Hi Everyone,
For the couples out there who are willing to share, I'm curious how you met each other. Was it at a tickle fetish gathering, a general fetish gathering, online (through TMF or Fetlife), or somewhere else completely outside the fetish world? What was your experience like in meeting who is now your significant other, and what had you choose him/her? I'm gladly welcoming responses from those who have 'vanilla' partners who you're completely fulfilled in relationship with as well (whether you play with others outside the relationship or have introduced your partner to tickling).
What has me ask? Well, I want what you have. I long and desire for that special someone to walk into my life--that person with whom I can share the joy, the process, the work, and the growth of a deep, committed, lifelong, loving relationship with. Through various relationships I've had in the past, whether casual or committed, I've realized just how much the freedom to fully express and consciously act on my sexuality means to me. And while I'm still exploring whether it's a necessity for me to have a partner with a tickling fetish, I know it's a necessity for me to tickle play with my partner in a way that's both mutually enjoyable and fulfilling.
I think anything is possible, so I want to hear about all of the ways that people in this community have actually found that "special someone" I speak of. Of course, I'm not expecting some type of "magic pill" type of answer out of this, but I think hearing the various stories will give me some perspective. If nothing else, I'll probably enjoy some beautiful, heartwarming stories 🙂
As far as my situation goes, I've understandably not had much luck online, and I completely understand that there are tons of factors involved that make it a challenge (the fact that women tend to receive TONS of messages from men they don't know, as well as men who they feel uncomfortable or unsafe around... not to mention that the online world can be an unsafe environment anyway). On top of that, I simply enjoy meeting others in person more, as I think we both experience each other more fully when interacting face to face.
I've gone to gatherings (both tickle gatherings and general fetish gatherings), both of which I've enjoyed very much and have met many people who are now good friends. The size of the tickle community seems to be limited in itself though, as much as it has grown over the years. There also seem to be a lot of ticklephiles who don't go gatherings, so it seems like I can only meet so many in person. At the general fetish gatherings I've been to, I've found that all the women I've shared interest in so far were either not ticklish or HATED being tickled.
Of course, I'm still looking, and will continue to do so until I either find her or die trying 🙂 And simultaneously, I'm creating a life that is enjoyable for ME, independent of whether I'm with someone or not. Hey, my perspective is the only thing I can control right?
Thanks all!
