I had a coworker a couple years ago (korean/married ajuma style) who, about half way through my contract, started "putting/resting" her hand on my ass. It started with the odd slap. Then after a few slaps she would just rest her hand on my bottom while we talked, or would rub my butt with her hand.

it didn't really bother me...i figured it wasn't meant to be threatening or any kind of sexual advance.... just a weird show of affection.

Has anyone else had really strange kinds of affection shown towards them?

Maybe she wanted to go up the Khyber Pass.

It's true....

Happened to me at a hogwan once....but then a better looking teacher came along and she started rubbing him!

what a great set of replies...

i WAS the only male teacher.
as for sexually frustrated? hard to say, she was a few months pregs and just sorta starting to show. i doubt her husband was givin' it up.
anyways, it was 2 years ago...i just thought of it cause my present coteacher is also kinda touchy feely (though no bum yet.)
to test the boundaries...(when she had started to rest her hand on my butt) i gave her hass a few soft slaps and the like.... by the third one, she was giving me "weird" looks so i thought....time to stop.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I go to public baths, sometimes with friends. It is common for them to reach over and scrub your back while you are showering. And expect reciprocal favors. My Korean friend says you can ask a stranger to scrub your back. I've never gone that far.

And it's very common, when the bar is crowded, for a friend to rest his hand on my thigh when we're talking. I've gotten over the shock of that.

Accept the advances, but I would advise against you ever attempting to initiate physical contact like that in a work environment, unless you're already schtabbin' it.
