The tickling community questionnaire on Open-Personals dating site

Hi all,
Continuing my post about open-personals.com , here are the guidelines as to what the questionnaire should look like.

It is most vital that there will be a cross gender and preferences input here: from lers and lees, males and females, “hard core” and “soft core” people, etc. If you are willing, please write in the body of your post what you are (male/female/lee/ler/whatever). This will allow for better understanding of the different prefernces, I think, and will not demand endless browsing through your profiles here.

This questionnaire should serve you ALL eventually, and the time to influence is now. Also, the more people take part, the better it will be, I am sure!

Those shy too write it on the forum are most welcome to contact me by the PM system. Your voice is important, so it is better than not making any sound... however, if you write that in the forum – people can respond, and a debate may evolve, so it is prefered...

One other thing: I hope you all realize that this questionnaire can not be a long, endless, "where and how much you are ticklish" thing. If we truely want to be able to make it useful on the one hand, and not threatening to everybody who are not absolutely tickle-fanatic like us - on the other, we have to be really thoughtful about it.

I have my own suggestions, and I will post them in a while, peobably after some input from you is reacieved first.
(Guidelines below as written in guidelines doc)


General guidelines for writing a questionnaire:

The power of Open personals is that there is a diversity of people around, and your “community” is hence represented and exposed there to the general public. We urge you to define a questionnaire, however we ask you to follow the below guidelines.
Please remember, that this questionnaire is also aimed not just toward people that “absolutely and utterly” into whatever you are into. Or, that they are “into it” (once again – whatever “it” is) in a different way, or to a different level. Please find a way to ask the right questions in a user-friendly manner.

Each questionnaire can be made of:
1.Up to 10 different multiple-select questions:
I.Presented in the questionnaire form as checkboxes.
II.You have to define the text for the question.
III.You can define up to 32 different possible answers to this question.
IV.The user will check ALL the answers that apply to them.
V.Two of those questions will be defined as “searchable”*
2.Up to 10 single-select questions.
I.Presented in the questionnaire form as a drop down list.
II.You have to define the text for the question.
III.You can define up to 32 different possible answers to this question.
IV.The user will select ONE of the options defined
V.Two of those questions will be defined as “searchable”*
3.A free-text field
I.You have to define the text for the question.
II.The user will type in their answer.

* The two questions defined as “searchable” are parameters the search form will allow you to search for users by. The search form allows you to search for a user that “checked any of the following answer(s) (“this”, “that” “or that answers”..) in response to the question ”X” in questionnaire “Y”.

Now..
Let's go!

You don't have to come up with a who questionnaire, by the way..!

This is a brainstorming session, throw in whatever ideas you have!

If I wanted to pay someone to help me find a woman then I'd just get a hooker it's cheaper. I hate personals they feed of the cash of lonely people like me. Since I make no money that sucks, and even if I did theres no garentees I'm not a gambular I like a sure thing. Personals just taunt us lonely people without money the way beautiful women taunt us men who can't have them. It makes me SOOOOOOOOO MAAAAAAADDDDDDD I COULD BURST INTO FLAMES!!!!!!!!! ................................................. Sorry I have issues, good luck with your idea.

Hmmm...

It's an interesting idea, and I can definitely see where it can be a useful resource. I'm thinking of the communities-within-the-community and it occurs to me that as with most things we cover a pretty broad range. I agree that the "where are you ticklish" stuff gets excessive very quick unless you're into it (as a lee I enjoy listing my spots and as a foot fetishist there are no prizes for guessing my favourite in my infrequent ler fantasies). But then there are a whole host of other divisions - sexual ticklers vs non-sexual for example (just like 'barefooters' aren't necessarily foot fetishists), bondage vs ticklefights, D/s vs play, mild vs intense, and so on. There's also likely to be a population of people who would make great tickle partners but don't think of themselves as into tickling - people who are experimental, outgoing, touchy-feely, playful, and so on.

Just some (rather vague, sorry) thoughts.

Now let's put these thoughts to practice

That sounds like a good begining, boy2tickle. now, how do you (and everyone else) see the actual questions in each of these "divisions"?

Please try do put something in writing!

Ok, A suggested dating site questionnaire

I see people are a bit reluctant to respond, possibly because they don't know how to start. So here is what I came up with. This is perliminary.
Please feel free to respond, suggest changes, and additional questions
There is a paragraph of introduction before the questionnaire itself too:

Tickles! They can be loved or hated, playful, flirtatious, torturous, intense, mild, erotic, or any combination of the above; They can be anything from “just for fun”, to a key part of a kinky foreplay.

To some - with or without them is just the same. For others – tickling and being tickled play a major part in their sexuality, or definition of pleasurable touch.

So.. Are you a tickle-phile or tickle-phobe? And which one of those will be right for you? Take this questionnaire to get the perfect match... at least... tickle-wise!

None of the questions are obligatory.

General note: Touch and sexuality are an important part in a relationship for the vast majority of people. The questionnaires in this section (“touch, sexuality etc....”) are an opportunity for people to express what they are looking for in this respect, in a relationship. Though relating to touch and sexuality it does not mean that a user who is filling in this questionnaire is looking for “just sex” (unless specifically stated they are looking for something casual), nor is it an invitation to break into their personal space. The responses here are about when being in a relationship, not about interaction with strangers!

1.Tickling my spouse: (Check all that apply)
2.Being tickled by my spouse: (check all that apply)
3.When tickled I:(check all that apply)
4.My favorite tickling flavour is: (check all that apply)
5.How ticklish would you say you are?(check one option)
6.Tickling as a form of touch with my spouse:(check one)
7.Exploration: If you are match with a person for whom such as practice (as tickling or being tickled) is important to in a relationship, how willing to explore the idea do you think you will be?(check one)
8.Tickling and sex:(check one)
9.Do you have a fetish?(check one)
10.Touch in general: holding hands, hugging, kissing, caressing:(check all that suit you)

Your input please!
And if you think I myself in any way failed to abide the guidelines, do comment about it too, and let me know what you think should go. we should talk abou it..!

great idea

I think that you have a great idea. I have had many problems finding tickling partners. I have a girlfriend of 8 years but because she is totally not into tickling. I am considering finding a new one. Tickling is that important to me. So when I'm on business trips I find girls to tickle for pay. That has been the only way for me that I can satisfy my need for tickling.

When in Los Angeles I visit Passive Arts where there are many ticklish girls to choose from. My favorite is Mistress L.

Your system may help guys like me to attract girls who share my love for tickling. The person who thinks that paying girls to be tickled is a bad thing... I can say it's been my only alternative.

I am not always to reveal my love for tickling to everyone because to the general public... it's a weird thing.

Therefore I pay girls for their time and their willingness to be tickled. At Passive I pay the girls to tie me up and try to make me loose control. Not every girl will do that. Mistress Erzabet is a great tickler there as well.

If I did not have the money... I would save or borrow it to have tickling partners. For those that can get tickling for free... I'm jealous of you. Life has not dealt me that deck of cards.

However maybe one day I'll be connected with a mate that loves tickling all the time. That would be heaven on Earth for me.

sorry but i am soooo lost lol 😀 wat is this about?? i really want to do this questionaire but i cant pick up where u go to do it help me plllzzz!! lol
