These comments got me confused, yes John touches someone on the back, but like the back isn't sexually motivated?? All the answers are not harassment perse, at least not without some extra context. But when I read the comments I think that you all are just extra touch sensitive (possibly because of some worse experiences or with extra context, which is fair - don't get me wrong)
The back is where the butt is! We all know how that kind of thing ends!
The digestive tract "ends" at the butt, so what are you implying?
The commenters may be a tad sarcastic in their comments
every action that does not have a commercial purpose is inherently sexual, and therefore any such activity that is not allowed by the other person is sexual harassment.
however, you cannot ask another person what they are fine with because asking is in itself an activity and therefore potentially sexual harassment. so you'd have to ask the person first whether you can ask them ...
It’s called a joke, mon ami.
Thank you T_T
