For me I had my tickling fetish under wraps for many years due to not really knowing how to come out and say "hey, I want to be tickled this way" or "tie me up to something and tickle me like crazy" without thinking that I was going to be perceived in an odd way. So I just kept my secret tickling fetish to myself and when I did get tickled in a playful manner by friends, it was the greatest thing next to sliced bread lol. However, I had some relationships that fell short in that department and that led me to close up about it once again. Upon finding this awesome community I feel right at home amongst those who can truly relate and understand the impact of tickling on all our lives. It's nice when you can mention the term "vanilla" to a fellow ticklephile and they automatically know what you're referring to. The TMF has been a fantastic outlet for me to build friendships and learn from others experiences and I'm glad I was pointed in the right direction by a good friend of mine, for if they hadn't shared this site with me, I'd probably still be searching for that one place I belong. So thank you my friend (you know who you are), for guiding me to the light of the TMF 😀.
