  • Dancefloor Boner Etiquette

     

    I don't know about you guys, but I like to dance.  Dancing, to me, is an expression of joy and happiness.  It represents release, a carefree nature, just letting yourself go.  Now sometimes when I dance it is with members of the opposite sex.  This is no way diminishes the enjoyment I get while dancing and, in fact, sometimes it increases it.  This can run the gamut from goofy freestyle dance-offs to straight-up sexy dancing.

    Now what's sexy dancing you ask?  Sexy dancing is the kind of dancing frequently featured at high school dances or in R. Kelly songs.  Now I didn't attend high school dances because ours happened to be hosted in our cafeteria and the idea of paying $5 to dance in a cafeteria just didn't have that much allure, especially since for a while I had a secret girlfriend (not a euphemism for my hand) that didn't go to our high school.

    But at college parties and in bars and clubs I have, as mentioned earlier, found myself doing some of what is referred to as grind-dancing or, simply, grinding.  I wouldn't say I'm a particularly good dancer, but I am spirited.  As a result, I sometimes find myself dancing with girls who can expertly move their lower halves and this, in turn, can result in increased bloodflow to my nether-regions.  I have some friends and they admit to periodically having similar experiences; so no more hiding from it, I'm talking about the dancefloor boner.  At some point in our lives it becomes an inevitability and so, through careful scientific research and polling (two "l's," again, not a euphemism) of random females and ex-lovers alike I have devised "Dancefloor Boner Etiquette" to help any of you who may find yourselves in this position in the future.

    When you're going out for a night on the town with the potential for sexy dancing, a good first step is to deck yourself out in boxer-briefs or straight briefs, as opposed to boxers, as they will aid you somewhat in crime prevention.  Failing this, of course, there is still plenty of precautionary work you can do.  When you feel the rumbling begin, plan a brief dance floor turning movement.  Girls like to have your backside at their frontside from time-to-time and in this moment you can execute the tuck rule which, lest you are unfamiliar, is to raise your friend to full mast and trap or, "tuck," him in place behind your waistband. 

    But maybe you don't have the slickness to execute the move.  Since you probably don't want to exit the dancefloor and compromise a prospect (though some have been known to say they are going to "get some fresh air," or something to that effect, which can occasionally result in early leaving time if your prospect decides to come with), there is always the Ron Burgundy method.  As I said, I've spoken to real live girls before (usually for $1.80+ per minute, but still) and some admit to being flattered by feeling a little extra something when you're dancing real close, especially when it's more than a little extra.

    So don't back down or show fear. If the girl seems thrown for a loop just say, "sorry, that's never happened to me just from dancing before; I've never met a girl who can move like you do."  Not only will she be doubly flattered by this — and women love to have their egos stroked — she will be able to sense that your statements were connected by a semicolon and girls find good grammar and punctuation incredibly sexy.  Even if you use it incorrectly there is a good chance she'll be impressed with your effort.

    Of course, if she truly looks disgusted and walks away, all you need to do is say, "Hey baby, don't flatter yourself, that wasn't from dancing with you, it was from looking at that guy [point at another guy in the bar]."  Girls, as I said, love to be flattered, but they really hate to be told they're nothing special.  Girls are competitive about guys, so losing out to another girl for your interest is bad enough, but losing out to a guy just doubles the blow. 

    Got any dancefloor boner experiences of your own?  How did you handle them?
