couple questions about the "novelty"....

[steph]

Hey Friends~

In a recent post, (I think it was Danimal) someone was talking about "when the novelty wears off." I know this is kind of a lame question because I'm sure it's different for everybody but if the "novelty wore off" for you, how long did it take--months, years? I'm sure for some it never wears and I'm wayyyyyy too new so no, I'm not asking about myself, but I was just curious about things like how did you know? Was it just a random thing or did something particular happen?

Hmmm...

I'm nearly 50 now, and this fascination is just about the same strength as ever. I don't think it will ever wear off...thank goodness...lol.

Q

 

[steph]

Ya, I'm hoping so too <gg>.
Right now the interest is reaching kind of obscene levels--I guess because I'm new (feel little bit like a kid in a candy store here!) I'm sure to get busted for "oversurfing" at work so I was wondering when most people found it sort of settled a little. Thanx for speedy reply Q!

XOXO

Nearly 50 myself and it's like it was only yesterday that I discovered my "fondness" for making the ladies laugh....😀

"Nearly" 50

That's putting it mildly...hehe. I shan't say more because I was brought up to respect my elders and wait till the old folks go to bed before having too much fun.

Q

Ive wondered about this too. If I met someone who was into tickling or having their feet played with would it "wear off". I really hope it doesnt although if your with someone whose not into it that might take the edge off and not make it fun for you anymore.
I think if ya meet someone whose into it itll never become boring becuz youll both find different ways and things to keep it exciting since your both into it.
I think it could only wear off more if your with someone whose not into it.

I’m not sure which post you are referring to... but I’m betting that “the novelty wearing off” is more about that “oh my God, that‘s it! that‘s what I was talking about!” feeling. and the urgency you feel to make up for all of that lost time.

I really can’t see the love of sharing something like this with someone else fading.

At 42, I've had this fetish and passion for tickling and pretty feet since age 11 (darn that Tonya D. and her cute little hotpink painted toenails 😀 -- and it's never ebbed.

I have loved being tickled as well as tickling since I was a kid. If anything has changed, it is that I love it more as I grow older.

The Gathering Quandry..

Actually I thought going to a gathering would relieve me of the "novelty" of tickling or the NEED to tickle...however yes in the short term the gatherings filled my tickle need, however in the short term..oh the next day...I would have this almost uncontrollable need to tickle every lady I saw!!!
Tickling is like a drug, the more you get the more you want it!!!

 

[steph]

I've never attended gathering but I'm kind of feeling same way...

Bingo

This is exactly what I was referring to. I guess I just took it for granted that everybody'd identify with that...

No, it never "wears off", thank GOD!

stephie - poo

i really don't think it ever wears off.

this is why i'm thinking of joining a monastery - i don't have enough tickling in my life, and i'm getting too frustrated.

i may go on a hunger strike until some gracious woman comes to NY or NJ and lets me tickle her. naturally i expect to lose 50 pounds and be renourished intraveneously.

🙁

Excellent question Steph! For myself, I have loved tickling since a toddler and I still love it just as much or more today...BUT...I have gone through spells where it has taken the good ole "back seat" for a while. I have so many reasons I could list as to "why", but I will only state a few. First and foremost would be the "vanilla" world stuff, or real life if you will. Sometimes your job, relationship, money and stress related problems can really diminish your tickling passion. Sure, I still think about it, but the fire is merely just a small flame at times like those. My life has to be in order for me to enjoy it fully. Sometimes, our own online community can cause me to step away. What I mean by that is I cannot figure for the life of me why *some* people in the tk community turn out to be complainers and trouble-makers. I know there are those in every walk of life, but I never imagined that so many would be involved/into the tickling scene. Mainly, I am reffering to the old AMT dayz...I usually have a very good experience whenever I browse the TMF...but at times I just shake my head.

