Open source boob project

The post is long, and kind of confusing with the updates on top. To summarize:

At a convention, people can choose to wear a green 'yes' button, or a red 'no' button. 'Yes', means it's ok to ask that person 'may I touch your breasts/ass/body'. The person can refuse individual requests - Yes just means it's ok to ask. A No button, or no button at all, means it's not ok to ask.

What do you guys think about this arrangement?

To me, it's fascinating. Sure, I love boobs. But the idea of being physically close to someone is very attractive - in a 'cuddling', not even necessarily in a sexual way, though that's nice, too. In the normal course of events, even with friends, one rarely gets close in that way. On the other hand, the potential for abuse is obvious - I'd never want anyone to feel pressured or uncomfortable.

I went to a few parties like that back in college. Only there were wristbands, and they were a bit more risque.

this is a dandy idea for the next TFP world meet imo, buwhaha.

I should have gone there last weekend...

I run linux as my sole OS. And I like boobies. But, I still don't understand what is so great about touching some strange girls breasts over her clothes.

Haha too funny. I read the ferrett's weekly Magic the Gathering column. Anyways, OSBP is an interesting concept that I have found true in real life, particularly with women with augmentations. If they've paid to have them fixed, they're usually ok with as many people enjoying them as possible!

Aaaaaand it's gone to shit. Quel Suprise.

I'd like to feel your breasts but now what?

Intimate social interaction is such an extremely delicate balance. How many times have I been in a wonderful Free Sex Commune only to have it ruined once someone begins to skip out on their turn doing the dishes or cleaning the outhouse.

Okay never, but as liberating as this "project" sounds, it was doomed to failure the second it expanded outside of his immediate social circle. The weight of standard mass behaviour is simply too crushing. I wonder how long until this story hits the national media to be pillioried and exploited to both titillate and scare viewers?

I kind of want to chose exactly who touches me... I don't know, I guess I would have to try it out before I totally put the idea down.

I didn't read the whole story, but why aren't the guys participating? Why can't we touch their junk if they're wearing a green button?

Then again, I don't want people touching random parts of me anyway, I'm not a super touch-feely person.

And I am a touchy feely person. But generally, men are good at catching on to who's okay and who's not. This is why the button thing is not gonna do it for me. Some men think If Joe can touch her, so can I. :no:

Nuh-uh. :no: If I was on a shelf, I would wear a sign. But whether I'm at a party or the grocery store, I will always pick and choose. :)

Sorry, this just sounds stupid to me. What the fuck's the point?

Oh, look how modern and open we are.......let's fondle boobs!

lol, uh, bullshit?

It's like a cross between Mardi Gras and a comics convention and just as crass and superficial.

But not to worry, I won't be there. :lol:

I'm not defending this thing--I find it problematic at best--but the idea of wearing a button is, it gives people permission to ask permission to touch you. Wearing a red button or no button has you off limits to even ask. So you would always have control.

What are the chances of a guy wanting to touch a girl's headlights but not wanting her to inspect his undercarriage?
