[Myriads]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?

Not for a second.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

Increased interaction has given me a lot of insight into exactly how the fetish fits into my greater sexuality. By this I mean, it's allowed me to get a solid perspective on how important it is to me, and how much it can arouse and amuse in relation to other activities.

It's provided sexual perspective.

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?

I'm pretty satisfied with where I've had fun.

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?

The purpose of a scene/play for me is to have a new experience. I enjoy novelty (In response and in general), and I also enjoy causing things in my partners. Play helps answer both these likes.

I get amusement, and time to enjoy a physical/psychological act, where the pure joy of doing and causing leaves me satisfied.

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?

Learning to see/listen to all the details one experiences in a scene, and the value that can be found in them. Too often much value is missed in the chase of the bigger thrills, and opportunities of value and learning are lost.

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?

Yes I do. They add to the history and weight of interactions over time, and build connections that are strong and valuable over long periods.

My favorites are shared experiences that are re-rerfrenced to comment upon new events.

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?

I have switched. As a Dom, it's valuable to know what a sub is feeling and experiencing in practice as well as theory. It aids in becoming a better Dom and like so many things sexual, one can read about things, talk to folks forever, but until you DO, you can't really know.

The experiences I've had were decent. I'm not very ticklish, so I doubt they were of the level that many others experience, but they have been educational. On the orgasm control/play sides they have been very amusing and taught me lots about exactly what sort of control I have over my body. From the bondage side they taught me how positions feel to be in, and how strict they are, and better know how long they should be maintained.

All information that is very valuable.

And yes I enjoyed parts of the experiences even though I am not a sexual submissive in any form. It goes to show there is value to be had in almost all situations even ones not naturally suited to ones nature.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?

A moment of cognitive dissidence where what I believed did not square with what I was experiencing. I was almost 20.

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?

Slowly. Mostly by walking forward into the new things ahead and trying to not dwell on what is gone. Also by coming to understand that there are ends to most things, and they happen. They don't negate any good that came before, they just stop getting more of it from that person. There are always more people of value to meet and get to know.

10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

The variety of jobs that I have held over the years, and the reasons why I've chosen some of the life-paths I am upon.

Myriads

 

[phant0m]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?

Nope!

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

By listening to stories here, I've realized that it's far from impossible to persuade a nonticklephile to enjoy our hobby. Before finding this place I thought I had to meet another tickle fetishist (unlikely) or live my life without complete sexual gratification. Now I know there are kinky girls willing to experiment, and it's looking like a bright future...

If you are new: What would you like to see change about yourself?

Uhhh, I'd like to lose some weight, be done with college, have a high paying job, a gorgeous girlfriend who loves to be tickled, a bigger penis, and a dog. My current landlord doesn't allow dogs

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?

Hot tub or swimming pool would be nice.

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?

Uhhh, sexual gratification? If anyone answers something I agree with, I'll edit it in.

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?

Tickling. I've seen tickle clips posted in some sex positive places and the reaction has always been "OMG tickle porn? This is as hot as it sounds!" so I think it's something more people would like to discover.

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?

Yes, setting aside a night every week to cook together was really nice and I'd love to do it in my future relationships.

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?

Kinda, mostly ler, but I'm willing to lee. I'm kinda fearful of it now since the first time I ever had my face ridden I was strapped down and received no warning whatsoever. I like to think I know what water boarding is like now.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?

When I watched the power rangers and I saw the giant robots and monsters crashing into buildings. Either there's people in those buildings, or these guys only fight on Sundays and no one gives a damn about janitors! That's when I decided not to become a janitor.

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?

Look back critically at what they did wrong and what I did wrong. Try to improve myself for next time, and adjust my standards as well.

10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

Just about anything, I haven't posted here much.

[TropicThunder]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?

It lasted about 0.0000000000001 of a second. Mebbe.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

Holy cow. I’m definitely not as shy or as self-conscious as I used to be. You guys make me feel normal. Well, as normal as can be.


3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?

Outside. =D

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?

It all depends on the person, place and scene. There are fun play scenes with friends that are just that – fun. When it comes to my partner though, those scenes tend to me more intimate.

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?

I honestly don’t know how to answer this one. What am I good at? Cooking. That’s one. How about Kinky Cooking in the Kitchen?


6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?

