Touching...
As you all know I've been in this lifestyle for quite awhile and there are just some things I cannot let happen without speaking up. I recently attended a party where something occurred that shouldn't be allowed to continue. I'm not going to mention any names because that would be uncouth, so in this will be said in general terms.
Ladies and gentleman, what I'm referring to is touching someone without permission. Please ask before you touch and remember to watch the other persons body language too.
I know this subject has been posted about over and over again, but it still keeps happening. I urge if this happens to you deal with it right away. Tell the host(s) or confront the person directly, but make sure it's taken care of. We have to let he offenders know that it is NOT something we will tolerate no matter who they are and how long they've been around the lifestyle.

I'm really glad you posted this V. Thanks for reminding us that No Means No! Some people just can't seem to accept that and it's gotten out of hand. I'm still a newbie and after what happened last weekend, it almost scared me away but I know now that I shouldn't be afraid to tell the host or say something to the offender.

Agree totally with above - Most of these parties will have moderators tell one of them also - Thats part of what they are for they will be most helpful in handling it...

Ladies...I was there with you (and still don't know what I missed), but if ever I can help, PLEASE, let me know! I don't have any problems with telling someone NO! I will always have your back regarding this issue!

Based on the previous discussion, I am assuming that this problem occurred at the Dutch Over Cookout we hosted at our residence last weekend. If that is the case, I would like to apologize to the people that were offended. Neither Michelle nor I had any knowledge that there was a problem. If we had known there was any kind of problem, we would have taken action and asked the offender to leave if necessary. As V noted, if anyone ever has an issue with any behavior, please bring it to the attention of the hosts or the group moderators and we will step in and take action. These kinds of events are all about having a good time and if anyone in attendance is not comfortable with someone else's actions then we will not hesitate to take the appropriate action. Again, we are deeply sorry that there was a problem.

Noooooooooo, this didn't happen at the cookout. Everyone there was very well behaved and I didn't have a problem with anyone. The offense occurred at the other party we went to after the cookout. I've contacted the moderator of that group and she is handling the situation.

MetalMami, thanks for clearing this up... I am relieved to know that it was not someone at one of this groups functions  But, again if it does happen... Please, tell the Person, the Mods, or the host (or all the above). Nothing can be done about it if they do not know  & things do not change if you stay silent about it
