I won't even touch the bellies of pregnant women I know or am friends with, and if anyone ever touched my pregnant belly I'm pretty sure my brain to mouth filter would fail and I'd end up screaming, "I WILL EAT YOUR SOUL IF YOU EVER TOUCH ME AGAIN."
*ahem*
Or maybe if I ever get knocked up I'll just get this in a maternity size.Comment

Now you can't say that. You may be able to say 'everyone I've ever met physically', but not a blanket 'everyone I've ever met'.Quoth Hyena Dandy View Post
I HATE having my belly rubbed. It hurts. Yes, as in sheer physical pain.Seshat's self-help guide:
1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

I've never felt an urge to rub a prellie(a term I just made up, although it sounds like something an Australian might say.)
Is there some superstition about rubbing prellies? Is it supposed to cure warts, make hair grow/not grow, make you win the lottery without even buying a ticket, give you green lights for your next trip, give/take away getting pregnant mojo, or what?
It can't be explained by malice or stupidity. Someone please explain the appeal to me.Comment

heh, my wife is pregnant with our first baby and this is her biggest pet peeve (I just emailed this to her actually).
Our plan is when someone rubs her belly she will either 1.) if its a girl, rub the girl's chest in return. 2. if its a boy, claim she is not pregnant and get severly fake offendedComment

I dont know why you would even touch someone you dont know, period. Its unacceptable regardless of circumstance.
I didnt mind belly rubs, BUT you had to at least be friends or family. If not....*hyaahhhh* Karate chop at the wrist...Comment

Fine, to be more accurate, everyone I've ever mentioned belly rubs to has said they like it. Except people on here.Hey, Hyena Daddy, how do you KNOW they like having their belly rubbed, and aren't just tolerating it to be polite?
That said, pregnant or not, don't just walk up to someone and rub their belly. That's rude, and inappropriate.Childrenofthenight.Thecomicseries.com/comics/latest

K thats just creepy. I wouldn't touch anyone w/out their permission unless it was someone i know very well. or to keep someone steady if they looked like they were gonna fall or trip or whatever.
But... creepy old people (generally creepy old men) are creepy simply cuz they think 'im old and shit myself daily so i can get away with ANYTHING I WANT'Common sense... So rare it's a goddamn superpower.Comment

To the creeps everywhere who think its appropriate to feel up the pregnant bellies of women they don't know, I'd like to introduce them to this mother:
I'm sure she'd appreciate a good ovipositor er, I mean belly rub. I'm even more sure she'd introduce you to her children, to "welcome" you into the family

Luckily, I have never encountered a perfect stranger touching my belly when I'm pregnant, and I'm 7 months along with my fourth baby.
I have had people that know me politely ask if they could feel the baby kick, but I can usually tell them the baby isn't kicking right now and they back off if I don't feel like getting groped.
I'm not quite sure what I would do if some stranger tried that with me, but it would probably involve jail time.

Ditto. Excellent, excellent comic. Any idea of they plan to continue it, or are working on another project? I got thru it in an evening or two, and I am seriously considering reading the "commentary with spoilers" version that follows it >_>Quoth Megg View Post
