Mr. ausgezeichnet uses the Dove for Men because he has sensitive skin. Those Old Spice body washes (with extra testosterone baked right in!) are extremely harsh and drying. Perhaps TPTB think that men want to toughen up on the outside?

Awesome article. What a bunch of bullshit (the whole mancation thing, I mean, not what you’ve written).

I see what y’all mean about bachelor parties, too. I’m bothered by that whole ‘last night of freedom’ thing, too.

All of the ones I’ve been to have been “Jack & Jill” parties where the bride, groom and wedding party all just go out together to drink and dance and celebrate.

Humorous anecdote: When my friend Ashley got married, we took her to a drag club. Such fun! The main queen paid $1 to suck candy off Ashley’s t-shirt and then sang to her. Anyway, we needed to use the ladies’ room, and we were stunned to learn that (a) the “ladies’ room” was “the last row of stalls in the men’s room” and (b) we had to walk through a gay strip club to get to it. Ha! We were shocked!!! Hahaha, funny naive suburban girls.

Horrifying anecdote: My friend Dave planned a BP for his brother. They booked two strippers, and one of them just started going around giving out BJs on the cheap, without the guys asking about it or anything. Anyway, the second stripper was just standing around, and one of the guys approached her and asked for some service. She sneered at him and said, “I ain’t no blow pig!” Lesson learned: everyone draws the line somewhere.

I guess under your criteria as long as the soon to be wife is cool with it then it’s ok. I personally would be fine with my fiance getting a lapper from some guy on her bachelorette party–to me that’s harmless fun. Kissing or any kind of penetration? No way.
