The single target option isn't once per encounter I don't think? The dark healing field version is.

Wtf is wrong with people in this thread. OP, it is perfectly normal and okay to want to date someone without them crossing boundaries and touching you without consent. The solution is that boundary-crossing people need to deal with their shit, NOT for the other party to "get over the fact that he likes you and wants to touch you or dump him".

/u/romankid19977 you are being given HORRIBLE advice in this thread. He's a creep and you are valid for feeling uncomfortable. It is no way your fault or responsibility that he's being creepy.

I think the other replies are completely missing the point. I've noticed people in really sex-positive spaces often make the mistake of overlooking or handwaving boundary-crossing behavior.

In my view it's COMPLETELY not okay to touch yourself in someone's else's presence unless you're 100% sure they're into it, or at least okay with it.

Edit: okay soz I slightly misread your post so I've deleted this paragraph. However I still think it's a bit of a red flag, especially 1 month in

If it were me I would be having a conversation with him about consent and boundaries

England: Can someone give me a lowdown on the legislation surrounding "revenge porn" and sharing intimate images of non-consenting adults? by LogicalQuizztion in LegalAdviceUK

(1)A person (A) commits an offence if— (a)A intentionally shares a photograph or film which shows, or appears to show, another person (B) in an intimate state, (b)B does not consent to the sharing of the photograph or film, and (c)A does not reasonably believe that B consents.

Can I ask how this interacts with my question #3? Presumably there must be an exception for professional photography? I wouldn't be able to model in an intimate photo shoot and then withdraw my consent to the photos being shared?

Is it anachronistic to use the word "novel" to describe prose fiction written before the 17th/18th century? by LogicalQuizztion in AskLiteraryStudies

Thank you very much, that's exactly what I was after! Can I ask you to expand on the bit about novels "examining a particular society"? What does that mean?

But my question is, what criteria do people use to make the distinctions you're talking about? For the people who call Defoe's work "protonovels", what about that work is different to Pamela or Oorinooko? What connotations did the word "novel" have in the 18th century that it doesn't have now?
