Well, to me it is a respectfull thing. I mean, if someone deep down does not want to be tickled, then they shouldn't be.
My girlfriend will say no or stop sometimes but she really doesn't want me to stop. If I were to stop she would be disappointed.
I kinda don't get what you said. You said it is not about respect but control, and you talked about your wife, but in the story you said that in the end, she is happy. So where were you not being respectful? If her whishes are for you to tickle her like that, then you didn't do anything out of respect for her wishes.
Now of course I like feeling like I am in control when I tickle my girl but even if she is tied up, she is ultimately in control because if she really genuinelly wanted me to stop, the I would.
Are you telling me that if your wife cried for you to please stop, and she really ment it, that you would keep on going being the control freak you are?
I doubt you would.
Tickling is different from most other things when it comes to repect and control. The tickler may seem in control, especially in a bondage situation, but ultimately the ticklee's wishes are manifested, just as your wife likes what you did to her.
Unless you are one of those turds who usually end up in prison for liking control a little too much, you are never completely in control and you will always show some respect to your ticklee's whishes
