    As a teenager I would’ve been so shy and irritated by that sort of scenario. As a grown man now with much more confidence and life experience, I’d straight up ask them if they wanted to bang.

      What if they were just doing it to make fun?

      I remember being in gym class, secondary school a few decades ago and these two sexually prolific girls for lack of a better term, moderately popular, who would spend gym classes flirting and basically sexually molesting? (Idk what term to use when clothes are on) this nerdy kid most days in gym. Teacher only seemed to laugh when he noticed.

      They would feel him up and tell him his balls were small or penis was crooked. It was fucked up.

        Yeah, it definitely happens for malicious reasons sometimes, in which case it would be a very bad case of bullying. In fact, it’s a particularly cruel form of psychological bullying. It’s painful for a young man to be made to feel worthless and inadequate by girls.

          As someone who went through much less bad bullying, it’s fucked up. What do you even do? Punch back? That works for same-sex bullies, but if you hit a girl hard enough to be afraid of you/have some respect for you, you’re the bad guy for hitting a girl. Ignore it? Contrary to popular belief, that makes bullies bolder, because they get to have fun without consequences. The only thing that kind of worked was avoiding bullies, and if you can’t, wait until there are no witnesses around, and then make sure to get the first good punch in, so that they’d think twice next time. Kids fucking suck. Man, am I happy to not be in school any more.

            The correct answer is to get good at math, go to college and study engineering, land a six figure job, and then circle back around and fuck her dad.

              Been there, done that, decided that I won’t slave away my remaining time on this earth in search of the mythical six figure engineering job :)

      As a middle schooler, I thought the idea of nonconsensual harassment was pretty hot. I still feel that way, but I thought it back then too.

      Still don’t think such should be tolerated just because I liked it. Also, when there’s a credible threat vs minimal in-school harassment, its a lot scarier (although its still hot).
