Tickling, gender roles and feet

[Master_Asvalder]

OK, this is something I wanted to post for a huge time and start a debate. Most of the time I see guys being ticklers and gals being ticklees. Many times I hear guys claiming not to be ticklish although it is not the case. Most videos portray guys tickling gals and aglas tickling gals. Too few videos portray guys being tickled by gals. Now don't get me wrong, I know most population is straight and most porn consumers are male, and staight males like to see a good porn with both men and women or women only, but why aren't more tickle movies where guys are getting tickled. I am not blaming it, I am just questioning it to find a bit of insight into the matter. For what are you seeing in my Avatar, you can tell I am pretty feminine in my appearance and behavior, a bit of gender fluidity, and you can guess I am kind of cute when I get tickled, dont you think. I am also a metrosexual which means I receive a lot of attention. So yesterday at work when I went to supply the packing kiosk a girl who tried to be funny groped my ass from behind and I squealed and turned arround. She smiled and mockingly asked "What's the matter amore" and then groped me again from the front only this time she aimed at my side which made me squealm giggle and put the box down. Then another girl which is considered an universla cutie rushed at me and started to scratch her nails against my tummy and pinch my abs and I was all twitchy and giggly and eventually she backed me into a corner and started to tickle me with no mercy and saying things like "cootchie coo, why are you twitching pretty?" with mock concern and all the people in the kiosk started starring until I grabbed her hands, dodged out of that corner and said "please, not in front of the others" to which she replied " I can't help, you are so cute ", then another guy said "you better watch out or this girls are gonna rape you". Then the girl in question said "Damian may get jealous of me having all the fun with you", at which point it started to become awkward and I took off. The point is this kind of things are realy fun, one of the joys I enjoy going for work which I am otherwise in for the money. So why other guys miss out on this type of fun? Isn't being a strict tickler a bit one-sided?
Another aspect is the feet aspect. WHY ON EARTH ARE MOST FETISH VIDEOS USING FEMALE FEET AS THE OBJECT OF attraction? And for that matter why are barefoot women much more socially accepted than barefoot men. Some men can have pretty feet. Just for the hell of it I will post an attachement of my own feet. Ready? So, aren't they cute? Also no golden stars for guessing their degree of ticklisness. I pedicure myself and apply blood red or bright red or black polish and sometimes even a coat of sparckle. Also in summer I wear open toe sandals to show them. So why can't my own feet be an object of attraction or why can't I walk barefoot outdoors in comunities like a village for example where you see many girls walking barefoot and people drooling all over their feet?
This is the debate I wanted to start. When will fetishists drop those stupid gender roles and have things become more two-sided? Or why do they hold these gender double standards so dearly since it's obvious a lot o fun is missed that way?

I am not gonna debate this as it's not really my kind of subject, but I'd like to point out a few of my own observations. These gender roles you talk about, most of the time come down to personal preference. Sure these strict lers could in fact miss out on something, so could strict lees. But they enjoy the role they play, so why try to tell them otherwise?

I have met and played with a variety of strictly lers, and from my experience some actually hate being touched and enjoy the control they have over another, while others are flat out not ticklish in the slightest. I enjoy being a switch, and the power struggle that ensues because of it, but I'll admit I find dominant men much more attractive than submissive ones, and this is my personal preference.

As for the feet aspect, well foot fetish and tickling fetish have always run rather close together, but just as there are many different aspects to the fetish of tickling I have learned there are as well for feet. I think you answer most of your own questions though, sex sells. Men are the biggest buyers and so the purveyors and creators of the video are likely to focus on females and their feet, as well as other highly sought after areas such as breasts and the like. Is there no market for submissive men? There certainly is, but it's not nearly as profitable unfortunately, and when it is it's usually a lot of male on male companies, with other companies only dabbling into female on male to appease what they probably consider a niche customer base as opposed to the mass of customers buying out anything with a female lee.

I find it difficult to take the presentation of this debate seriously. The meat of your post is just you talking about your own personal attributes and experiences, where you point out just how different you are from other men.

Well put Kai.

Well typically guys are more aggressive. Now women can be aggressive but they tend to be more comfortable around other women. As you mentioned, the audience for this primarily straight male, who prefer m/f or f/f. As such, there are more videos portraying thing this way and more prevalent behavior of this sort even in the outside world.

It may seem like that to you, though that was not my intention. I only wanted to present it a bit more two sided and the fact that I presented some personal aspects and experiences was because I did not want to talk int he abstract but rather present something more concrete.

So your point is that most men just happen to prefer to be ticklers and be in control after they tried both sides. And it is a coincidence that so many of them have the same taste. Yes, it is intersting...I guess I never thought it that way. Butfor the feet aspect I myself find good looking male feet as attractive as good looking female feet. And I find barefoot guys with good looking feet to be extremely sexy. Do you mean foot fetishists only like good looking feet and consider them sexy only if they are attached to a female body? Like breasts? In my opinion this is not very reasonable since feet are not a secondary sexual character like breasts or wide hips on females, and muscles or whide shoulders on men. In my opinion they should be a unisex object of attraction like a tapered waist which is sexy on both men and women (most people like a tapered waist rather than a fatty one).Is it also a coincidence that it is mostly men enjoying female feet and not the other way around?

You answered your own question before you even asked it.