Morning rituals are pretty good. I love our quiet times when we can just sit and read or just enjoy each other’s company. Coffee, breakfast, cartoons. Snuggles.


7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?

I always switch. I like both ends of the spectrum. However, there are some people I just will not submit to.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?

The moment I read that pregnancy test.

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?

I take solace in the people who are around me. If I just have some good company, I can usually heal from anything pretty fast.


10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

I used to be an artist and an avid writer. Most people who know me now don’t actually know that. I used to have showcases for my work when I was younger. I used to draw portraits and paint. I loved it. Unfortunately for me, I was put in a situation where my creativity was so suppressed. Now that I’m free of it, I’m slowly starting to get back into it, but I feel like any and all skill has left me. I’m just waiting for it to come back.

[Skipadeedoodah]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?

I never thought it was going to happen. I entertained thoughts about what it would be like, but that was really just out of boredom.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

I've learned to be much more open to things than I ever was before. A few years ago I kind of turned my nose up at alot of activities that I've found I love almost as much (as much?) as tickling, and I'm finding myself increasingly curious about a ton of new things that I never would have expected.

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?

Not that I can think of off the top of my head.

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?

I enjoy being able to embrace another side of my personality that isn't really present in my vanilla life. I also love the hilarious banter and smart-ass back and forth that comes up. I love the high and love love looooove the affection.

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?

Oh, I'd love to teach a few...(okay - not actually since I don't like people looking at me...but you get where I'm goin')

1.) SAMing: You're doin' it WRONG -- specifically for the folks who think being mean is the same as being playful.

2.) Intro to Minding Your Own Damn Business: Private session is private

3.) How To Creep Someone Out in 10 Seconds or Less (and how not to)

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?

I don't mind rituals as long as they're fairly easy to maintain. I would not be down with a ritual that required me to get up at fuckthat:30 and go sit by a lake to watch the sunrise every Saturday morning - I don't care how sweet and romantic it was the first time.


7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?

I've been asked to switch by a few people, and I've enjoyed it. It's definitely not natural for me. I don't get the same elation that I get when I lee. I can have fun being playful and teasing - and it's fun to see what kind of reactions I can get by doing this here and this here and that there, and what combination of circumstances makes the most amusing results

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?

When Michael and I broke up. I realized that I had been depending on someone else - first my parents, then him - for my entire life. I was ready to see what I could accomplish on my own.

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?

Depends on how it ends. All of my relationships have ended well. We both were in agreement that it was over, and there weren't any bad feelings. When things don't end so pleasantly, though, distraction and avoidance are my best friends. I'll uproot my entire life and make huge changes just to flood my mind with other things and avoid thinking about that situation. It hasn't always served me well, but hey, it's a coping mechanism. Then I take steps to make sure I never put myself into a position to go through it ever again.

10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

I keep alot of secrets. I'm nice to people I absolutely hate, and I don't call it two-faced. I call it manners.

 

[texastickler]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?

No. Although I did wonder what something like that would realy be like.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

I have not experienced any change. After going to gatherings however I did get to see the personal side of fellow tickle enthusiasts and that is a mighty cool.

If you are new: What would you like to see change about yourself?

I am not new but I do not want to change one bit.

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?

You know what? I think I would like to have one just about anywhere.

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?

It may sound corny but I will answer this truthfully. To have fun, engage in physical interaction and make someone else feel good.

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?

Not sure here. I do believe it would be a class about Lee-Ler relationship. Making the experience work for both parties.

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?

I am not sure there is any set ritual in any relationship I have had with anyone.

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?

I can switch. I do not do it much because I am not a good sub. When it comes to tickling I have never been too ticklish. I am slowly starting to find out that may be changing.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?

When I worked for a volunteer group working with kids. I knew I had to work with them at some point. They are the most awesome people in the world. If I could help just one I knew I had made a difference.

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

I recover well. It takes me a little time but I begin to move on. The hardest one for me was getting on after 7 years of marriage. When that ended i was devastated.

[Korastus]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?
Not even a little. Let madmen and fools worry about the apocalypse. It's a fantasy, and I'll waste no time pretending there's even a hint of sanity in it.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?
I've grown up a lot. I've become more confident, more comfortable with myself, and with other people. It has made me a great deal more open and improved my outlook, not only in terms of sexuality, but in everyday life as well.

