i realize this is a strawman's fallacy, but I won't be surprised if open bestiality isn't looked down on in 5 years.

<p>Good point, but bestiality a whole other thing. That is not dancing!!!!!!! (at least, from what i know :eek:)</p>
<p>lmao i can't believe teenagers on here are opposed to grinding. </p>
<p>i'm a freshman and grinding is definitely the most popular dance at my HS dances.</p>
<p>You have to understand that most people in CC are nerds lol</p>
<p>that's why</p>

<p>I can... lol.</p>
<p>probably because people on CC havent tried it or havent reached puberty yet</p>
<p>I used to be opposed to it, and then I did it with one of my dates (it was actually kind of her idea). I personally don't mind as long as it is as nonsexual as possible - there is a difference between bending over and getting really dirty, and just dancing close to each other.</p>
<p>That being said, I'm surprised that you guys are so unable to believe that some people don't like it. I know people who are nerds, jocks, emo, etc. who don't like it. It's entirely understandable that someone doesn't think it's appropriate or doesn't want to do it.</p>

<p>lmfa o</p>
<p>theres something about this whole thread thats just so heinously prudish</p>
<p>Seriously, are some people so unconfortable with themselves that they have to be such prudes around their peers. I do find it awkward when I see people breathing all up on eachother and rubbing themselves all over eachother durring a dance because most of the time they look like horny pigs as opposed to people actually dancing. However, when people are actually dancing to the music and "grinding" (sorry, it just sounds so stupid) then I see no problem.</p>
<p>When it starts to look like people are having intercourse on the dance floor, I think it's safe to say that they've crossed some line (or need to "get a room" at the very least)... I think when people reach a certain level of explicitness, the "dirty dancing" is just awkward (for others around them) and not done in good taste-when it's fairly mild, it's usually ok.</p>
<p>If both people are comfortable with it, I see nothing wrong with it. That being said, there's a difference, for me at least, between how I'd grind with my boyfriend in private and how I'd dance with him in public. There is a line, usually somewhere around the time when hands go under the clothing as opposed to over it, where it turns a bit too inappropriate for public.</p>
<p>But I like it in general. It's fun, it's sexy, and it's just another type of dancing. I have just as much fun grinding as I do swing-dancing or slowdancing with guys.</p>
<p>Grinding's great, but I don't take it too far. There's a line to draw and you should keep the rest private.</p>
<p>It's best kept between people who are dating.</p>
<p>I didn't realize there were so many levels to the art of grinding! There's the dry hump, where you're basically spooning, the liberal, where you're 3 in apart and the conservative, where you're 6 in apart! I always thought of grinding as a dry hump from what I see on youtube, school, and rap music videos. </p>
<p>I think it would be best to ask your date if she/he would prefer the conservative, liberal or dry hump grind next time you decide to dance.
I feel so educated now! What a catharsis!
<em>sarcasm</em></p>
<p>See, the problem with grinding is that I don't want to be the "random girl" that laserbase is describing. What the heck am I getting out of it? I'd look like some cheap hooker who has nothing better to do than go around and rub against random strangers. </p>
<p>So that's why I don't do it. Why would I want to do any semi-sexual act with some random jerk?</p>
<p>If other people do it, then whatever- I'm okay just as long as they're not crossing the line. If hands are under clothing, that's what you do in private. Seriously.</p>
<p>I think it's hot.</p>
<p>ah my last post was deleted... but anyways @brillar...yup everyone at my school does it..so if people don't do it...u'd be an outcast...and if any of us were to see somebody dancing like face to face with like 2 ft of separation...we'd laught at them.</p>
<p>There's a difference between grinding and dancing with two feet of separation. You can still dance close without being so close that you can feel... things. (I'm trying to be subtle here, CC.)</p>
<p>Honestly people are making too big of a deal out of freaking. It is in fact a type of dancing: people are engaging in rhythmic movements to music. And it's here to stay, at least for our generation, so either like it or ignore it.</p>
<p>What kind of things? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>brillar,</p>
<p>I think you are way too feminist.
Even if grinding is a sign of sexual motion/stimulation, sex is mutual to both ppl. When a guy is having sex w/ a girl, THEY BOTH are having it. It's not degrading to one if it isn't to the other.
only sexist (or reverse-sexist) ppl think it's degrading to one but not the other</p>
