Bears love picnic baskets.My experience from going to several Bear Runs and suchhas been that it is usually fine to touch. For most it is the sameas getting a compliment. But like in all situations not all carefor it and if they say no, be respectful and stop.
exactly - and bring snacks
I am overly polite and more often than not will ask first. It helps that I have a husband with no filter. If he touches them first and they don't object, then I know I am good to go. LOL However, things are quite different when the rubbing is going the other way. No need to ask. Just do it! Unless someone is super creepy, I welcome touching and hugs at anytime from anyone. I REALLY love belly and chest rubs and love having my fur patted a little. :)
IMHO, I always ask if it's okay to touch him first. Some men are funny about being touched, or they may be partnered and don't want their "hus-bear" to get the wrong impression. So, when in doubt, ask him.
I really don't like to be touched by strangers. So petting me without asking is a big NO with me. I may even get angry with it. If you ask on the other hand, there is quite a chance that I would allow you to. And don't make it sexual, or we will have some problems. I know it sounds somehow aggressive, but in reality I'm quite calm. Just ask me first!

I agree, I expect everyone clothed or unclothed to respect my personal space.

Now I feel better. Knowing that I am not a rude exception....
I had never though of this before but it's a good question! I am a furry bear and, when nude, am almost always lightly unconsciously stroking my furry chest or belly or pubic fur. I think that if it's someone I've never met before they should ask. I'd almost always say yes. LOL! Someone who is already a friend should just start petting me and no need to ask.