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?
No where specific off the top of my head, but there are plenty of places I haven't, and almost any new experience is exciting to me.

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?
There are so many reasons for me! It's a feeling of connection that I simply don't get in every day life. Whether I'm playing with a friend or a lover, it's an incredible feeling to be so open with someone. Platonic or romantic, it doesn't matter, being able to connect with another person on such a level, being able to share affection without judgement... it's beyond what I can put into words.
I'm kind of a sensation junkie. Every feeling, every sensation, every emotion is something to be embraced, explored, and cherished. The high I get from play is absolutely fantastic, almost nothing else can compare.
And just because it's fun!

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?
Hmmm... it would surely be something to do with either tickling or hypnosis, as they are my primary fetishes and those about which I am most knowledgeable, but I don't have the first clue about what the specifics of the topic would be. XD

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?
I don't think I've ever had any.

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?
I've been a switch from the very beginning. I love it, and I can't imagine choosing one or the other.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?
I feel like a lot of small moments led me to that, not one specific event.

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?
Writing, music, spending a lot of time with friends.

10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?
I tend to live in my own head a lot, so there are a lot of things I think about and deal with on my own that people likely have no idea about.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

lolwut?

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?

The Vatican.

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?

To play.

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?

Name it and gimme a week to prepare...

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?

I do, but the relationship tends to go south when I sacrifice my gf to the ancient gods of my ancestors...

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?

I do switch, but I greatly prefer to ler.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?

Birth.

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?

Move forward.

10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

I don't know what people don't know about me. It's an unknown unknown. The abscence of evidence is not the evidence of abscence.

[desdemona]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?
Uhhhhhh...no.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/etc ?
I'm more open than I used to be (and that's saying a lot for an introvert). I probably actually trust strangers less though and I'm getting less patient and tolerant in my old age.

If you are new: What would you like to see change about yourself?

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?
An actual dungeon??? lol. BTW, outdoors rocks

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?
If it's actual play, then I'm looking for stress relief/relaxation. Depending on the partner, it may be for mutual sexual gratification. An actual session, I'm looking for letting myself go, exploring and pushing my limits, and reaching sub space if possible.

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?
I like to teach subjects I'm familiar with... but I'm not a fan of public speaking. I'd have to say something about safety - like how to prepare for a real life meeting/encounter with an online acquaintance.

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?
I enjoy the ritual of putting on my collar when I am submitting. It helps put me in the right frame of mind and allows me to transition from everyday life to D/s.


7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?
I'm a terrible ler. I have topped my Dom once. It was a total reversal of mind set. I did enjoy trying to see how the other side feels and acts. The psychology of it was quite intriguing. On the other hand, I was involved with an actual switch for awhile and I didn't find it enjoyable at all. I'm more open to the idea than I used to be.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?
After high school, when I began to plan my time at college and prepare for a career. I knew what path I would follow when I was in grade school. And that has kept me focused on the end goal throughout the years.

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?
Cry a lot. Shut down and shut out the outside world for a bit. But mostly, dive into other projects/work to take my mind off things.

10.] What are some things people do not know or guess about you?
I love to sing - everything from classical to country. Currently, I sing baritone in a sweet adelines chorus (women's barbershop). I also speak French.

Sorry, I don't do pics - and I'm loathe to search for icons online.

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?

*shrugs*

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

Drawing can be more b!tch than a woman.

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?

Hmmm... my imagination is unforgiving, but so far RL had always been pleasing.

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?

It is bliss with someone.

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?

Tickling Art: 'getting off' with your hobby...

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?

Deep Mental and Spot Probing.

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?

Rare, but yes it was kinklicious.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?

I always think that I can be dead any time. Who really knows?

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?

Currently, N/A .

10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

The blind side.

[c7_assassin]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?

Hey, for all I know it did. Nobody I know would have been raptured anyway.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

I think I've started developing a foot fetish because of you freaky bastards.

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?

Uh, NEST.

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?

Usually sex. If not sex, at least the knowledge that she'll be thinking of me next time she gets it.

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?

Defence Against the Dark Arts.

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?

Haven't found one that works for me yet. Ritual that is, not relationship.

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?

Switching works better in my fantasies than it does in real life. I prefer to 'ler in real life.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?

Never had one. I've always been this awesome.

