11 pages. I thought this thing was dead.
Cheshire, I can almost see where you are coming from in your longer post, but i think that you are missing some key outside variables.
1. We are not talking about tickling in general and its impact in society as a casual pass time, I think that we were focusing mainly on prolonged bondage tickling and questioning wether or not that was a sexual act or not, which it is.
2. Society may accept f/f tickling in casual and in more intense situations, but why is that. Is it because we don't see it as homosexual for women to tie women up and tickle them? I would assert that it is because we really don't care. frankly the reason we don't have this discussion with every f/f clip is because it gets the largest amount of people off, lets be frank.
3. I don't know of any conotation of tickling being a femanine act. I do know of its conotation, as Val said, of being inherently playful and semi-erotic, to all of society as a means of flirtation. And honestly if i remember high school well enough, almost every group of females interacted with each other in a way that sometimes could be mistaken for flirtation. I don't know why, I just remember it being fun to watch.
4. Men i still hold firm will be proven to be the more homosexually active of the two sexes. I think that is why we have so many males that are so extremely anti gay, It's because they don't want anyone to think that that drunk guy on the beach that night was them, get my drift. And also we shun the femanine conotation of homosexuality, nbot tickling as an act.
i hope that made sense, feel free to reply with questions. It's early.
