Yeah. I was previously unaware that my two options were (1) I am ashamed of and/or selfish about my body, and (2) I am A-OK with having a big group of strangers grope my body.
I like emmycantbemeeko's comment that " think "men have insufficient chances to touch boobs" is about the lowest possible priority sexual problem facing our society. "Men feel overly entitled to access to women's bodies" is pretty close to the top." That about sums up my feelings. The presence of women in the boob-touching group, offered as a defense of why emmycantbemeeko must be totally off-base, doesn't move me in the slightest. There are, and have been throughout time, plenty of women who are willing to participate in the objectification of women for the delectation of men. It tends to get them plenty of favorable male attention, after all.
Some of theferrett's comments are creeping me the fuck out. "your response seems to come from a personal mindset of, "My body is something so special to me that only people I have firmly vetted and talked to and invested in should be allowed to touch those areas." Which is fine. [...] But that also involves an interview process, and the attitude that your body is a vested space that is, by nature, exclusive. That's fine. But that doesn't mean it's the only way to be, or that it's always healthy."
On my Top 10 list of things I don't need: a crowd of roving fanboys expressing their concern about whether my interest in preserving my own bodily integrity is "healthy."

But I guess I'm all about "scarcity."
