It has been my experience for as long as I can remember that girls will do things in the context of a bet or a game that they would never do for any other reason. Over the years I have managed to play many different "strip" or "dare" games with neighborhood friends, girl-friends, their friends, my wife, our friends, and three of my sister-in-laws, frequently resulting in significant female nudity.
I'm not sure of the psychology, but it seems to be about choice. The choice to play a game is non-threatening (even if it is strip poker) because you can tell yourself that you are going to win, or only lose a little. Then when you have to pay up, it is out of your hands and no longer a choice. Not sure, but after lots of experiences talking people into playing games that leave them naked, it is my best theory.
My advice for how to get a game going that will end up with some/all being naked is as follows.
1. Make sure you have enough booze. Assuming everybody is of legal age, the drinks should be flowing. But make sure you have enough, before you go to the next step. Nothing kills an evening like somebody having to make a beer run in the middle of a game. If one person starts getting dressed, others will as well. Its crazy how fast the mood can be broken.
2. Test the group dynamic. Gently work in sexy topics to see how the group responds. Don't take anything for granted, the prude who cock-blocked your strip poker suggestion six months ago could be crazy horny tonight. Also work in small bets on random things, but make sure you lose the bets. This sets up the girls to believe they are on a lucky streak and will win all bets that night. Get games going early, cards, dice, drinking games. You should play a bunch of different games with no strip factor, so that by the time you suggest strip poker, its just one of many games you played. If the group isn't responding to the subtle suggestions, tread lightly. this may be the setup for next time you get together.
3. Don't push nudity. If someone wants to stop at underwear, or hold a pillow in front of them, let them! The goal is to start playing and then keep playing. The longer you play the more chance you have to see some new tits, don't be in a hurry. If someone balks at getting naked, give them a pass, call it a "mulligan" Then try to have a guy lose the next hand so the attention focuses on someone else. Once again, if anyone starts to get re-dressed the whole thing will likely fall apart very quickly.
4. Be generous, not strict with rules. Don't make rules designed to get people naked too early. If the game feels unfair or a rule suddenly changes in a way that disadvantages a female you will lose the momentum. If anything, a rule change should give a female "one more chance" before losing their bra. Then when it comes time (and it will) they know they have already had their pass, and will be ready to lose that bra.
5. Female wingman. It helps a lot if you have a female wingman, as long as the wingman is not seen as the town sl*t. In fact, if you have a female wingman who is willing to at least get topless, you can pretty much guarantee a game that ends up with a lot of naked people.
6. Male wingman. All guys will be wingmen on some level once they realize you are trying to get girls naked. Sometimes it is great to have a guy wingman in on your plans early because he know how to turn one of the females (his wife/GF) into a female wingman. At a minimum a guy wingman is needed to so that you don't look like the lone pervert in the room. Once you suggest that the next game include a strip or dare variant, if somebody else doesn't support it within 30 seconds it will die quickly. Men can also be wingmen even if they don't know of your plans in advance as I demonstrate in my story "Hot Tub Wager"
Anyway, my goal for this thread is to tell some true stories of my successes in getting people naked, maybe prompt some of your stories, and see if anyone has any additional thoughts on how to engineer a great evening where people get naked.
