Hey everybody, it's just Knicks here again. I came to post a topic bringing attention to something I've noticed a lot lately. When you hear people talking about a tickle session or meet up or anything along those lines, they usually use alot of very vivid words to describe it. Sometimes "Torture" gets thrown around. I understand that "Tickle Torture" is a popular term used to describe a tickling session, but I just got to wondering, do people actually regard the experience as being torturous? I don't know why you'd ever want to return to something you thought was that painful, so I figured it was all a figure of speech. I understand that a lot of this sort of terminology and ideology comes more from the BDSM scene, so that makes it make a little more sense.
However, I recently saw a clip of a 'ler who had tickled his 'lee to the point where she was using her safeword. Instead of letting up, he continued to tickle her feet as she was screaming, and not just as a finishing show or whatever. He went on for at least 5 additional minutes, ignoring the girl's begging for him to stop it. I found myself feeling really bad for the girl, this wasn't what she had agreed to! I should mention that she was bound rather tightly, so she didn't have any means of stopping what was going on aside from begging.
Another clip I saw ended with the 'ler forcing the 'lee to beg and scream for him, refusing to let up until she made her way through a variety of embarassing sentences and phrases. I get that people enjoy seeing the whole "torment" aspect of it, that it adds sort of an edge to the whole thing, but I guess I've never really felt that way.
For me, tickling isn't fun unless both parties are getting something out of it. If I'm in a situation where my 'lee is clearly uncomfortable or not happy with the way it's going, I stop so they don't end up getting hurt, physically or emotionally. But I'm not naive (despite misspelling that word because my keyboard sucks.), I understand that some 'lees, especially those who are big into the domination or BDSM backgrounds, enjoy that feeling of helplessness and being toyed with. It's just sometimes hard to tell whether or not they're actually suffering, and that makes it difficult territory for me. I'd rather not see people hurt in the name of a cheap tickle.
So I guess my point in making this thread is asking if other people share my views on the issue or not, and seeing how you, 'lers or 'lees, feel about the "torment" aspect of tickling.
