"free Solo" Strip Superbowl Wager

My "Free Solo" Strip Superbowl Wager

Forward:

I recently read a summary of the movie *Free Solo*, which follows Alex Honnold's climb of El Capitan without ropes or any safety equipment. In my view, the summary missed the main point: his addiction to risk. Climbing a small wall with pads wouldn't satisfy this craving. For Honnold, the true challenge lies in climbing the 3000-foot vertical rock facing, relying solely on his strength, skills and abilities to avoid certain death. The thrill comes from making a big wager and emerging victorious. Even being victorious, he won nothing except the thrill of victory.

I get Alex to an extent, for I too have an addiction to risk, although I am too conservative to risk my life or large sums of money. Instead, I get a thrill of risking something else of great value, my clothing, all of it. I really don't want to be caught naked by others (for the most part), however the risk of that happening must absolutely be there. Like Alex, my naked humiliation is only protected by my skill and ability to successfully navigate a particular challenge. Should I fail, my consequences must be as harsh and unforgiving as it was for Alex Honold. In that scenario, my modesty and dignity must be shattered as I face naked humiliation while giving away all my secrets without getting anything in return.

Background:

To set the stage, I've had a fascination with risk and nudity since I was a pre-teen, however I didn't start exploring it until I was in middle and high school. In college, my exploration deepened. That's where my college friend Corinne, caught me in one of my "naked adventures". I tried to explain my situation away; however, she saw right through me since she too had a similar addiction to risk and nudity. We bonded over our shared addiction, finding creative ways to explore our addiction. Through this, I realized that her conviction was not as deep as mine.

One of the many ways we explored our addiction was to invent a striping game that was played in conjunction with a football game, either college or pro it didn't matter. We didn't do this every week there was a game, really over the four years we were in college, we played maybe eight times or so.

The times we did play were predicated on the game being a big, high interest game where the teams were evenly matched and Corinne and I choosing opposing teams. Here is where our skill and ability come in. Our state of dress is solely dependent on our ability to analyze the game, making accurate risk assessments and correctly predicting the winner.

Our newly invented game:

To start, we would select the number of clothing items that we would start the game with. Next, we would decide on the length and requirements of the post-game phase. This was the length of time, that women would have to wait, and/or dare that loser would have to perform before being reunited with lost clothing.

Events happening in the game would determine when Strip Points were assessed. Once a strip point was assessed, the loser of that strip point had sixty seconds to stand up and strip off the appropriate number of clothing items. The strip location had to be in full view of any audience present, and there is no running, hiding or covering up. Failure to meet these requirements would result in a strip penalty point worth one clothing item.

Special rule: Once a clothing item has been taken off, it may not be put back on until the post-game phase is over.

Strip points are scored in the following ways:

Quarter Strip Points -- Losing the quarter (I.e. score the least points in that quarter) is worth one strip point. If a quarter resulted in a tie, winning the next quarter would be worth two strip points. If that quarter also resulted in a tie, winning the following quarter would be worth three strip points etc. If needed, the final score would break any remaining quarter ties. In the end, there will be four "Quarter" strip points assessed. Overtime quarters are also worth one "Quarter" strip point

Game Strip Points - Two "Game" strip points assessed for losing the game, regardless of how the quarters went.

Penalty Strip Points -- One strip point will be assessed for flagrant rule violations. This rarely ever happens. Minor violations can add time to the post-game phase.

Point Spread Strip Points -- For every seven points your team is behind by, you are assessed a strip point. One caveat is that if your team is scored on and falls behind by a new multiple of seven, you have the next drive to close the gap. If the next drive fails to close the gap, you are assessed a "Point Spread" strip point. If later in the game your team reduces the gap by a new multiple of seven, you are awarded a token that can be used to offset a future "Point Spread" strip points. Quarter, Game and Penalty strip points cannot be offset by tokens. Under no circumstances can you put any clothing back on once it has been removed.

