Et tu quoque, Brute?

Yes. I am pleased you agree.

I've always found wolfs responses to be well worded, thought out and within the forum rules where a lot of others seem to like to use every post as a means to look down their nose at others. So I guess people can post whatever they want unless it's whining or about cheetos lol

I swear there are kind people on here though. And they make it worthwhile to keep posting here. Even if they are few and far between.

Yeah, you gotta sort through a lot of rocks to find the gems. But beware the Cubic Zircona; they're shiny, but worthless.
And who doesn't like Cheetos? 🙂

Met my best friend who I've grown very close to and made friends from all over the world. You kinda have to search for the good gems here, but when you do, they become very special to you.

Everyone does! I was sharing a couple bags with some of my favorite TMF friends (another positive!) just last weekend. I have plans to hang out with even more friends from here in a couple months, and I guarantee we will probably be chowing down on the same thing. Possibly smores as well.

Cheetos bring people together! Much rather share a bunch of cheap snacks with a group of good friends than a plate of decadence alone with my cat. Just sayin' lol

 

[tkltease]

best part of this fetish is having met many people over my years who love and enjoy tickling and for those who think it weird try it once and you will enjoy the pleasure it has to offer

I'd have to go with the friends I've made. A particular few of them have kept me out of a mental institution during some points in my life.

So a lot of you know this story, but I'll go ahead and tell the full thing here.

Between the ages of fourteen and seventeen I lived in a pretty bad situation. Bullied at school, no friends, parents who drank and did (mild) drugs and ignored me when I said I was getting depressed. When I was seventeen I moved in with my grandmother--post suicidal depression, I was too ashamed and afraid to go out and make real friends.

So when I found Tickletheater (and later here), I was pretty shy. I made one thread because I mistakenly thought the original was going to run out of room soon--unfortunately for me, that turned out to be the ticklefight thread and I turned out to be hilariously wrong. I was seventeen, cut me some slack. Anyway a few guys teased me about it and dragged me into the original and I've been around ever since 😀

What have I found positive about this experience? Everything. I've met my closest (and nearly only, I have no job right now and am out of school) friends here and we talk everyday. I met my husband and other half on TT and we live together and it's just the best thing ever. I've found my confidence again after a serious depression, and I had thought I was never going to be the same happy, outgoing person I was before and am now. I've found stuff that makes me happy, in a sexual way, in a playful way, in a friendship way. All positive for me.

she ain't shy no more 😉

At least, when you say "cheetos" you smile for a second....

When I reflect on it, I have one of the most accessible fetishes as far as introducing my partners to it. Women are usually pretty open to being tickled as foreplay, especially if they're already interested in experimenting with bondage. Flirting and establishing a comfortable physical connection is easy for me, and it's easy for me to get aroused before anything openly sexual begins.

Wow... I'm really sorry to hear about the situation during your teenage years. 🙁 I'm glad things have turned out so well for you now, though!

Don't worry about it--what didn't kill me made me stronger. I've got the tough chick mask now that I didn't have before, and the ease of retreating into myself to avoid temporarily negative situations--visiting certain relatives--has made it a lot easier to deal with said situations. Being a part of something that's all about people forcing me to relax and take that mask down and laugh has helped balance me out again 😀

And hell, yeah I am still shy to some extent. RL situations where I meet new people are mostly a positive now but I still have a great big "something to prove" complex. Being among people with whom I don't have a damn thing to prove is amazing 😀

I have enjoyed meeting many folks through out the years.

 

[Ffejola]

Nothing has really been positive for me because I've never met a single person other than myself with this fetish so I've felt like a freak for years. However seeing how many ppl like me there are on this site makes me feel much more positive about it.

 

[Softtouchgirl]

I made some really great friends and inadvertently met my wonderful husband to be (Artoo) through mutual friends.

 

[the tickleshow]

So many positives. The negatives tend to stick out, unfortunately. I'd love, more than anything to meet a wonderful woman who is also a 'lee, so tickling can be fun for me again.
I love that there are others who feel like I do about tickling. I love that there are some who find what I produce appealing. (I would have never thought that!) I love that, for the most part, we are all supportive of each other, even though most of us will never meet. We are a community and that might be the best part of all of this.

 

[Artoo]

I Made some awesome friends both on here, the UKTF & the Birmingham/Edinburgh kink scenes, and met my better half through one of those friends. 🙂

 

[pshort20]

It's gotten me a lot of positive tickling experiences outside of TMF with female friends, girlfriends (all non fetishists), but have a good attitude. Even managed to get a lot of those tickle encounters on tape for my enjoyment (yes they knew). Plus i had to all time great sessions with Addie J and Shaunna Ryanne + a woman from my college. Things could be better, but i cant really complain.

 

[tickletherapist]

Everything is positive about it. Tickling is healthy and fun. It can be used as a real therapy to release stress and emotional/physical tension and of course it can be used sexually.

 

[xionking]

I struggle accepting the idea of tickling as a positive thing. Thats not to say that I dont like the fetish, I obviously love it because its different, hot and incredibly sexually gratifying.

However, it has caused me dramas over the years. Ive been ostracised at school when people found out, had limited relationships and always feel like its that added burden of baggage I used to carry from relationship to relationship.

The best part about it is the experience itself. Not much else unfortunately.

I am from Jamaica, and I have had quite a few experiences tickling women, all of them were 'Vanilla'. I find most women are open to tickling even those who have had bad experiences with it. I think a tickling fetish is the best one to have, sometimes I wonder if it is really even a fetish because most couples love to tickle each other, just not to the degree we do. Once we present it to the person we are interested in tickling in a positive light and they can see in our body language and expression that its a fun thing to do most people will at LEAST try it. I only tickle women so I can only speak towards that dynamic but yeh having a tickling fetish is awesome.

I am 44 now and have been a member here for quite some time. Probably the biggest positive that I have taken from this forum is the great relationships I have made over the years, and interacting with some good acquaintances. This forum has also given me hope for the future. Although, I feel like a dirty old man at times, there is a very good group of young people here that are valuable contributors to this forum. I wish that I had some of you in my life when I was in my formative years as I would have had the courage to be much more open about my fetishes and consequently enjoyed life to a much fuller extent instead of feeling awkward or alone... you know- the same old story many of us share. Our youth of today are much less judgmental and more accepting of everyone. It is truly inspiring.

It's not to say that there aren't many older valuable contributors as well, but many of you that are parents will understand. There is nothing that makes you more proud than when another parent or adult tells you how well-behaved and well-mannered they are, even though they aren't angels at home. We feel that we have accomplished our main mission in life when this happens. Many of the younger generation active here would make their parents very proud. They have unique identities, compassion for others, and a take no bullshit kind of attitude. Chicago is a perfect example of what I am trying to express, albeit a bit awkwardly. It has been a joy to watch her mature as a young woman here on this forum. I have never interacted with Rhino, but I am sure he is a great person as well because I'm sure Chicago would have cut him loose by now if he wasn't. Sorry, Chicago, didn't really mean to put a spotlight on you. 😉

Best to all,
Luvs

Thank you for the kind words! Very sweet of you.

A GF once told me that the degree of pleasure I derived from our tickling sessions seemed higher and deeper than anything she was capable of experiencing under any circumstances. I think she was right: I think my capacity for physical pleasure has dwarfed that of every woman I've been involved with, including the most hedonistic. And it's not just sessioning: watching a good clip is like stimulating my pleasure center directly. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
