I had just learned that Mike Reynolds, the founder of two pioneering M/M tickling websites, "Ticklish Asians" and "Male Feet and Tickling", has been arrested and taken into custody in The Philippines for overstaying on his visa ( for which the country had previously taken a much more lenient stance). The country's president Duarte, who had called for the executions of drug addicts, has decided to take an extremely hardline stance with this.
Mike had previously had strokes and takes medication for life-threatening seizures. The deplorable prison conditions not only include having to sleep on the floor while large rats crawl over him, but no access to medications that would help keep him from asphyxiating from the seizures. He's attempting to deport himself to save his life, but is finding it a slow grueling process. His lover of 14 years, Ricky, and his stateside US friends and colleagues are asking for donations to help get him the medications he needs and to speed the legal process getting him released. BTW, Mike and Ricky cannot get married in The Philippines as the country does not recognize same-sex relationships.
There's more information at the two websites linked below. Reynolds has been fundamental in recognizing those men into tickling Asian men. After some success with Ticklish Asians, he's moved on the diligent work opening the website "Male Feet and Tickling." The latter site has become an important supporting site for men of all sexual orientations to share their desires and loves of male feet and tickling without fear of harassment and ridicule.
The following links tell the full story with pictures of Mike's struggle. They also have links to how you can help. Thank you!
