This one model for example would touch me in ways that are technically sexual harassment, like randomly rubbing my leg, walking over and kissing me. I think she's still relatively new in America, so maybe she doesn't understand that it's inappropriate, or maybe it's her affectionate personality. I don't think she has any nefarious intent though.

sure, couple times at bars a woman has groped my dick and vanished

i didnt appreciate it considering i was out with my wife

but it's not a frequent enough experience that i feel it would ruin a night, mostly not worth the energy to act against. if someone did it and hung around i would prob yell at them

So tell her to stop. If you don't tell her, or give any visual or body language cues that you don't want to be touched like that, then it's not harassment.

I've had occasions where women groped me. Like straight up grabbed my dick. But like Darkman said, it's not a frequent enough experience to really put any energy into or for me to really be worried about on a day in day out basis.

There was only one time as a minor at a carnie job that I worked at where I was technically sexually harassed. Some drunk slut with a couple of her kids came up to our area and tried a duck pond game where you pick up a duck to see if you win. Instead of using it with her hands like sober people would, she ducked her head in the water and pulled the duck out with her teeth. She then came to a game I was working at where you throw balls at some objects. The first thing she said to me was "I need some balls to squeeze!" I didn't realize it after she left that I was technically sexually harassed, but it didn't bother me and we all had a laugh about it.

Not according to some of the stories you hear about. Some people go along with things then years later say that it was harassment.

Yeah, so it comes down to credibility at that point. If you're a nobody, it's important that you go to HR and report that shit.

What would ya'll do if a homeless person sexually herassed you as you walked by them? Like, they grabbed your junk. You couldn't really broadcast it on social media. I mean, I guess you could but what would come of it lol? They're homeless, so what exactly are they gonna lose.

Typcially, it seems people report these types of things for two reasons: Vindicate themselves, and/or cause the harasser to lose something. However, in the case of a homeless person...? I don't see much coming of it.

if a homeless person touched me--sexually or otherwise--i would honestly probably assume i was being mugged and immediately respond with physical force

going back to the frequency thing, homeless people enter my personal space to ask for money frequently, which makes me uncomfortable (i say no and move on, not 'sorry') but if one touched me i would definitely move past a step. in a sexual way? bigger step, probably lizard brain level reaction.

i never use social media to complain about being harassed. if a response is warranted in the moment i respond in the moment. it's not like i would expect sympathy on social media.

I mean more in private interactions. Here's an example:

https://hyperallergic.com/418222/chuck-close-accused-sexual-misconduct/

Artist Julia Fox said she met Close at a fundraising event in 2013, where he offered to photograph her in his studio. During the session, the artist allegedly asked her to undress, and although she felt uncomfortable doing so, she agreed out of politeness.

So she went along with it, but why didn't she speak up at this point? I've worked with models who speak up and say that they don't want to do a particular pose for example. It is good that she finally spoke up once the artist did become sexual though:

According to Fox, Close approached her when she was fully nude and told her, Your ***** looks delicious. She tried to exit the studio at once, but Close stopped her and tried to pay her $200 before she left, which she refused. She kept the incident to herself until this fall, when she posted an Instagram story describing it to her followers.

Because Close was in a position of power. That's the second factor that a lot of ppl don't take into account. Bosses/Supervisors/ famous/powerful people need to watch their behavior a lot more than ppl on equal footing.

That is why companies often BAN romantic or sexual relationships between supervisors and subordinates.

ALSO, read the article. They accused Close of SEXUAL MISCONDUCT, nothing more.

Yeah, I've been inappropriately touched or otherwise harassed by a few women throughout my life. The funny thing is that they were mostly people I would gladly have done all sorts of things with, just not in the circumstances where they were getting handsy/flashy. So, it was harassment in the moments it occurred, but not the sorts of things I felt a need to report or anything like that later.

Respect people's personal space, body, and right to decide when and where they want to let you get physical, if they do at all. It's just reasonable courtesy!

Had my ass smacked as a teenager at a bowling alley by a female friend, and more recently my former manager at work would hit on me and slap my ass sometimes.

None were unwanted, though. If I had told the manager off she would have listened (she was my friend and actually got me the job).

Two separate incidents, both female who were complete strangers. Ass slap and ass cheek grab. First time also included an inappropriate sexual comment. Told my friends about that first incident, turned into a laughing matter.

Had my ass grabbed at clubs by guys and girls before. Technically harassment but I definitely dont care. As far as anything more serious, no, but I'm also a pretty built out guy and have been for essentially all of my adult life so once I made it out of the juvenile period unscathed nothing has really been that threatening tbh. I would basically need to be held at gunpoint to be realistically a possible victim to harassment.

I got jumped in the locker room after football practice by a dude in his underwear and got fought to the ground before he eventually turned me over and humped my ass. He even pulled my shorts down but kept my underwear on. A few kids hung around and laughed during it.

Someone will say it was a prank, bro, but I never laughed.

The worst I had was I was visiting a friend in California and we were on a train. For context I live out in the woods in Alaska so there were more people in that section of the train then I see in a month, and everyone is crammed together. Extremely uncomfortable for me.

We get to our stop and I borderline forced myself through the crowd to get to the door because I needed out. And while I was doing that someone got real grabby with my ass, didnt say or do anything about it because I was too focused on getting the fuck off that train. Just something extra to sour my experience with that.

Thanks, man. That was almost 15 years ago and I've never talked about it outside of the anonymity of the Internet. It would have been a huge mistake back in that all boys military school against a star football player. Felt too embarrassed to let my parents know.

Often. You just deal with it. There isn't enough time in a day to go crying to HR whenever someone's sexually harassing you. You put up with the harmless stuff and call them out for anything beyond that.

There were times where I had to make sure I wasn't in a situation where I was alone with certain people, though, customers or coworkers alike.

An all boys military school sounds like a nightmare...I'm not sure what I would have done in that situation. Hopefully the good outweighed the bad during your experience there.

I mean technically.

There was this one girl at my old job who called me her boyfriend and would randomly poke my nipples and say "surprise!"

I joked that life wouldn't go well for me if I tried the same to her. But she insisted it wouldnt be a problem.

I never tried my luck. >~>

Yes, by both men and women. My first sexual experience (and loss of my virginity) could be considered a sexual assault, although I don't really feel that way.

Edit: - Addendum- I've never reported anyone. I politely decline and try to avoid being alone with that person. The last person to do it was a 16 year old girl, I was 34. She groped me suddenly and quite aggressively in a tool shed, and I bolted.