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?

I drink a lot. Usually I have some sex that I later regret.

10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

Oh, I'm a mystery wrapped in an enigma, bound with a riddle, stuffed with paradoxes and shipped in a conundrum.

People are often shocked that I'm not an idiot.

[myth77]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?

No, but it certainly would've been entertaining to watch

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

I feel more comfortable in my own skin. When you get to meet people in real life from the forum, you get to see that most everybody with this interest is a regular person just like you are. It has helped put me in touch with who I am and what I really want/like.


3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?

...that could be a lot of places considering I haven't had THAT much playtime. Honestly I just want to find a place to play where I don't have to feel self-conscious about my noise levels...perhaps on the moon


4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?

Sometimes I'm just in it for the fun of it, but a good part of the time, I have a desire to get pushed (I don't know if I'm phrasing that right). Play is an arena where I enjoy having my limits expanded (or steamrolled over ). There are other aspects I really like involving power exchange, etc, but I'm gonna stop writing here...this is TMI Tuesday, not Myth-Biography Friday .

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?

Aftercare. I wasn't aware of 'sub-drop', so I was hard on myself for getting the blues a few days after playing. I discovered info about it on another forum, and I was able to do what I needed to manage it on my own.

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?

That's a good question. No and yes. Not in the sense of establishing a routine that could give way to a rut. But there is something to be said for the bonding of the people involved in the ritual.

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?

I have not switched. I haven't been asked to switch. Whether I will remains to be seen, but I prefer being the Lee.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?

I think it was a moment where I was laying on my bed as a kid, and I wondered who created God. After trying in vain to wrap my head around that, I settled into questioning what I was supposed to create if we were created beings.

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?

I go find new music. Explore new interests/hobbies. Tell my kids some jokes. It's hard to focus on my blues when I can bring smiles to their faces.

Find more music.

10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

Let's see...I work a regular day job, but I have an arts business on the side. I've also been known to write poetry and I've penned a few tic-fic stories. I used to own an iguana (true story...a boring one too )

Ooooh, I wanna post 2

 

[CD216]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?

Nope.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

I stopped giving a damn about it really. This is me, this is what I enjoy, and if its different to you, meh. If you feel the need to ridicule for it, I look forward to finding out just what you're so ashamed to admit to .

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?

My own place, ironically enough.

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?

To have the most fun possible with the person I'm playing with. That "spark" is lost if both parties aren't enjoying it.

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?

"How The Gym Can Give Kinky Ideas." Legit, because ideas have crossed my mind in there before.

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?

Sure. A pattern is nice, but every relationship needs some spontaneity to it. That being said, being able to just hang around and enjoy each other's company watching a movie or whatever is key.

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?

Yup, I be a switch. I enjoy tickling and being tickled too damn much to be entirely one or the other, despite having a slight lean to one side.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?

I don't know; I'm kind of always in a curious state about myself, my place, where I'm heading, etc.

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?

Try my damndest to not think about. Work out. Be with my friends. Increase the alcohol consumption a wee bit.

10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

I'm a weird hybrid of jock and geek. Love sports, being active, lifting, and whatnot but also big on video games, comics, and movies.

Nope

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?
My confidence increased a ton. I was picked on a lot in school. I thought I was fat and ugly. Then I kept getting so many compliments on here and FetLife. My perception about my looks has changed a ton.

In the middle of a forest. Tree bondage!!!!!!!

To release built up sexual kink tension. I hope to be left satisfied and to satisfy my partner.

How to look and feel sexy. I think I could do a good job talking about this.

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?
Hmm I guess I do. My favorite would be weekly play sessions.

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?
Yep I am a switch. I just love being in control and being controlled. It really depends on my mood and mindset as to whether I'll feel more sub or domme.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?
I'm not sure. I always remember asking why I existed?

I cry some,then realize I need to get over it,and then I start looking again.

10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

[Comfort Eagle]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?

No, but once years ago when a thunderstorm woke me up, I thought Iraq was bombing us.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

I involve people I know more now.

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?

There's evidently like a bondage castle near me, should hit that up.

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?

Tickling?

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?

Ticklishness and Redheads; What's the deal with that?

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?

Blood sacrifice.

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?

Want to, rarely get tickled. :c

Constantly

[Big_Dogg85]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?

