Fetish chart...or where we rank

[Fairfeather]

It's possible that this has been posted here before, but I thought maybe you would all like to see where tickling ranks in the grand scheme of things. Basically in the outer right rim of the fetish galaxy near the hurt/comfort sector. The feet people are a little closer in. (The blue sector)

 

[theshire]

There's some proper wierd and manky stuff near us. Wounded men? Crying women? Check out some of the necrophile stuff. Yeuch! 😱

Still, I guess they think that sort of thing about us.

 

[Fairfeather]

I believe that symbol counts for both tickling and spanking.

Oh God--In my whole life I never felt any where CLOSE to normal until I saw that chart (which was fascinating but also made me dizzy, not to mention sick to my stomach)--Scat? Bird neck wringing? Amputee WANNABES??

Please, someone quick--bring me a bucket (with apologies to Monty Python--and Wayne's World)I am gonna hurl...

But seriously, thanx for sharing that OP (orignal poster) <gg> and showing me how surprisingly well adjusted I am...

XOXO

Seriously, tickling seems such a minor fetish of that chart. Methinks fetish is closely linked to harmful practices these days, and tickling is the most harmless thing out there.

 

[Fairfeather]

That was kinda what I hoped this chart would help to show when I posted it. Compared to what's out there tickling is indeed a rather minor and tame province of the fetish world. 🙂

I think that's the reason we have such a diverse clientele here. 🙂

Cheers.😀

Took me a bit to find it. (On the far right for anyone else interested, right off of the hurt/comfort)

Definitely interesting in seeing the relation between them all. We are minor and still mostly harmless, but it's amazing how things connect and branch out still.

For some of those ones like Steph mentioned... I'm holding it in till I get a bucket.

Sad thought of the moment: The fact that somewhere out there someone defended beastiality on the chart, stating how the animals were not "unwilling" 🙄

 

[theshire]

It's hardly surprising that we're not viewed with the brightest of lights. I never thought I'd see myself on the same chart as snot-eating fetishists. That's the problem: vanillas group us all together.

 

[steph]

I KNOW!

No doubt Wraith, I'm an animal lover since I was a BABY and can I just agree with you and add a "Good God"!!!

If I didn't think Armageddon was coming before I know it for a fact now.

PS--I brought you a clean bucket honey, BTW--I hope you like the color blue--it's all they had! <gg>

XOXO

Man,that is confusing,reminds me when,we had to do flow charts in college.I didn't understand them,and I don't understand this chart lol...


Well maybe some day I will catch on

 

[Double T]

Who? What? Where? Huh? Oh my! The room is spinning around and 'round! Ahh! Look at all the pretty colors! Nighty night! *Thud*

 

[f/f]

lol ya that chart is good for people who think there weird cuz of a tickling fetish.... bird torture and car fetishses... now thats weird

 

[Darkknight]

Whoa... it took me a while to find us on that chart!
Very interesting. Definately thought Mz Gates had to do the chart over about women dominating tickling but the fact that it was also in the spanking area, then.. ok. 🙂

Wild stuff. Damn, every time I think I have a weird kink, there are others that make me feel so... plain. 😉

we are in the minor fetish category, with a strong established link to S/M, a conceptual link to hurt/comfort and a notably high ratio of female fetishists.

pretty interesting stuff! where is it from?

 

[Fairfeather]

The chart was created by author Katharine Gates. Here is a link if you want to read more about her. Be aware that there are a few explicit pictures there as well.

thanks, Fairfeather. I’d love to order her book but I’d be afraid to have it in the house lol!

I love my fetish. 🙂 I will never judge consenting, human adults for what they want to do with each other in their own bedrooms... but boy oh boy...

ps

I've been peeking at your artwork for a while now. you have a real talent and I love the funny/cute spin you put on most of your stuff.

Hey Steph, it's just like that purity test I posted in off-topic. Honest to god, when I took the test, there were many things I just shook my head at in disbelief ("people actually DO THAT STUFF"? There were a couple terms I didn't even know....things I never heard of (and probably glad I haven't).

Tying up and tickling Traci a couple weeks ago was by far the kinkiest thing either of us have ever done (as my 93% and her 86% on the purity test attest). Sadly, tell many folks you have a fetish....even a mild one, and your automatically stereotyped as a weirdo, criminal, or perv 🙁

Thanks Alya. Trying to tickle the occasional funny bone is the best I can do in cyberspace. As far as I know it doesn't even rate as a fetish. 😀

 

[tklgal226]

wow.....i can honestly say that i've NEVER felt quite so normal!!! i always thought this was the strangest fetish to have....lol, was i ever wrong!

thanks fairfeather, not only did u enlighten me, but u really boosted my self-esteme!!! 😀

[Admiral Trouser]

Some of that chart appears to be...innacurate, if you take it that proximity of one fetish on the chart to another fetish indicates that the two are closely linked in some way: Shoe/foot-fetish seems to be an *awfully* long way away from tickling, and to my mind many foot-ticklers on this board are so primarily because of there foot-fetish. Just thought I'd bring that up, boring as it may be...

Anyway, yes, very pretty :S

OMG , I'm NORMAL!

Let's not go overboard, here. 🙄

Cheers.😛

Tracy,
If you really want the book, order it and have it delivered to me. I will keep it for you and we can read it together.
