My dad kind of figured it out, years ago, when I was alot younger and didn't know I needed to cover my tracks online. He mentioned something about it being weird, but hasn't said anything since. That must have been 12 years ago, atleast. I have told 3 of my more serious girlfriends over the years. The first girl, I'd say it wasn't exactly her thing, but it turned her on to know it was turning me on. She was great when it came to tickling, feet, and bondage. The second wanted nothing at all to do with it. I don't think she wanted anything to do with me in general, actually, seeing as how she ended up marrying someone while we were still kind of together. The third, it definitely wasn't her thing, but she was an all around wonderful girl. On occassion, we'd have fun with it, but not nearly as often as I would have liked. I wouldn't have given up on my fetishes, but I would have gladly toned it down to make her happy, if it came down to it. Sadly, that relationship recently ended. I'm still a little depressed about it. Besides that, I have told a good number of girls I'm friends with. I haven't gotten much in the way of a positive reaction, but nor have I gotten any overly negative reactions. A few of them let me tickle them now and again, which I certainly can't complain about. One of them let me take pictures of her feet, which I'll be posting as soon as I'm done with my reply here. Recently, much to my dismay, I learned that one of my best friends, a guy, found out. I'm not sure how he came by the information, but I guess he thinks it's pretty funny since he brings it up in conversation once in awhile just to be an ass.
It seems a good number of you have family members and many friends that know. Lately I've been thinking that it's not really that big of a deal if people do know. Hell, it could even work out to your advantage in some situations. While I still keep my fetishes relatively guarded, I'm starting to be a little more open about them. I'm not sure exactly why, but I've found it alot easier to talk to girls about it. Anyway, that's the end of my story. I'm just glad that most people on this forum are as friendly as they are. Being more than willing to offer support to people (whether those people are online friends or even complete strangers)when it comes to their fetish, or life in general is a more than admirable trait. So, thanks TMF and Long May You Run...
