This idea came from Bella's thread entitled "'Lees who attend NEST and other gatherings: How were you asked to play?" Instead of asking for experiences on the politeness of 'lers who ask 'lees to play, I am interested in experiences of the opposite nature, mainly of 'lees who ask 'lers to top them.
In my two years of NEST gatherings I have asked to be topped thrice, with only one positive reply. However, all three times the individual I asked was usually taken a little aback at my request, not because they did not top (they were all switches) but possibly because of some other reason. Note, I have played with these people before but always as the 'ler and never the 'lee. Is their a strange psychological barrier for most people to come to terms with someone asking them to top them? I never once have had any 'lee come up to me and ask if I would like to tickle or play with her...in fact I have never seen this or have heard of this from or to anyone.
Does this happen and if so how does this usually turn out (for those who have been asked by 'lees or those 'lees who have done the asking)?
