Straight guys (as well as others); a request and challenge...

[kucheeku]

I'm glad this is being brought up

This topic needed to be brought up, because I think there's a lot of confusion about m/m tickling and sexuality--two completely separate entities.

Gayness and straightness are orientations, and as such m/m tickling will honestly not make a bit of difference. You simply will not be 'made gay' by being tickled by the same sex. Period. If your body reacts to tickling by being turned on, that means you are turned on by tickling--not necessarily by that other person (you need a deeper connection to that person for that to happen).

I (a gay man, btw) have tickled many straight guys platonically and (because they've requested) to orgasm. None of them had suddenly fallen in love with me, nor had I expected them to. They were confident enough in themselves and their own sexual orientation to understand that tickling is what they wanted and were comfortable with their own bodies' reactions. It's great pleasure playing with them and connecting in a way that increases trust in one another.

There are a growing number of straight guys "coming out" with this love of m/m tickling. Like it or not, it's here to stay and--unfortunately--the bad attitudes of some in this forum are driving them to other safer forums to express themselves.

I'm not saying this is not a good place. It is. However, m/m tickling among straight males who admit openly to this pleasure remains one of the biggest closets in the tickling community. If you want the tickling community to actually be a community, all facets of adult tickling should be recognized without unnecessary childish reactions.

Im not condemning it. while i still think M/M tickling is fruity, if thats your thing, then more power to you. im just giving my opinion, not sentencing you to hell.

This is an example of what I mean

From dictionary.com:

fruit⋅y
   /ˈfruti/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [froo-tee] Show IPA Pronunciation
–adjective, fruit⋅i⋅er, fruit⋅i⋅est.
1. resembling fruit; having the taste or smell of fruit.
2. rich in flavor; pungent.
3. excessively sweet or mellifluous; cloying; syrupy: a specialist in fruity prose; to read poetry in a fruity voice.
4. Slang. insane; crazy.
5. Slang: Disparaging and Offensive. homosexual.


So, in other words, you don't condemn it, you just call it something done by insane queers? And then cover it with the ever-tired remark of "I'm just giving my opinion"--a phrase that should die with the end of 2008.

Please.

Don't shit on my shoes and call it shoe polish.

If the signature pic is a big Nazi flag with the words "I LOVE HITLER LOVE HITLER!!!!" superimposed across it I'd say it'd be fairly easy :-o

Could you judge the individual if the signiture pic was for the purpose of mockery or sarcasm?

Of course; obviously if the pic was intended as some form of sarcastic mockery then my initial judgement might be incorrect, but I'd still be able to judge.

Are you saying Skippy's sig pic is intended as some sort of sarcastic commentary on something?

m/m

m/m vids don't really make me uncomfortable, just don't really do anything for me either. Sometimes I like f/m vids, but most often the */f, like so many others, is what get's me goin'.

 

[TicklinGuy]

straight tickling

I've already watched countless m/m and f/m videos, so I took this opportunity to watch some m/f and f/f videos instead. I hope you don't mind.

For some reason, I did not enjoy the m/f ones...I guess because they remind me of men taking advantage of women, which I have never liked. But in any configuration, when everyone is having fun, the laughter is flowing, and the scene is genuine, then it brings a smile to my face.

My favorites are the m/m videos, and while I am not gay (meaning I have no sexual or romantic desire toward men), I do enjoy tickling them and being tickled by them. Mostly, I enjoy the playfulness of it, and its a great way to have innocent fun, bond, and proove one's superiority. Any time it becomes more than that (in the videos too), I am no longer comfortable and no longer having fun, which, for me, defeats the point of doing it or watching it. This includes when it crosses the line into non-consentual torture.

I feel that men make the better ticklers, and that because of the stereotypes surrounding men, seeing them humbled by something as simple as tickling is hilarious. However, I do like the feel of women tickling me too, though not so much because it tickles but because it feels good.

Not at all, I was referring to your comment and the comment that one can assess judgment on someone based on a sig pic.

Her signature pic can express many of things. Since I know her personally, my sound evaluation is that she hugs her close friends.

I really don't understand why topics like this always de-evolve into name calling and mud slinging.

First of all, good topic.

Since I have no full length m/m clips (or f/m clips for that matter), I went around on the intarwebs and found a few m/m clips to watch consecutively, so as to meet the OPs challenge as best I can.

I have no problem watching m/m TK videos. However, I do not actively seek them out, nor will I stay to watch one voluntarily (this time being the one exception). They just aren't my thing and I find no amusement from them. They do not offend me or anger me, nor do they make me sick. I simply don't watch them, much the same way a man who neither likes or dislikes a certain sport will leave his TV on a channel that's broadcasting that certain sport.

I would describe myself as a straght man with no bi- or homo-sexual tendencies.

