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."

I think that had the post been by anyone other than The Ferrett I would have felt happier about it. Still not unconflicted, but happier. I'm with you, he gives me the mighty creeps. I used to read his LJ but gave up a while ago because of ... something I no longer remember, but it gave me the shudders.

My initial reaction was 'of course I'd wear one of the green buttons', but on thinking about it, from the tone of Ferrets post I'd stick to a 'free hugs' t-shirt instead. I'm not naiive, even that can be sexual depending on the person doing the hugging, but breasts are so much more loaded.

And gah, I need to think more on this and not clutter up [livejournal.com profile] serenejournal's page.

(People I know can always ask and I'm likely to say 'of course, no big deal', making that offer to a convention population in general, not so comfortable with that)
