The Progress Pride flag is right there for that purpose.

I understand not wanting to be used on tap like that.

Like, "hey I'm over my depth here and I trust you" is very different from "I'm bored I bet I could lay that guy", which is more what it sounds like.

So, it makes a ton more sense once you've been the person trying to get somebody to take the lead in an intimate physical encounter.

A big part of the dynamic there is that as the person who wants to concede the initiative, you want to make sure that the other person is really actually committed to the thing you're thinking about. Getting kissed by someone who's thinking about smash bros isn't fun.

You know how there's a trope where it's satisfying for a beloved to be able to wipe their lover's mind of anything else by looking them in the eyes a certain way? That sense of being desired in a compelling way is really important for a lot of people.

So, when somebody makes a gesture like that, it's intended to hit different depending on where you are chemically. If you had been completely beguiled at that point, you probably would have goggled and stammered like Don Knotts and she would have said something like "come here, sit down".

And we all know that some people trying to get off will absolutely fake that level of interest. I think it might make sense for people looking for a longer term connection to find themselves doing this, cause one of the fastest ways to fall in love is to have emotionally connected sex.

I was once at a woman's place and we had talked for a while and ended up on her bed with her in underwear and a bra, lying with her head on my arm and her hand on my chest, she says "I'm horny" and I think "oh whoops I better head out so she can get herself off" and LEFT.

Useless lesbian, right? But also, maybe it's better that the two of us didn't have sex, because I didn't really feel compelled to, she wouldn't have wanted to unless I had felt that way, and now we can see each other around and we might feel a little awkward around each other but we didn't get into a mismatched situation in terms of investment that night (I think?).

I've been in other similar situations where I didn't particularly care what the other person's emotional state was and just asked them to do what I wanted done to me.

This is all subconscious in nearly all cases imo, I've just been doing this a long time.

Good to know that straight men do this too, cause this is an absolutely classic lesbian scenario.

Musicians and actors tend to get plenty of dates if they want them, I don't think this is some utopian thing.

Starting a band to meet girls in high school/college is a trope for a reason.
