LT, I don't intend this as a criticism but I think the imposition was maybe that he sensed that you felt entitled to ask him to do something with his body and had an expectation that he would just do it - as if he's a puppet on a string. I don't think it was about standing itself - as I think he said, he didn't want to be controlled.
