    Do a lot of women have an issue with their men going to a strip joint? I mean as like a one off, as part of a stag do, not regularly attending one. Obviously the bride-to-be is cool with me going to one.
    I wouldn't have too much of an issue if my OH was going to a strip club as part of a mate's stag do - after all, he's attending for his mate. However, if he was the one who wanted to go, it would definitely make me think less of him.

    I do know a lot of strippers (I was married to one)

    bloomin' 'eck! You're not planning on getting a private show with your stripper ex wife before your wedding are you!?

    That's bound to go down well with your future wife.

    It's not a case of not allowing !!!!!! but finding it degrading and inappropriate.

    No every man doesn't.

    My husband has never been to a strip club and finds the whole idea wrong.


    Yeah I'm sure that's what he tells you

    haha, no, and that would be a bad thing, but she's no longer a stripper as far as I'm aware, not in this country anyway.

    However, slight snag, a few of my mate's OHs will not stand for their man going to a strip joint, which is kind of a bummer.
    Maybe their OH's aren't the ones with a problem with it...maybe it's your mates themselves who don't fancy an evening in a strip club and are using their partners as a convenient get out clause.

    For my stag do, I really want to go to strip clubs. There are three in very close proximity in Edinburgh, so I was thinking "bus run" stopping at various pubs then hitting the strip clubs. However, slight snag, a few of my mate's OHs will not stand for their man going to a strip joint, which is kind of a bummer. I don't see the big deal, they're not going to be getting off with any strippers, I mean touching is very much taboo!


    I suppose the answer would be two stag dos. One for the guys allowed to the strip joints and one for the ones not allowed, and bride's father and the older gentlemen.

    Blag it to the ones who are not amused and say you are doing a paint balling weekend, I was best man at a very good friends wedding last year and his missus gave me instructions to not go to any strippers to which I agreed would not be done so she had nothing to fear.


    Booked a flight and hotel to and only told them at the last minute where we were going but all the partners believed it was a paint balling/adventure weekend - What I can say is Riga in Latvia has nothing in common with Liverpool, Still to this day it is only my other half that knows where we went.

    No you can't. I would be very shocked to find that he did.
