Em Es said:I have seen more than one tickling letters in DEAR ABBY and ANN LANDERS. But one I came close to memorizing was:
"Dear Abby, I need your help in a hurry. My boyfriend loves to tickle me! It started out as a game. But now every time we're together he holds me down and tickles me until I'm hoarse from screaming and my lungs ache. I'm real ticklish on my stomach, ribs and the bottoms of my feet, and that's what he goes for."
The response want something like:
"Your 'friend' is sadistic. Tell him you will not tolerate this anymore and if he lays one tickling finger on you, leave."
Mimi said:Actually, she was not a bitch for advising that. If that girl disliked being tickled, and her boyfriend continually tickled her to a point that would make her hoarse and sore, that is non-con and quite frankly, abusive. No one should ever have anything inflicted upon them that causes them that much misery. It's cruel.

My younger sister was once tied to her bed and tickletortured by her drunk ex-husband....tickled until she passed out. It wasn't consentual....it was sadistic...intentional torture inflicted on an 18 yr old girl by a cowardly abusive SOB (he also beat her with a hammer and poured lighter fluid on the bed...threatened to set the bed on fire; to burn her alive...all while she was bound and gagged
Tickling can be fun....can be wonderful between two consenting adults, but when abused, it can be just as torturous as a beating (in fact, my little sis once told me she'd rather be beaten than tickled against her will).
Knox The Hatter said:I actually read a letter to Ann Landers a few years ago, while sitting over my breakfast in a diner, from a woman who's husband had developed a strong taste for playing tickling games with his teenage nieces. She called tickling 'goofy and stupid', or something like that.
Know what's goofy? Reading who Archie Bunker used to call "Dear Aybie" and her late sister every day and thinking it offers a primer on how to live your life. God Bless America.
