Not going to offer many details on the where or how, as I don't intend to dox myself, but suffice it to say that I will continue touching butts for an extended period. I don't like feeling aroused by the act. These people placed trust in me. Trust that I mean them no harm and that I am safe to be around. I can certainly be both while aroused, but I'd rather not have to deal with this.

I'd prefer not to dissociate through work, but I can't find another way to contextualize my experiences in a way that doesn't leave me frustrated until I get home.

Amen to that! Shoving parts of yourself into a box in the back closet of your brain is a survival skill that you either pick up quick, or burn out and leave the field.

Mind you, things don't like to stray in that box, but the whole nudity bit is usually curled up like a cat in there.
