For me it's the idea that you can judge if someone is ticklish based on their race, ethnicity, gender, hair color or personality. Another is someone not having a ticklish reaction in a non tickling situation is an accurate enough assessment of their ticklishness. "She sat on one of those vibrating massage chairs and didn't even smile. Definitely not ticklish."

Beliefs about tickling that should die in 2019.

It would be really great if people stopped believing it was ok to post "candid" photos of women in public for other dudes to beat off to.
Between geocodes embedded in photos, reverse image searches, and the ever-expanding technology of facial recognition, the potential for harm is one that should make one pause and think.
In my opinion, it is just horrible and I will never stop pointing it out as long as mods let it occur.

It's even worse than that. Sometimes, they actually comment on how great the stuff is until someone goes "wait a second..."
Specifically, it truly annoys me to see people taking random photos of people's feet in public and going "LOOK AT THESE SEXY FEET GAIZ!", and you have many (including some of our "best" regulars) going "OMG THEY LOOK SO GREAT FOR TICKLING AND WORSHIP! PLZ POST MORE!". Even worse, when you call them out they just go "HOW DARE YOU JUDGE ME ON A FORUM!"
I don't see it ending anytime soon, with the only way it happening being something that verifies who someone is, something that will never be a thing.

I hate hearing about how some races are more ticklish than others. rubbish I say.
There was a series of images over a period of days, all taken in the same cafe / restaurant, by the same person, of the same female. The geocode was still in the image so I emailed the establishment with the link and the pics, warning them of this dude's behavior.

There are a surprising number of men who have come to believe that women aren't ticklish or their feet aren't because they've been spending too much time looking at bad acting on Pornhub. How someone who spends any time in the real world could think such a thing is beyond me
Interesting thread. Hopefully it remains honest and respectful.
Agreed with OP on judging ticklishness based on other traits, but similarly, I would like to see an end to the fallacy that once gender, age group, etc, can be regarded as inherently better ticklers. Anybody who gives proper attention to the person they are tickling, and who genuinely enjoys doing it, can potentially be an amazing 'ler.
Also, just got done saying it in another thread, but the belief, rarely explicitly stated, but more often demonstrated in attitude, that f/m is "gay." A man can be submissive, and it doesn't mean he's gay, or a sissy, or that there's anything else unusual about him.
Another myth I'd love to see dispelled is that tickling is always a sexual act. Not that anybody says such, necessarily, but so often in threads about topics related to who somebody wants to tickle or be tickled by (tickling friends, tickling people of the same gender, tickling people you don't necessarily find attractive, etc.) it seems to be very hard for people for whom it's a sexual act to be capable of stepping out from behind that lens and see that for some people, it's not always, or is not at all, sexual. Yes, this is a fetish forum, and yes, there are rules disallowing minors, but this alone does not validate the idea that tickling always has to be about sex.
Lastly the "it's all about me" belief... Many times I have been reading a story or viewing materials that are not foot-centric, and people have come on that thread saying, "Nice pic/story, but why not feet??" There have been threads about m/m material, and people will sometimes view and post on those threads just to say "Ew." I hardly read threads about video content anymore, because there seems to be more criticism of the "bad" videos than talk about the good stuff, and most of it just seems subjective to me. If you are lucky enough that your tastes are among a majority, and generally already catered to on this site, I don't understand why you would take time out of your day to criticize or comment on things you genuinely don't like. If the title of the thread implies it's not for you, it's perfectly okay to not comment.

Yeah some of the responses to this thread are pretty ridiculous.

One belief about tickling that I really really hope dies during 2019 is the idea that hogtie bondage is an attractive and erotic method of restraint for use in tickle videos.
It is not.
The hogtie, in my opinion, is a crude, painful-looking method of restraint that should never be used and that no tickle model should ever subject themselves to.

That seems more a preference versus a belief that seems incorrect or misguided. Having been hogtied myself, it's really not uncomfortable unless you have some kind of injury.

That’s a fair point! I’ve just thought for a long time that there’s always been this view of hogtied as ‘Oh, awesome bondage. She really can’t get free, that’s awesome!’. Personally, I’ve never really bought into it!
Wow. Just... damn. Part of me almost can't believe this happens, but then again, I see crazy things all the time. I'm sorry this is a thing, and yeah, it should go away.

It isn't even always random non-consentual shots too. In the True Stories forum there was an ongoing story about someone's "ticklish girlfriend", with photos of her/her feet... According to the author the girlfriend was not aware of his fetish, or of the fact her boyfriend was putting her photos on a kink site for others to view. I've seen more than once in threads here and on Reddit about advice for first sessions, "video it", with promises from the guy to do so and sometimes returning with replies to pm for links; there's never really an indication this type of thing was done consentually either.
Guys, I don't care if she's a total stranger or your wife - if you don't have her express permission to take photos or film her and put the photos/videos on fetish/kink sites like the tmf, doing so is flat-out WRONG.

Think the only way this will end is if the chat is destroyed (so there is a possibility 
) but PMing a person in chat randomly without their previous approval!!!
Will say that’s one benefit of going into the chat room on one’s phone, as one doesn’t have to constantly be interrupted with a random window popping into your main screen when typing on a phone. Instead, you just get kicked out of the chat for replying in a PM, so... win-win?
Would really like it if PEOPLE STOPPED PMING IN CHAT WITHOUT PERMISSION BEFOREHAND!!!!

This thread is rapidly turning into ‘Basic Human Courtesies We’d Love To See On The TMF In 2019’!
Not a bad thing, in my opinion!

I agree with what Chicago said about being hogtied earlier in this thread.

Someone alluded to this earlier, but I think people should stop acting like they know if someone is ticklish or not based on vaguely-related criteria. I'm not talking about race or hair color either.
Some people seem to think that if someone can make it through things like pedicures or massages then that person must not be ticklish. Fact is, though, those types of things, when done properly, do not tickle.
If you go on Youtube, you'll find a handful of videos that shows girls laughing ticklishly while getting pedicures. Here's an example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yIQhOTAl8g&t=701s
Is it cute to watch? Sure. But pedicures can be done so that they don't tickle, even on people with very ticklish feet. My sister has very ticklish feet, and she finds pedicures relaxing. Point is, a skilled technician (maybe not the right word?) can give a pedicure so that it won't tickle.
Massages are the same. I'm very ticklish, but I have had many massages in my life. They rarely ever tickle me.
See the massage being given in this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azqVQjrzNns
That's a stomach massage. I have actually had massages like that. They usually do not tickle (one or two times they did, though). However, a certain lady on this forum once tickled me in all the places that this stomach massage is taking place, and she had me in hysterics. Again, the point is, these things can be done so that they don't tickle, even on ticklish people. So just because someone go through a pedicure or massage without laughing or squirming doesn't mean they're not ticklish.
