It's definitely a bit of both for me.....but it's MOSTLY a sexual thing for me now that I'm older. It's a part of me that for a long time, I tried to hide or tone down. Until the smart part of me realized that hey, this is me, it's a beautiful, wonderful thing and that no matter how much I would try to cover it, it will resurface at some point. Why should I deny what/who I am? I've decided to embrace it and it has made me feel wonderful! Still, there are only 2 people in this world that know "me," but that's ok. A little bit at a time.....baby steps. I do find myself using tickling as something to think about whenever, um, it's "alone" time. LOL! Just the thought of my body tied and vunerable and having that special person that you entrust your body and soul (and soles) with is just about the HOTTEST thing that I can think of! Oh boy, I think it's time to be "alone!"
Btw.........great poll topic!
