About tickling stories...

[JackVanderson]

Okay, I normally don't rant, HOWEVER a disturbing theme has come to my attention in most tickling stories. That theme is sexual assault and/or rape.
I mean almost every story involves some 18 or 19 year old girl being kidnaped/tricked/stuck in a situation where she cannot move and some guy, who can't even see her, starts tickling her then begins removing her clothes. Then, the guy still not knowing who the hell he's tickling, begins to sexually tickle the girl and thus begins the sexual assault and eventually leads into the rape. While this kind of thing really disturbs me to my core, what I find even worse is that the way the stories are ended, the girl willingly spreads her legs for her unknown assailant. I don't mean to insult any of the writers or their works by this rant. I just want to make it known how I feel about the themes of sexual assault and rape in tickling stories, especially the ones that start off cute and innocent.
Call me a pussy, call me naive, call me whatever.
I'm as vanilla as a person with a tickling fetish can get and I'm proud of that.

*facepalm*
I forgot one thing to add to my rant, thanks for reminding me Izzy.
All of the stories that I read which had situations of sexual assault and rape had no disclaimers.

Just wanna say I respect the vanilla types as more often than not I prefer tickling as something playful and fun over the fetish aspect, myself... though a healthy dose of both doesn't go astray in the right situation.

I agree about this sort of thing, honestly. Hell, people have been demanding that */M picture threads have a warning in the title so how hard would it be to tack "explicitly non-consentual" or something of that nature into the title or as a precursor to the story since it usually doesn't jump out like a pic would?

Ilohnoh springs to mind as a good example of what to do with such a story. One of his recent comics was quite explicit and even to the point I never imagined in its horror... but not one person can claim that he didn't give a fair, honest warning in every post he made about it. He handled the situation quite well in spite of a great deal of negative feedback and I respect him greatly as an artist and creative writer for this.

I appreciate that this is an adult board and free expression is important... but I think we'd all appreciate it a lot if the creative folks gave a little warning before flexing the more explicit stuff.

Well I usually don't write about tickling in my stories... and even less about sexual tickling so it is a little hard for me to understand it. I like occasional poke, few minutes of tickling feet, but going all out like that is... well over rated in my opinion.

I think people need to get creative and bring out something a little more playful or something new,something different.It's like people are trying to drag tickling to be cpmpletly sexual and it isn't always sexual

Every story should have subject tags attached to them. Then the person reading will know what they are getting into.

I agree with the TC and various others. i have noticed here and TMF the stories have become more and more that way.

As we are some of the writers who can be accused of this, let us be perfectly clear. WE ARE NOT ADVOCATES OF RAPE. But from now on we will provide disclaimers so that no-one will be offended. Though one of the stories we are finishing the war rages on part one has consentual sexual tickling. Do we need a disclaimer for that JackVanderson?

P.S We consider that tickling females is very sexual for us, and perhaps the same for many others. Perhaps some writers feel that their style is established and the need for disclaimers is counter productive (e.g Primetime and Ovda). But we will provide disclaimers from now on.

 

[JackVanderson]

Once again, I do not mean to offend the writers or their works by my rant. And, once again, my problem is the themes of sexual assault and rape in tickling stories. Sexual assault and rape = no consent from the lee.

Umm,this is kind of a touchy subject because some actually get turned on by the whole domination of it but they always know in the back of their mind that they are safe and have the control to stop the whole thing if they wanted to so technically since they are both in reality consenting it isn't rape it's more of an acting thing it is role playing in the bedroom.It really is like acting in a play or movie.When a man rapes a woman in reality she can not stop what is happening and she knows this;she does not have that security in the back of her mind.She is left scared for years and needs trauma therapy unlike the girls in these role play scenarios so the people watching this don't have to and should keep this in mind and not get offended by somebody else's fetish.Although I do agree that a variety of tickle scenarios should be out there and a balance of the varieties should be kept for others to see because one thing does really get old fast.
