I am also a lover of socks tickling, but I view the two as separate fetishes of mine. I also enjoy watching barefoot and nylon (RH&T are my faves) tickle vids and pics, and I like socks in non-tickling images as well. I can take bondage, spanking, socks, and tickling each on their own, but it is nice to see a blend sometimes. Although I must say that I never like to see shoes at all. Shoeless is always preferable... As for sock tickling, it is difficult because socks offer more protection for a ticklee - that's just common sense - and you'll see less of a reaction in some vids because of this. However, seeing a strong ticklish reaction during a sock session is a pretty good indicator of a very ticklish individual. And socks can be super cute, and I like cute (someone once had a quote: "socks are just the lingerie of the feet." lol)
And then, of course, there's my whole jailbird thing...
Thou art not alone.
