I personally think when the guy/girl gets intimate when you don't feel comfortable -he/she touches you where it shouldn't ......

Sexual harrasment, to me, is a sexual act (kissing, touching, groping, etc.) that is not consentual.

I consider it to be when someone starts doing intimate activities with you when you don't consent to it. Like touching you, saying dirty things to you, making you do sexual things to or with them, stuff like that.

yep. i agree. touching and all that. but also talking. cos, a lot of the time, dirty comments can be said, and that can be cosidered sexual harrassment also. i very much agree with this.

some of my teachers try to say that sexual harassment is when someone says or does anything sexual that makes you feel uncomfortable. but i don't really agree with that, because some of the students might be uncomfortable with the teachers talking about sexual harassment, but it's not considered sexual harassment when they're just talking to us about it.

i think sexual harassment is when a person (or group of people) speak or act in a sexual way toward you after you've asked them to stop.

I think its pretty hard to draw a line for verbal harassment, unless its prolonged after they've been asked to stop. But other then that its when ever the victim starts to feel uncomfortable, makes this known and continues ~ Rex

Sexual harrassment is anything that makes you uncomfortable thats in a sexual manner
thats touch or even dirty talk.

and there is no limit to when it becomes sexual harrassment. if it makes you uncomfortable iand theyve only done it once its still sexual harrassment.

note. it happens to men too.

I'd say that pretty much anything unwanted would be considered sexual harrassment. I personally don't mind people looking at me, saying "Hey, you're hot", stuff like that... But when they're like "Can't wait to be in YOUR bed tonight!" ... That's just ridiculous. So that would probably be harrassment. And of course touching without permission -- someone is getting their ass kicked. Or their penis chopped, either way. =] I'll probably get banned for that. > <;

Hmm...since it's "sexual", i'm pretty sure it's when someone tries to get sexual or touches the victim. The harrassment part is the verbal or how far the sexual is being taken.

Just making someone uncomftrable is like malesting..not sexual harrassment.

I think sexual harassment, is when a person or people make you feel uncomfortable, in a sexual way, be that touching you, talking dirty, or even just brushing up against you every now and then.

I think sexual harassment can be when a person stands very close when they talk to you, and every now and then, they touch you. This can be very uncomfortable, especially if you step back, and they follow you.

Grabbing your butt is sexual harassment, but I personally don't find this as bad as brushing against you. When it is something as obvious as grabbing downstairs, you know what it is, and you can retaliate, but when they just keep brushing your boobs/butt/waist/package it's slightly less obvious, and it's harder to know if they are actually genuine accidents, or whether they deserve the kick in the balls you're planning...

When someone talks dirty, that can kinda get you worked up, cause you don't know what they are going to do, and you don't want to be caught off your guard...

Sexual harassment is not just physical. It is verbal as well. If someone makes a sexist comment towards to you, then that can count as sexual harassment. I guarantee it.

And did you make the point that molesting isn't a form of sexual harassment?? it is a form of sexual harassment, FYI.

Anything that you don't agree to that keeps on happening after you've told the person to stop it.

I agree with the majority of everyone who's posted so far.

As soon as you begin to feel uncomfortable, or even frightened, that person has gone too far, and in my eyes it counts as harrassment.

In my opinion, it's only harrasment if you tell them to stop and they don't, If they stop when you ask them to, then I don't really see an issue with it. Or if you don't ask them to stop, then how are they supposed to know if it's bugging you?

I think it is Any crude sexual remark that they will not stop when you ask them to, any crude sexual action, such as ass grabbing (for lack of a better word), rape, grabbing...other places, or any unwanted remark/ comment about sexuality that they will not stop when you ask them to. I also think that there is, however a duble standard. Sexual haeeasment is considered uber hanis when a man does it, but is merely "an impropper action" when females do it. I think that there is NO equality in punishment for it, although males do do it more, still.......

With verbal harrasment, yes, but I think it is odvious that a girl, for example, wouldn't be stoked on having a guy feeling on her or "accidently" grabbing her ass.
