I found your blog post dealing with the study on Sexual Teasing interesting. I would like to know if you know of any research on why Sexual Teasers would go on a date with a suitor or their boyfriend and sexually tease strangers. Thank you.

That’s the only study on sexual teasing I’m aware of. It implies that teasing is one way acquaintances get to know each other to see if there might be a spark there. If you’re on a date and your partner teases one or more strangers, it could be a way to test how you feel about them, a way to see if you care. Beyond that, I just don’t know, except to say that teasing is more fun for the teaser than for those being teased. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily nasty or cruel, just that it’s insensitive—especially if you’re dating a teaser who teases someone else.
