It's absurd to think the "community" has voiced their opinion when we can't even agree if a poke in the ribs is a violation of personal space or not.
Newsflash: 99.99% of all tickling in the world is non-con.
To an outsider looking in, this must be the most ridiculous thread in history.
A tickling forum, that views tickling without consent and a contract as deplorable.
Oh, the humanity!
I was only saying that it’s good that people opposed to non-consensual tickling, myself included, are speaking out against it and that we shouldn’t be discouraged when “non-con advocates” come together and try to justify it with their “mind bending twists of logic” like Mane’o said. You saying “it’s absurd to think the community has voiced their opinion when we can’t even agree if a poke in the ribs is a violation of personal space or not” makes no sense. There is no “we” nor is there ever an agreement when it comes to this issue. The people for it are for it, and the people against it are against it. Also, I said a poke on the ribs “of a stranger or someone who doesn’t like it”.
To an outsider looking in, this entire forum would look ridiculous, but at least there are people who engage in tickling in an appropriate manner. Your last line is a perfect example of the kind of logic Mane’o mentioned, as if there is something wrong with being interested in tickling but against tickling without consent. It sounds like you were trying to group everyone in the forum into being for non-consensual tickling and that any other view would be ridiculous and that pro-nonconsensual is the only legitimate stance for this whole forum.
I think we all agree that a poke in the ribs is not a problem if you know the person you are doing it to. What we apparently don't agree on is if it is okay to tickle someone for a longer period of time who clearly stated or expresses while getting tickled that they don't like it and want it to stop!
Thank you, that’s exactly and all that I was saying. I did say “a stranger or someone who doesn’t like it” but when it comes to an intimate relationship like a girlfriend, there’s a level of accepted touching that is understood without saying. Still, if she doesn’t like it, you should stop but then you should just get another girlfriend who does like it so you can have a happy relationship. People against non-con tickling, like myself, are talking about the serious stuff, like you said, “long periods of time”.
I think the first post of this thread said something about tickling someone’s girlfriend, so I do think this has again unfortunately been forced into the dreaded non-con debate (which is a legitimate debate, and I’m totally on the side of being against non-consensual tickling), but it may have been slightly taken out of context.
Have you ever heard about Dolcett? As long as it is fantasy - then yes, anything goes. As long as fantasy stays fantasy, nobody else gets involved, harmed or feels uncomfortable about it. Nobody has the right to tell someone what can go on in their head.
One more thing, I know a slightly different topic, but I have to say something. The rules here say you can’t involve minors even in stories or artwork, even though someone above said something about having artwork of decapitating a baby (gross!). Not everything goes when it comes to fantasy only. I honestly think it’s a huge double standard, I think if people like C.A.B. are allowed to draw whatever they want, then anyone should, but that’s what the rules are here.