Here are a few examples:

Game 1 - Two teams are scoreless until the last second. As of now, no strip points have been assessed and both women are fully dressed. In the final play one team scores a touchdown and extra point as time runs out. The loser will be assessed seven strip points all at once, The seven strip points are as follows: Four "Quarter" strip points, Two "Game" strip points and One "Point spread" strip point since there is a point spread of seven points. If the final play was a field goal instead of a touchdown, or an extra point was missed, then only six strip points would have been assessed since the point spread didn't reach a new multiple of seven.

Game 2 - One team scores one touchdown and extra point in the first quarter, and two touchdowns and extra points in the second quarter, at halftime the score would be 21-0. The woman who was behind would have lost two "Quarter" strip points and three "Point Spread" strip points for a total of five strip points and be forced to remove five articles of clothing at the half. If one of the extra points failed, then the score would be 20-0 and only two "Point Spread" strip points would be assessed. As the game continues, the third quarter is scoreless so no strip points would be assessed at this time. In the fourth quarter, the team that was scoreless erupted for four touchdowns with four extra points and held the other team scoreless in the fourth quarter yielding a 28-21 final score. In this case the woman that was ahead at half time would be assessed five strip points. Two "Quarter" strip points, two "Game" strip points and one "Point Spread" strip points. In the end, both women would have removed five items of clothing during the game. The woman who came from behind to win would still be without the five clothing items she stripped off; however, she would be holding three tokens since she closed a 21 point spread. Winners can use tokens heading into the post-game phase.

Depending on how many clothing items the two women agreed to start with, it could lead to some interesting results. Another twist to our game is that after the football game ends, any woman holding tokens (providing she won the football game) has the option of using those tokens to reclaim clothing and/or require the loser to remove yet more clothing, one clothing item per token. Trading tokens for clothing takes place after the football game has ended and before the post-game phase starts. The women will spend the post-game phase with these new levels of clothing. Once the post-game phase is over, all clothing is returned and normal life resumes.

In our Game 2 example, both women are down five clothing items as the football game ended, with the winning woman holding three tokens. The winning woman with the three tokens may use her tokens to reclaim clothing and/or force the loser to remove additional clothing. One token per clothing item reclaimed or removed. Depending on the number of clothing items the women started with, the losing woman could go from five clothing items lost to eight, even if it means she has to strip completely naked.

One last twist (I promise). If a woman has lost a strip point but is out of clothing, she must draw a dare card which must be performed naked immediately after the post-game phase ends and the winning woman is redressed. Dare cards are agreed on before the game starts.

Other twists can be added as players feel comfortable. Note that even the loser may not end up naked or topless. It all depends on how the game goes and how many clothing items the women started with.

If the game has a clear favorite, the women can agree to start with a different number of clothing items, much like giving points in a cash wager.

Brief history of our game:

The idea of this wager was hatched after reading about various football wagers. These wagers included head shaves, streaking, getting kicked in the balls, men dressing like a woman in public etc. While these are fun, it doesn't really address our addiction to risk.

One night Corinne and I started to think of how to incorporate our addiction with a football game. We batted around several ideas using stats from real games to test our format. After several weeks of brainstorming, we arrived at the main framework described above. We tried our new game on a few random football games. Since we were just starting and it was the two of us, we started with 10 clothing items. After a few games, we made some tweaks and our game was created.

With the main framework finalized, we decided to throw a watch party for the inaugural kickoff for our new game featuring two rival teams in the SEC. We invited several of our girlfriends over to watch, however we didn't tell them what was going on. As the game progressed and clothing items started to come off a few of the girls got suspicious. It became obvious at the end of the game when Corinne stripped off three items, one for the quarter and two for the game, leaving her with bare feet and a missing blouse.

All of the girls were laughing hysterically and pressed us for details. We made them promise to keep the details of our strip game between us and we laid out the details of our game. It was the topic of conversation within our group, and soon the news extended beyond our group. We never announced ahead of time if the strip game was on, but our football watch parties were well attended just in case.

