Bondage is indeed awesome. I was thinking of starting a thread about it, but this one is close enough to my mindset on things that it'll work.
It's probably obvious from some of the treads I already add to with any regularity, but bondage is the thing for me, first and foremost. I imagine the majority of fellow theater-goers would choose tickling as their top fetish.
Oh, don't get me wrong, when I think of bondage...it's almost expressly with a mind to eventual tickling. Given the choice between the two, though, I have a lifelong fascination with bondage, and wouldn't care to tickle(or be tickled) to any decent level without someone being bound during the encounter.
This'll sound loopy, but with the kind of tickling I'm talking about, to a victim as ticklish as I happen to be, it's a really good idea they be restrained..for BOTH parties protection! No-one wants an inadvertent knee to the groin/poke-in-the-eye/elbow-to-the-neck. Spoils the fun, don't ya know?
That's why I honestly believe that bondage-games between two trusting, sane partners is the optimal way to experience tickling. But, I know this is only a preference, and it's understandable if others don't share it.
I guess a decent way of putting things might be that, for me the tickling spices-up the bondage, while for many(most?) here, the bondage spices-up the tickling.
Blame Papi. He's the one that got me to thinking at length on the topic... :happy:
