I post here rarely because...

... I'm not really sure how much tickling means to me. Its definitely my fetish and it definitely turns me on but its not that intense. However, I sometimes come here and the way people act (especially the attention some of the females get) borders on seedy and it gets me down a little. This is also apparent on YouTube where people leave comments such as "I'd love to tie you up and tickle you all night long" and I'm not sure whether everybody addresses their sexual desires so bluntly and so intensely that it really does become creepy. I guess I needed to get this off my chest, but also to ask, 'how much does tickling really mean to you?' Sometimes enjoyment borders on mania and desperation from where I am sitting.

Don't let the creepers get your discouraged. They may seem to be everywhere, but really they're easy enough to ignore.

Next, tickling doesn't have to rule your world, and probably shouldn't, for you to come here and enjoy the content and/or discussion. Tickling is a huge part of who I am, but I spend far more time in General Discussion than TK Discussion, if for no other reason than there is a variety of other topics there that I have something to say about.

People are always going to be outrageous when hiding beyond the anonymity of the interwebz. Don't worry be happy 🙂 It's fun here!

Firstly you are doing yourself and the rest of this community by lumping us in with the people on YouTube who are there only for their own sexual gratification. There are creepy people there and obviously there are some too. But there are creeps, jackasses, and losers everywhere in the world. You miss out on a lot if you pay them too much regard.

How much does tickling mean to me. A lot. While it is my fetish and one of my favorite activities, it means a lot to me most importantly because it allowed me to meet a lot of amazing people I'd have otherwise known, friends that I talk to almost daily about anything, very rarely tickling.

If you want to chat, feel free to pm me anytime.

There are creeps in every group....that shouldn't keep you from doing anything, or you have to lock yourself up! 🙂

For me, tickling is a big turn-on. But I can live without it and don't need it for a gratifying sex-life.

I totally know what you mean about the creeps. It gives me this weird sense of embarassment that people see or hear that person and if they knew I was into the same thing they'd think I was the same!

But I mean you get the same with guys about regular things on the internet. The internet itself comes across as pretty seedy most of the time.

A normal man says, "Yeah, girl! I'd like to ride you all night long!"

No other men get embarrassed.

Embarrassment. lol.

Sure, there's people who are uber obsessed with their sexuality. But, I think that's more of an attempt to learn how to be comfortable with their sexuality on their part (like adolescents when they first start having sex)... not necessarily something creepy or manic. You have to benignly take into consideration people's intentions when they act a little daffy. Otherwise, you end up giving yourself a biased explanation of other people's actions. And, at least 80% of the time, the benign explanation is more accurate.

Personally, I just laugh because I see it as goofy people being goofy. And, let's be honest, there's a lot of goofy things to laugh at sex wise.

There's also people who come on here only when they're having a bad day or a rough time and 'spread' their dis-ease to other people. Then, there's the folks on here who get all riled up about something silly and go on some weird rant about how they think barbie shows too much boobage during the summer.

I personally like to stay off the internet a lot. Mainly because its such a piss poor example of what people really act like in public. Even I don't talk this much in real life because I'm much more of a listener. But, you wouldn't be able to figure that out from my long winded posts on this forum.

If I was in a group of people who hardly knew each other and a guy said that to a girl I think things would get awkward for everyone except the guy who dosn't know what is and isn't proper to say to someone you've just met.

That being said, you can try to ignore the creepers, and I don't think it would be unacceptable to let someone know when they've crossed the line. When I see those kinds of posts online it upsets me because people like that ensure that tickling will be considered taboo for longer than it should, but I just move on to the next post where someone usually has something more constructive to say.

It is an unfortunate thing that happens, but it shouldn't stop you. Just like when people write mean derogatory comments on regular videos on YouTube, and those people continue making videos. There's always going to be creeps, mean people, etc. But I've learned early in life that if you make decisions on what you do because of what other people say or do, then you pretty much are giving them what they want.

So by all means don't let someone creepy stop you. Or even better, point them out on their creepiness, sometimes people don't know how something sounds to another person when they say it. A lot of times, people (usually men) get uber-excited when they see someone else (usually a woman) shares a tickling interest, and just automatically assumes tickling will take place and they can be as direct as they want tickle-wise.

But just because you have a similar interest doesn't mean you are going to feel comfortable having some stranger say "I wanna tickle you all night long" (which, news flash people, if you do that to someone, they might die, and then you'll have other problems on your hands 🙂

And just so you know, it can happen to all of us. I had an experience back in college where a man from another state that I still to this day do not know found my personal info through an online directory and mailed me a letter in graphic detail about how he wanted to tickle me, even though I have never online shown an interest to participating in m/m tickling. I wasn't even a member of the forum yet! That could've been enough to stop this altogether. But now, I've even some nice, normal, respectable people in this community that I wouldn't have if I would have let one creep stop me.

I've even gone to dungeons where the ladies there have complimented me on being "a genetleman" with them. Even paid people aren't fans of creepy!

Hope my rambling helps you get past the weirdness you might feel and helps you be more comfortable interacting with the community. You may have so swim through some strange, but you could end up meeting some cool friends. Hey, I might be one of them! 🙂

Cheers, dude. I appreciate the effort you made there; truly admirable!
