Hi there.
So I responded to a craigslist ad a few months ago from a guy who has a tickling fetish and wanted to meet up with a girl and pay her to be tickled (no sex!) He's older then me (He's 33 I'm 19 (almost 20.) but we've been texting and skyping so I know he's who he says he is and he's really nice and good looking. If our first meeting goes well and I enjoy it he wants to make it a regular thing. I really need the money since I just started school so I've had to cut back on work hours alot. He told me to visit this website to see what this fetish is all about and what I should expect but the videos on here are pretty overwhelming.
This fetish means different things to different people. (Witness the recent spate of non-consensual tickling threads if you need proof.) Some folks just like to playfully tickle their significant others. Some folks like to go full-on baby oil and X-frame. There's a lot of different ways to play, so the best thing to do is to not assume that he's looking for a particular kind of experience. Ask him exactly what he wants to do, for how long, and with what implements and/or farm animals. This last part is important because you do NOT want to engage in bondage with a complete stranger without some kind of safety net in place in the form of, say, a large male friend chaperoning or at the very least, several people knowing where you're going and who you're meeting.
At first I was excited, it sounded fun and easy money but now I'm nervous but I still want to do it. I'm super ticklish so I don't know if I'll be able to handle some of the tickling I've seen done on here but I don't want to let him down or lose out on the money.
The aforementioned safeword is a good idea. Another is to ease into the rough stuff... after all, you don't know your limits, so he should be willing to work with you to see what they are. Granted, there's an implied "customer service" pressure on you to deliver the experience he's paying for, but you can't do that without knowing what it is, and knowing if it's something you can handle. If you think you can and have to quit in the middle because it's more than you expected, it's going to lead to hard feelings.
Honestly, I would explain to him what you said here; that you've never done this before and don't know what you can handle, and see if he'd be willing to work with you on that. If he shows an overwhelming need (for lack of a better term) to absolutely have things on his terms, then that's a red flag that you shouldn't be trusting your body to this man's tender mercies in the first place.
I met up with someone from craigslist once before for fetish related things (not tickling and again no sex). Has anyone been in a situation like this or have any suggestions on what to do or how to make it tickle less? For girls, how was your first time being tickled by someone? What should I expect? Thank you so much.
Personally, I think trying to "make it tickle less" will do the guy a disservice. Despite what I said above, he's paying for you to be ticklish, not lie there like a rock.
The last time I met with a young lady in this situation, it took some gentle experimentation for her to find what kinds of tickling she could handle and that she was okay with me doing. She was horribly ticklish on her feet and didn't mind me lightly using a feather to drive her batty, but an all-out attack was out of the question. And if he doesn't respect your limits, "paying customer" or no, you reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, as the saying goes.
So, in short;
See what he wants, exactly
Ask him to work with you to find something you're both okay with
Safeword, plus escort/chaperone or make arrangements so people know where you are
Have fun!
