The four categories

[fttickler]

This is an interesting post

I am not sure where I would fit it..I love the plafulnees and sillyness and the cuteness of it. Then again I love the laugh of a nice lee..Micherfoius ( spelled wrong I know ) seems like a nice choice also 🙄

As strange is this may sound, it was fun. Something about new love...........yes old established love is great too, but new love with all the kinks to work out (no pun intended); the butterflies still inside----man it is fun to be around.

Thanks, and I think that we have most of the major kinks worked out, and I still get butterflies or a twinge when he arrives home at the end of the day. And yes, it's fun to be around and very fun to be involved in, even though I was a wreck going through it, but now that I look back, it was totally worth it.

From what I have read, I am willing to bet you are a Romantic. It is all good.

 

[fttickler]

Works for me....

Someone told me you were a decent judge of character

Sexualist defines me rather well.

I bet!!! The term I hear first in the community and just love is "wired". You know how we are "wired that way.

'Twas our pleasure babe. We're grateful for your trust in us and the fact that you loaned us such a fantastic guy. "Being there" is the least we could do for you...
XOXO

Thank you. And thank you and Steph for helping me and "us" through a ton of waiting and freaking out, and nerves and excitement, etc. And we will see you soon, yes definitely.

We goddesses do share well and always try to honor the trust.

 

[primetime]

you know goddess, it's hard to say which one i am the most. I definitely can relate to the sensualist. that's why i like to tickle so much. i LOVE human reaction.

but of course, i like to play. which i guess makes me a "romantic". with tickling, you HAVE to have fun.

this is an interesting topic.... hmmmm, maybe i need to explore those two more next time we all get together. Tell Godiva i'll be there and i *so* cant wait to play with you again Chargers fan......

Steph, hopefully you show up as well. I am really looking forward to the next gathering....

 

[bellystrokes]

So looking forward to the next on as well---and I will pass the word to Godiva, heheheh.

I have a feeling you and I are going to have some rather interesting bets during football season. And I think the players will have knee issues----oy!!!!

You're welcome for the "loan" as you put it, and yes he is a fantastic guy , and now when he reads this, his ego will inflate, ah the things that I have to live with now. 🙄

 

[steph]

It's a well-deserved ego-inflation m'dear.

And prime~would love to see you and those hands again soon too!

XOXO

 

[Ticklemeslow]

It's a well-deserved ego-inflation m'dear.

XOXO

Oh, I know it's well deserved, and I'd be lost without him. Alot of the time when I compliment him, he just says that he knows, he does it just to mess with me and make me crazy (which works), though it's all done with love. And it's hardly ever boring. Believe me, I appreciate what I've got, and we both know how lucky we are to be together.

 

[steph]

Then all's well with the world isn't it babe? Some things are just as they should be...
XOXO

 

[Strider]

Another thought of been developing in some way or another since DomCon: I think the reason sensualist fits me is that play is not particularly sexual to me, in fact, I rarely get physically aroused while playing unless it's with Sheena or someone else I'm sexually involved with. An individual whose wisdom and experience in these matters I highly respect and admire told me that he agrees with me that it's not (primarily) about sex in the physical sense, and that he considers the best word for it to be psychosexual, arousing on a mental level, and not a physical one. I would personally agree, and even with Sheena, our interactions are D/s before they're SM (I'd say about 60/40 at the moment). The individual I mentioned views play almost as being an advanced form of therapy, and I'm inclined to agree.

God yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is very well said, and I think it fits me very well too. Sometimes it is not play or sex but rather an internal, yet out of body journey. I have to admit, that time, I saw Godiva and her bf remove you from the rack and did after care, I was blown away---you had traveled far emotionally and seemed enlightened upon your return. That same night I went to a place I hadn't been since an awesome massage years before. I need to dwell more on this.

And them sometimes it is all about the fun play.

I am 3 of 4

Based on observation and experience, and many discussions with my rock star, Strider and my goddess, Steph I have concluded there are four main driving forces that bring people to the tickling and/or bdsm community, the gatherings, the dungeons and then keep them in the scene. Granted, most people are a little of all four categories but overall I think most people I know can fall into one main category listed below:

I want to emphasize this is not how people necessarily play in all their scenes, or at gatherings or in privates, but what individual desires drive them. Obviously, situation, venue, participants, etc all effect the play and interaction.

With encouragement from my goddess, Steph who is interested in other observations or categories, I present mine:

SEXUALIST:

This is a person who is sexually turned on by tickling and wants to eventually have his/her traditional sexual organs gratified, most likely via direct stimulation, leading to orgasms. The most intense of all.

SENSUALIST: (This is me):

This person enjoys the journey more than anything and prefers the focus to remain on tactile stimulation. Reaching the zone and/or experiencing orgasms are a bonus and not necessarily achieved through traditional sexual organs. The most experimental of all.

LOVER:

This person wants to be seduced and views tickling as part of the love-making process and hopes to develop a monogamous relationship with their tickling partner. The most serious of all.

ROMANTIC: (This is Steph)

This person treats a tickling scene almost as a first or second date with cute flirty light ticking, teasing, and dialogue. The most playful of all.
Sub-Category: The Player: Pure innocent fun and just silly good old times, a la, wresting with your best childhood buddy.

I know I'm a sexualist, a sensualist and a lover... sometimes in the same night!

Some folks have all the luck!!!!!!! mmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[TaraToes25]

Now I'm convinced...

Now I am difficult and complicated, cuz I see mischevious more in the "romantic" category--more cutsie and flirtatious. But it is all good.

... that down deep I'm a romantic first (teasing people on first dates, or when we first meet by saying outrageous things, asking guys why they are looking at my feet, asking people if they are ticklish, wiggling my toes while a cute guy is speaking to me, kicking off my flip flops at parties or in a guy's apartment) as I admit that I hope all flirtation to end in appreciation of me; I obviously need to feel attractive and sexy, and like to be considered kinky!

The pretty, short, petite girl with small boobs, long hair and cute feet... wow, i learned something about myself!

I have different degrees of the four categories in me, but if I had to choose one, I'd chose LOVER.

My reason is that I can't tickle or be tickled by anyone but Meka. And Meka can't be tickled by or tickle anyone but me. Nothing beyond the 2 of us is allowed.

I guess you could call that super-monogamous haha. And I plan on marrying her eventually too.
