I was intereviewed about tickling fetish for a magazine

[Sereph Doll]

Hello all,
I am still a newbie here but I have been looking through the forums now for a couple of weeks. I am so glad I found this forum and also thankful for the friends I have made. About a month ago I was talking about some new tickling videos I had made with my husband on twitter and I was contacted by Closer magazine in the UK. They asked me if I would be willing to talk about my experience and provide some pictures. I had a really nice lady who interviewed me and she laughed through the entire interview which was really adorable. Maybe tickling fetish is becoming more and more popular. If any of you are in the UK maybe you have seen it? We used fake names and location for our privacy but I just wanted to share with you guys about it 🙂 Here are some photos that we took for the article and a picture of the actual print. We are still waiting for our copy in the mail

Great interview!!! 🙂 I love your safe word...! So cute!!!! 🙂 Sounds like you 2 are having SO much fun!!!!! 🙂

 

[Sereph Doll]

Thank you 🙂

 

[a7hgsir4h3jk]

Wha......

This lady posted in the Welcome section a little while ago looking for people to interview and then disappeared. Interesting that she actually went through with it.

Reputation redeemed. That why you don't talk bad of someone until proven you have reasons to.

Great interview. Good for you having the balls to be so open, even if you did change your names and such.

 

[tickletherapist]

That's great. Way to go!
Tickling is fun 🙂

Great! An article in which we aren't real weirdos and whackos!

Wouldn't expect anyone to see us as such, to be honest, and if they did I personally wouldn't care. I remember us being ridiculed on 'SomethingAwful.com' ('article' doesn't exist anymore) but I didn't care one bit. I neither cared about Howard Stern ridiculing the tickling fetish and inviting Yaqi over as part of his Whack Pack. Generally there is no reason for us to have a persecution complex, for tickling generally is a rather 'clean' turnon.

I completely agree 🙂 I had no clue that Howard Stern talked about it though. Why would anyone ridicule a fetish as fun as this?

 

[Goatboy]

Very nice! Looks like you both have a lot of fun!

Well, Howard Stern is not a ticklephile and I don't see it as 'ridiculing our fetish'. They were rather making fun of the one person they invited over, Yaqi, who himself didn't mind getting invited over as that 'odd purveyor of tickling videos'. They were relentless at Yaqi though and this for entertainment value, all the while he got invited over and occasionally got to tickle hot women on his show. You know how Howard Stern is. He's like a circus ring master. And this happened during the early 2000s.

Not the most flattering way of representing our fetish as you can see (well it's on Stern after all), but ultimately people still think tickling is one of the more 'innocent' fetishes out there..

It's common vanilla thinking. "Why would you want to tickle a woman's feet vs pound her pussy?" Style thinking.

That being said you're adorable and great article!

 

[chicago]

I think people greatly generalize and are fearful of vanillas due to their own shame about what they're into and fear of judgment/rejection. I really think most men are not just about pounding pussy but yeah, us vs them mentality

You don't think Howard generalizes Yaqi (and other tickling fetishists) through the first ten minutes of the interview? Within that time he drops a slew of pointed questions "Are you very lonely and do you live in a basement, have you ever kidnapped a bus full of children, are you straight, do you tickle men, don’t you want to bang women, do you know you have a feminine voice" and admits several times that he'd rather just bang a woman. I mean I don't know, but yaqi retired from tickling due to "illness", you think maybe he just got sick of all the bullshit that was pushed on him?

Pornhub, xhamster, youporn, etc, it's all basically anal and vaginal penetration and "creampie"/blowjob/pussylicking/handjob videos, what am I supposed to take away from this? That it's not about penetration? I mean part of the reason why there's a stigma against men is because all this stuff I'm mentioning is prettymuch on the front page of each website in plain view, and to top it off, there's plenty of thirsty guys looking to send shots of their cocks to women via their phones. What guys are really into? Who knows? I haven't went out of my way to find out, but when I'm into tickling and I'm trying to find someone, I'm expecting them to expect me to be just another guy looking to get it in.

You could point out every instance of judgment and it still doesn't reflect the norm, imo, it reflects some people listening to Howard stern or watching vids on pornhub. I don't know if that's something to run off with and lump everyone in as.

Right but if you're generally supposed to react to people based on their thoughts and actions, Stern, Lang, etc all come across as biased; they're interested in screwing. And that's cool, but I'm not going to have in my head "welp, there must be something else that they need". Also, they're middle-aged. Generally people have what they're interested in set by that time. As for the porn.....that's like the barometer for the average person who comes to pornhub to see porn. But I feel like this all reflects onto me when I'm just more or less the oddball that likes walking away with some new fap memories after a session. Tickling for me after a session feels like the equivalent of "scoring".

When negativity is coming from Howard Stern, I know to not let it get to me. Being ridiculed by Stern makes you still pretty normal. I do think ultimately Howard Stern just has no opinion about it. He's all about the entertainment (at the expense of others in this case). Sexuality is a personal matter and anything that is not fucking is prone to ridicule. We all love fucking. Hence those videos score the most views. 😛 Not that I watch that many videos involving fucking though, but I'm not 100% consuming tickling images and videos neither. I prefer softcore erotic modelling to action when it doesn't involve tickling. I just don't enjoy watching other dudes.

 

[chicago]

Do you think entertainers are always genuine when performing / putting on a show? Especially when the audience of that show is pretty much focused on people who laugh at dudes getting their assholes waxed? Do you think Howard Stern and a fat heroin addict who stabbed himself like 5 times represent the average middle aged man?

As for porn, I'd imagine there's many different forms, like tickle porn, etc so it's not all the same.

I don't know why you'd wonder what Artie Lang or Stern needs based on their actions that pertains to the average person and tickling? And what's that got to do with this article?

Agreed. We shouldn't switch topic and hijack Sereph Doll's thread. I will say no more about Stern and Artie other than that I agree. They're exaggerating just for the show and in reality probably are just neutral about what others enjoy in their privacy.

Perhaps you missed this:

I'm sure they're grilling for the sake of grilling but what actually sells Stern is the fact that A: he's honest and B: he's basically asking what people probably think but don't say. Lang is just a guest but it's the same shit with a different label. Anyway, moving forward.

 

[chicago]

I mean, no offense but Yaqi was on a mission to make this shit mainstream and that might have been where he got the hairy eye from people.

Honestly from comments I've seen on tickling Pornhub videos with 100k+ views is always something like "wtf am I watching... It's kinda hot" - and that sort of thing has been basically my experience with every girl I've tickled. They've been a bit turned off by the idea initially, but once they go through with it, they seem interested to try it again. If someone was in a group of 10 people and said they like tying up and tickling women, they'd probably get laughed at. If one person stumbles on a video at 1am when they're perusing a porn site, they might have a different reaction towards it.

I showed a girlfriend a tickle video and she was like "oh.. that's it?" And I said "yeah what were you expecting?" And she said "oh I mean, they really do just tickle them the whole time, no sex or anything" and I said "well yeah... it's sort of a niche thing and if you wanna watch penetration videos there's plenty of them" and she said "I still don't totally get it, but alright". The sexual connection between us fetishists and tickling is what confuses people. Most people could find tickling erotic, but to enjoy it so much sexually that we can get off to it, that's where they get confused.

 

[chicago]

Maybe the fear is realizing it's not what everyone else thinks of you but what you think of you. It's easier to keep things hidden if you rationalize it like me vs them.

 

[eddieT]

I'll be honest here, kids. If I were to pick 1 person to be the standard bearer of tickling to the mainstream community, Yaqi would not be close to being that person.
