The only time I thought my life was ruined because of having a tickle fetish, was when some unknown person from here found my myspace and outed me to my bf at the time by linking him to posts I had made on the forum.
He already knew about the tickling thing, but not about the forum. He was a little weirded out and I was kinda nervous whoever had sent him the message had also messaged friends, family, and coworkers of mine. Luckily, he/she didn't.
I was definitely panicking for a while though. lol
