And back on topic...
There's the various ways in which a shy 'lee (of either gender) will encourage tickling. The ever famous, "I'm not that ticklish," being the usual favorite.
There's some of us 'lers that are very ticklish, and aren't used to such attentions from a room full of woman, like Boomtown shoutin', "I'm a tickler, DAMMIT!" That, between gales of laughter, wit' four or five women workin' him, was too damned funny. He wondered why I didn't jump in. As he said... 😉 I *know* what I'd've gotten for that one. They share more than just love, baby.
"That's all?" A question heard from a 'lee that brings a smile still.
There's the visual humor, like Tommy leapin' into the stocks the MOMENT the room went quiet after hearin' the question, "Who wants to go first." Gotta love the shy kids. 😉
Jan askin' for "just another five minutes" after her voice had all but disappeared. Picture the request, to Terorizer and I, given in a whisper. We weren't cruel. We only went for a moment more before makin' her get outta bondage.
The quotes that remind ya of the events are so very splendid. Great reminders of a great time. I hope this thread encourages more to visit a gathering. You can always show and observe, folks, though most of us seem to overcome our shyness fairly quickly. I've seen shy folks get over it long enough to play, either tickling or being tickled, and then get quiet again the moment that's over. Jason brought one such young lady, who tried both roles, and she remained charming and demure at the end of the evening. Y'don't gotta change. Y'just get to enjoy.
Peace,
