wasn't going to the bachelorette party. "oh look! we can all sit around and drink wine coolers with her aunts! how FUN!"

You keep saying that. One of these days, I'll find out...

but to answer your question nordique, this is my motto:

it doesn't matter where you are, if you're with the right people, you can have a blast anywhere.

first was my brother's. i was the best man. already completely drunk when we walked into the strip club, they immediately swooped the two of us upstairs into private rooms. i'd never had a lap dance before and didn't know what to expect so i ended up getting embarrased and just talking to the girl. what do you say to someone when they say "so what would you like me to do???"

next was my uncle's (a santa barbara frat boy - the worst kind) in las vegas. my kidney's hurt the whole weekend i was drinking so much. they got strippers to come to the room. have any of you guys seen the last scene in Requiem for a Dream?

finally mine just a few weeks ago. it was full bar, so no full nudity. i actually thought this was better. it was tamer sexually, but less tame because we were all so drunk. one of the strippers was giving me a lap dance and slapped me really hard on the face as a joke "to wake me up". that was the highlight of the evening.

oh, but these don't even compare to the stories of my friends that have been to them. one friend had a stripper in his apartment. had the boys put on strapons and fuck them. another time one of my friends went down on this nasty lil kim looking stripper and she told him it was like "living in the ritz"

Wow. Being a stripper sounds fun.

he came up to you at the wedding and talked to you about being a dj?? yeah, that uncle. he wasn't involved in the "ass to ass" if that's what you're thinking, but the strippers at his bachelor party were.

have fun tonight, woo yeah, i think we've got dinner plans next week check your roommate's calendar.

it doesn't matter where you are, if you're with the right people, you can have a blast anywhere.

gygax!, that is a charming and incredibly sweet motto. Translated form the original latin?

Now that's more like it.

The "them" in that last sentence is rather ambiguous, I think.

now THAT's a party!

Horace, that's not a stag night, that's a marriage.

And to answer the questioon, it's not the fear of eternal bliss/nomoresex that stops me getting marr(i)ed, it's the fear of the stag night.

there was an article in cosmo about a woman's husband that was murdered on a stag night in amsterdam...i'm interested in more 'dark side of the stag night' stories. although it was really sad...

Let me give you an example of a typical customer response on a local website:

"The dj could drown a cat with his collection of piss
records"

"this friday was awful, no people, no atmosphere and
no talent behind the music, it was total pants, hang
the dj the bar staff and the bloody doorman"

oh, and not to mention:

"WHAT CAN I SAY! I (we) had a great night at the Gap Club! Thanks to all the fireman and my chaperone - Mr Blue!!!! He was a laugh! And the driver John! I took all my girlie friends and no one was left out - all had the attention and all loved it!
Dancing on the bar and being soaked, having shots poured down mouths! Competitions, etc etc etc Oh and thanks for my flaming sambuca with a lolly!!!!!
Loved it - you must go and visit the GAP CLUB!"

"Too me it was one big tacky orgy club, men coming in later to see if they can get a what shall i say "SHAG later" , as the women get to see
cock and will be up for it!!!nah this is not for me nor my fellow hens"

the bar staff:

I don't know whether to laugh or cry; and the girls? they're shitting themselves...

1. my dad
2. my brotherinlaw
3. a close family friend
4. the(late) poet Ted Hughes

they went to a (ha!) poetry reading, then a strip club. none of my husband's friends or kin arrived til later in the week so they couldn't attend. but fun was had all round, apparently.

i on the other hand had a less glamourous time at my "doe" party: i got alcohol poisoning from the shooters my high school girlfriends were buying me and ended up rolling down a hill into a bush and was bed-ridden for 24 hours.

BatcheLOLZ party

Chewbacca standup :D

Everything about this thread makes me more grossed out by the concept than I was before I started reading.

The Guide to Getting It On asks "If you want to pay to lick whipped cream of the silicon breasts of overpriced women, why do it for a bachelor party? Why not do it whenever you want?" Something like that. lolz

I also rolled up a dollar bill like a straw and stuck it in her onion.

"monogamous" heterosexuality = 98% fucked-up bullshit

Stripper in my mate's living room = one of the most awkward/uncomfortable experiences, i must say

I like these kind of prefabricated rituals.

Though never had any strippers at any bachelor parties I've been to.

These depend entirely on the group really - one of the best nights I've had this year was leading my best friend's stag night - but equally they can be appalling if you're in the wrong place with the wrong people. Never been to one that involved strippers or competitive drinking but I can imagine that would be pretty grim.

Funnest bachelor party I've ever been to was at a paintball arena.

otm

also otm, surprisingly had a lot of fun at this one

I can't believe I've been talked into this, after stalling it for so long.

god fucking damn it, I'm attending one for my oldest friend this weekend and the guy organising it has it ending, of course - of COURSE - in a fucking BURLESQUE RESTAURANT

obviously I'll be departing the scene prior to this but it's quite sad to think how this mild fellow will wind up celebrating his forthcoming nuptials in the literal worst place in the world

is that different from a strip club

More particularly, how is that different from a strip club

Just back from my stag weekend btw

is it burlesque like the american version where it's an empowering activity with women doing themed burlesque junk or are we talking trad burlesque

Lol

like when I go to see my friends who maybe used to do roller derby and it's Star Wars-themed burlesque and I see maybe one or two people who can dance balanced out by a half-dozen women in stormtrooper masks almost stumbling over things and gyrating before removing whatever shirt they're wearing in tear-away fashion to reveal pasties

imago cmon man you could liveblog the hell out of that.

organising my brother's this year - i say organising it but mostly he has tended to ask for advice then do the thing he wanted to in the first place. ultimately it's his weekend so that's grand, and it means i don't have to make much effort, essentially i might end up booking things he's already decided to do. v limited scope too - he's negotiated the main plan back to end as "going to his local pub".

for a brief while i thought i should push him a bit in case he regrets this in years to come but i stopped after testing the water.

two best I've been on were a day-long canoe trip and a rural bar crawl where we started at 8AM and ended around midnight having done a large loop through the center of the state. nice of our driver to put up with us.

i've never really understood why people cheat on their partners at stags...i mean, it just seems wrong to me

I don't know anyone who's done that, I guess it depends on what counts as cheating and what the terms of your relationship are idk

i just read a possibly bullshit statistic that a high number of men keep it from their partner, but yeah mh you're right, it's context

Just on stags tho?

Aren't "stag parties" from the 1950s or something? Like "bull sessions"?

Do you mean they don't happen anymore or do you mean that's where they belong

I mean no one calls them that anymore do they

Hmm, my no-one might be different to your no-one, but they're called stag dos over here anyway

it's regional

I just consider ireland a region now btw

You and amazon
