In light of all the sexual misconduct allegations in the news… several people have been chastised for inappropriate sexual behavior. Some of the allegations are as serious as rape, while others are less serious… groping, forced kiss, or even as minor as a verbal request to a woman to satisfy sexually.
This has me wondering, we have a plethora of examples of what inappropriate sexual behavior - but I am thinking to myself - is there even a such thing as “appropriate sexual behavior”? Meaning something that is safe to do, sexually, 100% of the time.
For the purpose of this thread I am being a bit hard-headed on purpose
A traditional christian view is “no sex until marriage” - this defines extramarital sex as inappropriate
In my ideal world of honest human communication, it would make sense that simply asking for sex would be a straightforward, honest approach. But even to ask for sex can be labeled inappropriate (at the very least, made fun of):

Not to mention that from that from birth sex is introduced as inappropriate always (until age of consent is reached).
Not to mention that people (men and women alike) are commonly attracted to inappropriateness as it comes to sex. Interested in a bad boy? Mom wouldn’t approve. Interested in an attractive woman? Apparently you are now objectifying women and that too can be seen as inappropriate.
Oh you put out cause your partner bought you a nice gift? Whore.
I’m unmarried, so I am particularly interested in the opinions of married people, because only they are defined to be in a position to have sex appropriately.
Oh wait, peoples married sex lives are their private business. Sharing the details of ones own bedroom is definitely inappropriate.
So the people who can possibly have appropriate sex can’t share what is appropriate because to share what is appropriate is inappropriate.
Talking openly and honestly with your partner? I guess then I’m not showing the manly confidence so desired by women. If its not going to work its definitely inappropriate.
I ask in all seriousness - Is there a such thing as appropriate sexual behavior?
I really don’t think there is. And if there is, I doubt its wanted. Something to keep in mind when someone acts inappropriately sexually.
