I'd like to echo NJLaughs in that, YES, let's please try to keep the content focused on a legitimate tickle-vs-consequence scenario, one where surrender or escape is not without some unpleasant consequence. I'm not saying they all should be hanging from the Space Needle while a squirrel tickles their armpits, but just that the particular theme, the "spirit" of the thread be respected and adhered to. I feel like the Theater's version of this thread was a little too saturated with "buddy tickles!" and other pieces that were too vanilla.
Jude38, bear in mind, it's in context. It's not like anyone here (besides the recluse and unsocial 1% who don't talk or ever leave their monitors) is actually getting their rocks off to the idea of a guillotine hair-cut. It's based off the feeling of suspense, the extra thrill of seeing the ticklee between a rock (tickling) and a hard place (elaborate unfavorable scenario). If people really got off to Hostel or Saw situations, they'd just cut out the tickling and draw graphic awfulness with lots of blood.
This thread can feature concepts as simple as someone being interrogated for very compromising information or a girl holding her bra straps in her teeth to keep from dropping them while her bff prods her pits. Just like a conversation between any two women in the world, we're all here for the "feeling", not the logic, lol