Now, when I first came online back in 96, that's when the "novelty" of it hit full force after I typed in "tickling" in the search bar! The internet instantly gave me a "tickling rush" that I had never felt...to finally find so many others like me, or into what I was so to say, was spine tingling. I couldn't wait to get home from work/wherever so I could log on and click on every link I could find. Soon, I had seen everything and the novelty wore off after about 3 or 4 months, so that's when I started my own project and created the HotelTickle website...a site the way *I* wanted it and a site to provide original stories, photos, audio wavs, artwork and more. This gave me a big high, and for the next two years I was on cloud 9 for I was meeting people in the community, creating material and just plain having the time of my life. Tickling WAS my drug of choice (and budweiser...lol)

As with everything though it seems, it came to an end and my desire once again started to fade out for a while. I guess what I am getting to is that it comes and goes and that definatley OTHER things in life affect it to a degree. But I do know that it will be with me forever and I always look forward to the next "unexpected" adventure which always gets me going for a bit!!!

peace out,
daddy

Just to add my humble opinions, I agree that there might be periods where the other aspects of your life will cause a lessening of the tickle rush, but it always comes back, and usually as strong or moreso that before! I've been online for a long time, and I still love to tickle, even expand into being tickled, occasionally now, too. And if steph's intro is any indication, she'll be a total tickle devotee, esp. after her first gathering, if Danimal has anything to do with it. 😀

daddy makes a lot of sense...

daddy posted something that I also should have said (btw daddy...I absolutely loved your site. It was one of the first I found when coming onboard the internet in 2000, and was totally awesome! 🙂 🙂

Steph, even though I've had a fascination with tickling since age 11, there have been times when I've seen it take less of a priority in my life....when a family member was sick or passed away for example, or when I wasn't feeling well emotionally (when a relationship ended; after a tragedy such as 9/11/01 🙁 --However, each and every time my fascination and interest for tickling has returned just as strong as before.

Why, just today I was eating lunch at a local hospital cafeteria where an elderly relative was admitted last night, and caught myself watching two cute female hospital employees in line; wondering how ticklish they were and where; and if they were taking their lunch to a secluded meeting room to kick off their shoes and await the arrival of a sneaky tickling orderly (or someone pretending to be one 😀

has never worn off

there are periods where the tickle urge gets monsterously stronger, then settles back to the normal pervert level. there have been a period or two when i was pissed at myself for loving this "thing" so much. like it was a weakness that i was alowing my spouse to use against me, during periods of marital difficulty.

Should I stay or should I go?

Steph, should it ever wear off for you, let me know and I will see what I can do to help you get it back.😉 Would you do the same for me, my tickling dynamo?

Q

LOL, Steph, to the contrary, I find the desire only gets stronger with age,LOL 😀

 

[steph]

Re: Should I stay or should I go?

Deal, Em.
Although like a lot of "the gang" have mentioned, I'm pretty sure we're not in danger, loving it like we do...

XOXO

[Tidas]

not for me!

My urge to tickle gets stronger by the minute practically. I have never really tickled a woman like I want to, so I'm sure this will drive me nuts until I do. Then it will get worse!

Hey Steph,

As a life-long lover of tickling, I can also assure you that this will not be a passing fad, but rather an evolution. Each encounter that you have, each person you chat with will enlighten you to new styles, techniques, toys...

I fear that the real problem occurs as we get older and our love of tickling is still there but some of us may not have anybody to play with.

The only way I know to lose this love is throught extremely tramatic experiences. May you, and everybody here, never face such a tramatic experience.

Happy tickles!!!

Right back at ya Mr.!

[TickledToDeath]

Tickling has NEVER been a "novelty" to me. It is a part of me so the love FOR it will never wear off however some day, in the distant future I am reasonably sure I will become either less ticklish or physically unable to handle it as I can now and in the past unless having a heart attack while being tickled is the way I wish to exit this existance🙄 . Otherwise, I will always love tickling.

[steph]

No clue about that one babe...There's rumor of one of these crazees MAYBE having a party/gathering sometime this spring...Actually according to QB Jan, they're all pretty vicious 'round here...but who knows?
Right now the Sactown group's all just a bunch of wacko Munchmates satisfied with topping each other with the wisecracks and freaking out baffled waitresses... ("WHAT does TMF stand for??")

XOXO
