I loved my boyfriend long before I was into this. And now, we live together, and he knows I visit this site, etc. But the problem isn't that he finds it perverted, because he doesn't. He's just extremely ticklish and hates it when I touch him in, you know, a tickling way.
But that doesn't bother me because as Isabeau said, there's more to a relationship then indulging in one's fetish... Although I did convince him to let me go at him once... Which is why JJ makes a good point; my bf knows how important this side of my life is and even though he hates tickling, he let me go at him once. And it wasn't too bad.
Hiya Mercury! :chinese:
I think it's wonderful that you got to at least give it a go with your bf.
And I honestly wish, Izzie had the chance too. :cry But as you say, Izzie, you have decided the guy is more important than the giggle and so God bless you in your love together!!

Still, I have to admit, sometimes there are things that are so important to us, be it tickling or something else like playing sports or a passion for certain kinds of music, that we need to be able to share it in a relationship. And if sharing our special interest is a deal breaker, then we don't need to feel guilty about it. I think, at least.
So long as you know. And let your partner know.
I guess i have to count myself in the lucky category. Gosh it seems like ages ago. But anyway, I remember when the guy who became my bf (and later my hubby) and I started going out he took it -mm, not so well.:cry My joy of being tickled silly, that is.:blush
But even though it sent us through a rocky patch I think it was important to talk about it. at least he found out more about me and I him. In the end we decided we loved each other more than any one activity. So I let it go. But in my case at least, even as I did that, he decided to try tickling me!!:lol :lol
To make a long story short, eventually, he came to enjoy it enough to make it part of our relationship together. But even if he had not, I think the openness and honesty is what mattered most rather than his acceptance of my 'thing' so to speak.

anyway, those are my random thoughts.

Many blessings,
