Inside the male mind: Thoughts on body contact, anyone?

also ...as I said this doesn't bother me but having only been in close physical contact with my husband for a very very long time....it is not very routine yet....and the instructor is my age etc...so it is a little new for me.....in NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO way am I alluding to arousal luh that is another whole thread that I am not starting
 
When talking to boys you got to be obvious....

I don't dance ballroom either, but I do dance blues, and sometimes you feel it...hard or not and no matter the size. The more experienced dancers can dance through it and not notice, and it doesn't necessarily mean something is being done wrong. Beginner dancers, and those who are part-timers at it, tend to notice and be more uncomfortable with it.

Really it's no different than an ABG (Accidental boob grab), some times you're doing a spin and to bring back to closed quickly and keep connection, a guys hand may graze...it happens. A follow can tell when it's just part of the dance or when it's intentional.

Same goes for crotch moves. RandomMysh knows what I'm talking about as our WCS dancers in NYC make fun of them all the time. Two hand hold moves than involve a lot of movement downwards, sometimes the hands graze his package. It happens.

We like to joke around and see how obvious and how many ways we can do them all, but they're jokes among friends, not something we'd ever do with people outside our small tight circle of friends. And like I mentioned with ABG's you can tell when they are ovgious, and therefore creepy. You don't want to dance with these people again. But in the course of a regular dance, those who dance regularly and constantly don't notice them.

:doh: :doh:

True blue westie here, like I mentioned above. I'm in a tight circle of friends who will goof off on occasion in a more private setting and see what we can get away with, but we all know it's in fun and all trust one another. With anyone else, we don't go there....unless they're really really really hot. :wink:
 
OK, I think I have enough info to respond. Maybe.

I am guessing that the women (or men) that are posting here have not done ballet. In ballet, you do something called dressing up. One reason that you do this is becuase it is fairly inevitable that someone will rub up against you at some point. Or, something that you do might be exciting. So yes, there is contact and yes things happen. It is just a part of life.

I really do not think that the instructor cares either way. I am guessing that you are doing the move correctly or the instructor would say something.

In my opinion, all dancing is sexy/sexual. I am not a history person, but dancing was declared illegal by some societies for various reasons. I believe this was one of the reasons. Anyone have more info on this?

I have more to say, but I am not sure how to say it.

i was not the one, who was the one who was talking about size and erection, to put that right here. I did not think of those things!

But i think you are right. things probably happen. if intentionally it's creepy.
i'd never do something like that intentionally, that's icky, but even those accidental things make me feel uncomfortable. Should you normally just keep dancing or give it a sorry (that's what i normally do)?
luh
 
I think I should mention something though.

Although very new to the ballroom world, I have spent a lot of time in the dance (ballet/modern) world. So nudity and sexuality was very in the open. So I am probably more comfortable about certain things than others might be.

Then again, there are other things I am probably not comfortable about because of the same thing.
 
If you are dancing with someone there is going to be body contact. I think it is the intention of the contact that makes the difference.

I have apoligized for accidental boob contact. I think this is the same thing. If you are doing it in the dance, with appropriate (sometimes accidental) intentions, then it is just a part of the world of dance.

Creepy is something else. Creepy happens in the mind. Dance happens in the body.
 
lol, my circus partner and I had all sorts of interesting run ins

Wont go into them here, but... yeah- if you think ball room is close, try circus arts. You have to be lifted by your crotch, stnad in someone elses etc...

And as a result my circus partner was more comfortable in a thong than his girl friend. (protective thong devices... guys know what im talking about, I cant remember the name)

You are either refering to a dance belt or a cup. Although a cup isn't a thong, so you are probably talking about a dance belt.
