LOL Tron, you used "uptight" twice in your post...That slays me....I hope I didn't offend anyone who DOES refer to tickling as a fetish....I was just speaking on my PERSONAL interaction with folks. I think you're right...putting so much focus on worryiong about things often times indicates our inability to accept it.

ROFL! Yo, Neutron, what about the fact that tickling, in and of itself, isn't a fetish for everyone. See previous discourse on that, but simply put, tickling ain't a fetish.

Just 'cause folks label it as such don't mean a thing. Some think that such behavior is crazy, bad, wrong, weird, etc. I'm hopin' that you don't give 'em any credit for such a daft notion. Personally, I slide "fetish" right in there with the rest. There's a definition for fetish, and this interest don't fit it. It DOES fit deviancy, kink, and even sport ('specially for those 2+ hour 'lees), but it's not a fetish. It's a paraphilia. Havin' an interest in feet is a fetish. Shoes, too. Non-animate objectifications, as targets, are able to be fetishes. This ain't, really, for many here.

Mind ya, there's naught wrong wit' a fetish, either, but if we're t'discuss the word, it's the wrong word for me, and for a bunch of others here. Inaccurate. Misfocused. Wrong.

Given that last Saturday's gathering had two multi-hour 'lees, that's more a sport, son. 😉 Endurance level trainin', even.

Trivia for the masses,

You can call it anything you like

I just wish it would replace baseball as the "National Pastime".😉

LOL, Mystic...

But I have to agree with DNVC again. Tickling isn't a fetish (not an object, not something which is inherently dysfunctional requring mental health care) and even if it were, it's not in our collective interest to characterize it as such. But I repeat myself. To DNVC, well put.
