Don’t lap dance and tell.
More than 70% of Americans have cheated on their partners while attending raucous bachelor or bachelorette parties, a new survey found.
Bonusfinder.com surveyed 6,000 people, including the soon-to-be-betrothed and their guests, about any frisky business at these events and defined cheating as ranging from flirting or downloading a dating app during the parties, to sexting or sleeping with someone other than their partner.
“Bachelor and bachelorette parties, it’s the last hurrah,” Bela Gandhi, founder of Smart Dating Academy, told The Post. “These events are often fueled by alcohol, controlled substances, peer pressure, and a lack of communication between partners.”
The most common instances of infidelity were relatively chaste, including receiving a lap dance (33.1%) and smooching (21.3%).
Yet 11.2% of attendees admitted to sleeping with someone else — and 9% said that they got hot and heavy in the sheets as part of a threesome.
“It just goes to show what people think is OK culturally at these events, versus having these conversations with their partners,” Gandhi said.

Great reference!
Party down right now, or forever hold your ‘peace’!
I would cheat at my bachelor party to.
Nobody beats me at monopoly and backgammon, ever.
And I thought drag racing the buggy and making that fringe fly was risque....
This mentality is why marriage is dropping off a cliff.
“What a beautiful wedding
What a beautiful wedding”, says a bridesmaid to a waiter
“And, yes, but what a shame
What a shame the poor groom’s bride is a whore”
I chime in with a
“Haven’t you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?”
No, it’s much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality

70%???
What a crock.
Flirting us not cheating.
I do NOT believe this.
And you wonder why this country has gone to hell. Cheat on your soon to be spouse, no big deal. Same person goes to work and cheats on costumers, or the voters, etc, no big deal.
I have never been to a bachelor party, or any kind of party as an adult really, but do flirt sometimes. I can’t help it. They flirt back, too. I’m not married.
I once saw security footage of a bride having sex with the best man in the garden of the facility where she was getting married. Nothing explicit, but you knew what they were doing.
I should add that “we” recognize when we’re going a little too far with the flirtatious talk, I mean if she’s married, and we stop it.
I agree entirely. When I see couples in their 70s and 80s who have been together for 60+ years it makes me very happy and makes me optimistic for the world. Just think about all they had to go through to get to that point - good times and difficult times.
I'm not a big bachelor party guy, but I don't judge. I just don't like them. I grew up in the city, but I remember talking to a guy I met from rural Indiana. He said that at his bachelor party he and a bunch of friends went into a field, talked a lot, had some drinks, and eventually drove a tractor in circles. Maybe lame for some, but it was at least more interesting than a lot of the cliche bachelor parties I've attended.
This is why my hubby and I didn’t have parties before our wedding. The night before our wedding we went home and went to bed. We’ve been married 23 years. It just isn’t worth it doing the whole bachelor/bachelorette thing.
And 100% of people have committed murder, defining murder as ranging from having unkind thoughts about someone, yelling at them, smacking them, hitting them with a hammer, slitting their throat and leaving their dead body for the wolves.
We played Bible Trivia at mine in 1995. Didn’t notice any cheating.
It’s not the last hurrah. When the honeymoon period is over, they’ll go looking again.
