So I followed a link in a locked post to the Open-source Boob Project, and here's how my thinking went:

1) Wonder if I should post to my friendslist "Yes, you may".

2) Well, but should I friends-lock it?

3) Well, but then I should really remove anyone from my friendslist that I don't want touching my boobs.

4) Well, no, because I can say no to them. But wouldn't it be funny to just post an open post saying "If I drop you from my friendslist in the next day or so, it's because I don't want you touching my boobs"?

Anyway, Yes, you can. Ask, that is. I'm likely to say "You can touch my boobs; it's no big deal."

Rereading my comment, I need to edit for grammar/clarity: "He may not have meant to say what he literally said, but what he said was not "Allowing people access to your body is sometimes healthy". What actually said, the literal meaning of his actual word choice, was "considering your body yours to control is not always healthy". I can't seem to put a positive spin on that, no matter how hard I try.

As, I dunno, formal and tacky as this sounds

Exactly. That is EXACTLY what he wrote, and I am so tired of people making excuses for guys and saying, oh he didn't mean that, he meant this other much more reasonable thing; and you're like, but he did! He said that! I can point to it! What the hell ass balls do you get out of flat refusing to see what is in front of you?!

THANK YOU for putting your finger on what was bothering me about that phrasing.
