My bf tickles me every single day. We go to sleep together and wake up together, and he's the sweetest man I've ever met. Yes, we met through a fet site, and our tickle fetish is a good portion of what drew us together, but we've also built a pretty amazing life together and I can't imagine -- except with a profound sadness -- going back to that dull, gray, boring life I was living before he came along.
Before I met him, the women I dated -- and it was exclusively women -- were cold, distant and resisted letting me touch them, let alone tickle them. I'm happier than I've ever been in my life and a good part of that is that I'm dating someone who shares my love of tickling.
So is it a deal-breaker? If it wasn't before, it sure SHOULD have been, and I can tell you, it for DAMN sure is now. 🙂
