Publisher Description
First comes love;
then comes marriage. . . .
But in between there's the
bachelor party.
Lesbian strippers, dwarf tossing, boozy confessions, missing grooms -- modern bachelor party lore is enough to terrify any jittery bride. But what's real and what's testosterone-fueled legend? For the first time, Bachelor Party Confidential offers an uncensored and comprehensive look at what men do when women aren't invited.
You may think you've heard the stories . . . but you have no idea.
Filled with unforgettable firsthand accounts culled from totally anonymous interviews with more than a hundred men from around the globe, Bachelor Party Confidential journeys to the heart of one of man's last and most closely guarded secrets. To get the whole story, David Boyer talks to everyone from Vegas revelers mid-party, religious grooms, horny best men, and unconventional bachelors to reluctant wives, pricey strippers, bachelor party planners, and other behind-the-scenes players. The result is alternately hilarious, sexy, poignant, and truly eye-opening.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Though they've been around since 500 B.C., the rituals of bachelor parties-drinking, toasting and general debauchery-haven't really changed all that much. Author Boyer (Kings & Queens: Queers At the Prom) surveys the current cultural landscape in this breezy overview. There's little in the way of sociological analysis, but Boyer does cover the varying perspectives of the groom, his friends, his bride-to-be and party professionals through a large collection of anecdotes from parties (including "infamous" parties like Elton John and David Furnish's), "virtual debates" and interviews with party professionals such as strippers, coordinators and an X-rated clown. Though short on substance, this cultural history will no doubt receive a steady following among rowdy men about to board the flight to Vegas.
