27 Ways to Get Your Guy to Strip

With the 2015 release of Magic Mike XXL, we're all about that male stripper life. We're all about those male strippers in our lives, specifically. On our bodies, more specifically. Get the picture, sister?

You may not have the time, cash, or bravery to call in a professional. But guess what you do have?! Your boyfriend! (If not boyfriend, then f*ck buddy, fling, or super, super, superclose guy friend.) That's right, you've got your very own guy at home for stripping purposes. We mean that in the least degrading way possible — obviously he's good for more than his abs and Matt Bomer-esque dance moves. But it can't hurt to revel in 'em a little from time to time, can it? Here's how to get him to go all Magic Mike on you.
