Hmmm. Some regard tickling as torture. S&M is, in the case of tickling, very subjective. Tickling is as far as S&M goes for me, but I have noticed a general increase in concept of torture of late. I do not regard tickling as torture as it - to me - is an activity between two or more consenting people. I've always said, each to their own, and I mean it! that is, if someone does want to be tottured as in pain, then ok. If they do NOT, then respect them and do not! It is alwyas that simple. respect the other's wishes. Although that too, can be... questionable. If the others' wishes is to hurt people against their will either physically or mentally etc etc, then the question is "should that be respected?" The answer I'd give is no!
This coiuld go round in circles for ever. One person's desire is always another person's fear, or words to that effect.
Where do we stand with regard to it all?
With regard to tickling, I'd like to think that we all here either like to tickle those who wishto be tickled, or like to be tickled by those who wish to tickle. For instance, I'd like to tickle a tied up woman for a few hours if she wanted to "get it", and I'd like to be tied up and gang tickled for a few hours by about ten women. It's all about concent.
No concent, no nothing. It's that simple!....... in these terms. There are other circumstances far beyond the concept of tickling or pain or whatever. Though it is hard for me to imagine, if concentual snuff movies were in production, I would not be in favour of them. Concentual Murder or suicide is a seriously questionable event. Where do we draw the lines? Who's personal gratification is more important?
That said, someone who is in the mental state i was in a few years ago might just give concent to their death. Perhaps I should say
No concent, no nothing! And no coerced/manipulated concent, no nothing. Again, where do we draw the lines? Or perhaps a better question is
HOW DO WE DRAW THE LINES?
