I just had my 3rd tickling session less than 2 weeks ago. These have all happened this past year, the first one being in early April. The 2nd happened in early June. Less than 2 weeks since my last session (which was incredible!), I feel stuck in a kind of tickling purgatory as I now need to wait at least a few months before doing another one. It's both a $ and a time thing for me. It's not just the cost of the session itself, but the total cost of the trip, as spending adds up so quickly in cities like New York and Los Angeles, particularly if you want to actually experience these cities! And with work, like most people, time is the other thing I have to consider. The flight, the hotel stay, the restaurants, I have the $ and time to do this a couple of times a year, maybe quarterly at best, and I feel extremely fortunate that I do, because I know there are a lot of people that can't afford to do it at all. It's not even whether I have the $, but it's more having the $ and time to burn, meaning I have the $ to do it more often, but it would be at the expense of other financial/work obligations I have. I mean, we all have the things we value, and we have to choose where we invest, and for me, trips and sessions like my last are worth every minute and every penny! It's just how to deal with the in between times.
So...back to reality, for the next few months. For me, that's trying to live vicariously thru watching tickling content, which I'd intended to compare and contrast these 2 outlets, but I've decided to save that for a kind of part 2 thread. They are really like comparing apples and oranges, just so different and yet closely related at the same time to this addiction many of us have. Overall, I'd consider it a pretty sweet addiction to have! And I know, this 'problem' I have is definitely one of those first world problems to have as well😆
For those of you that do in person sessions, what's your outlet between times? Are you like me and you use watching tickling clips, or is it something else? How do you deal with this letdown, the back to reality feeling, or is this just me? Even for those with regular tickle partners, being that tickling is a 2 person sport, you obviously can't always experience it at your convenience. What are your copes? And for those of you trapped in tickle video content hell (or whatever it may be that's your current outlet) like I was for so long, have you considered scheduling a session with a professional, and what would it take for you to do this? More $? More time? Something else?
