Lol, YES, I have trouble seeing friends or other people tickle each other publicly bc I feel this stupid self-conscious feeling like they will somehow know that tickling is more to me than just playful..
If I do see it I will often look away or get seemingly absorbed in the phone, and the same thing if there happens to be something on TV with a prolonged tickling scene and I am around people who don't know... Lol, my ex and his guy friends liked to watch Dragonball Z for a while and I was in the room once when they watched an episode where Goku fights this big caterpillar thing, that grabs him and tickles him all over with multiple arms... It was VERY reminiscent of some of the fetish artwork here and I was probably blushing like crazy while trying to appear unaffected ��
