Resurrexi Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Grinding is a type of close partner dance where two or more dancers rub their bodies (especially the genitalia) against each other in a sexually suggestive manner.
MissyP89 Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Not necessarily. I'd say the same thing about kissing or backrubs or whatever. Does it arouse? Does it lead to temptation for either party? My answer would vary accordingly. I've done it before at dances, just being silly with my girl friends and a gay friend (before I was Catholic). It wasn't a sexual thing for anyone involved...was it classy? Not really. But it wasn't like we were trying to get aroused by it.
Nihil Obstat Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I'm wavering between grave and not, but I'd certainly say sinful.
zunshynn Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I think it certainly objectively grave matter because it's scandalous, even if the people doing it aren't aroused by it. The whole point of it is to be sexually suggestive and really, it's mocking sexuality, so it's degrading in and of itself. But I think that probably doesn't occur to a lot of people that do it, so it would probably be venial in most cases.

Brigid Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 where did you get that definition? "close partner dance" I think it's definitely grave matter, but that doesn't mean it's a mortal sin (because it depends on full knowledge/consent). I didn't like the choice between venial and grave matter (because it could be both, and I can't judge whether it's venial or mortal), so I nulled.

Sad. My teachers hated chaperoning school dances because of that. My French teacher, who had a somewhat risque sense of humor, used to trick new teachers into chaperoning dances for her and then she'd take their football and basketball games. Even the dances we had in junior high were gross, if I remember correctly. I mean... maybe the days when the boys stood on one side and the girls stood on the other staring at each other were lame, but why did it have to go to the absolute opposite extreme? Nasty...
MissyP89 Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Yeah, prom does = grinding. Really, "dancing" today is being held around the waist by someone and moving. It's like spooning standing up, more or less. I was talking to Phil about dances and this thread, and it called to mind a couple who were dancing, making out, and touching each other inappropriately all at once. Oh man, it was gross. And people wonder why I'm so anti-PDA!
Jesus_lol Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 umm rubbing genitals? normally not. people try to avoid sporting large erections in pubic places. dancing back to front up close is more normal. it pretty fun

I had more fun at the last school dance to which I went dancing modestly with my girlfriend that I would have if I had been grinding like most of the other people.

When was the last school dance that you went to? 20 years ago?
