A few years back while in prep school our coed class was spending a week in New York City going to museums, attending lectures at NYU, etc. Despite our protests we had to wear our uniforms which, for girls, consisted of a jacket, blouse, school tie and a pleated plaid skirt which most girls wore at mini skirt height at the mid-thigh including myself. We'd start off the day on the subway during commute hours which meant we were packed in like sardines. Usually, by the time we got aboard, all the seats were taken, so we were standing with an arm above our head hanging on to a support rail or ceiling strap. My boyfriend, who I had been dating exclusively for more than a year, usually stood behind me which was fun because we'd playfully sneak in a kiss or cop a feel as discreetly as we could otherwise we'd get busted by one of the faculty leaders.
On the morning of the third day the train was packed more than usual by attractive young men and women in business suits which I learned from overhearing conversation they were attending a conference on marketing technology. There was a considerable amount of jostling around as the train moved along. At one point I felt the comfortable presence of the length of my boyfriend's body pressed against my back. A couple of minutes into the ride I felt his hand glide up inside the back of my skirt to cup my bum through my panties. During the ride he fondled me to the point that left my knees weak, breathless and a degree of horniness that topped the charts. Thank goodness he stopped fondling me several exits before our stop or I would have been a mindless puddle of hormones. Arriving at our exit station we got off. I turned to him and said, "My God, baby, you've really gotten good at this petting business...I can't wait to get you alone as soon as we can manage it!" He looked at me as if I was crazy, then his eyes widened and a look of wonder filled his face and he said, "Annie, I didn't feel you up.......for most of the ride until the crowd thinned I was standing about a yard away from you!"
The shock of the realization that I had been groped by a stranger left me almost in a state of panic. You know, feeling dizzy, choked breathing, etc. It took the rest of the day for me to calm down from this. Eventually, I was able to put it into perspective with the rationalization that while I was certainly violated there was no actual harm done. In fact, in a weird way, while chatting with my girlfriends at our hotel, it led to a lot of speculation as to the identity of this stranger with a "slow hand". Don't worry, the experience didn't leave me or my friends hankering to be molested. Nonetheless we wondered....was he cute? And then it struck us all at once, “My God, maybe the reason the petting was so well done…it was by a woman!
Regarding your situation, Victoria, if you feel uneasy, anxious, or violated please get some counseling help. No person, regardless of gender, should receive the unwelcome touch of anyone and that includes people you know as well as strangers. Do whatever is necessary to regain your peace of mind…including enrolling in a self-defense course designed for women.
Best of luck to you.
