Touch-Me-Not

Have been feeling sluggish and mentally dull. Noticed that the PMS has made a comeback. My guess is that I've been off the exercise circuit too long -- almost a month now. Shall start something regular again, tomorrow. Yeah, mustn't forget the weights. Gotta be prepared for the perverts, y'know?

I think these wankers do it because they think they can get away with it. And sure enough, they often do, as a lot of women would rather convince themselves that it was an 'accident', than make noise and risk being embarrassed if the guy were to declare his 'innocence'. Well, I'm one of them, sometimes.

But you know, if nothing else, there is really nothing wrong with bringing to someone's attention, LOUDLY, that his groin or butt is rubbing against your shoulder? Nothing there about him being a 'pervert'. Just stating a fact, in case he wasn't aware??? that a certain part of his body had invaded your personal space. Or, you could do what SF's mum once did to an invading butt. She whacked it hard with some geography workbook that she was carrying. ROFL!!! Suffice to say the guy was too speechless to make any smart-alecky retort in defence of his 'innocence'.

Anyway, I think exuding a 'don't-fuck-with-me' aura works as well. The idea is to focus all your awareness and anger, and then direct it at the subject of suspicion -- he shouldn't even THINK about screwing with you.

The lines are clear with total strangers. Intend to touch not -- unless you intend to be 'balled over'.

Now, what happens when it's someone that you are acquainted with? The lines start blurring, yes? I would say that we allow different people to cross different lines and at different times (or occasions). Also (for me at least), some touches feel different -- it could be our reaction to the toucher, or it could be us being able to feel the toucher's intentions. At the very least, body heat that originates from a certain body part and then transmitted to the rest of the body, can be felt from a mere touch. Same goes for the clammy hand; presumably from nervousness. Heh.

Recently, I had 3 intentional first-time touchers (all uninvited, mind). Strangely, the least acquainted one 'got away' with the most; probably because his touch was 'light' and never sleazy, and so I gamely allowed it. Then, there's the one that I sorta saw coming, but could be legit as an acceptable social greeting from a friendly colleague. And the one that I knew the longest, copped a feel -- the momentary 'test-the-water' kind of touch. Too momentary for me to feel his thoughts; but maybe I didn't need to, nor wanted to; not then, anyhow.
