# of Attendees 2022

[charlieoliver]

Hello,
I went to NEST in 2014 and 2017 and the #of attendees were about 50-60. Was the turnout similar this year?
I would love to go next year.

Always wanted to go, and I’m planning on going next year.

Whats the m/f ratio?

[SugarSoaker]

There isn’t an official gender counter at registration but if I had to guess it’s probably 60% male 35% female 5% non-binary? Give or take. Anyone else who attended feel free to adjust.

It felt closer to 65-70% male, but that could have been because it was my first time, and I was interacting with a lot of other newbies. As a woman in that space, I definitely felt the skewed ratio though.

I’ve been interested in going, but I’m really only interested in being tickled by other females. (I can switch too). Are there very many female lers who go and are also interested in f/f tickling?

Honestly, “this is what I’m looking for, will it happen?” questions can be complicated to answer. Short version: yes. There is a lot of f/f play. Complicated answer: there is no guarantee for anyone that what they are looking to accomplish, play-wise, is going to happen. It’s weird to hear, since it’s a tickling gathering and everyone there enjoys tickling but, like anything else, no one is obligated to play with anyone ever. If you’re friendly, social, and get involved (before and during) and are able to socialize decently, finding play (especially if you are female or femme-leaning) is *typically* not an issue. Since it is skewed towards male attendance, it might be a little bit more difficult finding f/f than m/f (you basically have to have a pulse in order to find m/f lol) but f/f is there and common to indulge in or just watch hope this helps and I don’t sound too preachy but it’s a point that is reiterated often, for all genders and roles because, unfortunately, sometimes play just doesn’t happen for some people sometimes. This goes for all tickle and kink events.

That totally makes sense! Of course there’s no guarantee, but it’s good to hear that what I’m primarily interested in isn’t unheard of thanks for sharing your thoughts! Maybe I’ll have to just take the leap and come check it out some time, could be fun!
