Speak for yourself. The fact that I was known to associate with sado-masochistic strippers at the coffee house where I hung out late at night didn't mean that I got involved with them physically/romantically... Though it WAS fun to win bets with unsuspecting rubes that I could walk up and grope two in the ass without getting slapped (having been their late night masseur for months previously, I just walked up, explained the bet, and groped, eliciting a hug afterwards, as well as a dropped jaw from the guy who made the bet).
