Response to Bridezilla

I agree with your attitude towards having a stripper at a bachelor party, as "no big deal," seeing how it has become a popular tradition involved with such events and even a phenomenon occurring at parties for the bride. The only objection I do have is, I would have to disagree with the symbolic reference of the stripper's body as a symbol of one's "freedom" being taken away. When we commit ourselves to someone else, we check our freedom at the door, the very moment we decide to be exclusive our bodies belong to each other sexually and to no one else. If anything, I think the stripper is a symbol of his strength and move towards commitment. Sitting in his chair, the bachelor is put to test, his mind should never associate the naked body in front of him with any sexual thought, as you had discussed. Though this may be to an extreme, and perhaps I am an idealist in love, I do believe in marriage as a full commitment and think the excuse that "men think with their dicks" is bullshit (excuse the language). Boys are the new girls, they are just as emotionally charged and possesive in a relationship as women. Anyhow, I also agree that she should not feel the need to outwardly assert such power over his actions and his body, as trust is the building block for any relationship. She should hopefully know by now, that his love for her is an omnipresent power over his body (thought process and action) that will keep him faithful for the rest of their lives together... hopefully =)
