Another Strategy Friday, 05-Dec-97 19:03:28

Here's a strategy that probably a lot of people know about, yet works wonderfully. At a party or other gathering, find a group of women that you would like to have trample you. Pick one of them and gradually work into the conversation that you need help "popping your back". Ask her to walk on it for you, and present the idea as if it is no big deal. If she says no, let it drop and gradually work your way to one of the others that you have your eye on. If she says yes (which is usually the case), find an empty room and lay down. The woman will usually be tentative at first, but tell her not to be cautious and that you can take it (in a joking voice). As she walks on you, let her go until she asks, "Am I doing this right"? Then say, "Well, my back is pretty tight tonight, you might want to bounce a bit". Often enough, however, she will start doing this on her own anyway.

When your back does not 'pop' (just as you knew it wouldn't, unbeknownst to her) say, "I was afraid of this. Sometimes it takes several people". Immediately point out some of the other women that you had in mind and ask if she would mind getting them. Sometimes it takes a bit of convincing, but she usually will. She will *always* be able to get at least one of the other women, and often the others will come along out of curiosity. They usually join in later.

Now tell the group of women what you originally told the first, to help 'pop' your back and not to be afraid to bounce a bit because your back is really tight. Now depending on how willing they are, two will step up onto you for a while. When nothing happens, now they will voluntarily add another to the group without asking. I have no idea why. Once a group has the green light from you, they really seem to open up to the idea of group trampling.

After a while have them get off and roll over on to your back. Ask them (in a joking voice), "Now do the front". If they say no, play it off as a joke. But if they ask, "Really?", pursue it. I've used this strategy throughout high school and college and it works beautifully. You can also get a good sense of which women really seem to like trampling you, which makes it easier to ask them again later. I've used this method for over ten years now and have kept track of how many women I've been trampled by. It's now over 400. I've had as many as four women at one time on my back as well as my front. I've had women voluntarily stand on my face, and I have had women trample me in high heels. I've also had some more unique experiences - trampled by four women in a swimming pool. It's all in how you ask. To those who think it's really difficult to find someone to do this, try this strategy. I'm sure you'll be wonderfully surprised at the results
