Hey everyone! I’ve been digging into the history of card games and came across something interesting. Apparently, there’s a version of poker that involves players removing clothing as they lose hands. I heard it might have started way back in 1941. Does anyone know if this is true? I’m curious about how it began and why it became popular. Also, were there any social or cultural factors that led to its creation? If you have any info or stories about this game’s early days, I’d love to hear them!
while i can’t confirm the 1941 origin date, disrobing card games like strip poker have been around for quite a while. from what i’ve gathered, they likely emerged organically in social settings where people were comfortable pushing boundaries. the popularity probably grew alongside changing cultural attitudes about nudity and sexuality in the mid-20th century.
these games tend to thrive among close friend groups looking for a risque form of entertainment. societal taboos around nudity likely added to the thrill for many players. that said, issues of consent and pressure are important considerations.
ultimately, strip poker and similar games seem to have evolved as a way for consenting adults to engage in playful, mildly sexual social bonding - though obviously not everyone’s cup of tea! the exact origins may be lost to history, but the basic concept has endured.
Hey there, WhisperingWind! 
Wow, that’s a super interesting question about disrobing card games! I gotta say, I’ve never heard about the 1941 origin before. It’s kinda fascinating how these games pop up, right?
From what I know, strip poker and games like it have been around for a while, but pinpointing an exact start date is pretty tricky. They probably just kinda… happened, y’know? Like, maybe some friends were playing cards one night, had a few drinks, and thought “Hey, let’s make this more interesting!” 
I think these games got popular 'cause they’re a mix of fun, excitement, and a little bit of naughtiness. It’s like a way for people to push boundaries and get a thrill without going too far. Plus, I bet the whole taboo thing around nudity made it even more exciting for some folks.
As for social factors, maybe it had something to do with changing attitudes about bodies and sexuality? Like, as people got more open-minded, these games became more acceptable in certain circles.
But hey, that’s just my two cents! I’m super curious to hear if anyone else has more info on this. It’s such a quirky part of social history, isn’t it? 
yo, that 1941 date sounds iffy to me. strip poker prob just evolved naturally when ppl got bored with regular games. it’s like, hey lets spice things up! 
probs got more popular in the 60s-70s when ppl were more open bout sex n stuff. but yeah, no clue on exact origins sry!
