Grope This!

Many have Groped in all kinds of situations. Is a consensual groping caught on film any better? To someone viewing  a groping photo, how are they to know the groping is consensual or not? 

If Al Franken was dumb enough to pose for a photo while groping a fellow colleague without their consent, how can we ever know when a grope photo is consensual, or not? If we don't know when a grope is consensual or not, then shouldn't groping someone in a photo be a no no even if consent was granted? Groping photos send the wrong message whether the Grope Photo was consensual or not, no?






DailyPUMA says, Grope This. News alert, Women have groped men. There are some very happy fellows walking around who had sex initiated by a female that came up to them at a party and simply groped the young man's privates and minutes later they were humping away.

Should DailyPUMA start a "I groped a Man without their permission" twitter account since DailyPUMA was groped once by a complete stranger, aka female stranger.

A very odd situation to say the least. Had walked to the store for a friend and on my way back was holding a container of milk in one hand and some type of Soda Beverage in the other hand. DailyPUMA was literally not armed, but over armed holding onto Liquid products in both hands when a woman jumped out of a car and ran up to me and groped me, it was a Drive By Groping. I had no way to defend myself without dropping my Beverage Goods.

The weird part was, the car she popped out of was a convertible and I recall there were three girls, but there really wasn't room for a fourth person. So if DailyPUMA had accepted the grope, where to go, on the back on top of the trunk? Even skrunched in the back, would DP have been dropped off 10 miles away Post Grope

It was a Grope with no way for a happy ending. She actually followed me too for awhile first, so it was a Stalk and a Grope. The whole thing was creepy, annoying, silly, and even salacious all at the same time. 

Maybe the consensual contracts some colleges want their students to sign before engaging in intimacy on campus isn't such a dopey idea. At the end of the "day", I would not trade a grope and more for being dropped off 10 miles from where I was with no way to get back, (this was before Uber, way before Uber).

So as the "We are all victims movement grows", lets not forget the men. DailyPUMA knows of a very successful B-Movie lead man who was denied a lead role in an A-Movie by a gay casting director or director, do not recall which, who refused to cast him in a lead role he had been offered if the actor did not go to bed with the gay casting director. The successful B-Movie lead man did not accept, and he was basically shut down from advancing into A-Movies because people who do bad things talk to others who do bad things and they do punish those who reject them.

My Actor friend even refuses to publicize what happened to him even though it probably meant the loss of a truly profitable career. But hey, that's what men are for, to be blamed for all that is wrong while they keep quiet about what was done wrong to them. 

However, the Me Too Movement is still a good thing to have occurred as it was way over due. 

DailyPUMA still recalls the Sixty Minutes Hollywood segment back in the late 80's or 90's in which Joel Thurm, a Casting Director, ended the segment by stating "I heard of a well known actress who had to masturbate in front of the producer before being cast for a part". 

Is it possible that Thurm was talking about Harvey Weinstein and the incident occurred sometime in the eighties or nineties. Incredibly, no follow up was ever done by Sixty Minutes. Apparently no law enforcement division called Sixty Minutes or Joel Thurm to find out what he knew. 

What if it had been Weinstein that Thurm was talking about back then, Weinstein could have been stopped 20 or 25 years sooner.
