Anyone ever thought about becoming a pedicurist, specifically for tickling?

[Redmage]

Why should she care ? If I'm professional and not doing anything illegal, how and why can she police whats going on in my head?

We haven't even addressed matters of the law yet. As far as I can tell so far, though, it wouldn't matter even if he was breaking the law as long as his customers don't realize it.

However, believe it or not, most women do object to having intimate photos or video taken of them without their permission. And there are few things more intimate than a gynecological exam.

From the comments so far, it appears that a shop owner who set up hidden cameras in his bathrooms and dressing rooms would be perfectly proper as long as he was otherwise polite to his customers. As I wrote earlier, this surprises me.

You'd get fired. Complaints, etc. Lawsuits.

Not good.

I think the main problem here is that every so often a thread shows up where people are asking for tricks and ways to tickle total strangers and actually mean it. I even remember a thread where a guy asked a girl for her shoe size and afterwards looked like he was going to touch her foot, and got interrogated by the police afterwards.

So - naturally! - when a thread with contents like this appears and it's not totally clear if it's a fantasy or not, red alert goes off for some people, including me. 🙂

Then, the tickling fetish isn't very well known and widely spread, and usually if it shows up in the media it is because some weirdo though he actually had to force his fetish on strangers, be it someone breaking into houses and tickling sleeping women's feet or a lawyer crawling around underneath desks tickling his secretaries.

And we all don't want to read stuff like that so people don't think we are weirder than we actually are! 🙂

I completely understand what you're saying. My point is that once it was made perfectly clear that the topic was entirely fantasy, the guy was still not only disagreed with (which is perfectly fine of course) but insulted. That's where I disagree.

Really? Awesome. Would you mind, then, sending me a photo of yourself so I can masturbate over it and E-mail you a story about the results? That'd rev my engine, for sure.

Or is it that it's only okay if you don't know about it? In that case, would you be fine if I grabbed one of your pictures from the Members Gallery, then posted a graphic fantasy about you over in the Stories section, and didn't tell you about it? You'd be cool with stumbling over something like that by accident two months later?

How many of the women that've gotten "accidentally" tickled would be piqued to know that their experiences were plastered all over a fetish website for people to jerk off over while reading?

Honestly, if someone is that enamored with me that they want to go dig up my picture and beat off to it at night, more power to me for being sexy.

As far as the story is concerned, the women who are discussed here are anonymous. They could be my neighbor, my 1st grade teacher, my mom, or even me, and I likely wouldn't even know. If someone wants to write a story inspired by an interaction with me that keeps me anonymous, they're more than welcome.

I can't say how they would feel. I can only speak for myself. And I can say, with certainty, that if I'm in the middle of a sneezing fit and I ask a stranger for a tissue, and we sit and discuss how I haven't been able to stop sneezing for the past several days because of this damn cold, and that person decides to go home to their Sneezing Media Forum and type it up I have zero problem with that.

Fair enough. So, let's say your OB/GYN went into the business because he likes fondling women. But he doesn't let on in any way that you notice. He just sets up a hidden camera in his exam room so he can tape you undressing, and record the exam for his private enjoyment later.

At what point does this cross the line? When he turns on the camera? When he shares the film on the gynecology fetish forum? Or is everything OK as long as you don't know about it and you aren't made to feel uncomfortable?

I realize that we're talking about fantasy here. And technically anything goes as long as it's not real. But I'm curious as to where you draw the line if it is real. It sounds as though as long as you don't notice you don't care, but I'm a little surprised by that.

Recording and photographing people without their consent is a far cry from giving someone a pedicure because you enjoy feet, first of all. Second of all, that is definitely not what I would consider professional behavior.

When did anyone mention photography or recording anyway? We're talking about choosing a career based that caters to your sexual interests, and performing the duties of that job like you would any other. You're just looking forward to going to work every day instead of dreading it.

You said that as long as he behaved professionally toward you, and as long as you didn't know about his ulterior motives, it wouldn't matter. So why does it matter if he's taping you, as long as his outward behavior is professional and you don't know about it?

