    Hey baby, you can serve me anyday! A discussion on Catcalling


    We've all been there at some point in our life, walking down the street minding our own business when BAM! out of no where a lewd remark flies through the air right at you. It comes in all shapes and forms, from the construction worker on the street, to the college boy in the bar....the infamous catcall. Some women see it as demeaning, where others find it a bit empowering. A new article on CNN.com inspired by Holly Kearl's thesis on street harassment discusses both opinions, now I'd like to hear from the women on Shine.

    How did a catcall experience make you feel?

    Also I want to know why it's ok for "good looking" guys to do it but not for "unattractive" guys, I use quotations on those words because everyone's taste is different. Do you think that sends bad mixed messages to guys, and may even discourgage them when it comes to asking women out? And I'm talking mainly about the verbal aspect, not including the guys who fondle themselves in front of you also because we all know that is just plain creepy and wrong no matter who does it.

    I'd also like to hear from the guys on Shine. How do you feel about women doing the catcalling at men?

      Haha thanks, yeah I'm a little unconventional. I view sex as just plain sex, completely seperate from love. So if for some odd strange reasons I'm not interested in sex or can't have sex then I'm perfectly find with him finding release somewhere else.

      Thanks for your recent comment on my sex blogs. One thing I really hate about this topic is that people everywhere type in "sex" or "technique" and up pops my column. I make no bones about it: My column is sponsored by Good Housekeeping, then syndicated here at Shine. It's not like I can write about major details and positions. And even if I could, I wouldn't. My view of sex is one from a connection point first. Not that that is the only way to have sex. Women like you are more physically oriented first, and that's totally fine. My beef is when people search for sex, get my site, then get all pissed off when I don't serve up the porn or details they were looking for.

      Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you and will check in w/your stuff too!

      I love your blogs Andrea! They give a nice balance with the homebased relationship among all the sex posts hehe.

      I love it when a girl takes initiative and calls me out. Rarely happens, so when it does- it's really nice

      Hi - I just read some of yoru comments. Wow, you are way more open minded than I am on the sex front. I'm kind of stuck in the middle of very conventional thoughts and more wild ones (and actions, too, of course.)

      As for the catcalling, I hate it. I really do. It makes me feel like such an object. I don't care if the guy is cute or ugly. It's just so one dimensional. I know I'm prudish in this thinking, but sex is so much more than just a body and looks. It's about connection. To me, anyway.

      Take it easy!!!! Thanks for the fun post.

      On the topic of cat calls, I’ve had female coworkers who would act as if they are repulsed by the men doing the calling but then tell everyone about it multiple times as if to brag that the men cannot keep their eyes off of them. I know it sounds far fetched as a male but I’ve been on the receiving end of quite a few cougar calls myself and it doesn’t really affect me in any positive or negative way. I’m sort of the quite guy whom many women seem to enjoy making uncomfortable by continually making sexual innuendos too. At work I’ve received many comments around groups of female coworkers after which they all jokingly laugh, but on more than one occasions one of those women will approach me later and make a more serious suggestion (my female boss asked me how much money it would take to get me to sleep with her). I think the reason all the calls and suggestions continuity is I rarely respond, usually I just laugh along with them or make some joke back. I admit it’s a good ego builder but I think women want what they cant have (I’m married). There is an older woman who works at a restaurant across the street who will actually yell suggestive comments from the other side of the road as I go to work. Women are just as outgoing and perverse as men in many cases. Like I said before I don’t get a rush from it nor does it offend me, the attention is nice but its not like I’m going to respond(although I have been tempted).
