I'm a gay man, and I don't like it either. I've written about this from time to time, and maybe it's time to do it again. Just because I'm gay does not mean I have issued an open invitation for random strangers to send me dick pics, to comment intimately about my physical appearance, to ask to hook up, or inquire if I want to get up to some hot sexting.

I'm working, tabernac!

Don't people know what boundaries and appropriate spaces are? Look, I'm sex positive. I'm not a prude. I've lost count of the number of sexual partners I've had because it's ridiculously high.

But that doesn't mean that when I'm at work I'm looking for random men to walk right up (as it were) and start intimate conversations and make explicit sexual suggestions.

It's certainly doesn't mean I want random photos of their genitals.

This is a serious "men" problem. I know if I were a woman, I would feel a lot worse about it. But even as a man, I am more than simply annoyed. This stuff is creepy. If somebody feels entitled to do things like that in a professional online environment, I can imagine the sorts of things they might feel entitled to do in person.

It doesn't bear thinking about.
