There’s never been an official “you can and/or can’t post about tickling *insert random stranger/girlfriends mom/co-worker here*” but it happens so often I’ve always just assumed it was allowed. They pop up every few weeks and people either jump down OPs throat (tbh I think there’s a subkink there- people getting kicks out of other people shaming them), or cheer OP on: What’s the harm, right?” “It’s just tickling.” “Calm down, prudes how else are we supposed to get our rocks off!?”
Which fair.
But I’m always team “don’t tickle strangers” and have no problem calling people out on it. Coming from someone who HAS a tickle fetish, I do not want a stranger tickling me. Ever.
It’s posts like this that scared and discouraged me from attending events and meeting people until I met a group of people I felt comfortable enough going to things with. And I’m so angry that because of these few red flags, it took me ten years to gain the courage to attend things. Of course, I can’t blame others for my feelings, but I probably wouldn’t have waited so long if I wasn’t terrified that every tickle-fetishist was just a walking non-consensual tickler.
I had someone recently reach out about chatting/meeting up and i looked through their post history and they were team “tickling strangers is awesome”. So I said no thanks and I will never meet with them. And I’m sure I’m not the only one.
I guess my point for this rant is for us to do better. I know this fetish can be hard. Really hard. But it really doesn’t mean we have to make it harder by being *gestures*. Don’t make people uncomfortable, don’t touch strangers. Your tmf posts say a lot about you and if you can’t seem to meet people/make connections/ etc. etc. well, take a look in the mirror and see what vibes you’re putting out there.
That’s all, I guess. Feel free to discuss without attacking.
