Dared to wear a silicone prosthetic of a vagina

Ralph leaned back in his chair, a sly grin on his face. "Well, boys, I've got something special for you today. Something that will make you a thousand bucks richer."

Eric, Charlie, and Max exchanged looks. They were used to Ralph's antics, but this was a bit more than they were expecting.

Ralph leaned forward, his voice low. "I've purchased something that will make the wearer appear to have female anatomy. And the dare is to wear it and take a picture of yourself."

There was a moment of stunned silence. The group exchanged glances, unsure of how to respond to this bizarre proposition. Finally, Max spoke up.

"That's...weird, Ralph. What the fuck?"

Ralph shrugged. "Suit yourself, Max. But think about it. A thousand bucks for a silly little dare? That's not something to pass up."

Eric and Charlie were equally hesitant. "I don't know, man. That's kind of messed up," Charlie said.

Ralph's expression turned serious. "Come on, guys. It's just a joke. Nobody's going to get hurt. And think about what you could do with a thousand bucks."

There was a long moment of silence as the group weighed their options. Finally, Max spoke up again, "Okay, fine. I'll do it. I'm not sending you the picture, though. You can just look at it on my phone."

Eric and Charlie looked at him incredulously. "What? Max, are you serious?" Eric asked.

Max shrugged. "Why not? It's just a dumb dare, right?"

Charlie shook his head. "Man, I don't know about this. Something about it feels wrong."

But Max was already reaching for the bag.

"I put some lotion in the bag for you," Ralph said with a weird smile on his face as Max quickly headed out into the main section of the mall and headed to the men's room.

He disappeared into the bathroom with the shopping bag, feeling a sense of unease in the pit of his stomach. What was he getting himself into?

He took out the contents of the bag and examined them. It was a silicone prosthetic, designed to look like a vagina. There was a small box of lotion in the bag like Ralph had said.

He read the advertisement blurb to himself, feeling increasingly uncomfortable as he did. "The ultimate tool for gender exploration and self-expression," it read. "A realistic look and feel, your partner won't know the difference. Advanced technologies for maximum stimulation and penetration!"

Max sighed and shook his head, feeling ridiculous. But he took a deep breath and applied the lotion to the prosthetic, trying to ignore the feeling of nausea that was building in his stomach.
