The Drought

[anchientstar]

We've all been there, still are, may one day, be in a position where we haven't been able to do what we love. Tickling. Yes, the drought, the dry period where you aren't able to find anyone, be with anyone that enjoys tickling as much as you! I hear heaps of people complain about this, don't get me wrong, it happens and it sucks BUT complaining doesn't do much. So here's a thread for you. Maybe.

For those who have dragged themselves from the slump or just are super knowledgeable, lets help these people out. How do you/did you get out of your slump?
For me personally I started talking to my close friends, seeing what they thought. Some actually referred me to people. Then it was being active in my community, going to munches and meeting people, and now I have a beautiful girlfriend. This is of course a tough course to take as i'm sure plenty of you are shy. Hence why hopefully some others have some helpful comments to help you out! maybe. Otherwise, what are the biggest issues you face?

GOOD LUCK TICKLE PEOPLE.

Tickle ya later!

In my early 20s, I gave myself a rule to tell new romantic interests what I was into by the 3rd date. I was sick of wasting my time or building up pressure waiting for "the right moment" or for trust to develop or whatever. And I started going to events as often as I could.

IRL I can be shy in groups or around new folks and I've always had a hard time communicating things that are uncomfortable (easier for me thru text sometimes) but that was also an important lesson to learn if one was going to go after what they wanted or prevent potential negative situations.

I do this on occasion too, it's worked out pretty well so far.

This too, it's always good to get it out before anyone gets too attached. If it's a hard no for the other person, it's best to know relatively soon.

I've been dating around for most of this year, and I'm doing the same thing. Sometimes I tell them before the first date, if the conversation is really flowing. The important thing is TELL THEM. 🙂 Not accepting my fetishes is a deal-breaker for me, so sooner I found out the better.

I'd be glad to post how I got out of the drought/slump.......if I ever manage to do it.
