As a female first time visitor to NYC who rode on a packed subway train a few days ago, I would like to add my $.02 to this thread, even though I see that the OP started it several months ago and may not be checking back in anymore.
DH and I rode a very packed train from the Wall St. station up to Grand Central in the middle of the afternoon. Being newbies to the city and not coming from an area where we ride a subway or even have subways, it didn't occur to us to wait for a less crowded train because we were focused on just getting on the right train to get us where we needed to go, so we just jumped on when the doors opened. I was immediately pressed up against a male passenger and as the doors closed, I was smashed even harder into the back of him as more people pressed on behind us. I was literally the bologna in a human sandwich with that passenger and DH being the bread, so to speak. Did I have any desire to have my "female frontal anatomy" pressed up against a stranger on a subway train? Nope. Did I think I had a choice? Nope. Could I be considered "well endowed"? Unfortunately for my upper back, yes. Did I ride all the way to Grand Central that way? Didn't have any options at all, short of trying to do a 180 degree turn so that I could at least have that part of my anatomy pressed up against DH instead but then that would have meant that our faces would also have been pressed up against each other and that would have just been weird.
Long story short, perhaps the woman who pressed up against the OP was a novice subway rider like me and just didn't know what else to do. With as many tourists as we saw while we were in your great city, both foreign and domestic, and with the number of them I saw trying to figure out the Metro Card machine and which train they needed to get on, AKA, showing their lack of subway know how, it is very possible that many of these cases are not at all someone trying to titillate a stranger but just someone who is clueless like us and a million other tourists. I know I had no desire whatsoever to have any such effect on the guy in front of me, it didn't even occur to me. If he liked it, well then I guess I gave some random New Yorker a cheap thrill so bully for me!
