The weird thing is that a plastic set of beads has a better chance of getting a woman to flash than a twenty dollar bill. Getting naked for something trivial is just a silly game. Getting naked for real money is serious.
I’m really modest, so I’m not sure what to make of my feelings on this. I didn’t expect the replies to be so one-sided! As far as a monetary offer, I’d be pretty weirded out if it were a casual friend. I’d probably stop hanging out with that guy. A close friend would be somewhat less weird, if he approached me the right way. I guess I wouldn’t be all that bothered by a good friend feeling like they’re close enough to me to admit to me that they would totally pay money to see me naked.
Now…I still wouldn’t do it, unless I were single and it were some outrageous amount of money. I’d be pretty stupid to turn down $25K or something, and that’s just because I couldn’t afford to turn it down. (If it’s a large sum of money, it feels more like a dare. Don’t know why, but it does.)
However, I’d be even less likely to strip for free. As in, no, never, I’d-even-wear-clothing-at-a-nude-beach not-gonna-happen. I’d feel even more exploited if I’m getting nothing in return.
This is a good point. The more I think about it, the more I think that beyond being offended by the offer, it would trigger a feeling of “that boy just ain’t right.” If you are so socially clueless as to seriously suggest this, what other creepy, weird-ass things might you consider perfectly okay?
For enough money, it could happen.
Seriously.
I wouldn’t be able to answer because I would’ve died laughing.
That’s probably true for a lot of people (it is for me), but would you still think of the offer-er as a friend?
Yeah, I think so. I mean, if the person is close enough to me that I think of him or her as a friend, it really wouldn’t matter if they wanted to pay to see me with no clothes on.
I guess at the very worst I might think they were a sucker to actually pay… I mean, who cares really if your friends see you naked?
I do, for what it’s worth. But I’m not big on the whole physical vulnerability thing :p.
I really don’t care if my friends see me naked (or people in general, to be honest), but like others have said above, the fact that a friend would be socially clueless enough to make a serious offer of money just to see me naked would make me leery of that person’s thought process.
Simply saying “I’d like to see you naked” would get at worst a neutral response from me, and would most likely get a “you first” if the asker were female. In the instances when the subject has come up, just asking me nicely has gotten people what they want.
Okay, I see where you’re coming from now. I guess that a lot of my friends are just honestly so odd and random that if one of them actually did offer to pay to see me naked I’d be thinking, “Oh, there he/ she goes again.”
And I’d probably take 'em up on it, because first, I like money; and second, it wouldn’t make me think they were any more borderline than I already know they are… and have been comfortable with for years. In a way I’m lucky to have friends I can trust that much. They’re a bunch of nutters, but harmless nutters! 
I see your point too, actually.
It’s funny, sometimes I think about nudity and vulnerability like that. Like if a bad guy broke into my place while I was naked or if I got locked out of my apartment and I was naked and had to go up to the apartment complex office and get somebody to let me back in. I mean, yes, it would suck, but I’d have to do it.
I mean, it doesn’t make me happy to think about this stuff, but it wouldn’t be the end of the world… I mean, I have really played these scenarios out in my head and am honestly analyzing why nakedness does indeed make us feel immediately vulnerable… even, I bet, if we were the ones holding the handgun or the baseball bat and the bad guy was unarmed!
Anyhow, I’m trying to teach myself to recognize that at least for me, not having any clothes on doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m de facto NOT the one with the power. Of course that’s in theory, but I’m trying!
This whole thing is very, very creepy, fusoya. I’ll reserve my stronger words about this practice, but suffice it to say that, if I were you, I would stop immediately for the sake of my personal relationships.
The first time I ever offered something material (a bite of a burrito) in exchange for a peek under the clothes, I was kidding and she took me seriously. Being pretty dumb and horny at the time, I frankly got a little excited when she offered to go through with it for reals. Now I wish she hadn’t taken it seriously. My relationship to her hasn’t been the same since, and if I had known how broke she was at the time I would’ve just given her the burrito and found something else to eat. I haven’t made an offer of that kind since, seriously or otherwise. (It didn’t help that motherhood had been unkind to her chestal region. :o )
But dude, doing it repeatedly and being serious about it, well, that is creepy no matter how you slice it. I’m having a hard time coming up with a situation where that wouldn’t be incredibly creepy. And that thing about offering a friend money to spend a couple nights at your house naked is really, really, really creepy. Like serial-killer creepy. And I say that as a man.
That sounds odd to me. It’s really OK even if they explicitly say that the reason they want to play strip poker is to see you naked? I guess we may see these things differently, but if someone invited me to play strip poker and specifically included the words “I want to see you naked”, I would assume they wanted to have sex with me, and respond accordingly.
I read what you read but only with a more playful tone. I believe she was speaking about making the decision to play as something rather “in the moment” and not the deliberately executed plans of a skeevey guy friend to see her no-no’s.
Yeah, that’s what I meant. I wasn’t being deadly serious with that example.
That’s not odd at all, that’s pretty much every guy.
Where the OP deviates from the average guy is in the OP.
