Women won't have an issue with it being that, let's be honest here, it's something where she's saying she wants your hands on her. Funny as it is to think about it, tickling and bondage and all that are extremely vanilla in comparison to SM or scat or farting or furries (with SM probably on the between scales of acceptable while the others are persona-non-grata offenses). It's a lot more socially acceptable because it is innocuous in scope with the ability to add as much intensity/spice as desired.
But a lot of dudes would be plenty happy burrowing into a furry costume if a lady said it revved her engine, so I sincerely doubt that there are tangible issues there. And, again to be honest, there aren't real tangible issues with guys as well. I had relationships in college and before then that I confided my fetish, and I got the gambit of "oh that's different", "oh that's cute", "what's that about"? If you are asking someone to be a lee, there is going to be apprehension, but I've never actually had an issue with it being acceptable in any relationship I've been in. Actually, beyond that, I've had partners who went out of their way to indulge me.
It's all in how you go about it and how you present yourself. If you come off as this strong creeper, yeah, there's going to be folks that are all like "hell naw, you freak!" And I'm telling you this as a guy who looks more Seth Rogan than Brad Pitt.
