Excellent article! I agree, the tone of the article was great -- refreshingly free of exaggerated condescension or dwelling on how perverted everyone who visits the site must be.
Thank you for posting the link
This is exactly what prompted me to post it here. I love that an editor can write such a light-hearted and informative paper on a subject like this.
I am gonna say something very obvious but there will always be people who will call others perverts. There will always be people who will find S&M, tickling, even feet, repulsive. There was quite a stir when MMA female star Julie Kedzie (whom I respect enormously) went on a rant against the creation of her Wikifeet page.
Yet, never (except once, and it did not affect me in the slightest) have I had to face a big prejudice regarding my fantasies. Foot fetish itself came out of the closet long ago; when girls find out I have a foot fetish, they just go like: "Oh, so you're one of those? Okay!". I even encountered the hilarious case when a female friend of mine was constantly sending me pics of her feet asking me if her polish, pedicure or footwear were alright, dubbing me a "specialist" in the matter
As for tickling, most girls find it kind of cute, although I do stand somewhat on the hardcore side of things.
What I am trying to say is, for one condescending jerk out there, there is almost always a caring, fun-loving and intellectually curious person like I believe the article's author to be.
