Teacher/student tickling

[tklr5150]

For some reason this popped into my head in the gym earlier today. We have at least a few teachers in our midst, so this is mostly directed towards them.

Suppose you discovered or were discovered by one of your students here on the TMF? What if he/she mentioned it to you? Would you own up to it (since it's unlikely the student would be one to spread it around) or would you try to play it off?

Or, what if the student was interested in pursuing a tickling relationship with you, even if it was just of a discursive nature (assuming the kid was 18). What sort of protocol would you observe? Let's even hypothetically assume that there would be no risk of exposure that might affect your job. Or is the very idea too Mrs. Robinson to consider?

If a kid approached me about this, I wouldn't even entertain the conversation. How either of us expresses our sexuality is a privacy issue that I consider off-limits.

Ethics aside, it would turn me off. Too much like French-kissing a cousin.

Teacher/student relations

I must concur. Ethical arguments are often subjective, but anything that threatens the vulnerable teacher/student relationship can't be good. While I admit the thrill of the forbidden is sorely tempting, the potential consequences are serious enough so as to make it not worth the risk.

Gotta agree with ontheverge and Richard, for the reasons stated.

5150,

Pursuing it is out of the question, except for the self-destructive. Woe to the teacher who discusses his or her sexuality with a student.

Material for fantasy?...that's another story.

Maybe i just interpreted the story much differently, but i thought he meant sometime after the teacher actually had the person as a student. If it was that case i think it would be totally fine, they're two adults, they can talk to whoever they want about whatever they want.

 

[Sunriseticklee]

No offense to you... But

NO WAY IN HADES! Wouldn't talk about it... wouldn't engage in it.... wouldn't even go there!

It really isn't worth it. It will ALWAYS be a lose lose situation for the teacher.

I just have one question: Are we allowed to tickle other peoples' teachers, as long as we have permission and/or a permission slip from them?

I'd still be extremely uncomfortable. Regardless of whether you teach in a small town or an urban area, there are always neighbors, younger brothers and sisters, colleagues, administration, etc. to be considered. A dog doesn' s___ where it eats...

But tickling teachers your own age is welcomed and encouraged!

Interesting that so many of the responses here seem to be about tickling and the fact that it is always sexual, with everyone, 100% all the time. Funny how we all just got into tickling at the age of 18 (or after) with no previous playing, exploring or experimentaion, and it was/is alwas related to sex.

It's funny that you would ask this question.. well, funny in the timing. See, I'm currently in school, working on my teaching certification. I've also considered doing a tickling video- NOT one of the nudity-filled ones, but just pure tickling. (I would say no sexual content, but let me rephrase it by saying no explicit sexual content. Does that make sense? I mean, some people can see someone in sandals and get aroused, but that doesn't mean the person wearing the sandals was trying to arouse anyone.. she was just walking or going about her daily business.)
Sorry, went on a tangent, let me get back in focus.
I had considered making the video a few months back, but then chickened out thinking "What if a parent of a student recognizes me? What if a <i>student</i> recognizes me??" Then I thought it through again, and figured, well, I'm not nekkid. I'm not performing any sexual acts. I really could use the money. I enjoy being tickled. I can always say "No, that's my twin sister."
To answer your question- I would never have any sort of tickling relationship with a student. Whether or not it's sexual, any sort of interacting like that would lead to trouble. I am a teacher, I am a professional, I am a friend but I am not a "buddy." (heck I don't even tickle with my friends, much less a student.)

Long-winded reply, very sorry. 😀

Dear Oddjob,

There are two kinds of orientations toward tickling and sexuality among people who FREQUENT this Forum:

(1) Those who are aware that tickling was and is sexually stimulating for them.

(2) Those who are not aware.

