Nice collection :manicd:

The feeling of being out of control.

I think that generally, societally, there is and has been a greater negative attitude toward the overweight and obese for both men and women, not just in United States. But everywhere. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/03/110328171226.htm

In my opinion, no. Just tickling by itself isn't sexual per se. And if it's not sexual, I don't think it's cheating in the traditional sense.

Nice find.

it's a secret... it's a secret

since tickling isn't automatically sexual as an act then I don't regard m/m or f/f as automatically homosexual. But... if the main purpose is arousal then sure. Depends on the situation and people involved. Never a fetish though! :)

too many problems logistically ... can't check in using tmf ids and passwords. would love to call in. But can't do hurdles. next time. Rook

I doubt the solution is once size fits all beyond basic courtesy And maybe basic courtesy is the starting point. Ask permission. Learn and acknowledge boundries and go from there. Whether in the chat room or personals, ettiquette is indispenible. Learn it. practice it. And expect the...

Tickling is sexual for me, but not a fetish. A fetish implies there is something about it that interferes with your normal social functioning. And I just don't see that happening. Why did I join? In a word, community. Some very nice people on here who share an interest of mine.

True enough, that's one definition. It's the clinical one I worry about From the same article I don't know why we can't use more neutral terms like interest or preference instead "fetish" or "paraphilia". I guess to me we are doing ourselves a great disservice and possibly alienating...

Is it? Maybe I missed something. Still sounds like a pejorative to me. Paraphilia? Guilt by association doesn't take much. Is having TMF so closely associated with paraphilia a good thing? I doubt it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraphilia Rook

If you are looking for a dividing line then... if you have to have feet to become aroused sexually, then you have a foot fetish. If you don't, then you may have an interest in feet, but it's not a fetish. And there is admittedly more to it than than that. But, in a clinical sense, that about...

Show me the text. Implication and intent are not the same thing. What a statement implies may not be what the subjective intent of the writer, though in your case, I think it was. In your opinion. Jaba and Active Verb's contribution shed considerable light on this. And because we are...

so you are saying what? That I have to accept your characterization of the poll question at face value? I didn't comment on your intent. I commented on the implication of the question. And I think it is a fair interpretation. I don't really care if you originated the poll, the question...
