11 Simple Ways to Master the Art of Strip Tease

Unless you're a professional burlesque dancer, the art of seduction is a pretty tricky one to master. Who among us hasn't felt like a fumbling idiot while trying to "sexily" remove their knickers? It's OK, we're all as awkward and on edge as each other.

But, if you're wanting to overcome this and give someone the strip tease of their goddam lives, here's some advice from people who give and receive sexy dances.

1.Enjoy yourself

"Just make sure you are feeling confident, assuming you already have a partner, you KNOW this person wants you, so there's not much more too it. Slow down, torture them with forcing them to be patient. And, enjoy yourself. Or just make them laugh while you undress, basically the same thing right?" [via]

2.Practice

"Practice beforehand. Practice in front of a mirror, if possible." [via]

3.Master the moves

"Have them sit in a chair and put on some music. Sit in their lap, facing away, and grind your butt on them. Stand up and slowly take your top off. Sit facing them and grind on them. Stand up, turn around, bend over and take your skirt off. Sit and grind your butt on them again, etc. If you want you can have 'rules', like you're allowed to touch them, but they're not allowed to touch you. Mostly move slowly and alternate taking off pieces of clothing with grinding. It doesn't have to be an elaborate dance if you're not into dancing." [via]

4.Do what's right for you

"Fit the dance to you. There are definitely 'pretty' dances and 'sexy' dances. They can have different emphasis. If you would feel more comfortable making sexy eyes at your partner over your shoulder while you [take off your] bra to a slow song than aggressively twerking right up in their face to dance music, then go ahead and do that. Focus on the type of attractiveness that you feel you are for your first try, and then if you like it you could always expand your repertoire once you've got a positive experience under your belt."

5.Don't worry about it too much

"Honestly, you don't need to buy anything, but choose something with layers. You can always wear something nice underneath if you want something to please the eye. Part of a strip tease is the stripping, and stripping requires layers that can be taken off in a sexy manner. But don't worry about it too much. When my girlfriend decided to try giving me a strip tease, she wore one of my suits with a very badly and loosely tied necktie. Didn't matter, we had a blast and it was cute in its own way." [via]

6.It doesn't matter if you look silly

"Having been both on the receiving and the giving end, I can only say: You can and will look very stupid indeed at least in parts - nobody has ever taken their socks off in a completely sexy manner. But it doesn't matter. It's part and parcel of the whole thing. Don't take it too dead seriously, let both of you be a bit tipsy, and you'll be fine. Treat it as something sexy and fun and potentially hilarious, rather than a life or death situation. Owning that you may be half sexy, half ridiculous is what will make it more fun for both of you." [via]

7.Be willing to laugh at yourself

"I love it when people can laugh at themselves without getting their feelings hurt. It's one of the things I look for most in my partners." [via]

---

8.It's all about confidence

"The biggest thing is how you carry yourself. What will make it the most hot it can be is if you really look like you want them to see you. It's all about confidence. Also, this is just my opinion, but getting super close without letting them touch you would probably drive them crazy. Take it slow, and just remember, confidence, confidence, confidence." [via]

9.Forget your perceived "flaws"

"Most people don't think, 'Hell yeah, I look good naked!' We get too absorbed in our perceived flaws. Get those thoughts out of your head. If you're naked, we're happy. If you act confident, it's sexy as hell." [via]

---

10.Use what you've got

"If part of your outfit is a tie, take it off and use it to tie their hands behind them. Not like full bondage, just so they can't touch you but you can touch them."

If you do want to go "full bondage" though, here are some of our fave accessories:

11.Flow into sex seamlessly

"The transition to sex should be pretty fluid. Just straddle them, and initiate make-out mode. They'll probably pick you up, and throw you on the bed." [via]