I was too busy drinking and playing Apples to Apples to know that the world was supposedly ending around me.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

The fetish helped me to come out of my introverted shell: the fetish was the foundation with which to expand dialogue with everyone and I've come to make some amazing friends from here, lifelong friends.

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?

Not really, if I'm fortunate enough to get some play or a session then I couldn't care less about location or specifics.

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?

The purpose to me is having an absolute blast with my friends and demonstrating my hidden, maniacal side. My hope is that each experience provides something fresh yet maintains that base level of fun and awesome.

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?

Lee Psychology: The Art of Reading and Mindfucking. In my limited experience, what I've noticed is that each ler has different sets of signs, be it body language, eye movement, twitches, facial reactions, or vocal hints (overall, in poker terms, "tells") that provide clues for any ler looking to get the most out of their lee. By incorporating some choice dialogue and incorporating common tactics, like a bait-and-switch for example, a ler can effectively get the most out of their lee with the ultimate outcome of enhancing the experience for all.

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?

My fiancée and I don't really have a lot of rituals but what we do have is an outstanding agreement that we are at war when we play games against each other. During games we both understand that we're both competitive and insults, taunting and gloating are the norms. We find it very good stress relief and an amazing outlet; beyond the odd argument we have yet to have a major fight and we attribute games to being able to do that.

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?

I do switch, though I have yet to be asked. I couldn't tell you since no one has TRULY ler'ed me yet.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?

I don't think I have any one trigger but a cascading series of events through my childhood ultimately led to this notion.

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?

I would take some time to be by myself and truly ponder about how and why the relationship went awry and what I can learn from the relationship. Slowly, I'd start talking about it to my friends and recover from there.

10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

During my formative moose years, I actually fell under the group and category of "Bullied"...

[CrystalLight]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?

Yes. But I talked to Manda and she made it all better.



2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

I don't have such an insistent need to have to receive answers to a plethora of questions I carry. -- They've mostly all been covered. -- I know I'll have MOAR in the future, but as for now, I have had experiences and feel sated.


3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?

I agree with whoever mentioned Pool/hot-tub. -- I think introducing the act of trying to control a 'lee/out maneuver a 'ler in water would be interesting.



4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?

If it's a "playful/goofing around with friends deal?": Then the chance to see/cause their reactions/responses. To share in something that is mutually enjoyed with complete comfort.

If it's a one on one private scene with an actual "partner"?: Then the chance to hopefully be brought into a form of 'sub-space' and experience having my power stripped from me. Watching the 'ler/Top/etc embrace their own method and expel it.

-- I really don't carry expectations for either except for the hope that both parties come out of it positively.



5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?

"GTFO -- Why it's important to respect Boundaries."

-- Because too many times have I witnessed/experienced folks assuming that because 'goofing around' or 'play' is happening between 2 people, that they can jump right in.


6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?

I do. And my favorite mainly is sharing w/them a mutually enjoyed hobby/task/etc.


7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?

I have. I have never been asked outright to switch, but I've played w/men who prefer to 'lee and that I am comfortable with and let them play with me a bit, then just took the control over without really any verbal announcement. And because I don't necessarily completely put my 'lee side out too heavily in public, you'll see me "switching" a lot at Gatherings. Certain elements of my 'lee side I feel aren't for public consumption and I dislike allowing them to seep out.

As far as what it was like? It was fine. Because I got t'be a Sadistic Bitch and they loved it.



8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?

I don't have one perse, because shit keeps happening that makes me just start wondering all over again. But it'd be a toss up between Ending my Marriage/My Step-father falling deep into Parkinsons and being fucked over by my now ex-boyfriend.

My son has never made me wonder about my place in life. As soon as I started feeling him movin' around inside me, I knew what I was going to have to be for him.


9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?

I burn shit?

Ah. It's different. First of all, for me, it depends on how serious and involved the relationship was. -- My last one resulted in absolutely no need or desire for "healing" time. I felt/feel nothing from kicking him down the stairs except Anger.

My marriage ending caused an ebb and flow. -- I reclused from forum, friends and what not for awhile mainly because of how fucked my head was (is?) and I really didn't want to subject those I love to that shit. I can honestly say that I am still "recovering" from the end of my marriage.



10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

lol.

