My first reaction was not a good one. My second one was to back up and ask myself if it was hurting me on a personal level. My third was to realize that maybe some of us need to express this part of ourselves like this. My fourth was to not read in this thread again until I saw you had posted. Then, of course, my curiosity won. I like that you asked . My answer is that I think sometimes there will be a need for this kind of energy outlet. A 12 year old lives inside of most of us and sometimes that youthful energy needs an out. (not the most helpful answer but there you are. Moderating sucks, doesn't it?) As for whom I would like to tap? I will go with the definition of "go to for knowledge and advice" as others have and say Eleanor Roosevelt and Julius Caesar. |

Just another silly thread!!
When I read the thread title I really didn't put much thought into it as being offensive. I think I am safe to say Andrew's intentions always come from a place of love and authenticity. I joined in for fun and support. I am scratching my peanut head wondering what may/is offensive about it? I am asking for my own obtuse and sometimes falling short of the mark kinda guy?

Andrew, could you clarify what the topic is about? Some of us do need clue-by-fours is this more of seeing some celebrity and saying "Oh! I'd totally do her/him!"? 'Cuz if that is it, I have a long, long list.

Linus and Weatherboi,
It was like on the other site - who would you like to tap or in June's words "spend the night with". I had no idea it was wrong or disrespectful. That is never my meaning. It never has been. I feel like a jackass once again. Namaste, Andrew |

I had the biggest crush on him because of films like St. Elmo's Fire & Mannequin. And, I also had a crush one of the other 'Brat Pack'--Judd Nelson (the "bad/naughty boy" in Breakfast Club). As far as dudes go, though, my uber crush has always been Steve Martin...the wit, the charm, oh my!
Other crushes include: * my Sweetie, of course!!! * intellectuals, artsy, & power-suit types * my femme crushes on this site know who they are! * Oh, and, Valerie Bertinelli, Angelina Joli, Silas Howard & Wanda Sykes are hawt in my book...

oh gosh I forgot about him.
I'd tap it - twice about a year ago I was at a gay club here in Philly and Jane Lynch was there promoting something...anyway I got a picture with her and when she put her arm around me I got tummy butterflies. she is way sexy! Daddy rarely comes on here so I am posting hers: Alicia Silverstone Drew Barrymore and some hot model from VS ads lol (pretty good taste if I say so myself!) |

Just so folks realize:
When a man (or anyone says) says, "I'd like to TAP that"... or "Hit it", they are primarily, no specifically talking sexually about fucking a woman (or man!) - and as in a damn good banging from behind, at that. That is it. Tapping or hitting that "ASS". Sexual object. Nothing more, nothing less. Not that sex is wrong! Have fun! I wouldn't want to have this as part of our history here worded like this, but it is freedom of speech! And when June asked for interpretation and the "spending the night" was acceptable as the "compromise in understanding" - just realize the replies will be come from various interpretations as well as the current social knowledge of what this means then - and for the readers of this site as well. I am feeling offended by this thread start, but that is just me. It looks like some of you weren't sure what that "expression" actually referred to. Thus, I just wanted to share that in case it does in fact matter to you. Thanks. (You should still have fun if this is your thing, though - really.) WC |

To tap does seem to mean slap or fuck in the ass, or stick a penis in, at least according to the Urban Dictionary. From my perspective it sounds pretty derogatory towards women (actually probably towards anyone but seems to be primarily aimed at women- treating as a sexual object). It doesn't seem that is how people are using it here, but I don't think I am a big fan of the phrase.
I am not that interested in discussing crushes on heterosexual celebrities, but if others want to, no biggie to me. The Hollywood standard of beauty isn't really mine. The threads I really can't stand are the What's the Least/Most Butch/Femme Thing You Do.

I wasn't offended by the thread because I have read the thread initiator's posts for about two years now and because this thread is in the "fluff" category. That being said, I know that not everyone will be reading this thread from the same standpoint. And, I also think that it's great to bring awareness to the political implications of phrases that are flippantly used. Like Gemme, I don't really participate in sharing much information regarding my sexual inclinations; but, I wanted to contribute to this thread because I felt like I knew the good intentions behind its creation and because I think each poster can clarify his/her/hys/ze's appropriation of the term "tap". For instance, I chose the act of "crushing" (a playful affection and thinking someone's "cute" or "sexy"). And, perhaps, even a dialogue here--or elsewhere--about "tap" may prove beneficial (like the discussions on the slang use of "gay"). Just a few thoughts, here. Respectfully, daisy

I think that is one of the reasons why the thread has coolness potential: to expand the normalized view of beauty/sexiness by recognizing the fabulosity of notables that may not appear on "People's 100 most gorgeous celebrities" (such as undervalued writers, musicians, ect.).

I just sent an email to Linus. I asked him to close down this thread since I can't.
Never in a million years did I ever mean to be disrespectful towards anyone. It is just so not me. If anyone wants to place blame on anyone, blame me. Don't take it out on each other, please. This has nothing to do with freedom of speech. It was just something silly to do. That was my intention. Life is very different for me. I am retired, and home now. I spend more time online than ever before. It helps pass the time. Plus I get to talk to all of my friends. I am just so very sorry this thread has taken this path. It was never ever meant too. My apologies to each and everyone who was offended and insulted. Please forgive me. Namaste, Andrew |