After all, most gynecologists would consider using a patient for their own sexual satisfaction to be extremely unprofessional. But as long as you don't know...

 

[Wolf]

Okay, lemme see if I can boil it down, here..

Putting your hands on a stranger for the purpose of sexual gratification, without that person knowing that it's for sexual gratification...

Is that wrong?

Yes, but because no one knows it but the person doing it, there is no risk of repercussions and people think, "No harm, no foul." But yeah, it's wrong.

I would have to say yes. Wouldn't that fall under non-con? As in, without their consent?

 

[c7_assassin]

But I mean, who would become a pedicurist if they didn't appreciate feet? Wouldn't most people start to hate that job?

I think I agree with solescratcher here, if you're going to get completely uptight about what might be going on in someone's head while they're doing absolutely nothing wrong otherwise, well, that's pretty much the argument Muslim men use when they dress their daughters in burkas, isn't it?

As long they behave professionally and do their job well, I don't care WHY they chose that job. If they get a thrill from doing what they're job entails, good for them for choosing a career they can enjoy. Recording and photographing is an entirely different discussion.

 

[ViperGTS]

Workplace + tickling = HR involvement and you getting fired.

That's the way it works and if you tickle too many people too enthusiastically, even as a pedicurist, you'll start losing business and eventually go OUT of business, or get fired.

 

[Wolf]

Thanks, guys

I knew I could count on you two for some simple, concise reasoning.

 

[milagros317]

Manky is a total understatement ! There have been times I thought I would need a barf bag to get through the pedicure. I can't put into words the skin , nail and foot alignment disorders I've worked on, but thats my job.
If everyone had pretty feet and could maintain them on thier own, there would be no need for me at all.

Thank you for the dose of realism, I needed that. 😀

Oh I do photograph peoples feet for my studies,( with written consent) but the mere sight of them would gag a maggot...lol

Why is it a different discussion? If you don't know, why would you care? That's the logic behind the whole reasoning "I don't care if he gets off on touching my feet as long as I don't know". Why is it different if he gets off on taping you?

I swear..

I'm gonna make my own Chris Crocker-equse video...

There are many times when I do get off on touching beautiful feet , where it becomes a surreal moment.
However I have NEVER allowed video taping or unconsented cameras near my pedicure station.
What goes on in your head is your own buisness, but once it is recorded it becomes unethical.

Thank you. I couldn't agree more.

Recording someone is a huge invasion of privacy. I can't even believe some of you are trying to compare someone's personal thoughts to that. It's ridiculous.

But...

Touching them is not an invasion of privacy, as long as no one knows you're getting off on it?

Okay then.

I guess everyone in the world is just everyone else's cum sponge, (physical contact included) as long as no one has to admit it.

I don't judge people's thoughts, but I do judge what they do to other people with them.

If you're supposed to be touching the person, who cares if you enjoy it? We're not talking about rubbing up against some unsuspecting stranger on a crowded subway. You go for a service. The person performs the service (and enjoys doing it, which likely means they do a good job, and are in a good mood). You go home happy. Where's the issue?

The issue is...

That not everyone would be flattered or even okay that someone uses them in that way, when they're paid to provide a professional service.
We're not talking about enjoying doing your job, like my hairdresser friend who loves doing hair, and making people feel beautiful. We're talking about someone getting sexual pleasure from what they're doing, without the other person's consent,under the pretense of providing a professional service. It's a lot closer to rubbing up against someone on the subway. But a little more cowardly.

I believe we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

Yeah...

I pretty much gathered that early on.

Peace.

You don't understand , its not sexual. There are many of my female associates who "get off " on peoples feet.
Its like being a mechanic who works on trucks with rusted bodys and old worn out parts all day.
Well every now and then someone comes in with a well oiled Corvette or muscle car.
You get off on the pleasure of being able to touch such a fine machine, where it becomes surreal.
Also , nobody takes pictures without first asking the owner.

I believe that.

And if you think I was referring to you, I apologize. I was referring to the original poster's 'plan', and the responses of "as long as no one knows you're getting off, what's the harm?". I never saw anything in your posts that claimed you were doing anything creepy, or without consent.
