Teens and Tickling fetish scene online

[BlackmoonDoll]

do you think there any clear and present dangers of letting Teens dip into the tickling fetish scene online at such young ages in their life? and further more do you feel that its fine and perfectly ok for Teens ingeneral to explorer tickling more in their everyday lifes?



(PLEASE NOTE!: i wanna keep this thread clean and mature as possbile so if your here to ruin this thread and on purpose say things or cause problems to make it get locked and deleted by the Mods of the TMF here then please look else where and DON'T even post in this thread AT ALL..... yes this thread is about tickling and minors but i still feel that this thread can be worked around in a civil and mature adult manner where it doesn't have to get discarded)

Thank you

To many people tickling is sexual, so personally I think it might be too mature for teens.

not all People think of tickling as something sexual. Some people just simply think of tickling as being playful and fun and thats it. But i still don't feel that Teens that are not close to 18 or over 18 yet should not go looking around tickling websites and forums that show case tickling as all about being tied up and tickled while you are totally nude. They might get away and turned off by this and never step back into there playful thing for tickling again because of thoses few times online or they might go into places that they don't wanna go into or are not even ready to handle just yet. and might get the wrong impression of tickling because of websites like this one and TickleTheater and many other tickling based websites on the web

Teens and tickling

I believe teens should be accomodated in an age- and maturity-appropriate manner. Of course, the tasks of determining reasonably well the age and maturity level of a teen and then accomodating them in an appropriate manner might actually be difficult to achieve. It is probably not easy for a group or resource that is already set up for and organized around adults to be readily changed to accomodate both adults and varying age/maturity levels of teens.

Regardless of the relative ease or difficulty in accomodating teens, I think it is important to (1) not purposely shield them from appropriate information and (2) to purposely provide appropriate information if they seek it. As for facilitating tickling experiences, I think that is OK as long as it is consensual by all participants and such activity is monitored by a responsible and knoweldgeable adult who can intervene in the event the judgement of a participant strays into inappropriate, unsafe, or unhealthy situations. Similarly, it is not clear how to affirm that the monitoring adult is sufficiently responsible, knowledgeable, and capable of intervening.

There are, no doubt, many teens who find tickling an exciting activity but fear making this known to many so as to avoid receiving negative criticism, opinions, and categorization. Further, many of such teens probably have uncertainty or fears about "Why is tickling appealing to me and not, seemingly, to many others?" and, possibly, "Is there something wrong with me?", and, "I wish I could find someone or an informative resource that could help me understand my tickling interest and uncertainties." I was one such teen frustrated with these questions (long before the age of the internet) and not knowing where to turn with a low risk of reactionary negative consequences. A teen's parents might be perceived as having an unacceptably high risk of reactionary negative consequences. I wouldn't be surprised if many forum members became interested in tickling in their teens and had similar uncertainties and desires at that time for information.

I believe information about this human nature that exists for some people must be made accessible for teens. Not having reliable and accessible information can lead to other problems.

wow great post

a little long 😛 . But still great none the less. But Teens it seems can't have any reasonable sources for tickling it seems like anywhere at that. Because most websites online that deal with tickling are ALWAYS FOR ADULTS that are 18+ in age. So thats mean its gonna contain nude images and an Adult graphic manner. Thats kinda sad to see really but there is just no places (that i'm aware of anyways) where Teens can share with other real Teens about tickling and the fears and doubts that there having about it. without being pushed down by adult manners and images on the web today and in this generation

This discussion always cracks me up. I lurked on this forum since day one with pyscho and the EZ board, and i'm 19 now. I don't know how old that would make me back then but it's under 18.

The point is that there can be a disclaimer stating that entrants must be 18 or older but even the prudest of the prudes would not think twice about going in.

And Steve is right on with his point.

 

[MaxSpeer]

I don't really understand this thread. I was 14 when I lost my virginity. Back when I was even younger, kids my age were sneaking into their Dad's room and looking at Playboy. This day and age is way too prudent. It is very natural for a kid to explore sexual media when they enter puberty.

I'm afraid that one day, a parent will be arrested for having a talk about sex with their kids.

I would rather have my kids look at tickling materials any day of the week then thumb through a Hustler magazine which, I feel is insulting to women.

Sneaking a peek at magazines or entering adult only sites is one thing. Selling those magazines to minors or inviting them to participate in adult sites is another.

The laws are explicit and there for a reason.

I disagree whole heartedly with anyone who feels that tickling is not rooted more or less in sexuality. I'm bound to create a thread on this very soon. BUT, I happen to agree with Max & Ray.

