Anyone who is, or has been deeply in the closet should identify with this. When I was completely in the closet, here is what it seemed like. I was in the closet in the first place because of the horror of being discovered and labeled a perv, or whatever. On the other hand, and in direct opposition to this strong feeling there was the rabid hunger to feed my foot tickling fetish. This was the scrimmage line, so to speak. On one hand, the desire for safety might reign and keep me safe, but at other times the even stronger desire to act out my fetish would win out, come what may. This caused a lot of inconsistencies in my behavior. Sometimes I would turn down perfect opportunities to tickle feet. At other times I would go out of my way to tickle a girl's feet regardless of anything. The 'I had to have it' side won sometimes and the 'closet side would win out at other times. This is an explanation for my schitzy behavior in regard to foot tickling issues for so much of my life. Has anyone else been subject to this tug of war?
