I think I was more or less propositioned just now.

My wife had a load of leather and suede trousers and I have listed them all online. Yesterday I received a message from a guy who asked if it would be possible to try them on before buying them. He also asked if I had any 1990s vintage nylon shorts from Adidas, etc.

He arrived in his pickup wearing leather trousers and as I found out a couple of minutes later shiny nylon shorts. He tried them on but as I expected they were too small. I have three more pairs but one pair was too small and the others too big. The thing is that as he was trying on the ones that were too small he made no attempt to tuck his cock inside the trousers.

After he had tried them on we chatted a bit about how long I'd been in Norway and how he had lived not far from here as a youth. As the conversation wound down he said something like "I like boys in leather, and it's a pity you don't.". I could only shake my head and smile. If I had been alone in the house i think i would have corrected him, but No. 2 son is upstairs.

Must be very safe there in Norway. Can’t imagine letting a stranger come to my home under those circumstances.

@OlderSometimesWiser Really? Your profile says Mozambique; is that really where you are? And wherever you are, is it really so dangerous? Or is it that it is dangerous specifically for women?

Anyway, it never occurred to me that inviting someone in to try on clothes could be a problem. I wouldn't expect it to be a problem in the UK either although my sister who lives there definitely thinks otherwise and is reluctant to even give her telephone number to anyone.

@ninalanyon Lol….. I am elsewhere. Not a particularly unsafe place but still risky to invite a total stranger into my home to try on clothes. Yes, being a woman does play a part in that feeling of vulnerability and need to play it safe. And/or maybe I just watch too many crime shows on television. 🙂

@OlderSometimesWiser Women have also visited to try things on before buying, none of them looked nervous. None of them propositioned me either :-(

So yes, I think Norway is safe, and also people here feel safe. Of course it does depend a little on which part of the country you are in but I have visited people in several towns to buy things and also to deliver things that I have sold both to men and women; none seemed at all concerned to have me in their homes.

Part of this comes from a lack of class and economic distinction I think. While we definitely still have poor people here they are generally not poor in the same sense as they are in say the UK or US, nor are they living such precarious lives (exceptions exist of course, it's not a utopia). So I think there are fewer people with nothing to lose and fewer people who feel the need to lash out.

@ninalanyon I think your last sentence sums it up very well. The disparity here between the “haves” and the “have nots” seems to only be getting bigger, leaving people angry, frustrated and willing to take desperate measures just to get by. Makes our world riskier and scarier, and leaves us feeling the need to take precautions and be on guard.
