No weekend update from the OP? He was going to give his aunt's feet another go-round and get back to us, as I recall.

Okay, I will share a little story here that I haven't told to very many people before, because up to this day I still feel uncomfortable about it. I hear so often, that it doesn't matter if the person tickling others gets aroused from it or not, but believe me, it does!
When I was younger, my grandma used to have neighbors that I sometimes used to visit and bring them leftovers from what my grandma cooked. They were about my grandma's age, and the guy always wanted a hug. I never quite liked it, but hey....I was a kid, so I did it. When I grew older, about 14, 15, one day when the guy hugged me I realized that he had a boner pressing against me. I never ever went there again, I felt confused, dirty, used and abused. And that was just a hug!
It does something in people when you use them to get your rocks off, and even though it took me a long time to realize that it happened, in the end I realized what was going on, and it made me feel bad. Eventually, stuff like this comes out, and there most likely will be hard feelings involved.
First of all, there's no "flame war" here, unless you're trying to start one. I did not tell anybody they were "full of BS." I stated that I personally didn't believe one particular story, and I explained why. What I flagged as "BS" was the subtle notion that tickling the foot of a 36-year old Aunt was tantamount to rape and pedophilia.Lamest post ever award. Have our flame wars really sunk so low that a member shares a childhood experience and we say, "you're full of BS and even if you are not full of BS, who cares, you should have shrugged it off."
David, read my words very carefully, because I don't want there to be any mistake. Without any hesitation whatsoever, I would say to the poster of that story face to face the same thing I did in my response, word for word. In fact, should such an opportunity somehow arise, I would be sure to bring along a print-out of my comments, to make sure I don't miss a single syllable.I once advocated a rule. Don't post something you wouldn't say if the other person were in the room with you. Seems like a good rule. And yes, I'd gladly say this to DAJT. And DAJT, PLEASE do not respond by saying that you would say all that to Rhiannon to her face. It would get you the new "incredibly, even lamer post award."
Except we both know that the bulk of readers of this forum are from the USA. In our minds, a 14-year old girl is still a child, and the legal technicalities overseas aren't going to have the slightest impact on that perception.Just so you know, in Germany the legal age to have sex is 14. I would not have qualified as a child, nor he as a pedophile.
I would hope that people are aware that it's not a good idea to start tickling people just because they can, or that "it's just tickling". If you start becoming creepy to the point where you ignore a person's choice about something that happens to their own body, then those idiots deserve every bad karma thing that happens to them.
But of course, that was the whole point of this story. To cast people like the OP in the same moral category as pedophiles. To suggest that not only is tickling somebody unaware of your fetish akin to rape, it's akin to pedophilia as well.

I'm just wondering who besides myself has difficulty taking this story seriously, especially with the old man in question conveniently absent and hence, unable to present his side of the story. Quite frankly, I don't believe a word of it, and here's why.
I stand by my earlier comments.

Tickling someone without their permission is wrong, and you just don’t do that, and it has nothing to do with the fact that rape and pedophilia are also wrong. IT is wrong.
Let's make this clear: the above statement is an opinion, not a fact.
It's another example of people passing off their moral POV as the gospel truth.
There are no laws being broken here.
Tickling is not assault.
No one goes to jail.
no sir, you happen to be wrong here. it varies state by state, but to tickle someone with out their consent can be ciminal in nature, all depends if the victim wants to call the cops. here in illinois unlawfull tickling is charged as a felony, "deviant sexual assualt". and yes i saw cases prosecuted when i was a member of the c.p.d.
one case you are correct, tickling is not assualt, it is under the clasification of "battery". here in illinois assualt is verbal, battery is physical.
To say "tickling w/o permission is wrong" is wrong.
maybe to you, but not to the thinking prudent world. so i say, go ahead, go tickle someone against their will, let's see what happens.
