Thoughts on this slate article on tickling?

What is it with this talk of bad press, or this makes 'us' look bad.

This is a sexual fetish. Guess what guys and gals, we're already a little fringe to begin with. If your tastes move toward that, then I don't know what to tell you. This stuff is never going to be mainstream, it's never going to be thought of as normal behavior, and quite frankly, what do you expect to gain from it? What, someone sending something in saying "my boyfriend tickle attacks me and I secretly love it and everyone should love it because it's the best"? Because...what?
 
She comes off as a harsh prude, but the guy in the article is a bit of an ass for 1) not respecting her boundaries, 2) not earning her trust to let her be vulnerable with him, and likely 3) being verbally and physically abusive.

Please tickle responsibly.
 
Wow to be honest her guy sounds like a total douchebag! I mean seriously some guys just don't understand that no means no. I mean I know how I would get the point across if someone I was dating was repeatedly doing something I didn't like after repeatedly telling them I don't like it. I'd say you either stop or I leave and I yes I have walked out on many man in my years of dating. Waiting for all the creeptastic guys to show up to say she is taking it way too seriously and say how they would love to tickle her.
 
All valid points. My wife also isn't into tickling...she doesn't like it, even tho I do. Not to say I don't try, for a few seconds.... And yes, I'd love to tie her down and tickle her crazy for an hour or two, whenever I'm in the mood....but, just ain't gonna happen, and I know it. Maybe hypnosis?.....naw....not even then.
 
Seems straight forward. She doesn't like it, tells him to stop, and he acts like an alcoholic asshole about it and keeps doing it. The ending comment telling him 'good by' sounds very reasonable.
 
SMH. Everyone in the article is missing the boat here. Communication is key. This woman needs to address the issue at the dinner table and work something out from there. If telling him to stop the tickling mid-torture isn't working then she shouldn't be posting about it online, but rather having a civilized conversation with her partner. Imagine if he found it and was horribly embarrassed because maybe he HAS a tickle fetish. Maybe he's even on TMF and will read these posts. Now he looks like some random disrespectful jerk on a blogging site.
 
Reminds me of an old "Dear Annie" post (in something called a "newspaper"....) - don't know why I read this one, maybe 'cuz it was on the entertainment (comics) page, and, I don't remember the year. A gal wrote to her (this was the late 70's), saying that her boyfriend and his friend tied her down, and then tickled her bare feet with fingers and feathers until she begged for mercy. When they let her go, she gave them both her piece of mind. She asked Annie what she thought; which was, her boyfriend was basically, a fiend (I don't remember the actual wording, but it wasn't good for him), and that she should get rid of him. Just the time I was thinking of tickling gals, and reading things in Penthouse...

I hardly meant to suggest that TMF'ers or fetishists in general ought to be concerned about "good press," .... or attracting any attention at all, for that matter. The mainstream acceptance crowd is crazy or misdirected, in my opinion, and I'm not even especially fond of thinking of myself as part of anyone's notion of 'us' ..... But some day in the future, some nervous young guy will be trying to stammer out his self-revelation as a tickle fetishist (in whatever degree) to his girlfriend,... and this stupid episode will be the only associative piece of data the poor girl will have had up to that point,... she reads Slate. It doesn't help.
 
It's almost like the guy has some kind of weird compulsion that he can't control, or more likely, chooses not too. But yeah, if he can't respect basic boundaries, he doesn't seem like a guy worth staying with.
 
Still a few folks around here who want to twist things around in an attempt to defend the muttonhead boyfriend. And Pied Piper even going so far as to make up the twist like she only tried to talk to him during mid torture. These are the folks that just don't listen. The key word here is consensual, continuing the attacks even after being told repeatedly she doesn't like it is non consensual. This does not make for any long term relationship.

She would never agree to be tickled by a producer, so the question is moot.

He is an asshole for totally disrespecting her boundaries.

They both need to find a new partner.

Probably valid points. She seems super ticklish since shes willing to write to Slate to solve the issue. You never know- if shes desperate for money, she just might allow Tommy to tickle her...

:facepalm2: Umm yeah I highly highly doubt that would ever happen. I mean seriously we don't even know the woman's real name and hopefully we never will. She sounds very vanilla and probably doesn't even know who Tommy or Tickle Abuse even is. Heck the article didn't eve bring up the word fetish or even mention tickle videos. Plus if she hates tickling as much as the article made it seem I personally highly doubt she is researching about it on the internet.
 
It's a waste of time for both people to be in this relationship. He's not gonna stop tickling her and she's never going to be on board with it. She needs to get rid of him. That being said, I understand his view. You have a very ticklish gf that you can't keep your hands off of and he justifies it by saying 'you're laughing so you must enjoy it.' He needs to find a girl who is at least ok with it and move on. There are plenty of women who are just as ticklish and like it.
 
It's totally not okay to keep tickling someone who has repeatedly told you not to. I totally understand tickling being important to someone, but just because you want something in no way gives you a right to someone else's body. If he wants someone he can tickle he needs to leave this relationship, and more importantly she should leave because he's an asshole who doesn't respect her.
 
The girl who wrote to Prudence is learning to say either "no" or "yes." In other words, she seems on the fence, one side being the submissive she has yet to realize she is, the other side the girl who just has to learn to stand up for herself. "Please, don't tickle me" sometimes is part of the role-play a ticklee plays with a tickler, other times the first step to slamming the door behind her, never to let those tickling fingers near her sensitive flesh again.

That is, with this boyfriend in particular. Depending on how badly you want to please someone, what is off limits with one individual is suddenly on the menu and on sale if the another individual simply has your number.
