(no subject)

[serene]

My boob project post sparked a lot of comments by people who gave it more thought and context than I did -- go read if you want good dialogue on the subject. I don't know the people involved, can't tell you if they are creepy or not, and have not actually commented on the Project as a large thing (nor will I). You can still ask me politely if you may touch my boobs, and unless you're someone I've already asked not to touch me, I'll probably say yes.

It always amuses me, the things that catch fire in one's journal. :)

Even though I have The Ferret on my friends list, I ended up missing most of this controversy until about 10 minutes ago. What a fire this sparked!

My experience of theferrett is not creepy, and includes consensual explicit discussion of sex and exchange of photos. To the contrary I find him respectful and caring. Because of that I filtered his post in a respectful and caring way. Doesn't mean I didn't see the problems, and I'm going to address them when I'm home and not working on a pretend computer (my other partner's spare laptop).

PS the weather has been beautiful here!

Yep, I've been grooving on the weather! :-)

It certainly sparked all sorts of interesting discussion, for sure.

I'm pretty good at fielding polite requests about touching various body parts of mine. And my breasts are (usually -- pregnancy has changed this) not any more (or less) of an issue than, say, my hand, or my shoulder, or a hug, or whatever. My mood varies wildly between "sure, no problem" and "no thank you" depending on context, but that's OK.

That said, I think I would get majorly skeeved out if I had to field those sorts of requests on a regular basis, even just from friends.
