The author makes clear from the outset that the focus is not on all bachelor or bachelorette celebrations. Instead, the emphasis is on events that cross lines of decency, spark public discomfort, and strain everyday life for residents. While some gatherings remain ordinary and lighthearted, this piece acknowledges others that tilt toward excess. The author admits to personally avoiding participation in these festivities, either as a future partner or as a guest, to sidestep the pressure to escalate excitement. A stranger’s unwanted physical contact or being pulled into a crowded, suggestive moment is described as deeply off-putting. It is claimed that romance suffers when such scenes take center stage, and the author notes a willingness to forego participation with a wry sense of relief.
The text then situates modern pre-wedding celebrations as a trend that increasingly resembles uncontrolled social behavior. Municipalities are introducing rules aimed at curbing loud, disruptive conduct by groups that rely on alcohol and other substances to fuel their activities. Some local officials, including members from progressive parties, call for a firmer approach and more police presence to reduce disturbances caused by large, mobile crowds who travel with megaphones and loud displays in public spaces.
Ultimately, some partygoers endure physical discomfort from urban pollution, while others chase quick profits in a market that markets entertainments for celebrants. Behind the visible excess lies a business model where organizers, venues, and service providers profit from large crowds during these weekends. Critics warn that these ventures tarnish the image of the cities where they occur and disrupt neighbors’ right to rest and peace. A number of observers argue that city dwellers deserve protection from late-night commissions and loud celebrations that spill into residential zones.
The piece notes that attendees should consider staying in areas removed from their homes to parade in flamboyant outfits without inviting attention. The described offerings range from lodging and meals to open bars, entertainment venues, and adult services available for a fee. Prices are cited as roughly in the range of one hundred to two hundred euros per person, with add-ons like private performances or specialty staff on request.
In discussing tastes and boundaries, the writer acknowledges that some people perceive these celebrations as harmless fun or a lighthearted social ritual, while others see them as crude, disrespectful, and intrusive, especially to soon-to-be partners. Proponents argue that the organizers provide safety resources and essential services for these weekend gatherings, but the critique remains that such celebrations often prioritize spectacle over consideration for neighbors and the wider community. The writer, noting the shift in social norms around intimate events, closes with a sense of astonishment at how attitudes have evolved and how public spaces are used during these occasions. The overall point is not to ban enjoyment but to balance festivity with respect for the neighborhoods that host it. [Citation: Municipal reports and city council statements, 2024-2025]
