NO! NO! NO! Dancin' is because of the fun of it, the enjoyment of moving
together to the music, interpreting it and the moment.

As woman will feel if a man is only interested in this part a man will feel
it vice versa! And avoid dancing with the counterpart for the future.

Of course sexually attractive moments can arise, but uncomfortable for at
least one side of it if one part of the couple is coming to the milonga with
the tongue allready hanging out ... . If those moment just arise out of a
situation, perhaps to the great surprise of both parts of the couple, that can be
very nice and interesting. And as long as both know (and respect) that with
the next tanda this will be over I'd consider that that can be a comfortable
"kick" for both of them!

Wishing joyfull dances to everyone!
Christian