During college, we played our strip game about eight times, in conjunction with football games. Both men and women from our friend group would attend these watch parties. Towards the end we risked playing with only eight clothing items. Most games ended with the critical clothing still in tack, however we each were stripped down to bra and panties in two different games, and once Corinne lost her bra and spent the post-game phase in just s thong. She asked to be let out of the wager, but I made her comply with the terms and remove her bra, baring her breasts. She never forgot that one. I really feel that in order for the excitement to be real, the risk and penalty must also be real, otherwise it cheapens the bet and subsequent excitement.

Post Graduation:

Eventually, we all graduated and went in different directions. Most of us kept in touch, even if it was once every few years. Corinne returned to Philadelphia and I to Los Angeles, but we remained close visiting each other at least twice per year, if not more.

Corinne and I were athletes through college, and we continue to stay in great shape. She is 5' 8" and a trim 125 lbs. with firm B cup breasts. I am slightly taller at 5' 10" and 135 lbs. with firm and rounded C cup breasts.

During our visits, I could tell that Corinne was still smarting from having to go topless at one of our strip football games in front of our mixed gendered friends' group. Every time she brought it up; I just laughed and teased her that she should have picked better or opted to start with more clothing. Then I remind her that the risk of nudity is what makes the game so much fun. You never really know what is going to happen. Fortunes can turn on a dime. She agreed.

What is fun about this game is that you can play solo. You pick a team and go from there. This can be done alone or in front of an audience depending on how much risk you want.

That understanding brings us to my story:

Back in 2022 The Eagles and the Chiefs played in Superbowl LVII. Corinne was boasting about the Eagles, and I had since taken a liking to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. We reminisced about our past strip football wagers, and she teased me about wanting to play our strip game in conjunction with the Superbowl. I laughed and said we should, are you coming to LA soon? We could set up a watch party with any of our friends who could come I offered. How many clothing items should we start with I teased.

In the end the watch party never materialized as she stayed in Philadelphia and I in LA. That didn't stop us from playing the game mentally in our heads. After the game I called Corinne to tease her that she would have lost. But since the game was so close, and we probably would have started out with our usual eight clothing items, I reminded her that she would have lost her blouse leaving her to show off her bra and jeans. Perhaps we should have started with six clothing items I teased, then you could have reprised your topless role as I laughed. Corinne said, "Very funny".

We caught up on other things talking for about 10 more minutes before hanging up.

The months went by. In the early fall of 2024, I went out to Philadelphia to visit Corinne. During the trip she brought up the Eagles again. I told her that the Eagles were 2 and 2 and would be lucky to make the playoffs. Put your money on the Chiefs I told her. She went quiet for a while before I changed the subject. I should have seen this as a sign.

Later during the fall, the Eagles went on a ten-game win streak. About a week before Christmas, I got a call from Corinne telling me that I should expect a package as she wished me a Merry Christmas. Eventually the conversation went back to the Eagles. You were wrong about the Eagles; they will make the playoffs. Corinne said. I had nothing to say but to agree with her and congratulate her on the great season the Eagles were having. The Chiefs are looking Decent too she said and I thanked her. This is when it dropped.

Corinne said that if both the Eagles and Chiefs make it to the Superbowl this year, I will fly out to Los Angeles and challenge you to play our strip game in conjunction with the game. This time we will start with only six clothing items. I stood there stunned as I could feel the resolve in her voice.

Corinne broke the silence by asking "Do you accept my challenge at six clothing items". I hesitated for a second thinking through our past. I knew Corinne never got over having to be topless in front of many of our friends. I asked her if she was ok with the possibility of having to strip completely naked in front of a crowd. Six is a low number, we usually start with eight I reminded her. She responded by agreeing that six is a low number and then asked me if I was ok with the possibility of having to strip completely naked in front of a crowd. After a few seconds of silence, I agreed to her challenge of playing our strip football game starting with only six items. We both let out a nervous laugh. Good, this will be fun she said. Before hanging up, we agreed to think of what the post-game phase would look like and if we wanted to throw in any other zingers.

