About 25 years ago I was at a 4th of July party. There were a ton of people there including my GF (now wife) and a bunch of friends from all over the place. The year before, a few of us had ended up playing a strip game in the backyard late night after almost everyone had left, and it was a running joke at this year’s party. All day long people would ask when the strip games were going to start and although nobody seemed to be taking it seriously, it was fun hearing everyone talk about it, and made me think we might be able to engineer a repeat.

I was standing in the garage smoking a doobie with 2 girls and a friend of mine, and of course the topic came up (I probably was the one who brought it up) and there was general agreement that it didn’t feel like it was going to happen this year. One of the girls said that she couldn’t imagine getting naked in the backyard with a lot of people around, so I joked that there wasn’t very many people in the garage so maybe we should do that instead.

Without saying a word, one of the girls took off her t shirt, removed her bra, and then pushed her shorts and underwear down in a single motion and stood there naked. The other girl laughed and then did the same thing. The two girls were now standing naked in front of us and said “well?” - and my friend and I quickly took off our clothes too.

We continued passing the joint around, making no attempt to hide the fact that everyone was checking each other out, but not otherwise commenting on the fact that we were all naked while a party was going on outside and we could clearly hear people talking on the other side of the garage door.

The door connecting the garage to the house opened and a guy I didn’t know walked in having smelled the pot smoke and hoping to join the party. He stopped in his tracks when he saw we were all naked, but nobody covered up or tried to get dressed so he walked over and stood with us. He made a joke about my friend’s “mushroom cap” and said it was kind of chilly to be getting your dick out. One of the girls said, “get naked or get out if you’re going to be an asshole” so the guy took a last hit off the roach and turned around and left.

With the joint finished, we all just kind of shrugged and put our clothes back on and went back to the party. The guy told a few people at the party that there were naked people smoking pot in the garage, and when I ran into my GF a few minutes later she arched her eyebrows at me and whispered, “were you one of the naked people in the garage?”

I said yes and told her who the others were which earned me a bit of a look since the girls were a few years younger and were close friends of her youngest sister. We had been together for around 5 years at this point so she knew that I was always trying to get strip games started, but also knew I wasn’t going to cheat on her with her sister’s friends. She asked if it was now a tradition that I had to get naked every 4th of July, and I just laughed and said I hope so.

I tried to get some games that could lead to stripping started later on that night, but it wasn’t meant to be. Once again, when I was trying to make it happen, it didn’t, but the garage had been totally out of the blue.

BTW, One of the girls came out of the closet a few years later, and when I heard that she was a lesbian I was one of the few people who wasn’t surprised. My wife asked me why I wasn’t surprised and I said that when we had gotten naked in the garage at the party, I had noticed her checking out the other girl far more than she had looked at the naked guys.
