Geek Tick(Lee|Ler) Disclosure Forms

[starfires]

Hi folks,
I'd like to ask you all for your input on a small project. I am trying to design the Geek Ticklee/Tickler Disclosure Forms.

The purpose of the forms is to provide a potential partner with a brief overview of what kind of tickler or ticklee you are, and what to expect from you during a session. You could fill one out and post it on your website or a personal ad profile. They are not intended as surveys, though you could conceivably use them as such. Being overviews, the forms should not describe you completely, but rather give the reader enough of an idea of what you are like (and what you like/don't like) to enable them to ask follow-up questions. They are supposed to jump-start the process of getting to know each other, not replace that entire process.

The purpose of this thread is to revise the forms. I want your opinions on what additional questions to include or exclude (to be useful, the forms should balance brevity and completeness), as well as what responses should be listed. The current versions of the forms follow this message. I will try to keep them current and color-code recent revisions as they are suggested. Please do not simply fill out a form and post it here -- that would belong in the Polls section, and does not contribute to the editing effort.

For an example of a functional Geek Disclosure Form (though one that has nothing to do with tickling) see Polyamorous Geek Relationship Disclosure Form.

Common abbreviations that are used in the forms:
MOTAS (member of the appropriate sex): a person of a gender that one is attracted to (opposite sex for heterosexuals, same sex for homosexuals)
MOTIS (member of the "inappropriate" sex): a person of a gender that one is not attracted to (same sex for heterosexuals, opposite sex for homosexuals)

Geek Ticklee Disclosure Form

Version 0.01

Who may tickle me

I accept brief surprise tickles
( ) from total strangers
( ) from people whose names I know
( ) from acquaintances
( ) from friends
( ) from lovers or life partners only
( ) I do not accept surprise tickles from you until I tell you so

I accept extended tickling without a formal session
( ) from total strangers
( ) from people whose names I know
( ) from acquaintances
( ) from friends
( ) from lovers or life partners only
( ) I do not accept extended tickling from you unless I tell you so

During a tickling session in a group setting, bystanders may join in
( ) always
( ) if I know their names
( ) if they are my acquaintances
( ) if they are my friends
( ) only if they are my lovers or life partners
( ) never
( ) ask me for permission to join in
( ) ask my Authorized Representative for permission join in
(since I may be too distracted to answer)

From MOTIS (see intro), I accept
( ) brief surprise tickles
( ) short tickle fights
( ) light "support" tickling in a group setting while the people of
Appropriate gender do the real work
( ) serious tickling in a group setting
( ) serious tickling in a one on one setting

If I am in an exclusive relationship, I may be tickled by others
( ) never
( ) in presence of my relationship partner(s)
( ) in absence of my relationship partner(s)
( ) if my relationship partner(s) are participating
( ) always, or I do not form exclusive relationships

Handshaking protocols

When I want a tickling session, I initiate it (make the first move)
( ) never -- I am too shy or embarrassed
( ) never -- I am too scared of being tickled
( ) rarely
( ) often
( ) always -- when I am not asking for it, I do not want it

When I consent to a tickling session, I do it verbally
(In other words, do not tickle me unless I say you may)
( ) never -- I am too shy or embarrassed
( ) never -- I play hard to get
( ) never -- my consent is always implied unless I say otherwise
( ) when I do not know the tickler(s) very well
( ) when I am not intimately involved with the tickler(s)
( ) always -- if I don't say "tickle me", leave me alone

In preparation for the tickling session, I will cooperate
( ) not at all -- you should grab me and pull me into your lair
while I kick, scream, claw, and bite
( ) not at all -- you should try to trick me into a ticklish situation
( ) marginally -- I may put up a fight, but will try not to hurt
you or summon authorities
( ) somewhat -- I will follow where you pull me and put up only
token resistance
( ) mostly -- I will lie down and let you tie me up or hold me down
( ) fully -- I will lead you to the bondage device, help with
the restraints, and tell you which spots feel especially
ticklish today

I laugh or scream
( ) at the top of my lungs

( ) can keep it down to __ dB when necessary

While being tickled, I am reliably able to speak coherently
( ) never
( ) through light giggles
( ) through heavy laughter

( ) always

If I speak while being tickled, you should ignore

While being tickled, I like to be

( ) complimented
( ) worshipped
( ) sexually pleased
(if I have a sexual relationship with my tickler(s))

Tickling is
( ) the nicest thing ever
( ) pleasant
( ) neutral
( ) torturous
( ) pure hell
( ) I have no processing power to spare to evaluate

While I am being tickled, I want it to
( ) stop
( ) continue
( ) continue for a short time, then stop
( ) both at the same time
( ) neutral
( ) I have no processing power to spare to want anything

I subject myself to tickling
( ) because I enjoy the sensation
( ) for the benefit of my tickler(s)
( ) because I enjoy being tortured
( ) because I enjoy being helpless
( ) for the endorphin rush
( ) for the excercise
( ) for therapy
( ) because it excites me
( ) because it amuses me
( ) for money or other compensation
( ) I do not know why

( ) have another tickling session
( ) switch to tickler mode
( ) have sex (if I have a sexual relationship with my tickler(s))
( ) cuddle
