This question is to both sexes

If an IRL friend of yours of the opposite sex came out to you, would you offer to indulge your mutual interest with them? The tickling can be platonic fun, or sexual.

If it was someone that I was really just friends and there was no physical attraction then no I wouldn't. But if it was someone who I felt a little bit of a connection with I might figure out some questions I could ask to kind of feel out if they'd be open to having a session.

I don’t know how I’d handle it. I mean I came out to my last ex, and it went well. But I’m very very shy and reserved about coming out about it

If it was a friend of the opposite sex I would definitely offer to engage in platonic tickle play. I recognize that we as people and society in general have placed sexual overtones on the act of tickling (especially when the tickling is a planned session between opposite sex participants)...But there doesn't have to be any sexual behavior at all. The intimacy of trust (if doing sessions) and the intimacy and proximity of two people( even if just playfully tickling), gets looked upon as sexual intimacy and proximity (which is not an automatic link). I have tickled women with the idea of just being platonic play partners (even using bondage to enhance their ticklishness) and no 'boundaries' were ever crossed ( and the women came back for more sessions) . I have also been involved in tickle play situations with one girlfriend in particular who wanted the bondage and tickling as a arousing bridge to 'other activities'.

If there was a female lee/switch who wanted the stress relieving aspect of a tickle session, I would have no hesitation to accommodate them.
