Are you being a little overly sensitive here? I thought this forum was about discussing, and that's just what I was doing. I couldn't care less if you wear a shirt with a "I have a tickling fetish" print on it, and I couldn't care less how your friends react to it. I just don't see the necessity to fill each and everybody around you in with your love life, no matter what it might be. If my friends were my sexual preference, I wouldn't consider them friends anymore. That makes them a potential sexual partner. But I generally tend not to eat where I shit. I've seen too many friendships turn sour and cliques breaking apart because friendship turned sexual.
