2 Strip Poker

How about a hand of cards, winner takes all—or should we say, winner takes off all?

Play to your lover’s ego and mention you’d like to play strip poker, but you’re sure you’ll be the one doing most of the undressing.

Rules & Tools

Set a sexy scene, take out a deck of playing cards, and review the rules (see box). Figure out ahead of time how the game will work: For poker, each time you lose a hand you have to take off an article of clothing. Assemble a big pile of coins and divide it into two sets, one for each of you.

How to play seven-card stud poker: Deal two cards facedown and one card faceup. Make a bet (e.g., fifty cents, one dollar, etc.), then deal three cards faceup and the final card facedown. Winning hands (highest to lowest) are as follows: royal flush, straight flush, flush, full house, three of a kind, two pair, one pair. One pair beats the highest card in the hand.

Playing the Game

Sweet and safe: The winner of each hand gets to tell the other player which article of clothing to take off. See whether you can continue this drawn-out foreplay until one (or both) of you is fully undressed, then let the winner decide how he or she wants to be serviced. Consider setting satisfaction rules, such as only using your hands or your mouth.

Hot and spicy: The winner of each hand gets to command the loser to take off an article of clothing and perform a service, such as “massage my feet,” “stroke my breasts,” or “suck on the tip of my penis.” Continue this drawn-out card play/foreplay until one of you is fully undressed. At this point, switch over to a fantasy game where your lover becomes a card shark and you’re a gambler who has run out of money (or vice versa). The card shark gets to decide how you will pay off your debt, whether that means sucking him off or performing other services to his satisfaction.

Up the Ante

• Invite friends over for a group game of strip poker. Set some ground rules beforehand (unless you don’t mind hosting a game of swap partners or swinging 101!).