I think kids are exploring sexuality at the same ages today that they did 30 years ago. The only difference now, is that the material is no longer in Dad's sock drawer.

Having said that, it is the kids' initiative that gains him or her access to this material. It should not be promoted by legal adults for minors' consumption.

Hey Ray;

My response has nothing to do with providing, forcing or encouraging minors to participate in this forum or even online. I am just responding, with annoyance, at the puritan ideals that seem to permeate the current trends of consciousness. People entering puberty are obsessed with sex and will seek out answers. This is also the time that sexual "fetishes" blossom. I have always been a believer that many fetishistic desires are hard-wried into our brains at a very early (pre-pubescent) age. Regardless, I am only saying that to say that young people will explore their sexuality regardless of whether ytou want to talk about it or not. It is naive to think that they suddenly become sexual at the state's law of 18.

Should we as a forum allow underage (and I HATE that term because I think it's absurd considering the age is lower everywhere else) people to participate, download, etc? No. The reason is legal and not a moral one. I, as an individual, will not encourage their participation, but I will certainly not condemn a person for being naturally curious.

Teens dipping into the tickling pool with other teens on teen based sites is fine. We ALL were there one time or another and wished so much that they were available to us when we were teens. Why should they be harnessed when there is sooooooo much available to them within their own age group and age group based sites on the internet,
Is not always sexual and sex when it comes to tickling. Lots of times it is JUST tickling fun and games! So, let them swim in the tickle stream with others like themselves and IN their age group. Tis not right morally and legally for that matter for us to mingle with someone under 18 anyway so let them be who they are.

[feetclimax]

and just who are THEY exactly??

I dont think you can just say that all teens exploring their tickling fetish just like it on a playfull level and want to go on a playful tickling site, this is coming from someone who was quite recently a teen and lets just say, i explored my ticklish desires way before i was a teen, by the time i hit pubity i didnt want to go to a sugar coated red tapped site, i was at that sexual age where im descovering myself, the word playful meant nothing to me!

The point im saying is that you can go ahead and make all the playfull sites you want, it will be great for those teens who are descovering it on a playful level but what about people similar to my case, those who want to go deeper and have no where to turn to, they dont want to go for the playful teen sites, so they will look elsewhere for something more adult and a warning page at the front of the site wont stop them clicking the "yes im 18" option because they have finally found what they have been searching for and to turn back because they dont fit requirements, well some just wont take no for an answer.

Its easy to look the other way from subjects like this and pretend that it doesnt happen but it does, its a very serious issue and its difficult to just catagorise all of the teens into a playful age because some are passed that stage mentaly but not legally. The fact is 18 is the age by law but the age where teens descover fetishes on a deeper level varies from teen to teen. And stuffing them all on a red tapped teen site might not help when clearly some of them dont wont to be there.

How young a teen are we talking about anyway or am I treading on thin ice in asking such a question? if thats the case forget it.

Wasnt responding directly to you , Max..just wanted to clarify the differences. I understand where you are coming from...😉

Thanks for posting the link, Ray. I never got back online yesterday to respond.

The site IS up and running after some down time. I've now taken over the task of running it and am working on ideas for other material to add to it. Any suggestions and feedback are welcome and can be posted in the site's forum HERE. However, if you choose to do so, keep in mind that we are limitted in what we can do. I've considered adding a more in depth section about tickling (the site covers a variety of things now) that would include some images and stories that don't cross the legal line along with a section where adults can send me stories of how they dealt with discovering this about themselves.

The jury is still out on what will be included in all of that. I want to give teens as much info as possible, along with something of an outlet without crossing the line and getting the site yanked. I'll be away on vacation next week. I hope to have a decision made and the time to do something about it when I return. (Max, maybe we can discuss this a bit when we see you?)

I've been around in the tickle scene since I was 14... (I'm 22 now so don't ban me) I think the age thing is the most ridicolous thing in the world. I've seen more disturbing stuff on HBO at age 8 then anything I have seen or ever will see on this forum. There is no reason why a minor shouldn't be allowed to lurk here. (notice I said lurk here, not go around looking to meet other people)
-Chris

P.S. These threads always make me laugh since minors will come in and out if they feel like it and there really isn't anything anybody can do about itt..

 

[$Tickletorturer]

Well...

I was a teen lurker for sometime on this page. Never nothered me none, and to my knowledge, I never bothered anyone else.