BTW--How does the fact that one's tickling interest may have begun in childhood, when sexual awareness was less acute, affect the question of this thread: Should a teacher discuss (or, horrors, conduct) tickling with students?

my wife is a teacher

she teaches in a b.d. class room.
she would never even think to tickle a student. if a student tickled her, she'd just tell him to stop, and go to his seat, just blow it off. if he didn't, he'd be put in detention, possibly isolation to cool his jets.

Before college, I'd agree wit' ontheverge and the rest - bad idea.

In college, I do recall brief tickles wit' the staff, but I was an adult then, if a goofy, very young one.

I ain't OddJob, but I respectfully disagree wit' ya, 'dog. There's more than two kinds, 'cause I'm a third, and know others like me. Add this:

3) Those who found it stimulating in certain circumstantces only.

I couldn't get excited about tickling my aunt, for instance, but it was funny as heck to tickle her.

As y'see from my previous post, I also CAN tickle a teacher, and CAN condone it, but ONLY if it's in college, where ALL are of the age of consent.

First of all may I express my sympathy for the victims of the horrendous event of last year and my regret that the organisers of the atrocity have yet to be brought to justice.


On a more light-hearted note, it has always been a recurring fantasy of mine to tickle a teacher - however, if the oppotunity had arose for me to do this I don't think I would have. This is not because of ethical issues or even because I think that to tickle a teacher would cross the boundary of acceptable extracurricular activity. It is instead because I am really a big scaredy cat! I would be petrified of betraying my true desires to tickle. I responded to this thread because I wanted to put a question to members of this forum. Did many tickling experiences of yours occur at university? How did you instigate such events? In particular is there one British institution that you would consider to represent a cornucopia of tickling?

By the way i would like to say B******s to this "age of consent" arguement. Why must people always try to be so bloody politically correct?? I prefer to treat the "age of consent" as a guideline, a suggested reccommendation if you will. There are circumstances when the age of consent should be adhered to and there are other occasionas when age of consent is a mere triviality.

Dear dvnc,

The respect is mutual and I always welcome a good discussion.

Now, when you say you are a "third kind" and bring the example of your aunt, are you saying that you come to the TMF because you enjoy the kind of roaring good times that come from tickling your (pretty? young? spirited?) aunt for a few seconds at a family get-together?

Actually, I believe what you are saying is that there are some circumstances where tickling is not sexual for you, although often/usually/most-of the-time it is sexual.

dvnc, I would compare your remarks to kissing: Kissing is often sexual and sometimes it is not. BUT, if there was a web-site forum devoted to (erotic) kissing with stories and pics and vids and discussion, I'd say the place was very sexual, in spite of the fact that its devotees would enjoy the occasional non-sexual kiss.

My problem is with people (I'm not saying OddJob) who may spend hours and hours here engrossed in tickling stuff and then say: "But I just think tickling is a lot of fun!" There are actually people who produce tickling material who are in this state of denial. Let's understand ourselves so we can be fully in touch with our choices.

Thanks for listening,

Woohoo! I *always* use the kissing argument! Well said, 'dog. Like kissing, tickling is relative to both the circumstance, and the persons involved. Thus, my perspective of three types of us:

(1) Those who are aware that tickling was and is sexually stimulating for them.

(2) Those who are not aware.

(3) Those who are only stimulated by such stuff in context, when the person with whom they play is someone they find stimulating.

Now, my aunt AIN'T stimulating. *squick*

As for why I come here, primarily, it's to moderate. Secondarily, I interact amidst those who share aspects of the same interest as mine - tickling. Some here like it this way, some that. It's varied. Bein' that I have tickling goin' on at home, and many friends into this, the TMF is auxiliary for me. It is, however, fun.

'Sides, I getta talk t'folks like you. I like that. Y'all are cool.

Some folks (definitely not OddJob) are into their own trip. I say let 'em do their thing, if it ain't messin' wit' others. If a guy's gonna delude himself, ain't much t'be done, UNLESS it harms others.

Then, bad things should happen.

Here's hopin' for trivia, and less bad things.

Props t'ya for bringin' up my fav arg,
