Glad to have you back, even if it's only occasionally.
Wonderful attitude change you've transformed into. I'd been on a similar journey in regard to tickling. I don't regard it as 'torture' but more like psychical therapy. I had a 'therapist' who would tie me down to her table and tickle the daylights out of me for an hour. I always left relaxed and blissed out for three days following the session. Sessions with others where I didn't get a happy ending, after the three day period, the sexual energy would rise up, and I'd off myself five times that first day. If I had a girlfriend during that time, she would get exhausted by the end of the day, but boy would she sleep good that night.
From '07 to '10, I was hiring models from the Seattle Weekly for tickling videos for the private collection. Ahh to touch. I only responded to those who would write articulately, and made a number of good friends. (Plus a small stock pile of videos.) However, I lost the Earthlink account, and my Mac fried out shortly afterwards. I also ad to move from my apartment of 30 years, so I lost contact with everyone. :-(
But however, the experiences transformed my energy and attitude towards tickling, feeling more confident and sure with myself, which is a positive healing force. I have no one to play with, and the local papers dropped the Adult Gigs section, seems I have to put more energy into that again.
I had also posted an ad here at the TMF, but that room is full of guys who keep re posting their ads to keep themselves at the upper half of the page. Like to sorry folks who spend $5o a paycheck on lottery tickets, and always look sad on drawing day, but they never give up.
Well, good to see you. I had collected your works into a book, "Tales of Ticklish Jan" but somehow, this final story was missing when I first pulled it out after so many years. So thank you for correcting the spelling and other mistakes, will save me the task of doing that again.
I bow to you in humble gratitude, and place kisses on your feet. :-D
Enclosed are 4 of my favorite play pals.
