I have replied to threads in the past but have never started one, so figured I might as well try. I was wondering how ticklers out there (or ticklees, for that matter) feel about the use of gags. I have never personally used them---I like the sound of laughing, or other verbal expressions, but I have seen them used in videos. I know there are several different kinds, such as cloth gags,tape gags, bit gags, ball gags, and most intriguing to me, the ring gag. These may or may not be comfortable to the ticklee, however, which is always the most important thing to consider. I was just looking for some thoughts or experiences some of you might have had and is it or is it not something worth experimenting with. Hope this generates some discussion. Thanks---c.s.
