I'm from the UK, and I moved to the US 4 years ago. In that time I have started up my own clips4sale store, not something that I intended on doing when I moved, but I recognize in retrospect it would have been an amlost impossible task back in the UK.
However. having now revealed to some of my female friends back in the UK what I do and my liking for tickling, I have not been hit with the reaction I expected. Every single one was very open to it, though they had never heard of such a thing. So I would agree with Xin, remember as a people (though this is not the international impression of us) us Brits are pretty open minded, GOD HELP US look at Eurotrash... if it's still on that is!
So I would also encourage you to not focus on the tickling when looking for a woman, if you find the right woman, she will do most anything to make you happy. I got my first true experience this way.
I think that it's sometimes hard to remember as a tickle enthusiast, we can take it very seriously, while most see it as harmless fun. It's not as hard to get a girl in to tickling as you might think. If not in to it, then acceptant of it. I mean in any relationship there is usually a play off, of somewhat unusual things that both partners enjoy. I used to have a girl that liked it when I SHOUTED profanity at her during sex. Another would do some roleplays, that to me seemed a bit messed up, but whatever got her going y'know!! Tickling can very easily be brought in as just another factor in that whole dynamic. Though I remember how nerve wracking it was to first raise the idea to a girl.
Good luck dude.
