No we can't agree on that. Spitting on someone is a degrading act whether it is consensual or not. That's the point of it. It is a symbolic act - you don't do it because it makes your mouth feel nice or it makes her back feel nice do you?
It is true that people are doing weird things the world over and many of them are disturbing and worrying. What's worrying about your story is you were surprised that she felt degraded by what you did. You should realise that people are pulling you up on it for your own good as much as for hers. It's not virtue signalling, it's concern.
A whole bunch of assumptions in what you're saying. Starting from the end and working back:
1) ."..people r pulling you up for your own good..." So you know exactly everybody else's motives for speaking out? I'd say its more likely that most pps arrived on topic as individuals and then enjoyed becoming a group to administer an abusive kicking. Makes ppl feel good to agree with each other. Now that most of the circus has moved on, its noticeable that you've become quite polite and rational. I'd bet that if the gang came back for another go then we'd go back to pretty pathetic name-calling. But hey, i'm not addressing the point. Apologies. Point is, YOU CANNOT, AND DO NOT, KNOW ANYBODY ELSE'S MOTIVATIONS. End of.
2) "...she felt degraded by what you did." Where do you get the idea she felt degraded? Of course I asked why she reacted as she did, her reply was 'I don't like it.' Thats all. WHY she didn't like it is still unknown to me and definitely unknown to you. Unless you claim to know everything in the whole known universe thats going on behind your back.
3) .".its a symbolic act." No, its not symbolic, its an act. Its symbolism is in the mind; right now, in your mind. My own mind at the time, in the act, was pretty empty. I had no particular reason for the spit, it just simply happened. Ok; she didn't like it. So on we go with the consequences of her dislike. It just isn't the biggest thing in the world. But that brings up your first point;
4) " ...is a degrading act whether its consensual or not" That is just bizarre. Are you seriously setting yourself up as a moral policeman for the rest of us? Any other no-no's you'd like to tell us not to do? I think you'd get quite a surprise at what other pps here like to get up to in perfect harmony. Any 'advice' from you and you'd certainly get your head kicked in.
The point certainly is the consensuality of it. I have no objection to someone rejecting something I do. The reason I brought the whole thing up is because the first meet between us in january went so nicely that the contrast between then and now is so striking that I really look for an explanation. And no, I wasn't looking for sympathy as someone else suggested.
