Is wolf-whistling a sex crime?

I have just returned to this thread, in particular to try and find out what there was in pompa's posts that might be regarded as offensive or objectionable in any way - I can find nothing at all - if there had been then they would have been deleted.

He is expressing a view on how men and women are initially attracted to one another - and I see nothing to argue with there. I was attracted on first sight of my OH to how he looked - it was only much later that I learned about his intelligence, loving nature and extraordinary dry humour.

It is human nature to first see how someone looks and it takes time to appreciate their other qualities.

To address the OP: wolf-whistling is not something I would object to, unless the recipient seemed uncomfortable in some way and then they should stop. It is a time-honoured way of expressing appreciation.

Clearly physically obstructing someone (male or female) is not acceptable.

We cannot become so "right on" that we deny our human natures; or indeed lose our sense of humour.

Come back pompa.

For pompa (but don't whistle it)

I agree kittylester.
I am amazed at the way the thread has gone and that so many people lack a sense of humour!
Don't be bullied pompa- we need more humour- stay with us.

And they believed what the priests told them! Then more trouble when it was translated into English and a lot of things were shown to be later additions.

Trouble came when people couldnt actually read for themselves.

Thats why I always advise people to read the bible themselves, to see what it actually says. Rather than rely on others to say what is actually in the bible.

Good posts POGS, grumppa and Elegran!

Here it is

If anyone missed the series recently on "Sex and the church" or it might have been "The church and sex" then do find it on the net and watch it. An eye-opener on what the bible actually says about sex, and what Jesus said in particular (very little) and how marriage was not a church matter for a long time, but a civil contract between man and woman.

An interesting documentary.

Why could it? Explain a bit more.

Even worse than taking off the night-shirt !

Not two holes each though, that could be dodgy!

And his socks, jings don't forget his socks.

Well said, grumppa.

I'm pretty sure when didn't mean magpie123, jingl...

Might cause friction burns with the fabric?

Galen Perhaps two holes? Synchronisation could be difficult in the dark (not easy in the light either)

Oh is that what the thread's about?! Yes, I remember now.

I suppose it might be like keeping his pj's on.

The development of this thread passes belief. An almost light-hearted OP has provoked an intense and often acrimonious debate about wolf-whistling in particular and the nature of men (and women) in general. Pompa tried to introduce a little levity in his customary manner while making a genuine point about human nature, and was roundly abused and bravely defended.

No wonder very few men, apparently, have the cojones to join in on threads like this; we are on a hiding to nothing.

Get a life, everyone; it's not too late, even for grandparents!

I don't think anyone could call pomps a "miscreant".

Perhaps when meant Magpie123.

I don't see why/how that would stop either of them enjoying it!

I thought the hole was in the woman's gown? Indecent to bare ones legs you know! Whot?

So long as the hole was -

No! Stop it now!

"...chaste men wore a long night gown with a hole cut in it, so that they could impregnate their wives without (horror) either of them enjoying it"



Would that stop the bloke... Oh, never mind.

Elegran, you don't mean that no one is around to...er...moderate at all, do you? You'll give people ideas!
