I read an article recently that had zip to do with tickling, but did consider young folks and exhibitionism, especially when the internet is involved. Some young folks enjoyed the attention obtained by the sex trade, or even sexy exchanges, on the internet, especially after being told how desireable they were. In no time, the novelty of it wore off, and many participants made inquiries about withdrawing graphics from the internet. Panic ensued when told such things were a one way street, and there are no "overs."
This isn't to equate tickling with such trade, although, I do think young tickle people likely enjoy such attention as well, and there is surely a sexual aspect for many of us. There isn't any dispute that many of these tickle people do look rather appealing.
What does that have to do with this? I'm in my upper fifites, and find tickling more fun today that when I was twenty. Yet I have NEVER been able to express this publicly. As to the trade, it's a young person's game. I believe, even when I was young, it was such a private matter to me that I could never have played it to a public audience. Still, I wish the those youngsters well, and hope there is never such participant's remorse as we see in other parts of the sex trade. I also hope and pray there isn't any of the coercion in the tickle business that we know of in the pornography industry.
Angelique said: I'm a woman in my late forties, I've always been into tickling and I am now more than ever. But strangely, I feel a bit overaged for it, as if laughing silly and writhing was much more a matter of young girls.
Strangely, I don't know why, but in the other way, I don't think that it looks weird when the one who tickles is mature.
I've said before I may make it to mature sometime, but hope not. I hope I never lose a young man's excitement for life. I think tickling is one of the things that helps keep my attitudes fresh. I've been pinning my wife down and tickling her silly for over thirty years. The sexiest thing in the world is watching her every reaction to ever more intense tickle torture. She is in her mid fifties, but when she is getting tickled to death she is twenty again...what with her writhing...and screaming...and stamping her feet into the bed...and laughing...and begging...and threatening...and GREAT CAESAR'S GHOST!...I love what she does when I finish tickling!!!
She's never had a tickle fetish that I know of, but think she would start to worry if I stopped tickling, and these days she says she is too old for this activity...it says right here she isn't!
So Angelique, you go ahead and get silly and laugh and writhe and tickle and get tickled. Tickling is much too important and glorious to be properly appreciated by the young folks you see on the internet, and you are never so utterly beautiful as you are that last moment before you scream from your next tickle session. Enjoy every second of it!
No one would buy any tickle thing that featured some of us "mature" people, whatever that means. Still, if my wife thinks she is too old for such, she has another think coming.

They say I am feeble with age, Maggie
My steps are much slower now than then
My face is a well written page, Maggie
And time alone was the pen.
They say we have outlived our time, Maggie
As dated as songs that we've sung
But to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie
When you and I were young.
