Actually. I'd really appreciate it if you didn't.
But I'm curious. When a member says this to another member in a PM what exactly does it mean? And I'm not picking out a particular gender here. It happens male or female. Though I'm sure the scales ARE somewhat tipped. The subject line of this thread however is rather noticeable in the Welcome and Member Profiles sub-forums in one form or another. Sometimes, usually, or so it seems anyway, it's said in private.
What's the intention there? The invitation itself is odd. "Wanna talk/discuss/ask each other questions/if you have any questions, etc. feel free to PM me."
What exactly does that mean? I can't help but imagine the true intention behind that invitation to "PM me anytime" perhaps translates to, "Tell me where you're ticklish, show/send me pics, blah blah blah."
If someone's new, there's Tickling Discussion for them to go through to learn more about the subject and themselves. Pages and pages and pages of questions, revelations, opinions and the list goes on. There's more here than on Wikipedia regarding the matter. What could POSSIBLY have been left out that'll magically be answered through PM via a stranger?
So when you ask, if you've asked, or if you know of someone who has asked or sends that particular invitation, what does it REALLY mean?
Or does it mean exactly what it says? A deep, involved, in-depth, two-way, give and take, thought provoking discussion that answers all questions a newbie might have about the origins of kink, the subtle nuances and all that and thus profoundly enrich their lives?
Yes. This place is itself named after the fetish. But everytime I read that or hear something like it, I do wonder what sort of reactions would be provoked in a real life setting. A bar or a club for example. Purpose of going to a club or bar? To pick up mates obviously. Yes? To take home people of either sex, to collect phone numbers, Facebooks, etc. Yes? Now, let's say you arrive at the club early. What would happen if you waited by the front entrance and said to every person who walked through the door, "Hey there. I'm sitting by the bar on that stool. Feel free to come over if you have questions in regards to dating, the exchange of phone numbers and Facebooks and sex."
The reactions would most likely range from:
A disgusted, pitiful, confused look.
Laughing in your face and/or be the topic of discussion amongst the new person's friends (but not in the best light).
Ignored.
Warned about.
Of course, there are always exceptions. But I am curious what it all means and despite the tone that I realize may come across, I honestly am simply curious.
