Tickling Secret Society/indentifying ticklephiles...

[Thelma Lou]

not to rain on the whole "secret" parade..

How could you keep it a secret society? I'm thinking a significant number of people on the TMF are people who are "into" tickling because their significant other got them interested. I don't have a tickle "fetish" per se but a serious interest because it helps me connect better with my fiance.
What about those who do have the fetish but have absolutely no interest in doing the whole symbol flashing neat-o named society thingie?
Both of these types of people are now privy to the details...next thing you know we're telling friends over a few drinks...one of those friends writes for a magazine..they write a small column on this whole secret society of tickle-philes...some producer at 60 minutes reads it and sends Leslie Stahl out to investigate it...she finds an ex-wife/husband of one of the members who's only too happy to spill the beans...the next thing you know you're watching the 60 minutes clock doing that ticking thing with Leslie doing a voice-over saying, "ever see anyone wearing this pin?"...and they flash a picture of the pin that you wore to last friday's office meeting!!..and now there's Leslie sitting there looking very serious telling the world that people wear THAT pin to identify themselves as being part of a SECRET TICKLE FETISH SOCIETY!!...aauuuugh...

I wouldn't worry about it, Thelma Lou. So far, we've had Yaqi on Howard Stern's and Dick Clark/Danny Bonaducci's show, and Jeff of MTP Productions on Playboy's Sex-cetera TV show, and this whole tickling thing is still pretty much a secret. The odds of 60 MINUTES doing a major story on this, when there are so many world-shaking events going on right now, are laughably small. Besides, anyone who would wear a "symbol" to work should have his/her head examined!

Just better make sure that someone like Andy Rooney or Dave Barry doesn't hear about it, though, because these are the kinds of things they eat up. Although it would probably be funny to read a Dave Barry column on a "gathering." How about one of you Southeast people inviting him (he's based in Miami with the Miami Herald)? 😎

I wasn't worried about it. I was playing devil's advocate. 🙄
