Tips

A sultry striptease is a great surprise for your partner or an exciting way to reveal your body to someone for the first time. While alluring clothing and mood lighting are helpful, the key to being sexy is to stay confident and do what you enjoy! If you’re wondering just how to go about taking your clothes off in a sexy way, keep reading: we’ve got all the advice you need to perform the hottest striptease ever.

Things You Should Know

Light candles and dim the lights to create a sexy atmosphere. You can also set the mood with music—try something mid-tempo with a good beat.
Peel off one article of clothing at a time, starting with your top and then moving to your bottoms. Save the undies for last!
Sway your hips to the music and move your body as you remove your clothes. Go slow to create plenty of anticipation.

Method 1 of 3:

Removing Your Own Clothes (for Feminine People)

1
Put on loose, easy-to-remove clothes over sexy lingerie. Let’s be real: you can perform a great striptease in the spur of the moment wearing a ratty old T-shirt and granny bloomers, but if you want to make things a little more special, or if you’re nervous, plan your outfit ahead of time. Consider lacy or semi-transparent undergarments, stockings with garters, and a couple layers of sexy, easy-to-remove clothing over top, such as a trench coat or jacket over a dress or skirt.^{[1]

- If you’re feeling bold, you can wear the trench coat over nothing at all! Just remember that the more clothes you wear, the longer it will take you to strip—and the more anticipation you’ll be able to build.
2
Set the mood with music and lighting. Good music and lighting can make your striptease all the sexier. Opt for chill, mid-tempo background music and dim, romantic lighting—candles provide a great atmosphere!^{[2]

- In general, a strip tease will last for a few minutes to 10 minutes, so curate a playlist of 3 or more songs to be safe.
- You can also use furniture as props in your striptease: consider placing one chair for your partner to sit in, and one for yourself to use during the performance.
3
Seductively take off your coat or jacket. Stand directly in front of your partner while you remove your top layer. Maintain eye contact as you deliberately undo the buttons or zipper one by one.
- If you have long hair, shake your head and let your hair flow out as you strip.^{[3]

4
Walk around playfully for a couple minutes. Don't be in a rush to get naked; the "tease" part of a striptease will get your partner excited.^{[4]
X
Research source} Tell your partner to stay seated on the chair, and walk around the chair showing off your body from the front, back, and sides. Tug at the straps on your dress or bra, or the buttons on your shirt, as though you are about to take them off any second.
- If you're wearing a low-cut shirt, bend forward over your partner briefly.
- Sit on a chair and slowly part your legs while giving your partner a sexy smile.
- Grab and stroke yourself around your breasts, crotch, or any body part your partner finds sexy.
5
Slowly remove your next layer. Pose daintily with your legs together and your weight on one leg, or go for a power stance and stand with your legs spread apart. Just keep your eyes on your partner the whole time to drive them wild.^{[5]

- If you’re pulling a top over your head, cross your arms over your chest as you lift your hands up over your head.
- Button-up shirts are perfect for stripping, since you can turn each button into its own mini-performance. Remove the buttons slowly, one by one, as you continue to move around and pose. Once all the buttons are undone, slip the shirt down low over your shoulders, turn your back to your partner, and let the shirt fall to the floor.
6
Remove your skirt or pants. Skirts are generally better for beginners, since they’re a bit easier to remove smoothly, but wear whatever makes you comfortable. Carefully pull the pants or skirt down while sticking your butt out at your partner.
- A zippered skirt is great for beginners, since you can remove it easily and unexpectedly while striking almost any pose. A short, clingy skirt is another good option, and can be pulled up to reveal your butt before shimmying it off.
- If you’re wearing jeans, kneel, then push your jeans down to your knees while you stick your butt out at your partner. Sit back on your butt or your hip to pull the jeans off the rest of the way.
- It can be helpful to practice removing your jeans beforehand, especially if they’re tight!^{[6]

Take off your negligee. If you’re wearing a negligee, now’s the time to slowly strip it off. Keep teasing your partner between items of clothing, or ask "Are you ready for more?" a few times before giving in. Lower the straps of your negligee or similar loose item of clothing over your shoulders and let it fall, or shimmy it down to the floor.
8
Play with your stockings. You might want to leave your stockings on, especially with a sexy garter belt. On the other hand, a simple pair of nylon stockings can be a great prop. Put your leg up on a chair and roll the stockings off slowly, then snap them away slingshot style, or pretend to tie your wrists together. These are great visuals and good methods for adding a bit of cheeky humor to the mood.
- If you can walk around and pose gracefully with heels, you could leave them on as well as the stockings. If you’re worried about tripping, it might be best to remove the shoes!
- Try wearing a pair of stockings one size too large, with a garter belt to keep them on. This gives you more freedom of movement during your striptease.^{[7]

9
Remove your bra. Tug at the straps of your bra throughout the striptease, to get your partner excited. When you're finally ready to remove it, turn your back to your partner, and unhook the bra. Let it drop to your floor, then turn around to reveal your chest.
10
Take off your panties. If you have an opportunity to prepare in advance, pick a sexy pair or lacy panties or a thong, but don't pick something so tight that it leaves marks.^{[8]

- If you're wearing a sexy garter belt, wear your panties over it, so you can keep your garter belt on.

