Last Call // Human Jungles

Human Jungles: Bachelor and bachelorette parties are rarely found to not involve the consumption of massive amounts of alcohol and music.  While they celebrate, in a sense, the last night the soon-to-be-married person is sexually available, it rarely seems to be the case that the majority of those attending are sexually available themselves.  Unless one has obtained a “free pass” from their respective partner, there is nothing moral about going out-of-bounds or out-of-control with a third-party opposite person, and there never will be—not even at a bachelor or bachelorette party.

The stories I have heard about these parties, and those I have witnessed materializing firsthand, fall nothing short of scandalous, making it a night to NEVER forget, as often is advertised.  Especially troublesome is the practice of having opposite-sex strippers getting up close and personal with the groom-to-be’s or bride-to-be’s very own private parts, not to mention their own fully exposed and possibly erect parts.  Nowadays, innocently making out with one’s entertainer barely counts for anything.  Inviting the entertainer or entertainers to join the party afterwards is almost a given.  And of course many in this line of work are often willing to add on to their night’s income through direct pay.

Casino resorts are probably the riskiest place for such a celebration, especially when one does not even gamble, at least not with their own money, and is in the mood to walk around half-naked one last time [for sure], despite the fact that whatever pool or beach is nearby does not reopen until 8 AM.  As for nighttime activities, if live music entertainment is involved, dancing clear of the band’s stage, as opposed to on it, is just common sense if one is not sexually available and the band members are mostly of the opposite sex.  The same goes for all of the “props” options and point-keeping games played while celebrating that last night of singlehood.  With all of that said, there is really only one risk-reducing suggestion: organizing and holding a joint bachelor/bachelorette party so that all are in on it together.
