Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | 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. | | | |

Every man (and woman!) should read this... May 15, 2007
Firstly, I have to declare an interest - my novel, Stag: A Story About Coming of Age--In a Bar, is set on a bachelor weekend and David Boyer used a contribution from me in this book so I'm bound to be a bit biased. That said, it's brilliant. My copy arrived here in London this morning - and I haven't been able to put it down all day! It's funny and full of fascinating insights... some of these tales make the bachelor parties I've attended look positively boring by comparison. This would be a great book to buy a male friend (or a woman who's keen to know what happens when guys get together!)

What a hoot! May 12, 2007
I was at the bookstore trying to get some ideas about planning a bachelor party for one of my best friends from school, when I came across this hilarious,(and often warmhearted),account.Makes me totally look forward to the party and I got some GREAT ideas.A cool read too.
My wife is going to give it as gifts to some of her friends. She said it was quite the eye opener!

I found this book to be very sociological. May 04, 2007
In answer to the main review of the book just below the publishing informaton above: In fact, I found this book to be very, very sociological: a good ethnographic method of participating and observing the parties and a good historical method of interviewing participants. That its prose is fun and wry does not lessen its documentary appeal. Why does convoluted language and theoretical name-dropping constitute sociological (or scholarly) all the darn time? Can't sociological, historical, and journalistic writing be fun to read and clearly written?

A great gift idea -- funny, entertaining (and a bit shocking) !!! Apr 25, 2007
And I thought I had been to some crazy bachelor parties!
Boyer -- a trained journalist -- collects some pretty hair-raising stories here of the age-old tradition of bachelor parties. But this book is more than just a collection of accounts about the funny, surprising, erotic and sometimes embarrassing last-nights of freedom. The author provides both a history the bachelor party ritual (yes, it goes WAY back) and -- more interestingly -- a real behind-the-scenes look at the "industry" itself. The interviews with strippers, dwarves, and adult-entertainment clowns (NOT to be missed!) are pretty interesting and definitely give you a window into the lives of people who, even if you meet them one day, you'd never hear the real stories about.
This would be a great gift for a guy about to take the marriage plunge, or his bride who's wondering what could possibly go on at a bachelor party. Highly Recommended.
