I remember reading this guide before my first NEST and thought "I can dig it". Of course, I was thinking "as tough as it is to find women who love to be tickled, this should be a tickle smorgasbord!" Being reasonably cute, I was sure gals would be lining up to feel the wrath of my digits. Needless to say with that attitude, I did not happen and I was a bit fustrated. We share a fetish that is unique to say the least. Many think it is weird, childish, or not a real fetish compared to some of the other kinks. I did not ask to be born with this , and how I got into it is irrelavant, but finding a lee', especially where I am, is very tough. I thought NEST was going to be tickle heaven, especially for this rocker stud.
But what I almost missed was some great times, new friendships, and I did get to tickle a few in the end. Lee actuallly tickled me, and I enjoyed it. I am not a lee', but once I got over my own s#it, I had a really good time. I went back in 2010 and had a good time. I was told by some of the NEST vets that maybe I needed to go to smaller gatherings where action is a bit more open. (A house versus a hotel). But I had a great time. Unrealistic expectations are premeditated resentments, and me thinking that female lee's are going to just let me play with them almost turned into a wasted trip, but I luckly caught myself in time.
I think most male ler's get frustrated by female nervousness when it comes to being tickled. Whether through Fetlife, Craigslist, or even the TMF personals, I have had females lee's talk once or twice and then back away. I have even thought about tickling guys a time or two just to tickle SOMEONE. But let's face it. The world is a Snickers bar, it is chock full of nuts. There has to be a courtship of sorts before anything happens, no matter how you look or act. Today I can dig it. If I do not get to tickle at NEST this year, I will still have a good time. I don't drink or party, but I do not need social lubricant when around my fellow friends of the feather, and that is worth the price of admission.
