I’ve never understood why most brides-to-be are forced to drink from penis straws and are duped into wearing condom adorned veils during their bachelorette parties. I just don’t get why this is so funny!
In order to unveil this mystery, I decided to do some research through an esteemed online publication: 101 Bachelorette Party Tips. Its homepage reads that “Bachelorette parties are renowned for inspiring women to really ’let their hair down.’ Frankly, women are seldom so naughty and as goofy as when they are giggling hysterically over a novel party favor, gag gift, or risqué party game. Males are objectified and generally ridiculed to gales of gleeful laughter.” Oh, I see. A little eye for an eye? Men objectify women, so women wear penis beads.
Here’s a gem from bachelorette.com: “Penis Straws set the mood for a great bachelorette party. Your bachelorette party guests will love these flesh colored plastic Penis Straws. I like to see the straws when everyone is done drinking to see who the biter of the group is. Then, we send the straw home with her to warn her man!”
I have nothing against women who find this hilarious; obviously many do. I just don’t understand the sudden fixation with penis once a bachelorette party is mentioned. I’ve never seen a bachelor running around town drinking from sippy cup fashioned to look like a vulva! Can someone shed some light?
I am seriously in love with this post! I’m with you, Miss L. Nothing wrong with it persay, it just seems kind of…old? Tired? I dunno. Then again, I saw Miss Strawberry’s photos from her bach. party and they looked HYSTERICAL — to each their own!
*sigh…I agree, having said that my fsil is getting married in September and her MOH and I have just spent nearly $100 bucks on bachelorette junk! I blogged about some of the items we purchased…
A vulva sippy cup? Too funny!
I’ve been to these types of par-tays and it’s always been fun and funny. But when it comes to me as the bride, I just can’t see myself doing the same thing. Love your “gem” by the way! 
Favorite Line: “Men objectify women, so women wear penis beads”
HAHAHA. Too funny, Miss Licorice.
I could take the penis straws or leave them. I’d rather leave them, though if they were presented to me by people who had set up the party, I would oblige them.
Um, Mr. Petunia does say, however, that if such a vulva cuppie DID exist, he would SO drink from it at his bachelor party. I’m still trying to decide how I feel about that, lol.
LOL @ this post!! I myself am mortified by the penis paraphernalia too. I went to a concert not long ago where one girl was absolutely bedecked in peni…or is it penises (What is the plural for penis?) down to a flashing light up penis. I was embarrassed for her. Maybe this started back when most brides saved themselves for their wedding night. Perhaps this was the way to unleash and harness the inner tramp for the wedding night?
I love the peen straws, i do think they are funny, they are so stupid! it is classic camp fun.
i’ve also requested no penis straws/cakes/games or condom veils for my party. it may be lots of fun for others, but not my style.
I always made fun of those parties and swore I would NEVER want that….now my party is in 2 days and I can’t wait to see what they come up with! I think after all the craziness of planning the wedding it’s fun to act 12 and giggle when you talk about “doing it”
“I’ve never seen a bachelor running around town drinking from sippy cup fashioned to look like a vulva!” - hahaha. good point!
yeah, i really really really do not want a penii-themed party. but my bms are jokingly threatening me with one. haha. i like what mrs. plum’s bms did for her - hello kitty!! woot woot!
lol! i did see a cup shaped like a boob! no vulva though!
i too, declined the offer to wear any penis paraphernalia. no penis veils, no large sash that says bachelorette. i do want a veil bcause i do think it gets us into places for free or more easily. but my MOH asked disappointingly, “so no penis ring?!” no, no, penis ring, my dear friend.
Maybe Miss Strawberry could shed some light for you 
I think one of her previous posts described her bachelorette party.
Do you suspect your bridal party is planning something similar for you? If you don’t like stuff like this, I hope you’ve told them!
I wholeheartedly agree with you! Thank you for posting this.
hahahhaa! i love this post…my bachelorette party is this weekend and I demanded NO PENIS!
Yeah, if I was planning a bachlorette party, I don’t know if I would have stocked up on penis paraphenalia or not. But I think of it is decorating. Gaudy decorating. I think it’s fun–not funny. And I had a blast at my party–the penises just got us more attention!
No light to shed here, I dont get it either. Bachelorette parties like these are definitely amusing to see running around vegas but the novelty is completely lost on me.
My only restriction on my bridesmaids was “no cups shaped like a penis”!
hehehe my big sis (who is a staid doctor) doesn’t know it but I’ve got a giant peen cake just waiting for her at her party!!
