One day, my mum was complaining about my step-father to wit: "He won't stop tantalising me!". The poor woman almost died when I clarified (really not wanting to have this conversation but yet strangely compelled) that she really meant common garden tormenting (not picking clothes off floor, leaving food out, expressing contrary poltical views etc) as opposed to any odd sexual activity. I only wonder how many of her much too polite friends she also complained to...
