Plastic willies and male strippers swapped for escape rooms and axe throwing at hen dos
PLASTIC willies and male strippers at hen dos are being ditched in favour of escape rooms and axe throwing.
Stags are also shunning booze and strip clubs, research reveals.
Party organisers Last Night of Freedom (LNOF), which arranges thousands of bashes a year, said not one male stripper was booked for any of its bridal events in 2024.
Group shows featuring hunky “Butlers in the buff” were also down nearly 70 per cent.
Yet bookings for immersive experiences such as escape rooms karaoke booths, cocktail making and mini-golf rocketed by 270 per cent.
LNOF’s Matt Mavir said: “Trends are changing. Hens and stags aren’t booking risqué activities as much.
“This could be in part due to platforms like OnlyFans where you can essentially connect with a person without leaving your house for £10.
“Perhaps the thought of an in-real life experience is too overwhelming.”
Married dad-of-two Matt has organised more than 50,000 stag and hen dos over 25 years.
He added: “People aren’t boozing as heavily and we’re down more than 50 per cent on purely alcohol related activities.”
Matt said stag parties have not completely ditched strip clubs — with grooms three times more likely to indulge in an adult show abroad than in the UK.
