Tickling Presence at Frolicon?

[godking]

I'm a long time lurker and recent poster, and I'm wondering if there is any kind of tickling presence at Frolicon in Atlanta, GA. So is there one, and if not would there be any interest in getting tickling a part of Frolicon?

Apologies in advance if there is a better forum for this topic.

.....I might be a dunderhead for asking this but what is Frolicon? :huh

I googled it..... Its a convention for frolicking. It looks like a convention of people on one big group acid trip. I'm not trying to be a hater, I'm just saying. In their description of their event, they mention such activities as: virgin sacrifices, drag queens, life sized candyland, Rocky Horror, pagan rituals, spanking, art, and parties. Too random for my tastes

I really wish people would stop saying 'I'm just saying'.
Some of the things I could do without, but it does sound like there is a variety, enough to make it worth checking out if I lived closer. Something for everyone. Never seen a virgin sacrifice, pagan rituals can be educational. Spanking, art & parties, and yet Starkiller was just saying.

I was just trying to express my thoughts and opinion of the convention while making the point that I'm not condemning anyone who enjoys it. Everyone is entitled to express their thoughts without fear of someone putting them down for it.

I haven't been to the convention yet so I have no clue what its actually like. The few people that I've talked to about Frolicon, and have attended say that its fun, and that it's a convention where every kink can be explored with a couple of exceptions.

From the looks of the replies I've gotten so far, tickling may in fact be one that isn't catered to just yet.

Sounds like tickling would fit in.

Supposedly they have a dungeon, not sure what goes on in said dungeon but could be interesting.

pardon my bluntness, but...

I never thought I would read a post on a forum for a niche group of sexual fetishists like what I've seen above, but.... *deep breath and sigh*

It's also entirely possible to express your feelings/POV/opinions on any given subject while showing respect for the people who think differently than you. It also lays to rest the fear of the other group feeling condemned or "put down", because if their beliefs are being respected, they are not being judged. You are simply voicing your opinion on an event or activity. And as an extra bonus the speaker doesn't come off sounding like a wishy-washy, non-committal jerk, but rather strong-minded, committed to his convictions, and (usually) nothing is included in the message that can't supported, by fact. Allow me to demonstrate...

Example- those weirdos who get their kicks being tied up and tickled, now understand I'm not trying be a hater. I'm just saying it freaks me out an I would never want to do it

as compared to:

While doing an online search for "tickle files", I came across this site where a bunch of people who seemed to link tickling (like with a feather) with sex got together and discussed it. Not my cup of tea, but to each his own..

I realized these are two extremes on the reaction scale, but that doesn't change the nature of the responses Besides who couldn't use a nice frolic at least every one in a while. I might've gone if I'd known about it, had the money, and lived anywhere near where it's going down http://www.tickletheater.com/images/icons/icon9.gif ... oh well,guess 'll just have to wait Renaissance Pleasure Faire.....all those many long months away....

(hope I didn't get too preachy there, for anyone's tastes)

Sounds like a fun place to check out. I would have to say that some manner of tickling is probably going on in there. If it isn't these don't seem like the kind of people who are going to say that it is off the table.
