No longer a tickle-prostitute

[BigJim]

Alison I'm going to join the other voices saying you did nothing wrong. Some people are judgemental about the sort of thing you did, but not every mind can be as liberated as yours hon. 😉

As for the hate mail, it takes a mind ten times smaller to send it than it does to receive it. It also takes a very bollocksed-up set of personal morals. Receive them with pleasure and have a laugh, knowing you've just discovered yet another person you're more intelligent then. And whatever you do, don't feel guilty because you've done nothing to be ashamed of luv.

All the best,

Jim

Ok I understand somewhat what you mean about feeling guilty but look at it this way. The person who agreed to pay you X amount of dollars to be tickled or to tickle AGREED to pay YOU. HE agreed. YOU didn't put a gun to his head. HE was not hypnotized. YOU didn't do anything wrong with accepting. I'm sorry to say that your "best friend" is opinionated in a nasty way. Does she think she's your mother? Who is she to judge? Is she the Pope? I realize that it may have been out of caring but still, who makes her judge and jury?

Sorry that just struck a chord with me.

As far as taking money for a "service" such as this, yea it feels a little bizzarre sometimes and it takes some getting used to but I think I know the reason why. When meeting for a tickling session it brings up certain erotic images and tickling, in my opinion, is erotic in itself. So, it may feel a little like the word you used being prostitution, because of the erotic aspect of it but you're still not having sex for money. Therefore it can not be called prostitution.

I am a tickle mistress so I know of what I speak. I charge an hourly fee for my "services" and I, like you, don't put guns to people's heads, hypnotize them or otherwise. They make the decision. I just offer the NON sexual service. I am recieving money in return for a tickling fantasy where sex is never involved. I'm the tickler in most situations, rarely the ticklee but I do switch on occasion but only under my own terms or it doesn't happen at all.

You have to make your own decisions and feel good about them so if being tickled/tickling for monetary gain is not making you feel good, then just don't do it. You have free will and choice. Good luck to you, but please don't feel guilty about what you "did. I don't and this is NOT prostituting yourself! If others want to have small minds, let them.

Very well said, Shannon. Tickling for pay between consenting adults is simply not immoral by any reasonable standard. 😀

You did nothing wrong, Alison, and have no reason to regret what you did. 😀

 

[vegasfootboy]

no need for guilt

people make thier own decisions,, if someone wants to pay and you have an arrangement,, thats your business and no one elses,,no need for guilty feelings,,ive given that subject alot of thought this last year,,ive never paid any woman for anything,, as a matter of pride and confidence,, always thought it would make me feel stupid and desperate,, then i started thinking about the convenience of that kind of arrangement,,with work and family i have very little time for the hunt so to speak,, meeting women then going on a date not knowing beforehand whether they have cute feet,, or if they are ticklish,, or if they would even enjoy being tickled,,then theres the schedualing factor,, spending an entire night with a woman and spending money on dinner and drinks,, always at least a hundred bucks for even a so-so date,, then to be let down by finding out she isnt into it or isnt ticklish at all,,one side of me thinks that if i knew a girl who lived close by,, who had cute feet and who was ticklish and who also loved to be tickled then i could save alot of time and energy by making an arrangement beforehand where we could meet at a prearranged time and place specifically for tickling,, that way i can get my fix in and on my time and schedual when and where i want it,, so after much thought i have changed my outlook on the subject of pay for tickles,,,

 

[TicklishAllison]

Wow...

Didn't think I would get such a response! Thanks for the support everyone... I really needed it... it was becoming one of my darkest hours, especially since said best friend is really asking a lot of questions lately. I felt really guilty because I was keeping it a secret from everyone. Like I was hiding a part of me I am usually quite proud of, sort of like my bisexual tendencies. I often feel strange and out of place, except when I am here. Well, usually. I just didnt want to hide yet something else from everyone that I love. Plus, some of the fellows here were getting quite scary and some jerks threatened to call my family and friends. I dont need them to be ashamed of me, I have too much else going on in my life. Thanks for everything, guys. I really really appreciate it. If there is anything I can do for anyone here, let me know.

Re: Wow...

Allison, guys doing that type of crap need reporting ASAP...to TMF administrators and to their ISP's. It's totally uncalled for behavior, and shouldn't have to be tolerated by you or anyone else.

 

[Iggy pop]

Allison, I can't tell you that you did nothing wrong? How do you feel about it? That is the important question. Technically what you did is not illeagal, but it could be seen as sleazy. That is a matter of opinion. Only you can decide if it is right or wrong. As far as your best friend asking a lot of questions, that is only natural. Is she supportive or not? That is what I would look for because that is the key to friendship.

I agree with you Shannon, but almost every prostitute and drug dealer can make the same claim.

