how open r u

[Gamemaniac021]

I have been pondering this question and was curios. How open are you about tickling outside of the forum? Like are you open to the fact that all your friends and family know? Do you keep quiet about it and keep in the froum? Me, I choose to keep it to myself. My older brother actually found out only because he was messing with my computer and found all my clips. I usually put em in a descreet area. Anyway, nobody else really knows only because i think people would find it a little wierd. And really to me if it wasn't for joe millionare that gave us so much exposure i don't think people would be aware of us. Thats just my opinion and i just wanna get some feedback.

 

[MistressValerie1]

Because of where I live and work, I have to keep it VERY secret. Only my subby hubby actually knows the whole deal; even my best friends don't know the extent of my interest 🙂

That's why I love the Internet so much -- it's the only place I can really talk about it openly.

By nature I'mnot a terribly social person. But if I had a group of friends I hung out with I would prefer that they were the sort of people I could be that open with. Or even better that they be into this sort of thing as well because, frankly, I don't think I could be good friends with someone who wasn't. I'd runout of stuff to talk about really quickly because usually I have nothing in common with the people I meet. 😛
As for family I would be perfectly happy if they never found out. But with the internet being the free place that it is and my (tiny) family being online I have to accept the possibility exists that they will eventually find me out. If that should happen I don't know what I'd do. Die of humiliation probably and the tell them that, yeah, it's what it is and please dont ever bring up the subject again. In her younger days my ownmother was no stranger to the wilder scenes so it'snot like things like that are taboo but I'mnot close with my family and it would just be weird.
Sorry for the long answer but...you asked!

I kind of go with whether or not I would feel comfortable knowing something that personal about them.

me… I don’t feel comfortable sharing this kind of thing with (or knowing this kind of thing about!) anyone who doesn’t need to know. and the only one in my day-to-day life who really needs to know is the one I want to tickle me that way.

so aside from the love my life, the people I know from on-line and gatherings, and my ex-husband (and the people he decided to tell) no one knows this about me. nor should they. it’s none of their business.

 

[Iluv2Btickled]

I'm very shy. I'm scared if I say anything to anybody, I'll be ridiculed. So in my real tangible life? No. Noone knows. NO ONE!

oh wait one person..who happens to have a foot fetish...he's the only one that knows but he's in school in Virginia and I'm about to go back to school in a few weeks so....yeah. One person.ONE! lol

 

[TRU1]

closed, my brother knows about it becauseh e found some clips ages ago but since he has begun to think im done with this (tickling) or he completely forgot about it

 

[Drago691]

One of my cousins knows. Just told him 'cause he was always around and I was sick of closing the windows on the forums. He didn't give a shit.

I told my mom, because talking to certain person (from TMF) about certain things got me into a stupid state of mind for a while. My mom said she pretty much knew, because of this one time, where she found a couple clips on my computer, and when she brought it up in the car (with two of my friends in it, and another cousin who doesn't know about... the most embarrassing thing ever. And she went on about it for the ENTIRE ride! She wouldn't shut up! Omg...) I acted all wierd, and pretended I didn't know anything about it, but I acted really wierd, and uncomfortable about it. And, I guess it was obvious. She didn't care, she just said, "Everyone has their thing, it's none of my business."

One of my friends knows. I just told him for the helluvit... he was the first one to know. He made fun for me for about 20 minutes, but generally didn't care about it. He went home shortly after, and we never talked about it again.

Um... let's see... I think that's it. Everyone else doesn't know, and I won't be telling them. 😛

I wonder if any of them even remember...

 

[SyDemon1]

My situation is very similar to MistressValerie, not that I have a wife, but my significant other is the only one I've ever told my fetish to.

 

[mrhahaha1]

I think some of my relatives know, but they don't bring the subject up. It's something that they've come to know about me over time. Heck, I've been like this since I was about 4 or 5 years old... But it must be in the genes because my youngest child (5 yrs) definitely has shown some early signs of the same interest as her old man... Obviously my better half knows... and suffers, hehehe - she says I'm weird but she lets me "express" myself when I feel the need... 🙂 she's very understanding and I know that I'm a lucky guy!

 

[Vyse]

unfortunatley i am surrounded by people who will jump on the ridicule band wagon if you are into an unusual activity whether it is your bestest closest most trusting friend or rel
ative, it doesnt matter. you have to do what is "usual", "normal" and accepted by society or else you will get the piss taken out of you by your closest mates, ive seen it happen, and because of this i cannot open up to such close minded people.

 

[His Divine Shadow]

I keep to myself about it. I have found most people to be generally unaccepting of different interests and thus I keep my trap shut. Being antisocial anyway, it really woun't have a positive impact if I DID say anything.

