As a teenager I would’ve been so shy and irritated by that sort of scenario. As a grown man now with much more confidence and life experience, I’d straight up ask them if they wanted to bang.
As a middle schooler, I thought the idea of nonconsensual harassment was pretty hot. I still feel that way, but I thought it back then too.
Still don’t think such should be tolerated just because I liked it. Also, when there’s a credible threat vs minimal in-school harassment, its a lot scarier (although its still hot).
…then I grew up, and realized you can have consensual harassment.
That would mean having to do things like be honest with your feelings and communicate with people.
I’d rather die.
Yeah, i have worked at restaurants. Server staff are always consentually harassing each other

What if they were just doing it to make fun?
I remember being in gym class, secondary school a few decades ago and these two sexually prolific girls for lack of a better term, moderately popular, who would spend gym classes flirting and basically sexually molesting? (Idk what term to use when clothes are on) this nerdy kid most days in gym. Teacher only seemed to laugh when he noticed.
They would feel him up and tell him his balls were small or penis was crooked. It was fucked up.

Yeah, it definitely happens for malicious reasons sometimes, in which case it would be a very bad case of bullying. In fact, it’s a particularly cruel form of psychological bullying. It’s painful for a young man to be made to feel worthless and inadequate by girls.