Method 2 of 3:

Removing Your Own Clothes (for Masculine People)

1
Set the mood with lighting and music. If you enjoy more serious seduction, select a dimly lit room, or use candles and lamps instead of overhead lighting. If you want something more fun and lighthearted, keep things more brightly lit and put on some music with a beat.^{[9]

- You can strip from an ordinary outfit, but if you want something more unique, try finding props or costumes that fit a certain theme, such as cowboy or policeman.
2
Dance, if you're comfortable. If you know how to dance sexily, you can show your sexual partner some moves between items of clothing, or even while you're removing them. If you aren't a dance floor god, however, stick with the occasional hip sway, and turn occasionally to give your partner a view from a different angle.^{[10]

3
Pull off your shoes and socks. Shoes and socks don't tend toward the sexy side, so get rid of these before you get into the swing of things. Toss these aside, somewhere out of the way.
4
Yank off your tie. If you're wearing a tie, untie it and toss it away, or at your partner, quickly and aggressively. While you can go for the slow, sensuous striptease if you're comfortable with it, most people may prefer a more energetic, aggressive style.^{[11]

5
Grab your shirt by the collar and yank it over your head. Pull the shirt over your head quickly, then yank it off your arms and throw it to the side or at your partner. Alternatively, you can grab the shirt by the lower hem instead of the collar, then use the same motion.
- If you're wearing a button-up shirt, unbutton it from top to bottom while keeping eye contact with your partner, but leave it on until after you've removed your trousers, to give your partner something else to look forward to.
6
Take off your pants. Pull off your belt, then step out of your pants one leg at a time. Take it slowly to avoid getting your foot caught and reducing the sexiness considerably. Pants are notoriously the most challenging and therefore least sexy item of clothing to remove, but don’t stress if you stumble or have trouble! Not taking yourself too seriously will, ironically, make your striptease all the more appealing.^{[12]

- Odds are, unless you’re a trained stripper, you’re not going to possess the grace of Channing Tatum in Magic Mike, so embrace it and have fun! ^{[13]

7
Let your partner take off your underwear. At this point, invite your partner to get the next stage started by removing your underwear, along with your button up shirt if that's still half-on. You may have to remove tighter underpants yourself.
- You could also "go commando," with no underpants at all, to surprise your partner. Just don’t get too graphic with your striptease: there’s a line between “sensual” and “crude.”^{[14]

Method 3

Method 3 of 3:

Removing Another Person's Clothing

1
Ask permission if you're with a new sexual partner. If you've not yet had sex with the other person, don't make any assumptions. (Even if you have had sex, don’t make assumptions!) If a first-time partner is interested in having sex tonight, they'll be more comfortable and likely to do so if they can set the pace their clothes are removed.
- If pausing to ask a question every few minutes feels too awkward, try holding a button, zipper, or bra strap, then looking at your partner with a raised eyebrow and questioning look instead.
- You could also let your partner know ahead of time that they can call it quits or take a break at any point, or set up a safe word they can use if they need to stop or slow things down.
2
Rip off their belt. Grab both ends of the belt (if they’re wearing one), then unbuckle it and tug it off in one motion. It's fine if you take a couple tugs to get this right. Try this while reaching from behind, if you're feeling extra skilled.
3
Remove their top. Whether they're wearing a T-shirt, button-down top, or a dress, carefully pull it off of them, and go slowly. Nothing kills the mood like your partner punching you in the face because they yanked your shirt too hard! Proceed slowly and sensuously. ^{[15]

- If they're wearing a T-shirt, trap their arms in it. Pull up the lower hem of the T-shirt until the shirt is pulled partly over your partner's arms, but the collar is still around the neck. Hold your partner playfully in this position while you kiss or nibble their skin, before tugging it off the rest of the way.
- Take some time between each item of clothing to kiss your partner's newly exposed skin, or run your hands along their body.
4
Pull off trousers sneakily. Distract your partner by making out, while you unbutton or unzip their pants and pull them down. Use your foot to pull them the rest of the way. If you're distracting enough, they may not notice what you're doing until the trousers fall to their feet.
5
Remove clothing with your teeth if you're up for it. This often takes a few attempts, so it's best attempted when you're feeling confident, or when you and your partner are in a silly mood. With enough effort, even buttoned shirts can come off, but be careful not to hurt your teeth on metal zippers!
6
Remove your partner's underwear. This includes their bra, if they're wearing one. Not to beat a dead horse, but don't rush through it! It's called a striptease for a reason.^{[16]

- Don't struggle with a bra for more than a few seconds. If you haven't figured out how to remove the bra after a few seconds, just stop and let your partner do it.
