Not going to offer many details on the where or how, as I don’t intend to dox myself, but suffice it to say that I will continue touching butts for an extended period. I don’t like feeling aroused by the act. These people placed trust in me. Trust that I mean them no harm and that I am safe to be around. I can certainly be both while aroused, but I’d rather not have to deal with this.

I’d prefer not to dissociate through work, but I can’t find another way to contextualize my experiences in a way that doesn’t leave me frustrated until I get home.

    As an asexual person, my flabber is so gasted reading through these comments. I truly have never even considered that any of this is a possibility.

    Anyway, good luck I guess OP. Now I will proceed with my life with even more anxiety about having humans touch me.

      Don’t worry it’s mostly harmless reactions. Like feeling hungry when you see someone with a bacon sandwich. You wouldn’t steal that person’s bacon. That person’s bacon is safe from you. But damn if you’re not hungry now.

      Edit : some people would steal that bacon. But people who would actually do that don’t usually last long.
