To think Ollie Murs is a disgrace based on his TikTok?

I don't generally use TikTok, but this stupid thing has been shared right across my social media.

Basically, he made a video of himself cutting the bottom out of a Pringles can. Then took a video of himself and his girlfriend watching tv, eating Pringles from the can, placed on his crotch--so eventually she reached in to find her hand on his penis, which was poked through the bottom of the can.

So, as a joke, he got her to unexpectedly touch his penis. And made a video of himself doing it. On a platform largely used by young people.

Is it just me, or is getting someone to touch your genitalia without consent actually sexual assault?

There is no age limit on having fun. They clearly find this fun in their relationship. All celebrities have a presence on social media, they are using it to create "funny" pranking videos.

So you feel a bit horny and you turn to your DH in bed and ask if you can have a chat about sex, then have a q and a about what you would each like to do, come to an agreement and then you commence contact

I usually send a letter, recorded delivery, 2-3 days prior, to book a slot for the chat about commencing contact.

Yuk, pretty disgusting IMO

I just take my top off... Grin

Responding to some of the earlier posts, no, I certainly don’t think it’s ok to post this sort of thing on social media. If he and his gf enjoy pranking each other like this then that’s their business in the privacy of their home. Putting it on social media crosses a line into being really inappropriate.

But to return to the OP: it is not sexual assault when she is clearly in on the joke; it’s staged as are all their tiktok pranks (which have been numerous since lockdown. They’re obviously bored) For all we know she may have come up with the idea... you pretend to have a Pringles tube on your cock etc It’s disrespectful to victims of sexual assault to claim that this is assault. It’s just a childish prank which was stupidly posted online

And while there are undoubtedly 10 yr olds who use tiktok, it’s designed for teenagers upwards and frankly however difficult it may be for parents to manage their kids it’s not anyone else’s responsibility

Not that I think it’s great viewing for teenagers either I hasten to add- he’s an idiot posting shit like this. But no way is it sexual assault.

Anyone in a safe, healthy, trusting relationship would never have an issue with their partner doing this

I would, because I would think how immature and pathetic it was! Which would put me right off.

1forAll74 · 05/05/2020 14:01

He seems so very childish all the time and seems to like making videos of himself being immature, clownish and stupid. Maybe he thinks he is just a fun guy, to compensate for not being a great singer,

FlowersAreBeautiful · 05/05/2020 14:06

I used to like Olly Murs and have seen him in concert. But after listening closely to the lyrics on one of his albums I'm no longer a fan - 'you say no but you mean yes' is only one of the many questionable examples on one album Hmm. He does write at least some of his own songs so not written by someone else

BackseatCookers · 05/05/2020 15:19

It depends how it's done surely. If you ask "Hi, can we chat about sex?" and then work your way up with questions, then OK.

Goodness is this a real thing?

So you never have a cuddle, start kissing and end up having sex?

Someone has to cuddle / kiss the other one first surely.

It can be mutually spontaneous for want of a better phrase.

This has really made me laugh. I’m going to tell my partner that this is how I expect him to go about things from now on. Just wondering what the ‘questions’ are? 🤔

Ittakesthree · 05/05/2020 16:04

Ultimately it depends how much consent she gave prior to filming she probably could see that his penis was in their and she probably knew what was coming not that that makes it okay for social media but it's probably not assault but if you want you could always report him to the police and see what happens! 🤷‍♀️

quietheart · 05/05/2020 16:09

@BubblyBarbara
If DH non verbally goes in with a boob squeeze or pinches my bum then he is going to get short shrift

If I stopped touching, stroking or grabbing my DH's parts unannounced he would think I'd gone off him.

So non verbally goes in? Does that mean if he grabs you and yells phoar lovely tits or whispers bend over in your ear, is that ok?

Saladaysior · 05/05/2020 16:36

@Ittakesthree I highly doubt his penis was in the Pringles tube in the first place.

Maybelatte · 05/05/2020 16:39

I think they post multiple videos a week ‘pranking’ one another and both seem to enjoy it. This is just some people’s humour, I don’t particularly understand it either but there you go.

SleepingStandingUp · 05/05/2020 16:47

Just wondering what the ‘questions’ are? 🤔
H: Would you like to have sex at 10pm?
W: Well yes, but only if sufficiently aroused.
H: How about we commence arousal at 9.30 once I've put out the bins and washedy hands
W: OK but can we start with kissing first not light petting?
H: OK, perhaps you could instigate tongue after 10 seconds?
W: OK. You are permitted to touch my breast after 1 minute. Which would you like to begin with?
H: the left one, it's slightly larger. May I alternate though every 37 seconds.
W: OK so you propose to use hands solely or to engage oral techniques?
H: Both if your in agreement after 3 rotations on each side of manual simulation. Would you perhaps touch my penis at this point?
W: yes but over pants initially until you have removed my bra
H: how would you like me to do that?
W: ill check the spreadsheet bit I think you used your left hand the lay 3 times so perhaps you could use your teeth to spice it up?

CanofCant · 05/05/2020 16:57

I really want some pringles now.

Bananabixfloof · 05/05/2020 19:07

Every word bishy posted.
It's not the act itself, it's the posting it online and normalizing it to young people. No one will ever stop assaulting women whilst this stuff is seen as the norm.

Calabasa · 05/05/2020 19:10

Doesn't bother me, I follow him on tiktok and he and his GF have been playing/filming pranks on each other the whole of lockdown.

She's done some pretty mean stuff to him too.. they're just having fun.

Release your pearls.

topcat2014 · 05/05/2020 19:22

Hope they were not paprika or that would sting (misses point..)

Washyourhandsyoufilthyanimal · 05/05/2020 19:24

I was put off him from the farting videos he did...

DC3dilemma · 05/05/2020 19:30

He does come across as pretty creepy and very exhibitionist in a kind of festishistic way. The waking up his girlfriend tik tok video seemed to be more about thrusting his barely concealed penis at his teenage audience than any prank. Gross.

NameChange84 · 05/05/2020 19:41

He does generally seem to thrust his penis about a lot. I’m not a prude but I do find it weird...it’s just not that entertaining...does he think people enjoy watching?

Megatron · 05/05/2020 19:45

I used to quite like him but the more I see of him and these ridiculous Tik Toks make me realise he's just another wanker thinking he's funny. He's not.

understandme · 05/05/2020 20:07

@BubblyBarbara yes you are being ridiculous!

Also the cries of sexual abuse, what a total load of rubbish!

Do your DHs ask for written bloody consent to have sex?
