And as the one who first posted the question I want to apologize for my bad manners: I think I was a little tipsy at the time. But, if I may speak now, I think the one common bond we all have here is, we know what it's like to have a proclivity that the outside world would consider weird, so we're in a good position to provide each other with a sanctuary of respect for the different variations with which we experience our proclivities. Interestingly, I got into a bit of a match a year or two ago with someone who posted a homophobic remark, and I pointed out to him (tried to) that, if homosexuality is one sexual variation that many find deviant, ours is another. I didn't get very far in persuading him of anything, not surprisingly.
You know, actually, I think it would be interesting to have a little dialogue about heterosexuals liking same-sex tickling. I, for one, would be quite curious to try it, and to hear how others experience it. But, definitely, such a thread needs to have the basic understanding that everybody's post is for others to learn something from, and that nobody needs either to be converted to anybody else's proclivity or to cry "pervert" to it either. (The exception is anything which doesn't occur between mutually consenting adults.)
Again, please forgive the nosiness of my post. But do others agree that it would be interesting to explore, as a question with no right or wrong answers?