 

[WorkInProgress]

Hey Iggy Pop, I hope you realize that you're in a community where a number of regular members are patrons of professional dommes and subs. I don't happen to be one of them, but that's largely because my own tickling fetish isn't strong enough to be worth spending big money on; add to that the fact that I don't have big money... In any case, I think professional tickling has more in common with massage therapy than with prostitution, and my lot is with the people who have attempted to reassure Allison that she didn't do anything wrong. I think the people who consider it sleazy are wrong, pure and simple.

Allison, I just sent you a PM with another angle of interest.

 

[Azrael]

Your Choice

What a person chooses to do with their own body is their business. You sound like a wonderful and devoted friend, but there are things to take into consideration, here. Don't beat yourself up when it isn't called for!

This isn't abortion... there's no baby dying. There's no disease or pregnancy risk involved. It's good, clean fun, far moreso than--say--a girl getting $70k per year to work as a stripper, or something like that, paying her way through college or no.

It is of course your choice. I just wanted to add my voice to the growing list of people telling you you've nothing to be ashamed of.

--Azzy

 

[Iggy pop]

Hey Iggy Pop, I hope you realize that you're in a community where a number of regular members are patrons of professional dommes and subs.

Yes I realize that, and I have no problem with that personally. I was just pointing out that a lot of people do have a problem with it. In my personal opinion, its only important if you have a problem with it.

 

[ticklersdream]

Its ok

Dont worry about it Allison ---------- you didnt do anything wrong. I'm sorry about hate mail and please be careful before you do anything like that again.

And i would be interested in a tickling session but you are all the way in missouri ---------- why cant i find fems in nyc --------- is it that small

 

[Iggy pop]

Just one more thing, what's up with the hate mail? What despicable excuse of human being would send hate mail over this? What's the point?

 

[Neutron]

Hey Allison..

Now I'd pay to tickle ya 🙂

Remember hon, the only things worth regreting are those things you weren't courageous enough to try.

TRon

 

[Oddjob0226]

To help dispell any guilt, I'd be happy to tickle you and you pay me!

 

[Shannon]

Yea!! 🙂

Wow! Now this is really great! It's nice to see a show of support!

Allison, again do NOT feel guilty about what you did. I understand how you feel about not wanting to either disapoint or embarrass the people around you, and I feel the same way at times but no one is getting hurt here. Everything is consensual and there is NO sex!

Tickling is such a taboo! and that's what makes what I (we) do taboo also. It's the wicked practice of tickling! Oh no! hehehehehe

But so many people love it..? It can't be all that bad!

Do what YOU feel comfortable with above all else. Be true to yourself. If this isn't your piece of cake then let it be and look for another way to make money on the side without trading your self worth. It's a road best not travelled. Oh and one more thing.

Iggy, you're wrong about it being sleezy etc and that it's basicly the same as prostitution when it's not. Just because actual prositutes and drug dealers would say the same thing is irrelevant.
I mean, think about it. They ARE prostitutes who're looking for their next screw around the corner! $20 bucks, baby! $20 bucks! They ARE drug dealers out there DEALING! hello They are perpetrating actual crimes and getting labelled properly. WE are not committing any crime.

Keep your chin up, Allison and email me anytime if you want to talk about it. Take care!

 

[TicklishAllison]

and the hell goes on...

Shannon and everyone else... Thank you so so much. Even the slightly offensive remarks on here were so helpful. But I still have a problem: I am still receiving hateful remarks... more than ever. Some guy just threatened me... he says quote...

da_pool_legend_nobody_can_beat: love the story you made up on the TMF
da_pool_legend_nobody_can_beat: truth will be coming out soon
blu12121: what?

What truth? Am I lying about this? Someone explain how to deal with morons such as this? Maybe its because I would not talk to some people online because I was busy, then they mentioned my ad and yes, it sparked my interest. I dont like to talk to random guys about tickling... most are morons and dont care a thing about getting to know me as a person, just my tickling fetish or if they can or cannot tickle me. I face the same problem that women around the world face, we are considered an object. Well, sorry to all the jerks who have such high self esteem that they believe they can threaten a woman into being their slave... this woman isnt biting. I wanted to make money, so I am greedy... I am trying to go to college so I can do what I want with my life. Stepping stones, so to speak. I am me... nothing else, I wont change for anyone. Sorry, this really hit a sore spot, so venting occurred... Ok... help!

 

[Armpit_licker]

Allison, sorry about the guys who are hassling you... But I don't see where you got "threatened" by what you posted.

Also, after reading your last post it got me wondering.... You are basically here just to make money?? Do you even have a tickling fetish?? Or did you just sign up for the TMF to make cash for college?? This is a serious question..

 

[toneus79]

Well I make no bones about the fact that I have often been involved in Tickling sessions (as a lee) which are financial transactions. Do you know what, I like it that way. There is no misunderstandings, no situation where anyone feels used, and I can relax and enjoy the session without worrying whether the ler really wants to do this, or thinks I am weird.

