Re: Living Arrangements

I walked hunched over because I'm afraid I might tease a man.

I know you're being facetious, but surely you don't think I feel that men are too weak to be moral? Do you agree that we shouldn't lead men on? Not because I will be at fault if he misbehaves, but because it is disingenuous and inconsiderate on MY part.

Obviously I understand the concept of nonsexual affection, Emma. Rhoni is talking about a man she is presumably attracted to and/or in love with (HER definition of "lover"), so I would reasonably assume that neck nuzzling is or could easily become sexual.

In that respect, I think it unfair to play sexually with a man, call it "cuddling", and then act like he's at fault if he gets turned on. Understanding of course, that what is "affectionate" for a woman can be "sexual" for a man.

Aren't these rudimentary concepts?

Thank God for second chances

I see what you are saying, BUT the virgin term cannot logically apply - you have children, Rhoni. I know you're name is NOT Mary.

Okay, we are now back to square one!!!!!!

How long can an unmarried couple cuddle?!!!!!!! That's just not working for me. AND, since you are here - what do you mean by touching. What is a touch to you?