[..Glamorous..]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?
Lmao, not for a second.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?
I'm much more open about it. When I first came here, only Aura knew. Now everyone close to me knows.

If you are new: What would you like to see change about yourself?

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?
Hmm, I'm not really sure. I haven't really been like "Oh, I must do a session there", I dunno. lol

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?
Depends, sometimes its sexual, and sometimes it's just for fun.

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?
Taking a headshot like a champ. Those of you I'm close with know the story. lol

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?
Yes, I enjoy the fact that things are nearly the same daily, makes it easier for us to plan stuff. But, then there are days that are nothing like the others, which is why I think it's not too much.

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?
I have. I find it's easier to switch with members of the same sex, or my really good friends.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?
When my ex-husband I split up.

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?
Depends on the relationship, I've had some I could just up and walk away from and then some that completely changed who I am.


10.What are somethings people not know or guess about you?
I'm a compulsive shopper.

[Aimee]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?
Yes. I always believe people with megaphones. How can you not? Their voices are so loud and echoy.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?
Well...I'd much rather tickle the 'fellas now.

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?
I would love to have a session in a pool of chocolate sauce. I don't know why--just seems like it'd be fun and tasty. Of course...it'd have to be with a girl---Euphoricy?

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out of the experience?
To have fun and a connection. That's the best thing for me.

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?
Oooh! I would do Female Topping in Tickling!

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?
Yes. We always go by the camp fire at night and make images out of the fire before we brush our teeth.

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?
Yes. Yes. It was amazingly awesome. I liked ALL parts of it.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?
2 seconds ago...after I read this question.

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?
"Everything you own in a box to the left...to the left...to the left..."
But fo realz...I just put everything that reminds me of them in a box and then store it somewhere.

10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?
People automatically assume I'm a 'lee. All.The.Time. I use to be, I'll give you that, but I'm not anymore. I'm just not.

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?
No.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?
I am more accepting of people and what they do.

If you are new: What would you like to see change about yourself?
I am most decidedly not new.

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?
Yes.

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?
To see if my tired old ass is still ticklish.

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?
Aftercare. Seems more than a few forgot about it last gathering I was at.

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?
Any form of friendly hello touch. *Handshake, hug, etc.

[Artoo]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?

Recently? No.

But many years ago I was a bible-believin', rootin-tootin', rapture-ready Christian (albeit a bad one who wanked a lot and went to church to pick up girls). Although it may not be biblically sound, the rapture certainly slotted itself neatly into the framework of my belief, at least as easily as the dinosaurs or continental drift did.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

Self-confidence. I don't owe it ALL to the forum & meeting folk in the scene etc, but it certainly allowed me to become more confident in who I was, and what I did. I found out that people actually got on well with me (I also found out that some people do not, and that's okay), it allowed me to not care so much about being judged for the way I act, and it made me realise that despite the many differences I have with my friends, variety is the spice of life and I don't want to chat to carbon copies of myself.

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?

No specific place that I can think of; location isn't key for me, it's who I'm playing with.

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?

Again, this one depends entirely in context. Most of my play tends to happen at fetish clubs around Scotland; now, given the nature of the licensing & sex laws in Scotland, this means nothing of an intrinsically *sexual* nature can happen at a fetish club (i.e. no penetration, no handjobs etc). Some places the rules are not so stringently enforced, but in general playing in clubs != sexual play. Sexual play happens at the afterparties, and on your own time.

So, to answer the question; the purpose is to have fun; my hopes are that the play arouses myself/my partner, both carnally and emotionally.

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?

Tickling. It's something that's not particularly well-versed in the Scottish scene, but since I started attending clubs more and more people seem to be jumping on the tickling bandwagon. It feels good, and it's a big ego stroke; I'm all for stroking it further.

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?

I prefer spontaneity in my relationships, but there are little, non-fetish things that I enjoy. I like getting to the point in relationships where you finish each others sentences, or where you do something/go somewhere which holds intrinsic value to the other person (maybe going to a restaurant from your first date, or a concert to see someone you know they like but have never seen live before).

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?

I do. I have. It was great. And I like all of it.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?

There wasn't one. I'm always vaguely wondering what my place in life will be, but I know that life gives you lemons; you have to roll with the punches, and other trite clichés as well. I tend to focus on the here and now, and although I have that vague idea in my head about where I'm going/where I want to be, I am well aware that these notions can change in a heartbeat and so I don't invest overly in them.

