WOW! I never realized that there were so many people out there that didn't like being tickled by a family member or seeing someone in their family tickled. One thing I do see, is it seems that all these folks have a sexual feeling when it comes to tickling. Myself, I don't relate tickling to sex unless it's with someone that I would have sex with. Otherwise, it's two totally different things to me. I love tickling as tickling, period! Doesn't matter to me who is doing it, or who is being tickled. If someone is laughing, I'm ok with it. But, that's what makes the world go round. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and should be respected for it.
