If they are not brothers or father/son, then probably. :razz:

Uh, oh...I guess I have some repressed issues to deal with, then. :redface:

For some reason this thread makes me think of the "foot massage" debate in Pulp Fiction.

Why wouldn't it be acceptable??

It's acceptable outside of the LDS church environment, and within...and rightly so. We have couples scratching/rubbing backs, yeah? It's no more 'disturbing' than if they sat there holding hands.

It amazes me, that we have parents rubbing children's backs, and detractors here have no issue with it, yet if couples do it, it's somehow inappropriate sexual action??

Good grief!

I find it inappropriate in church, most likely because it's not something I've seen people doing in church but it is something I've seen countless people do in bars.

I have never seen one guy scratch another guys back during Priesthood meeting.
If they are not related (as above) or in a same sex relationship then I would find that a very disturbing (maybe a bit creepy) situation.

Perhaps you should pay more attention, then...I just saw it at work the other day.
