I don't know, babysmackbbg, but I'll tell you this:
1.) I was shocked when John Waters directed a movie in which he wanted to incorporate "all the fetishes", I can't remember which one, but during the press junket, he gave an interview in which he said, out of ALL the fetishes he knows of, "the one I just don't understand is tickling". THAT is inexplicable to me , especially because....
2.) I, at least, have had luck making people - both women and men - understand it or, in some cases, awaken the reality that
they already are turned-on by it and don't even know it!
3.) For instance, I have mentioned tickling during "guy talk". One time a GORGEOUS girl was in a SEVERE crop top at a club my buddy was bartending at. She was ubiquitous the whole night. At the end of the night, he and I are talking and she comes up in conversation and I say: "I just wanted to go up to her....and blow a raspberry all over her belly." My friend slams his hand down: "Yes, Leo...that is EXACTLY what should be done!" Another time I told my friend about tying up my girlfriend and tickling her, and his eyes got wide and wild and said "Hey, I LIKE the tickling!", nodding his head as if to say "Good idea! I'll have to remember that!" Sure enough, I noticed from that point on he tickled his girlfriends more than he had in the past. Another friend of mine learned about my tickle fetish and thought the idea so hot, he changed his screenname on some dating site to "Tickle Monster".
4.) I don't know that women are aware of this, but even those who say they hate it, I've noticed they, um.....often get wet when they're tickled, possibly because they're being manhandled or "conquered" or something, as opposed to enjoying the sensation itself. Who knows why, but it's something I've noticed many times.
5.) Every girlfriend I ever had grew to understand, appreciate and even enjoy tickling and what was hot about it. And another girl, who was a close friend, went from totally hating being tickled to understanding what was hot about it, and finally thinking it was sexy (over the course of a few years).
Anyways, I'm with you. When I look at all the things
other people are into, I feel PROUD. I am totally snobby about it. I think we have the best fetish. Hip hop would be way better if they spent a little more time talking about tickling, and less about booty, lol.
So high five babysmackbbg! I like your attitude!