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?

Depends on the relationship. Usually by reassessing myself and my situation, and realising that what I had with that one person is no more special than a connection I could very easily have with someone else. I know it's a cliché, but there actually are plenty more fish in the sea, there is no such thing as "the one" and that no matter what happens, I'm going to be fine. There's no point letting someone else ruin your life.

10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

Most people do not guess I am kinky; I keep that world very separate from the rest of my life. I'm quite a secretive individual now in many areas of my life (moreso than I used to be anyway); I keep my cards close to my chest.

When people meet me now, they have no idea that I suffered from low self esteem, that I was depressed, that I constantly worried about my image or place in life. Times have changed, and I have changed.

[milagros317]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?
Nope, not for a moment. But then I'm not a Christian and don't believe in the New Testament.
2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

A lot more activity by attending gatherings has caused me to try new things.

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?
I've played in very well-equipped dungeons, so my answer is no.
4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?
It's just fun to be bound helplessly and tickled without mercy by a woman (or women) that I trust.
5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?
Right now I would love to do a demonstration of bondage with The Stork.

http://www.ticklingforum.com/showthread.php?t=199741
6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?
Yes. When Goddess Shelly first enters the room where I'm waiting for her, I'm already kneeling down and she commands me to kiss the soles of her boots or shoes, usually 25 or 50 times each, and I eagerly comply.
7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?
Yes. I would say I'm about 90% lee, 10% ler.
8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?
Not sure, I've had my kinky interests since early childhood and never wondered where they came from.
9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?
Slowly and badly. It took me two years to get over a broken engagement (1980 to 1982).
10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

I can be very, very loyal to friends but I can also carry a grudge for many years against people who have behaved badly to me.

[leafstk]

1.] Was there any time even for a brief moment that you actually thought The Rapture was really going to happen?

No But it was fun ushering it in together... under 5 months remain to get our jetpacks!!!

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?

What has changed? I'm not sure tbh. I think I've grown over the years to learn more about what exactly I like and what works for me. Being with someone who gets me for who I am as I do her has made that especially fulfilling

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?

Hmmm.... definitely an outdoor scene

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?

It's very personal between my partner and I... it's definitely more than play for us and tends to bring us closer. My interest is primarily in fulfilling what works for us and making it as memorable an experience as possible... so that we're both left wanting more

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?

Mindfucks

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?

We have some yes... I don't think I want to share them here though

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?

I do, yes. I find both experiences thrilling in their own right... and sometimes downright scary (in a good way )

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?

When I was arrested as a foolish 18 year old, lol. I made a choice to make something of myself and there's been no looking back. That experience still haunts me though

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?

Surround yourself with friends, take time for yourself and focus on things you enjoy.

10.] What are somethings people not know or guess about you?

What an evil sadistic bastard I can be

I mean it still could. But no, I'd bet against any particular prediction, every time.

2.] What do you feel has changed most about yourself within your fetish based off using the forum/meeting folks/chatting/ect ?
I've become more of a sadist. Great. Bitches love being tortured.

3.] Is there a place you want to play/have a session where you have not yet had the chance?
A legit dungeon with all the fixins would be pretty fun.

4.] What is the purpose of play/scene for you? What do you hope to get out to of the experience?
I shall answer that question with this link

5.] If you were asked to do a workshop at a kink conference, what topic would you chose to do? Why?
Well I don't think I have enough expertise to lead a workshop. So, instead of actually being helpful and instructive, I'd just use the opportunity selfishly. I'd call it a "tickling techique" workshop or some shit, and pick volunteer lees from the audience.

6.] Do you enjoy rituals in your relationships? What is your favorite?
Nah.

7.] Do you switch? Have you been asked to switch? What was it like? Did you like parts of it?
No. Fuck off. Don't touch me.

8.] What was that trigger moment when you began to wonder about your place in life?
I think the real question is, what is my place in YOUR life? (who am I talking to?)

9.] How do you recover from the ending of a relationship?
I constantly remind myself that I will, eventually, get over it, and that there's nothing to be done but wait out the shitty feelings.

10.] What are some things people not know or guess about you?
I've often been told that I should pursue professional acting... but I don't dig the starving artist lifestyle.
