I am Caucasian straight single short petite female Lee and Ler, personally for me friendship is crucial first and tickling for me is many things at same time . For me tickling ,being tickled is multiple levels so bear with me as I explain what it is for me,can be,and the different levels as I specify .
On one hand ,Tickling can be playful with both genders, race is not a factor ,sexual orientation doesn't matter as long as respect is given and they must be 18+ and communication about likes,wants ,limits,boundaries is important as I enjoy tickling to please,make the other person laugh,squirm and that comes with no strings attached .
Tickling,being tickled is ,can also be a form of showing affection to those I care about,a way of expressing affection similar to a hug without strings and both genders,race,sexual orientation,age 18+ applies here too.
In this next level ,it can be the tickling ,affection combined with the attraction and I am straight attracted solely to males race in this level is not a factor,sexual orientation I prefer Straight,age 21+ to older men and strings can or not be attached.
Lastly,The ultimate level I haven't found yet tickling is,can be the tickling,affection combined with the sexual level with Straight Men always had attraction to Caucasian men 21+ to older men but race is not a deal breaker.Not talking about sexual relations with men who desire one night stands,nor sexual relations for pleasure only.This would be a level in a relationship with attachment,loyalty ,ties with potential for long term where we are exclusive to each other where loyalty,trust,respect is given sharing our love for tickling with each other . We are primarly each other's partner,tickler,lee but also would enjoy sharing our love for tickling,being tickled not only with each other but he would not be possessive,controlling and would not be upset having other guys tickle me or me not mind him being tickled by other ladies knowing that limits,boundaries will be respected and my partner would always be present .
