Hi all!
So, I've been a part of the TMF for a couple years now. I've always liked tickling, but I never was exposed to it too much up until recently.
Without going into too many details, I only just recently had my first session with a friend. I was super excited, we talked about things we liked and wanted to try, I talked about things that I wouldn't want to try. But now, in the aftermath, I'm in a weird place. She did some things I wasn't cool with, did things that I said many times beforehand I didn't like, and just kept making me very, very uncomfortable the entire time we played and wouldn't back off. I ended up making an excuse to leave early.
Now, I can't even read tickle stories that I used to love without getting squeamish and nauseous and having to close the story because all I can think about is how unpleasant that sensation was. At best, I feel uneasy nothingness and at worst I feel so ill that I have to chill a bit afterwards to calm myself down. Yes, even with stories that I absolutely loved beforehand and were pretty much my ideal tickle stories. I can't read them without getting that super uneasy feeling.
TLDR; because of a bad first session, I'm really iffy about tickling now and can't even read about it without getting uncomfortable. Are there other people out there who had a bad first session who like tickling NOW? Did you go through a period of uneasiness before getting comfortable with the thought again? I don't want to be put off by something I always enjoyed the fantasy of for so long just because it's most likely the fault of tickle incompatibility.
Also sorry to make such a semi-depressing post- just wanting to get some perspectives and advice from people who have probably been in the same situation.