 

[AphxA1]

Im very hush hush. My family would probably lock me in the nut house. They're um very vanilla bout these things.

 

[blingman]

Even though there could be worse fetishes I'm not telling anyone. It's like a secret identity!

 

[dstrbd]

The only person I've let on to know is my girlfriend (obviously :happy: )

I'm pretty sure my parents know, because once or twice, i forgot to cover my tracks on the internet, and they looked on the compty (fyi, i'm an 18 y.o. college student living at home). The cool thing is that they haven't said anything, or let me know that they know in any way. It's like they're cool with it as long as I don't show my traces at all. I actually don't use the computer as much any more though, because my girlfriend's got about the most ticklish feet I've ever seen, and having them tickled is one of her favorite things to do.

 

[Ghost_Host_9991]

The last thing I would need is for anyone to find out, vanilla friends, relatives, etc...so I keep everything to myself...only told one g/f.

 

[Snowbank1]

What happened on Joe Millionaire? I never watched that show.

 

[Kalamos]

I'd probably keep it close and secret... but tickling requires a ticklee!
How secretive can you possibly be when at least one person is aware of your fetish? 😀

Not that I'm excessively open about tickling, but I'm not too secretive either: I think making it too a big deal would only inflate an otherwise unimportant matter - it is my "floating boat", so to speak.

There are people aware of it - both off and online; some even get a peek at my art before I post it here.

Ridicule has rarely been an issue, so far: while I am not too open [I don't tell strangers about it...], I'm not too shy either.

Besides, I can pass my fetish fascinations for artistic interest - most accept it without further question: they usually like me, my pictures or tickling enough, and they don't care too much about the rest. 🙂


Reg's.

My mom and dad figured it out last year when I was stupid about computers and didnt delete my history like I should've. They actually called me downstairs to "have a talk" and when I heard that I knew that was it because I dont get in trouble much and so anyway. They said that they had no problem with it as long as it didnt get nasty (tickling of the genitles and such). There had been a few things on a few sites that were like that but I didnt give it any mind. Im just into tickling for fun. Anyway, after that they never talked with me about it again. Oh, also one of my sisters knows because she found a clip that I had forgotten to hide (oops...XD). I pretty much keep to myself, but probably some people at school have figured it out because I've been caught staring at people's feet in class. My intention is to keep it private except to my girlfriend who shares my love for tickling and lets me tickle her all the time because it relaxes her

 

[cosquillero1]

My circle of friends don't know, except some females friends who guess that. All my ex-gf knew or guessed that, but my family don't know, except some female cousins who guess that too (and all those women know or guess, of course because i've tickled them).

 

[steph]

Most of my "real life" friends don't know, but weirdly go out of their way to "get me" anyhow. Maybe I'm sending out sublim msgs! ;-)

I do have a non playmate friend who takes some of the pics. He's got a million friends in the escort business~he's heard EVERYTHING, seen the forum, etc, thinks this is all very cute. Also, because I'm into the "bod mod scene" there's a crossover into BDSM. If someone finds out, oh well...

XOXO

XOXO

 

[MayDay1]

All my friends know I'm a little more kinky than your average customer. Most have assumed (correctly) I'm into bondage. Maybe one or two know about the foot thing. But they still hang out with me so it's obviously no big whoop. Hell, they ain't exactly a bunch of saints either. I run with a pretty strange crowd. One time a buddy was helping me move my bed and when we lifted the mattress he found a set of handcuffs and a condom. His reaction? He laughed his head off and said "Niiiiiiiice!" See?

All my ex-girlfriends know. I've had tickle fights with every one of 'em and they thought it was fun. Some brought it on themselves.

 

[mitchell]

Very interesting thread..

I had two friends discover some cips one time when I got careless on the computer. I've also told several of my friends and they just laughed- it's not like they don't have some skeletons in their closet though.

 

[masterandticklee]

I'm fairly open about it. My roomates from last year knew about my tickle fetish. They'd tease me once in a while...but once they understood that it really wasn't a big secret they relaxed. I actually have a pair of furry handcuffs that I leave out in the open *wink* in my bedroom so that whenever I have female company they can ask me about them. It's a good prop because it either leads to a conversation about sex...or tickling. Depending on the girls reaction.
One time however my mom found them while visiting me at college..needless to say that was a very interesting and disturbing convo..but funny in hindsight

I really prefer to keep it to myself but sometimes things get out, people talk, that's life. It's not like I would change who I am because of it, but I am more comfortable with friends and family not knowing. A few women I hang with know ( because I have tickled them) and a few others know because they know someone I've tickled.