You know I actually believe a large majority of the membership here, think all the models at TC, SilverCherry, Magic Touch etc, offer themselves to be Tickled for free. Duh wise up guys.

Or let me try and draw an analogy here. Supposing a friend of a friend is a hairdresser, and having met her I remark that I could do with a haircut myself. Thus she says okay I will call round your house tommorrow and do it (no fee is mentioned however). I may therefore think:
1) Wow this is great, a free haircut. I know I will get her to cut it for free every fortnight. Or
2) Wow the reason she has offered to do this is because she must fancy me, therefore I am well in there.

She on the other hand may think:
1) I hope he is going to pay me for this, although I don't like asking for the money.
2) I hope this guy dosen't think I am doing this because I like him.

MY POINT BEING: If both parties both agree upfront that the haircut is a financial transaction there is no risk of confusion, or of anyone being used.

So basically Allison you have done nothing to feel ashamed about. As for using your interest in Tickling to pay your way through college; well I wish I was a girl because that's what I would do as well. The only advice I would give is to be a little careful about who you play with, and realise that judgemental people are leeches and not your friends.

Shannon, I don't think I was clear in my post which is my fault. I was not calling it sleezy. What I tried to say was that certain people could construe it as sleezy which some people will. I am no moralist, and personal I have no problem with what two conscenting adults want to do.

What I was trying to say was how does Allison feel about? If in her heart she felt that it was wrong then it was wrong. If she had no problem with it then there is no problem. Only she could decide that. And she shouldn't do something just because she needs money and may end up regretting it down the line. The point I was trying to make that it was up to her decide if it was right or wrong and not somebody else.

Allison, this is harrasment. Are you able to block email adresses? If so block it. If you keep on getting harrassed you may want to report the address to the ISP.

 

[BigJim]

From what I saw of your post Alison, this baboon's rectum is on a messenger service? If he is it's a simple thing to block him. Whether AIM, Yahoo or MSN, they all offer solutions. He won't even be able to see you're online.

 

[WorkInProgress]

Looks like either Instant Messenger or chat room; either way, "truth will be coming out soon" sounds like a lame attempt at baiting, a non-consensual, emotional form of tickling you. If this is a regular TMF member, I'd report it to the moderators; otherwise, I'd ignore it and see if anything more happens. And be at peace with the fact that you don't owe an account of yourself to every sicko who knows how to log onto the internet.

On the birthday (Feb. 15th) of Susan B. Anthony

As I write this on 2/15/05, it is the birthday of Susan B. Anthony, who fought to win the woman's right to vote in the United States.

Only 85 years ago, it was illegal for women to vote in the United States. But just because it was not legal did not make it wrong. Susan B. Anthony and a handful of others were not afraid to question that injustice. Thanks to the pain they endured, today women have the same voting rights as men.

For some time, it's bothered me that some people likened Ticklish Allison's activities to illegal actions such as prostitution. Just because something is against the law does not mean it is wrong.

So, if two consenting adults agree to an arrangement and no one gets hurt, what's it to you?

The fact that prostitution's illegal is the reason people (namely, the women) get hurt, as they must operate without the protection of the law. Let's stop demonizing pay-for-play activities, whether it's sex, tickling, or happy-ending massage. If the adults involved agree to the terms and their actions affect no one else, butt out!

I hope re-activating this thread does not upset Ticklish Allison or anyone else. But since I read it weeks ago, it's bothered me. And with today being Susan B. Anthony's birthday, I had to finally get it off my chest.

Glory, glory, hallelujah, my truth is marching on.

 

[Jimblast]

Hi Allison...

I don't see anything morally wrong with being tickled for pay. I would be concerned for your safety, however. Personally, I've never paid to tickle anyone nor have I paid for sex. Interesting the pay for sex comes up as I was asked that amongst many other questions as a donor for a bone marrow transplant for my brother. A lot of those questions were asked and as I answered them, it got me thinking about lifestyles and the risks people take these days. Your friend was harsh, but I'm sure your friend was also concerned about you. If you were a good friend or sister, my only 'free' advice (and let's face it, we're all giving free advice here), would be to be extraordinarily careful. Don't put yourself in a situation that you cannot get out of. If you do begin to feel guilty about it, as mentioned before, go with your heart. If you rethink your position and continue being tickled for pay, then just be careful. Try to find someone to chaperone you on every session. If not, have 'safe calls' whereby you get the person paying's business phone or home phone and address, give it to a friend, and if that friend doesn't hear from you, they take action with the authorities. There certainly can be danger here. All in all, it's about your well being both physically and emotionally. Jeopardizing either makes this whole thing a tremendous risk. Not sure if this helps, but I hope it does.
