Ok, ok.....
Ok, lets not all get seduced by the Dark Side here. I'm sorry if I opened up a Pandora's box with this question, but in truth, I'm not sorry it turned out this way. Just the fact that there IS a debate on this topic tells me that the community is growing, becoming more diverse, and for that I am thankful, whatever the outcome.
I see both sides. Ticklevids, I also like sex in my tickling fiction, that's why I asked if it would be ok for me to post it in the first place. On the other hand, the reason I wanted to post it here was that it wasn't story that I'd submit to TFTA or FI or ND. And that didn't bother me. I know the fan base and style TFTA has, and this isn't it. In your defense, I applaud your ability to call TFTA a quality publication and other nice things you said, even though you didn't agree with it's function. That didn't go unnoticed.
Yes, I enjoy sex with tickling. However, if you read the story that started this whole thing (Mandy's Birthday), you'll see that the sex was in a very romantic and erotic style and context. What I'm NOT for is sex as torture along with the tickling. Now, if that's your bag ( I know it is for a lot), that's FINE. I would never seek to slam something you like. But it's just not mine, is all.
When my stories turn to tickling as torture, they are darker and usually involve kidnapping or some other means of the tickling being against the victim's will. Add sex to this and it's rape. Yeah, I know kidnapping isn't any more legal, but for the purpose of this discussion, it will suffice.
There is a girl I work with (Erica form the "How to Kidnap Friends...story), that I would love to tickle. I can't stand her. Doesn't make sense? Consider this. After reading that story, you can tell why jealousy and petty stuff would rear it's ugly head. I have no desire to have sex with her. I wouldn't give her the satisfaction. I just want to break her, make her lose that cocky smile...etc. etc.
(By the way...I'd never actually DO it, that would be wrong. But it's been fodder for many a good story.
)
So there's your difference.
Now let's get back to being a c-o-m-m-u-n-i-t-y, ok? We've all got a good point, so let's not let semantics and petty preferences get in the way.
Just my 2 credits.