 

[BoyInTheCorner]

I myself am currently 20, and I can say without a doubt that if it wasn't for my exploration of my fetish, I would have gone through serious clinical depression, and probably would have attempted suicide. I don't know about anyone else, but as a teenager (14 - 17) it's incredibly easy for anything to make you feel devalued and worthless. But of all things, one's own mind does this the easiest. I can say from my personal experience that if it wasn't for other people saying that it's ok and perfectly normal to have a fetish for tickling, I would have grown up believing that I was some sort of a pervert, or worst yet a molester. Thank the stars that I wasn't perfectly honest when I said I was over 18 to get into a site, when I was only 16. As these feelings come for the first time, it's hard to understand them. And it's better to have some way of expressing and releasing them, because letting them build up inside of you is only lighting the fuse of an already ticking time bomb. Underage kids should be allowed, so they can feel more comfortable with themselves and less alienated. I mean, so what if they get material just to jerk off to. It's always been my philosophy that masturbation is better than raping someone, and most of the time when a man rapes a woman, it's because they bottled up their instincts instead of forfilling them. I've only recently became comfortable with who I am, and I can remember when I thought myself to be a freak because of my fetish. I know that if I had this community sooner in my life, it would have spared me a lot of troubles.

I am going to catch a bunch of shit for this, but too bad.

In my opinion, restricting sexual media (tickling or otherwise) from teens is total and complete bullshit, and is for FCC nazi's. I was browsing this forum since I was 15, and quite honestly, it's never been a hard topic for me. I speak on behalf of all those between the ages of 14 and 18: In today's day and age, we KNOW this stuff is out here, and I can guarantee that we have seen, heard, watched, and read about MUCH worse than anything that can be found anywhere on this forum. Restricting the material is like trying to keep a dead man from drowning: utterly pointless! For decades, teens have known about and have explored their sexuality in ways that the early 1900's people would scream about, and the only reason that the FCC restricts it is to keep their damned parents from complaining.

I hate to say this as well. But ViperGTS does have a point there. i first Joined the TMF website when i was 17 years old (Under a different account name though) But i'm 20 years old though now. so you can't stop Teens under 18 years of age from Joining and posting in this forum.

 

[bigearl7]

to be fair, I think that we should be a bit more open to those in their teens trying to comes to grip with their sexuality. When I was a teen, I kinda thought that I was some type of freak for when the majority of the world loved breasts and ass and here I am attracted to feet. It's a hard topic really, because at the same time, everytime a teen tickles a foot, we wouldnt want him/her to feel like a rapist, right?

 

[Lynchy]

I think this is a very brave thread to have started. Respect to you.

I personally started looking into tickling as a fetish when I was 15. I delved into adult sites, mainly the old TC of the time, and found such relief that this stuff was actually out there. It was't dangerous for me, in fact I think it was a very important point in my dicovering elements of my sexuality.

But yes. There are Yahoo groups about teen tickling, which I'm very reluctant to join, especially as I'm not a teen anymore so it wouldn't really be right. It does, on the one hand, worry me slightly that, as with many fetishes on the web, paedophiles have very easy access to nieve kids who may just be expressing a desire, be it fetishistic or not. Part of me wants to join a group like that for the sake of keeping tabs on it, and alerting whoever I needed to if I felt something was wrong.

But... I'm torn on this. Tickling is one of those playful things that kids share. It's wouldn't be unthinkable that sites set up by teens for teens would exist. Could they be infultrated and manipulated? Yes, very easily.

Maybe we as a community should start some kind of action plan to help kids who are into tickling, again fetishistic or not, to hopefully protect them. I don't know.

There are sites on the web you can go to if you find objectionable material online. It's horrible to be exposed to, trust me 🙁 but part of me feels someone should be looking out for kids in this way.

At least sites like MTP and the TMF provide a safe haven. Anyone could lurk here and it'd be fine. But yes, it's a tough one.

 

[ViperGTS]

What really gets me is that when you do come across a fetishistic site online designed for teens, it's so damned PC. "It's okay to be different", "There's nothing wrong with liking this", and all the so-called "educational" crap really ticks me off. It makes me wonder who exactly was designing the teen websites. Teens don't need to be treated like little kids when it comes to their sexuality. In fact, "kids" and "sexuality" are contradicting words themselves. The sites read like they were meant for fifth graders.

 

[TickledToDeath]

Just to clarify something......I imply that teens should NOT be able to explore their sexuality with tickling or visit sites that are sexual in nature when it comes to tickling and or tickle torture.
They have every right to. Where they do that exploring is also up the them as well. Who they meet is another story and therein lies the discretion.

The owner(s) of various sites have the right to do as they please with their sites however it is impossible to build and internet Berlin Wall and tis a debatable question whether or not there SHOULD be one.
