Consent Counts

[Mane'o]

While the universe of tickling covers a broad spectrum, a large segment of our tickling world includes tickling as an integral part of intimacy and sexual life. The NCSF - National Coalition for Sexual Freedom has a program going called "Consent Counts!" It is part of an approach to fetish life that includes the mantra, "safe, sane, consensual."

From time to time the consent issue raises its head in this forum, often with fiery and emotional debate.

It has always seemed to me a reasonable and rational thing that tickling, or the community of tickling as part of the larger fetish community, adopt and observe that same approach - that sexually oriented tickling is an activity among consenting adults.

Or perhaps we should consider a broader consent umbrella for any most tickling.

This should go without saying I would have thought

safe sane consensual.

So it's not PC if you like non-consensual? I mean is it against forum rules to talk about it?

I like consensual non-consent play, but actual non-consensual does nothing for me.

Kink play 101 more or less. The traffic lights - green/fine, yellow/breather, red/stop scene with a general safe word ... i think its Panda from what i remember. No drugs, no getting drunk, dont look / dont touch without permission. closed doors are closed for a reason. no means no. and if you cant follow dungeon owners instructions dont bitch when you get kicked out with a black eye. simple.

Exactly. When the role is "non-consensual" that can make for a lot of fun for both ler and lee. But putting someone through a tickle session who does not want to be tickled is the equivalent of rape.

I doubt it's against forum rules to talk about it, but people shouldn't get whiny if they get bitched out for it.
