So where did the unconsenting part come in?

It didn't.

The only thing which could be construed as non-consensual [and this is a stretch] is that Thad hasn't exactly consented to listen to this. So if Chris insists on going on about it after Thad's stated *his* preference, well -- it's still far from rape, but I think it would be impolite.

Look, the one defining feature that determines whether most acts, sexual or otherwise, are `good' or `bad' is simply whether the other person wants it or not. So it seemed important to mention consenting adults there.

`My nostrils, my choice.'

Thad said that isn't what he meant. Not "She didn't do that and let's not speak about that"
-___- Maybe he should have.

[g33x0R]

Uh... You did notice the last panel, and the subject line for this thread, right? Right? ;-)


Cheers,
Patrick.

Thad's more annoyed than anything. Maybe a bit embarrassed.

Also I clearly made the heteronormative comment about CHRIS as himself. Not his discussion with Thad. Because we saw a little more into HIS personality. -___________-

Are you gassy?

Are you gassy?


Cheers,
Patrick.

Sometimes, sometimes-- especially where subjects like this are concerned-- sometimes I love you. <3

[g33x0R]

I, uh... I mean... [blush]

Hi carbuncle. :-)

All I ask is that you respect the sanctity of my nostrils. Otherwise, you can do whatever you want with me.


Love,
Patrick.

-____- "Are you gassy". Wow. Such cleverness. Yup. Totally burned me. Eeeeeyuuuup. Not unnecessarily childish or anything. Eyup.

[g33x0R]

It seemed like the only remaining possibility, since I'd already addressed your other concerns, and you still seemed to have your heart set on arguing with me.

I notice you didn't answer the question, but will endeavour to respect your privacy on that front. Back. Whatever. In any case your intestinal status is really none of my business, and I wasn't that interested in finding out anyway.


Cheers,
Patrick.

Are you gassy?


Cheers,
Patrick.

I don't think there was a better turn for that argument to take. A+

[g33x0R]

Okay, where were we? Right...

You know. in some ways Candi and Thad are a little similar and Chris and Katia are a little similar. In other ways of course, they're at the opposite end of the spectrum.

Whoah. Yeah, now that you mention it -- yeah. They have that same discomfort with playing the field, a little less adventurous than their friends [for example, Candi doesn't want to know too much about Laura's idea of fun, but doesn't judge her for it. They just have different tastes]. And it's important to note that neither wants to hold anyone back; they just don't want some of the things other people do.

Where Chris has tried a lot of things, and doesn't seem too hung-up about any of it, Katia hasn't but wants to find out. They both have that same basic open-mindedness about them, same disarming lack of reserve -- and the same ability to say random 5h!t off the top of their heads, just to make sure you're still paying attention. Chris might be less enthusiastic about it though, seems a little tired of being a football hero at this point.

Huh. Hadn't noticed the resemblance 'til now.


Thanks,
Patrick.

...Are you thinking what I'm thinking? [What I'm thinking is, those four should go on a double-date again. Not right now; when things are a little more settled between them.]


Cheers,
Patrick.
