Cyber tickling - Yay or Nay

[Scouse]

I could be missing out on something great, but I don't think cybertickling is for me.

I haven't tried and don't plan on changing my ways any time soon.

Pointless....let's have the real thing

I'm going to break away from the apparent trend on this thread. I actually quite enjoy cybering with the right person.

Think of it as an excersise of the imagination. You can make tickling sound so much more erotic than *tickles ur feet*, or, "HAHAHASTOPITHEHEHE".

However, it is by and large no substitute for the real thing.

I don't think there's an issue with it.

If it's not done like absolute shit.

What they said.

I find it funny that so many people say "no, real thing ftw!" Well, yeah. Of course one would prefer the real thing. That isn't the question. What about the people you wish you could do it with but can't because of distance?

Like Ru and Jo said, as long as it's done right and with the right person then there isn't a problem. Sometimes it's even enjoyable. *gasps*

Back in the day when the internet was young we would have roleplaying chats on the mirc and they were a blast. The thing is tho that the whole room would get silly and the plots were always intentionally ridiculous.

Thus I can see the appeal Cyber Tickling may have but it is not something I could enjoy one on one. The cheating aspect (subjective) would bother me as well.

Yay and Nay

I kinda go both ways here. I do enjoy it if it's done correctly. But when I have guys randomly PM'ing me, and asking to play around, and the first thing I see is 'tickles ur sides' or 'tickles ur feet' I'm like, ugh. If a guy is creative enough to actually set up a scenario or respond with more than 'HAHAHAHHAHA' when I ler him, then I do kinda like it. I've only met a handful of guys on here who were actually creative enough to keep my interest while cybering. (I'm not exclusively dissing on the guys here, I just don't cyber with women)

Yeah, it's good.

Then again, I don't understand the constant calls of "REAL THING OMG REAL THING". Long distance relationship ever?

Because if it's always real thing, then I think the art, stories, images, and clips are even worse for you people. I mean, at the very least, there's someone on the other end of a cyber tickle. All that other stuff? It's independent.

Very good points.

I used to be into cybertickling. I saw it as less of a fun activity and moar of a creativity excersise. It was like writing a story, while directly interacting with the main character at the same time. If someone wanted to cybertickle with me and they typed liek dis n wantd me 2 tickl them 2 tears, I would have nothing to do with it. On the other hand, if someone was well-spoken (well-typed? I don't know for sure) and expressed their throughts and reactions clearly, I was all for it since it entertained and excersised my brain.

BINGO. My thoughts exactly. I never thought of it as cybertickling because it was always more a story with tickling as one component of it. I love creative writing, and any creative writing with tickling in it is twice the fun for me.

Unfortunately, in the seven years I've been on the TMF, there have only been two people I could do this with because most guys I've run into don't have the writing skills to make it interesting enough for me.... I know that sounds snobbish, but it's true. I know there are a lot of talented male authors on this site, so obviously I'm not speaking about you guys when I say this, but most of the guys out there are more visually oriented and the written word doesn't hold much interest for them. Crafting an interesting, interactive story with someone online can be so much fun if both parties involved are looking for the same thing. But if the guy just wants to find out if my feet are ticklish, and I'm looking to engage in something a bit more interesting (and far less predictable), then it's just NOT going to work.

So I guess my response is no to trite cybertickling, but yes to co-authoring a creative story together that happens to have tickling as a very large component. 😀

I currently don't live with my husband and we do not cyber or phone tickle. Both he and I enjoy the reaction we get out of each other, the genuine squirming and laughter that happens from tickling. Since I can't tickle myself and I refuse to fake any of it, cyber or phone tickling doesn't 'bridge the gap' so to speak.

Personally I am not into cyber tickling. I like the real thing. Cyber tickling may be fun for some but I am into real meetings after making friends with people from the TMF.

Seriously.... no one is saying the real thing is prefered.... but if you can't have that....

I'd rather go without!

 

[Skipadeedoodah]

I'm not saying there's something wrong with cyber-tickling, or that no one should ever do it. Of course if you enjoy it go for it! My problem is with the folks who PM you outta nowhere saying *tickles your feet* and when you say "no thanks" they say *tickles harder and faster* It's like, come on, seriously?

Also, I KNOW that if I were to engage in cyber-tickling, even with the best cyber-ler out there, I would be a disappointment to them. I'm not creative enough to eLee. I wouldn't know where to begin. I can't describe how I react to tickling in a way that doesn't sound cheesy and lame, so I just don't.

But if you can find someone who's a good match for you, and you guys enjoy eachother, by all means go for it 😀

When I first got online I loved to cyber but I quickly realized that "it" didn't tickle and my fingers got tired typing hahahahahaha.

 

[unit5610]

It's gotta be with a woman that I like and can actually write in a way that's imaginative and fun, but with that person it can be a very nice diversion. I suspect that I might feel differently if I had real-life opportunities, but lacking that, a good cyber is fun once in a while.

 

[Ace Riley]

I still find it hilarious that people think that people who like cyber-anything somehow prefer it over the real thing.

...it's not a substitute people, it's an activity in itself.

Some people actually enjoy writing, there are people probably getting turned the hell on by some of the stories on the Post Stories section on this very forum.

Yeah, weirdos, getting turned on to fiction! lol

People who read Penthouse letters don't do it to replace sex, it's mental foreplay. It's fantasy in motion. I've had the pleasure of cybering with people that could write novels, I dare say sometimes I wonder if it's some of the authors of fics on this forum n disguise. . ., it's walking through the looking glass with cyber sometimes, and in many ways can exercise the imagination in ways reality just cannot.

Roleplay can be childish and awkward when done in real life, not everyone wants to be tickled while sitting at confessional by someone dressed up as their sunday preacher, and not everyone wants to play nurse and ask you where it hurts...

...but anything goes on the net. 😱

I love the idea of cyber-anything with someone who's quick-thinking and talented.

not a bad point .. i guess it wouldnt be so bad if it was with someone who wrote well

 

[sasaxrah]

Meh, I've tried it before trying the real thing recently. Always with a random dude who IM's me out of the blue and wants to after 37 seconds of the obligatory "hey how are you, a/s/l." I ended up feeling like a substitute right hand. Didn't do much for me.

 

[tiklir]

Not into it at all. But it can work as an interview per say with a prospective new lee. I only use it for that scenario if at all. Nothing compares to the real experience.
