..."Dirty Jobs" doesn't suck, either.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

No stealth gropes. Check.

I don't know if I'd do so well with the groping at a F2F. I can do hugs and leans and light snuggles, but anything more personal would likely result in unpleasantness. Though I could probably be persuaded into light pecks.

Rutabaga could be a useful word in the context of a F2F. It should go in the FAQ.
And Dirty Jobs is the only reason I can come up with to get cable.

Well, I've never taken part in the gropey-grabby-smooching parts of any F2F I've been at. It's just not my thing. But I'm perfectly willing to be an enabler of other people doing so!

Trust my rage
Yeah, the more I hear about F2Fs, the more I think I wouldn't enjoy it. I don't really want to be groped by anyone, even my invisible online friends. I *am* an extrovert who likes big parties but all these stories of anxiety and groping kissing are making me wonder if I would would run screaming from an F2F.

“Not dead yet!”
Hey, I'm all about the hugging and groping and physicality (another one of those ways where I'm incredibly, typically of my background) but anyone comes up behind me and tries to hug me, they may well come back with a shiner.
I think a lot of people, introvert or extrovert, have what I call "dance space" boundaries.

Adult Swim, man!!!
And, uh, I'm going to have to get cable before the election kicks into high gear. I can't help it. I need to see what's happening.

See, I *knew* that with my penchant for melodramatic retellings, I'd make an F2F sound like Tailhook, and it is SO NOT.
98% of the time is hanging out in smaller groups for excursions and whatnot that are grope-free (was there groping at The House on the Rock???). And, honestly, the kissing and snuggling and stuff that could be considered groping are really really REALLY mutual.
PLEASE don't read my overreaction to a stealth backrub as reason to worry that an F2F is like Tailhook. I am at the far, far, FAR end of the curve on touchy-feely-ness.

I don't think it's as bad as all that. I think we're all pretty cool about who does/does not want to be groped or fondled or whatever.
I mean, if you really don't want to take chances, just announce "Do NOT grope me!" and prove your point by double-karate chopping (tm Capt. James T. Kirk) the first mofo to get too close.
That's what I do.
