Stop Groping
California Girl and I were sitting at a table at an outside bar that we went to last night when one of the women we were there with said this to us. What’s strange is that we really weren’t groping each other. At least not what I call groping. So long as out hands are on the outside of our clothes its just touching. Late at night I have been known to reach up her shirt or down the backside of her pants in the dim light of a club but this wasn’t one of those occasions. And we might do a little groping at a private party. But were usually a little more reserved in public.
I had this picture from a party that we went to last year so I though I would ask.
- Is this groping?
- And, if so, is it OK if only adults are around?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

For the picture, no, it’s not groping, but if you’re sitting at a table with friends, and they can SEE what you’re doing, I think it’s a little much.
BD and I do it privately all the time…meaning when we’re in public, he puts his hands down my pants, or I touch his crotch, but we don’t do it when people can see. I don’t want to offend people.
But then again, MCB…fuck ‘em all….you two have a rockin’ marriage, and a superb sex life, and really, these people could take LESSONS from you!
mwah!

I wanted to tell you what BD said, fwiw (for what it’s worth). He says it’s part of social skills to know when/where to do it…just like using bad language. If you’re at a bar, who CARES if you touch/feel/makeout…whatever…but if you are at dinner with friends, you should keep it under control.
His two cents, but I tend to agree…just fyi

Kelly: I’m kind of a “touchy/feely” sort of a guy. When California Girl and I are out and about at adult only places (bars, clubs, etc) I’m probably as “ill-behaved” now as I was 20 years ago. California Girl sits in my lap a lot; we’ve kind of got a joint personal space. I like it when she does; we touch each other a great deal just going about or business.
SK: I agree with BD, that’s why I mentioned “the dim light of a club”. We don’t have a lot of forma diners with friends. We usually just meet up at a bar or club or in someone’s backyard. And once it gets toward 11:00 P.M. or so, and the sun has gone down, we are more relaxed and comfortable.
And, on a lighter note, California Girl has some outfits that really lend themselves to surreptitious groping.

You two are like young lovers…even after being married for so long! I continue to be impressed!

In my opinion no..but then I like to touch and be touch. In fact..with P I constantly ask him to make sure that I’m not invading his personal space in public places…everyone has their own comfort level there…but luckily he’s always proud to have me touch him..
Not groping to me!
