then have the person wanting to do the touching be the one to wear
it. People who wish to participate can then GO TO THEM.

Not the other way around. NEVER the other way around.


Agreed, to both points. Which was one of the tenets of the original project, for that matter. That to show your willing involvement in it, you wore a button. It was an easily-understood signal that you were interested in it.

If you weren't interested you weren't required to do anything to show it. It was the default!

I'm probably not going to get this across, but while the original project was a hell-splosion of error and fail, the idea certainly has merit.

The fact is, people were threatened just KNOWING they were at the convention where it was going on.

which is a REAL strong support of the idea 'not being ready for prime time'. The presence of a clear signal of willingness to explore sex on other people should not be threatening or coercive to people who do not share that willingness.

Obviously, it is threatening. And to a pretty large amount of people, judging from the responses to the original OSBP post. Therefore - failure of idea, time to cease pushing it.
