Have old fashioned Bachelor parties gone the way of the dinosaur?

[GarlicGuy]

The last bachelor party that I went to that had strippers and such had to be 25 years ago.

My bachelor party - 17 years ago - was a golf outing with about 8 of my friends. My nephew had a bachelor party about 12 years ago, and they just went to a sports bar. And this week I was invited to a different nephew's bachelor party, and the event is being held at a Buffalo Wild Wings. His party involves drinking and watching the local NFL team on the big screens.

I don't get many invites to these events anymore, as I am usually 20 years older than the guy getting married, but I have heard from guys that the old fashioned stripper / hooker gives a blowjob kind of event is almost non-existent anymore.

True?

At least for myself, the hooker thing would be off the table due to STDs.

[unfilteredJW]

Probably because these younger men aren't bunch of assclowns that think starting a marriage by cheating is acceptable.

But I'm being incredibly optimistic.

Around here people usually set up a bunch of activities that involves drinking, including public humiliation, costumes, weird themes, surprises, interesting places and whatnot. It is what you make it though. The guys I know wouldn't want strippers or a blowjob when they're getting married.

I wouldn't have said it quite so harshly, but I agree.

I wonder how common the douche-bag bachelor party really was, and how much we just believe what we see on TV/movies too much.

Stripper sure, but I don't think prostitutes were ever common for the groom, maybe the other guys.

[Dug]

Men are more informed on the dangers of STDs and don't want a blowjob from a stranger? Also, they don't want to cheat on their SO.

Stag do's are basically an excuse to get rat arsed.

Sound like what I heard bachelor parties are.
Do they wear (how do I say this) matching shirts so everyone can keep a distance too? That's mostly for the women though as they all become woo-girls at that point.

To my knowledge, that sort of thing is restricted to hollywood. Never even heard of anyone having 'that' sort of bachelor party.

Pretty much this, and the fact that the fear of STDs is a more prevalent in today's society.

I played D&D and MTG for my bachelor party with friends.....had girls there too....not strippers or anything....just a bunch of friends.

You can wear a condom and not spread your STDs to the hooker.

This... I'd love to think that we've matured as a society, but then I turn on the news and I'm reminded that isn't the case...

What is the attraction to strip clubs?

Hell, I can watch porn for free and see waaay better looking women do way more than take her bra off on stage and expect a bunch of dollar bills for the effort.

I'd be willing to bet the last 20 years have been difficult times for strip clubs. I'm also pretty sure not that many people cared.

[Rudkobing]

No, it hasn't gone the "Way of the Dinosaur."

If you think looking at a computer screen while yanking it with some Jergens is better than a real woman teasing you, dancing on you I don't know what to say.

uhm no they exist it depends on how big of a vagina the groom has compared to how big the balls on the best man are. I have been to some lame ass bachelor parties as well where my friend was getting married to some uptight chick who tried to forbade strip clubs. Both times that has happened we went to strip clubs after whatever pansy ass thing they had planned. Like one that was on the northern outskirts of Chicago he wanted to go to some sports bar or something after getting him half drunk we talked him into the strip joint that kinda sucked. Another, I'm pretty sure we paid the party bus driver an additional sum to take us to the strip club instead.
