i did not in any way imply that tickling one's own kids in a sexual manner is ok. i was countering journia's post saying, to paraphrase: 'tickling kids is ok as long as its not sexual.' in that case it would fine for someone to tickle their own children. however tickling a stranger's kids should be a big no no and i'm having trouble understanding why anyone would want to, and even more trouble understanding how anyone could rationalize it. what's wrong with you people?
I don't think you understood what I meant. I wasn't refering to sexual touching. That's obviously wrong, immoral, and sick.
What I meant was that even if by regular, "innocent" touching of your kids, you still get turned on or you do it because you know it will turn you on is whats wrong. As I said, even if they don't realize their involvement in your feelings and to what extent you feel them, I don't think its proper to create something subtly perverse like that between your own children or anyone else's. If you can't tickle them without the fetish being a part of it, I also think thats wrong, because you're using your kids as a release, and though no harm is being done to them, morally speaking, you're commiting an unseen act against them. While you are the only one who would be witness to this, I think its far better to just avoid these occasions so you don't make a habit of them.
Thats all I was saying. Tickling your own children out of love or whatever is fine, so long as you know why you're doing it, and its completely void of your fetish.
It may not seem possible, but I believe fetishists, when tickling others, can choose whether their fetish has any motivation in it, or they are doing it purely as a spur of the moment thing. The planned scenerios, etc., are good for the bedroom with your lover, partner, or spouse, and the spur of the moment things are ok out side of that with the given considerations, I think.
As far as tickling underagers in public or private settings that are not your own, its best to just not do any more touching than you have to (ie- shaking hands, giving a short hug, a pat on the head, etc).
This is especially true if you're teacher. Teachers really need to make sure the physical touching is kept at a minimum and isn't anything the child could get you in trouble for.
