Me too!
I worked at a touchy-feely New-Age (rhymes with sewage) company (that
shall remain nameless) in the not-so-distant past. This company
required that employees attend a human-potential training course
called "Lifespring." Being a gutless wage-slave, I went, but I
brought my big mouth, loaded with satire. For the most part, this
program consists of non-stop psychic torture involving things like
the "lifeboat experiment" and sleep-deprivation-induced catharses.
However, we did have a "silent dinner" that, for me, made the whole
experience fairly memorable. In this event, for one hour, we wandered
around in complete silence, feeding each other with our hands (no
utensils were allowed). Besides being insecure and vulnerable, some
of the women in this program were drop-dead beautiful. With verbiage
verbotten, all communication took place through the eyes. Sharing
strawberries in whipped cream with gorgeous women in absolute silence
is a situation every red-blooded American male should find himself in
at least once in his life, in my arrogant opinion.

P.S. In response to the obligatory question, no, I didn't, because
I was living with the woman I will marry next summer at the
time. However, as ex-prez Jimmy said, "There was lust in my
heart."
