I've had men walk up behind me and do that. As a man, it doesn't bother me. I don't look at it as a sexual gesture. I'm not quite that hard-up. And then men who did it were perfectly straight. I don't see what the big deal is. You asked some good questions.

Thanks. When I saw the ping, I was pepared to feel crawdads wrath over my questioning.

I know what you mean.

I remember when I started my career and me and my "newbies" we would sometimes have to work 16-18 a day trying to finish projects. We would be hold up in big conference rooms, tables covered in pizza boxes, gallons of coffee/soda, and often times our senior partner would come in a give us a pep-talk. Sometimes we would even walk up behind us and give us a 10-15 second neck message; to the guys and girls. You know, it was one of the "keep up the good" work type things. Nobody thought of it as sexual. He was very charismatic and everyone like him.

We always called him the Ragin' Cajun since he was from the bayou's outside of Baton Rouge. So maybe it is more a Southern thing.
