Plot Devices to Get Boys Naked

Just some thoughts from underneath the shade tree.

Thanks. I appreciate your support and I'm not trying to throw a pity party for myself. I guess I just forget to check view count most of the time and tend to focus on thanks and comments. That's what I was focused on, in regard to the last chapter I posted of that story.

I particularly liked that series as I mentioned in an email to you.

Thanks, I appropriate you emailing me about it. Honestly surprised I haven't gotten more, since that's the only feedback channel on FNA. Maybe I've built up too much of a reputation as the ENF guy and not as many gave it a chance.

I have a question to authors and readers about their favorite plot devices for getting boys naked in front of girls.

Do you forcibly strip them, trick them, blackmail them or catch them in some other way?

Are there any plot devices that, for you, take too much suspension of disbelief to accept?

A critical plot device for me in an ENM scenario is the boy being severely outnumbered by the girls. Even in the case of a blackmail or coercion situation it severely stresses my suspension of disbelief for any boy to allow himself to be controlled or victimized by a single peer-age girl (rather than "recreating some of Chris Brown's greatest hits" and turning the tide, destroying pics, etc). The power and self-reliance advantage of a boy can be overcome with multiple girls though, especially in teenage stories where the power gap is a lot smaller than in adults.

Beyond that, boys work well with plot devices such as physical pantsing, pranks, revenge plots, and the unfairness situation of being desperate to see girls nude but instead been seen nude himself. ENM scenes also work exceptionally well with erection play and forced orgasms, much easier to believably do both with boys than with girls. They can easily be shamed for their reluctant arousal since they have zero ability to hide it when naked.

As for tropes that break my suspension of disbelief, one of the big ones is macho athlete guys going full-sub at the drop of a hat rather than putting up some type of a fight. Alpha guys throw tantrums and throw hands on a dime, so it hurts a story if one of those just gives up immediately at the first moment.

Another (in both ENM and ENF) is when parents or authority figures are portrayed as completely cartoonish in their efforts to strip/expose people. It's one thing when the authority knowingly humiliate the teen/employee/etc for punishment/titillation/living vicariously through his female peers getting to see it all, but far too many stories just have the parents/teachers/etc play stupid and even aggressive in their stupidity, often punishing someone for their reluctant nudity with...more nudity. Far too many authority figures are written as if they physically cannot fathom a teen's modesty or can't imagine a circumstance where a person could be naked in public without it being that person's sinful choice.

One of my favorite tropes is some type of required "institutionalized nudity," ie. boy sent to private school, discovers he has to swim naked with female instructor & girls taking unauthorized peeks during class. Or boy goes to doctor's office and ends up with Mom & sisters in the exam room, or the classic YMCA naked swimming stories my now-elderly Uncle has told me. Also, girls or Moms invading the Boys Lockerroom with no regard for teenage male modesty.

To me, if the story has some degree of plausibility that makes it even hotter, granting that these are fictional stories anyway. Like this "could happen maybe" in the real world.
