(I do love having to throw in all those disclaimers to discuss this) It's not irony, quite, but it's something "here we go again, I have to defend the point by showing how normal I am," isn't it?
I would just deeply resent being put in a position myself of looking like the odd person out, Oh, yeah. Big time. Just saying, "I don't want a button at ALL, thank you," would take cojones in that situation, and that makes me unhappy, imagining the peer pressure. Even if you don't want to participate because you feel comfortable and secure in your touch or intimacy issues and don't need the extra validation or whatever, you know?
