"Have you heard of sex parties for expecting parents? And not to fret, they&amp;amp;#8217;re not nearly as racy as they sound. Here&amp;amp;#8217;s how they work: expectant parents will visit their doctor&amp;amp;#8217;s find out their baby&amp;amp;#8217;s gender. However, they&amp;amp;#8217;ll ask the doctor to write down the sex of the baby on a piece of paper. The parents don&amp;amp;#8217;t look at this, instead, they take the paper to a bakery (or a baker friend) and ask them to whip up either a pink (for a girl) or blue (for a boy) cake, concealed by icing. When the cake is ready, the parents invite over loved ones and slice into the cake (in front of everyone) to reveal the baby&amp;amp;#8217;s sex. I&amp;amp;#8217;ve never been to one, but I think it sounds kind of fun. However, a number of people disagree. Jezebel reports that when the AP ran a story about these gender reveal parties, many were not feeling the idea, calling these parties &amp;amp;#8220;self-absorbed&amp;amp;#8221; or &amp;amp;#8220;selfish.&amp;amp;#8221; These naysayers argue that they&amp;amp;#8217;re already expected to attend baby showers. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t think (at least I hope!) that these parents host sex parties for attention, I&amp;amp;#8217;d like to believe that these events are organized so that they can share the special moment with their nearest and dearest. P.S. Here&amp;#x27;s a video from an actual reveal party. It&amp;amp;#8217;s pretty adorable. What do you guys think? Are sex-reveal parties a do or a don&amp;amp;#8217;t? Have you ever been to one of these sex parties? Or maybe you&amp;amp;#8217;ve had one yourself? Do you think they sound sweet or selfish? And will you find out your baby&amp;amp;#8217;s sex? One of my friends is due in November and she&amp;#x27;s not going to find out until the the wee one is born! Hey baby, hey baby, hey! * Getting an epidural?
