Prelude to Strip Poker
We are three couples, all married and as of the beginning of September the last of our kids are off to college or out in their own homes. We all met originally at playschool, then PTA, soccer, scouts and girl guides. Our kids have been in the same classes, some of the same sports groups and so on. We became close friends. For the last year we have been gathering at one house or another to play poker. No stakes, just for chips.
Today we are at Bart and Angie's place. Angie is laying out food, drink and grass (or gummies). I see brownies and expect they are marijuana brownies. Bart is setting up the poker table. The rest of us are chatting, nursing our first drinks and getting psyched up for the game.
Finally, we all sit down. Angie picks up the deck, I assume she will be the first dealer. "OK, we have been playing for chips for the last year, we are all pretty evenly skilled, though Ron has a bit of an edge. I think it is time for us to put some stakes on the table for this game."
Ruth speaks up. "Well, we are on a tight budget and really cannot afford even small stakes. We have 2 kids in university and the fees and accommodation are killing us."
"I wasn't thinking of money. I know you and Ben are tight and I know that Ron could drop several thousand on the table and never miss it."
I say "Oh, we would feel $1000, even for us that is a lot of money."
"You know what I mean, money has different values to each of us. I was thinking something that has a more even value to each of us. Now, I don't want you to make a knee jerk reaction and reject this out of hand. The question of yes or no is not on the table yet. I have a bunch of other questions that I want you to answer before we get there. Strip Poker."
Ron, pipes up. "No way."
I respond. "Ron, shut up, she is not looking for that answer yet, let her make her case, then you can say no way."
Ron is seated directly across from me as are each of the other spouses from each other. He crosses his arms and huffs. Ben and Bart are more relaxed, maybe because someone else has made the point. Ruth and I are just sipping our drinks and waiting for the arguments.
"OK, if you were single."
Ron pipes up. "We are not."
"If you were single, and still at University, and presented with an evenly mixed table and someone suggested strip poker, would you have objected?"
Ron again. "No, but that is not what we are today."
"OK, so I have a no from Ron, anyone who would have objected."
Silence.
"Now, how many of you are really waiting for your spouse to make a decision and you would follow along."
Ruth, Ben and Bart all sort of raise a hand.
"Brenda?"
"Me, I'm in, sounds like fun." Ron's jaw drops. "What? You would get naked with strangers?"
"Ron, they are not strangers, and I really want to see Ruth naked. I am fascinated by her breasts. I think you are too."
"Well yeah but."
Angie looks at him. "Were you objecting so Brenda would not have to?"
"Well yeah, I figured she would be horrified at the idea."
"And now that she is in?"
"I am still a bit concerned."
"OK, any questions at this point?"
Ron again. "What happens when everyone gets naked?"
"What do you think Ron."
"I don't know I've never played strip poker."
"Not even at University?"
"I was in an all-engineering class, 310 guys and one girl. Nobody was playing strip poker. Well, nobody in my social circle anyway."
I speak up. "Well Ron, when we are all naked, then we fuck. Don't respond, we have not gotten to the question yet."
Ron flops back and huffs again.
Angie continues. "OK the question of sex comes up. Of the people at this table, is there anyone of the opposite sex that you have not thought about having sex with. Be honest."
Silence.
"Ooh, I was half expecting a response to that one."
Ben speaks up. "Well thinking about it, and doing it are two totally different things."
"True, but I am just trying to think of the objections that someone might have."
Ron again. "I am just surprised that all of the women have thought about all of the men."
I inject. "And a lot more than the men in this room. I don't know about Ruth and Angie, but if I walk into a room and have a moment to ponder, I am looking at each of the men and wondering what it would be like to have sex with him."
Ron looks stunned. "You are telling me that you think about sex at least as often as a guy?"
All three of us women respond. "Yup/Yes/Ahu"
I am beginning to think that Ron has led a lot more sheltered life than I thought. Amazing what you can learn about your spouse after 21 years of marriage.
