Chrisheaven, you'd make a great politician. You agree with everybody. I'm still waiting to hear from Shannon, though. I had a suspicion from Shannon's first post that it was about money. Had she come right out and made it clear she was offering a paid service, I would have had no problem with it. I totally support free enterprise. What I don't support is misleading advertising. She infers that she's wanting and waiting for somebody to tickle because she loves to tickle. This may seem a trivial point, but it isn't.
I think that for me definitely, and perhaps for many if not most lees, that there is a big difference between being tickled by a woman who wants to tickle, and a woman who doesn't really care. I've had women tickle me only because I asked them too, and when they did, it was...okay at best. Their heart wasn't really in it, and for some reason I can't quite articulate, that plays a major factor. So why do I ask them? I ask them in hopes that by them actually tickling me they'll feel the control they exert, and it might be enough to jump-start latent sadistic tendencies that have remained hidden. It might overcome their fear of a hostile reaction.
But I digress. The point I'm hopefully making is that the tickler's motives are an important psychological factor in the tickler/victim relationship. If she's doing it out of a love for tickling, or a desire to dominate and/or torture a man, then it really shouldn't involve money. Put it this way. How many guys looking for female lees say, "Hey, I'd love to tickle you, lets get together! Oh, by the way, it's going to cost you some money..."?
It's not my intent to cast dispersions on Shannon's rights to do business or Milagros' practices of paying for such services. I just don't like the way Shannon misled her intentions, and I believe it was deliberately done so. She throws out the hook, and once it's bitten, then she lowers the boom. If this same ad were in the Yellow Pages instead of a tickling forum, that would be different. You'd know from the start that Shannon is representing a business. But her placing this add here is like a prostitute placing an add in the singles personals saying "looking to meet a man."
