Alright so obligatory this didn't actually happen today and I'm posting from mobile. No idea if every post still starts with that it's been a minute since I posted on Reddit.
This happened when I was a young man of about 19-20. The distant past of the early 2010s. An important thing about me back then (and still now) is that I didn't really ever consider the consequences of my actions. If something sounded like it would be funny, as a rule, I would generally just do it and hope for the best.
I was attending university in Canada and there was a campus event where comedy magician Wes Barker was performing at the campus pub. As part of his set he mentioned that he had never lost a game of gay chicken. Given that I was comfortable with my sexuality and had also never lost a game of gay chicken (had kissed several of my guy friends to that effect) I told Wes that I also had never lost a game of gay chicken.
Wes asked if I wanted to come on stage and play with him and I agreed thinking that we're probably gonna get our faces super close to each other and then maybe kiss and I'd go back to my seat but good lord how wrong I was.
When I got on stage Wes announced that we were going to each take off clothing one piece at a time until one of us chickened out. I honestly have no self confidence but had come to far at this point so I agreed and started taking off clothes.
We got to the point where we were both standing on stage in front of a hundred or so people in only our boxers when Wes pulls out his trump card and removes his boxers to reveal a second pair of boxers.
Given the choice between showing my whole dick and balls to a hundred or so university students that I would have to see again and conceding I felt I had no choice but to admit defeat. Pictures were taken and posted on Facebook and my mom saw them and gave me a stern lecture.
Wes went on to win Fool Us with Penn and Teller and still tours to this day. I went on to become a woman and an accountant.
TL;DR: got in a stripping contest with a magician and lost. Brought shame upon my house.
