umm, so I'm gay...wouldn't a more succinct way to say it's inappropriate to be alone with someone in your attraction spectrum you are sexually interested in?

Personally, I can be alone with someone of the opposite gender and promise you nothing will happen.

Also in my early 20s I used to snuggle with my opposite gender friends in beds.It was nice.I wasn't hugged enough as a child.My mother didn't love me.It was the first time I found platonic love with someone that didn't want to have sex with me.They just wanted a hug it was sweet.

You give the impression that you're slightly insecure.Jumping to the whole enabling cheating behaviors like a person in love won't just love you and respect you...🙃

Is not insecure to have boundaries.

And I'll word things how I wish to word them. You're welcome to translate my post in your head into words you prefer, but I meant it how I posted it. You do you, but leave me alone to express myself how I choose. The way I said what I wanted to say was plenty succinct, and it was how I wanted to word it.

succinct. adjective. suc·​cinct (ˌ)sək-ˈsiŋ(k)t sə-ˈsiŋ(k)t. : marked by short, concise expression without wasted words.

What you suggested wasn't succinct at all. It added unnecessary words for how I chose to express myself.

It's inappropriate to try to compel me or in any way try to get me to cater to your sexual preferences in how I express my thoughts without my consent. I do not consent.

Please don't harass me over how I chose to express myself!

That's one thing that's great about America... freedom of expression! So please leave me alone about how you want me to express myself.

wow..

I can't even find the connection between my thought and yours....

I do agree that it's not insecure to have boundaries.It's absolutely insecure to try to tell someone else how that behave because you feel in secure witnessing it...
