I brought this topic up in the 'hearing the word' thread, but didn't want to take over someone else's discussion, so I'll start a new thread for it.
Hey 'lees, do you like a 'ler to ask permission to tickle you first, or should he/she just dig right in?
I myself prefer it if the 'ler tickles first...no questions asked. Now, obviously, I'm not talking about giving the silent go ahead to perfect strangers that might want to just walk up to me and tickle at will. For the purposes of this discussion, we have to at least have been introduced to each other.
But as I said in the other thread, asking if you can tickle me is like asking me if it's okay to throw me a surprise party. It's just sucks all the fun out of it!
Chances are, the 'ler will know if his tickle attack is welcome or not. I tend to grit my teeth and get a very nasty NY attitude when I don't want to be tickled (or touched in anyway for that matter)...which almost never really happens. Most of the time I'm saying "STOP!" but have a huge grin on my face and a spark of fun behind my eyes.
Asking me "can I tickle you?" always gets a NO response. I guess it's just my playfully competitive nature and need to be put in a 'forced submission' position (I mean that in the most playful sense of the word, of course) that prevents me from ever saying yes to that question (even though I really may want him to). Weird? Self defeating? Probably. But I can't help it. If you take all the fight and spontanaity out of tickling, the fun goes right out with it.
Now most 'lees (well, the girls probably more than the guys) will say "It's MY body, you'd BETTER ask permission!" and I'd normally give them a resounding "AMEN SISTER!"...unless we're talking about tickling, then I guess this cheese might stand alone.
