ORIGINAL: JVoV When did arms become erogenous zones? You realize that making inferences about a co-worker's sexuality in any way is sexual harassment? Whereas simply touching a co-worker's arm (consensually or not) is not a crime at all? I'm not sure "erogenous zones" matter much. If I walked up behind a lady in a bar and ran my fingers through her hair, it may not be illegal (but I think in a lot of jurisdictions, it might), but it's creepy as fuck. As far as touching an arm (I can, sometimes, be that person that touches the forearm as I am speaking to someone, especially if we're sitting next to each other), I know companies (and I worked for one) where that type of thing was strictly verboten. No excuses. One warning. Second offense was a pink slip. I'm not sure I know exactly what Greta's on about, honestly. I grew up in European immigrant families. We're huggers and, in certain circumstances, there's even kissing on both cheeks. It's just what we do. Other than family, every Friday night, I play pool with a bunch of people (male and female) and there's hugs all around. There's a psychological belief that as humans, we NEED fourteen intimate (not sexual. Hugs, handshakes, a slight rubbing of the upper arm like some do when they're trying to comfort someone) contacts per day to truly be happy. Not everyone that touches you wants to fuck you, Greta. Excellent explanation of what is 'standard protocol' among many people(s). And good response, that last. Greta would have it that all Russians are homosexuals because they kiss cheek for 10,000 years. Hugging is not having (nor about having) sex, or wishing for it; it is an expression of common joviality or conviviality when after not seeing each other for awhile, or after a fun night. With family, it is about that and love, too.