The weeks passed as both teams continued their march to the playoffs. Each week we would call each other as the excitement continued to build as we swapped ideas about a possible strip game ideas. This is turning out to be the riskiest version of this game we have ever played, I said as Corinne let out a playful laugh. "It is" she agreed. Tell me I asked, "how often do you masturbate thinking about a possible match up". Probably about as often as you do. We both laughed.

As the last of the NFC and AFC Championship games were played, it was clear that our strip football bet was on. Superbowl LIX would feature a rematch of two years ago. Minutes later, I got a call from Corinne informing me that she had just bought her ticket to LA and asked if she could stay with me, of course she knew the answer, absolutely.

During the call, we worked out the details of our wager. Six items of clothing to start was already agreed upon. I mentioned that even with six clothing items, a close game could mean we each lose three items, leaving us both modeling our bras and jeans. More probable was the loser would be in bra or panties or even topless with the winner being mostly dressed,

Corinne countered, "If you think it's going to be that close, let's add in a rule that we pose for a group photo as we enter the post-game phase, winner keeps the photo". Stunned at her words, I said "You're confident aren't you. If you really want to, then I will agree". Any other zingers, I asked. It's obvious that Corinne has already put quite a bit of thought into this as she replied "Yes. Whoever is ahead at halftime can call for a pizza at any time during the third quarter. Whoever is behind when the doorbell rings, will answer the door dressed as she is. Further she must stand frozen and exposed for as many seconds as she is behind points in the football game". "Wow, ok then" I said. "Anything else I said in a mocking tone" I asked. "There is one more thing, we both get Brazilian wax jobs the week before the game" Corinne added, "are you good with all of this? Corinne said. "Let's see if I can remember, 1) Group photo taken after the game, winner will keep the photo. 2) Score at halftime determines who will order the pizza and who answers the door dressed as they are. 3) We get a Brazilian wax job the week before the game. Did I get that right?" I asked. "Perfect" Corinne said. "Do you agree?". "I'm if you're in, but realize, this all applies to you too. This is more than we have ever done" I said. "I know, and I'm good with it all" Corinne said. "Deal", I said.

"Speaking of the post-game phase, how long will the post-game phase be" I asked. We discussed various ideas before agreeing that the post-game phase will last until the post-game wrap-up and analysis, player interviews etc. This is when an announcer says "The NFL thanks you for watching this presentation" before switching to a hot new show. Then we will add one minute for each point the winning team scored. After that time, we will switch to dares if any. The winner will re-dress, but the loser will have to complete her dares if any before getting dressed.

Where are we going to watch the game and play our game, I asked. Corinne said that I have already contacted Mark and Lexie who have agreed to host a watch party and our fun little game. "Wasn't Mark at our watch party in college where you went topless" I asked. "Yes, he was, and he is counting down the days" Corinne said. "How is Lexie feeling about our wager" I asked. Corinne said, "She has heard the stories of our time in college and feels like she missed out, she really wants to witness this for herself".

"Mark has a big house up in Palos Verdes, how many people do you think will be there" I asked. "I'm not sure, I'm leaving the invite list up to them. Knowing Mark, he will get the word out to the gang and who knows who else" Corinne said.

"Speaking of dares, what did you have in mind" I asked. One step ahead girlfriend. During the game we will each place our discarded clothing in a separate lockable bag. One for you and one for me. After the levels of clothing have been settled, the loser will select one of the two padlocks and lock her bag shut. For her first dare, she will be presented with two keys. The loser must select one of the keys and destroy it. Hopefully the remaining key will open the lock, otherwise she will leave the party and be driven home naked by the winner. A duplicate set of keys will be back at your house.