Well, it is a relatively contentious topic; so it's only to be expected that some people will take offense at other people's opinions. Still, you're right, we should all try not to mudsling.

The gripping desire to maintain, hold onto or reinforce their masculinity. Due to a possible apprehension at being judged in some or any manner.

 

[Comfort Eagle]

I really like F/M stuff already, so I took the challenge with with M/M. Did nothing. No interest, no disgust, nothing. Came off as boring and kind of stupid.

Makes me glad I don't feel the need to assert the size of my e-penis that much anymore.

Besides, no one wants to see someone flapping around a 6 foot long cyber dong.

That's a judgement that anyone can make based on her sig pic; what that means to different people is up for debate.

Don't they all, though?

 

[mrmiguu]

Thanks for the challenge...

...but it's not much of a challenge for me....I have downloaded free preview and paid clips before and plan to in the future if they are good enough. I love all kinds of tickling and who gets tickled or is tickling isn't ultimately the issue, though in certain times I have my preferences....and plenty of times for seeing guys tickle guys.


(I love these new smilies!)

f/m

if its a girl tickling a guy sometimes if shes really enjoying herself its cool but m/m aint my thing its kinda gross,,,,,i dont tickle guys,,,with me its playing / flirting so i keep it to females

 

[Raytheon]

This has always been a strange do i, dont i subject for me. The question ive often asked myself is 'do i crave a fetish tickling experiance enough that id go to a man?'.

Oddly i had the oppertunity to answer this question about 2 years ago. Back when i was temp working in the spring to get some money i was at a factory making bolts. The day before id been chatting with a few of the girls working there about our 'likes' which was cool and id mentioned i loved being tickled. Well, the next day a very big old french bloke, bald with a huge quif at the front (yeah) and food down his front approached me and offered to pay me £150 to let him tie me up and tickle me with a happy ending in an m/m video.
I thanked him but gracefully declined to which he ignored and harrased me until i finished the job lol.

Taking from this experiance i now know that i think id be alright in a m/m fetish tickling situation if the bloke was good looking and id had a few to drink 🙂 which is kinda what happend about 6 months later with a gf watching tho it wasnt tickling.

so in a way im cool with it but i wouldnt choose it over f/* 🙂

 

[huskys]

I don't think it's "wrong" to feel that M/M tickling tends towards being homoerotic. Everyone has their opinions - it's the expression of the opinions that's important.

You can say: "Why would I be into two guys feeling up on eachother? I'm not a fag!"

OR you can say: "To me the physical contact that is unavoidable with tickling, plus my personal feelings that link tickling and sex, make M/M tickling something I'd only be interesting in if I were gay."

Same exact point expressed two ways. One way is respectful and acceptable. The other way is repulsive.

Well said Skippy!!!
I personally don't get anything from watching M/M but that doesn't mean I think that there's anything wrong with it, or that I'm homophobic or anything like that. It means that it just doesn't interest me.
PEOPLE............ GUESS WHAT.............. WE'RE NOT ALL THE SAME!!!
Different people have different preferences when it comes to tickling, and god knows there's enough different ones out there.
Personally I get offended when people say that they think that f/m is wrong because they think that it makes a man less masculine or some bullshit like that.
You like what you like, its as simple as that.
And in a large community such as this there is more than enough of everyones preference to go around!!!

 

[Coda]

I'm capable of enjoying all kinds of stories, art, and videos of all gender-gender combinations, including depictions of sexually explicit activity.

I have a clear involuntarily sexual attraction to women and not to men (hence my heterosexual self-image), but I appreciate that whoever appears in a fetish video is turned-on by whomever they're with.

If anything turns me off, it's specific activities or attitudes appearing in the medium that I personally don't like or don't understand, regardless of genders involved.

 

[Ticklerguy4u]

I admit I was one of those guys that stood for males not being lees whether tickled by a man or a woman, but as time passes and a person gets older you realize there are much more worse things a man can be in this society.

Although I can't say that watching a man getting tickled in general does anything for me whether it be by a man or woman...if its what he likes then--go for it.

I tried watching a video before where the male was the lee...just out of curiosity to see my reaction toward it. This was way before this thread was written. What I found out was that it didn't bother me anymore but I wouldn't add it to my collection of vids or would I actively seek them out. I enjoy the laughter of a female more than the laughter of a male.

If I am going to watch a male tickling a male I would rather be the tickler for it on the fact of the tickling aspect of it. I am a Ler by nature and all Lees should watch out despite gender.

 

[Mephistopheles]

I felt an overpowering urge to click on the red X in the top right corner of my screen.

Tickling is hardwired straight into my sexdrive, right at its very core. I can watch hardcore gayporn without any problem but this made my brain give me a "does not compute" message.
