I've been thinking a bit more about the problem of escorts and tickling since my last post.
As I said, I have never been with an escort for tickling, but I know that some people have, and report good experiences. Perhaps someone can help me to understand this puzzle:
1) I have always assumed that escorts and sex workers generally want to avoid intimacy or emotional connection with a client, whatever simulation of this they might put on professionally with him - any invitation to real intimacy from a client is a damn nuisance to them because they have to protect themselves emotionally.
2) Yet isn't it one of the incredible things about tickling that it is a potent short-cut to intimacy between two people in two seconds flat, whether the ticklee has chosen it or not? Think for example of all the teasing talk that a tickler indulges in to ramp up the intensity and intimacy of the moment, all that laser-like loving attention that he focusses on her...
Given this, I am surprised that an escort would be willing to get into this situation with a client, especially a second time, once she had realised where it took her. One of the things that we so love about tickling is that it overrides all voluntary defences and exposes the ticklee's vulnerability and she has no choice about that after it has started.
If tickling really can achieve this level of intimacy between an escort and a client, and the escort is still willing to go along with it, what an amazing tool we have at our disposal - and how easy it would be to misuse it in an exploitative way, too.
Have I understood this correctly?
