Power exchange is DEFINITELY a big part of the kick I get out being a tickler. For the benefit of those here in this who may yet not know me, I guess I should reiterate the fact that I ONLY tickle (consenting) females. I, too, have a strong focus on tickling female feet. In as much as I adore that part of the female anatomy (probably more than even genitalia, for the most part), I have come to truly relish the impact that tickling has on the ("foot owners") composure and decorum...and being able to impact or impart the loss thereof.
This is not to say I don't deeply enjoy or find gratifying getting a strong response to tickling on ANY part of her anatomy, as all has relevance to that "power exchange ethic" that most of us ticklers admonish. Although I have learned not to engage in behaviors that are deemed inappropriate to my "willing" ticklee(s) [and appropriate is a relative term *as I shoot a glance at my dearest shdwcoder*]
I still find it awesome, even after all the wonderful tickling experiences I have shared (many of you know who you are and are regulars here too
😉 ), that I can so innocently engage in something that doesn't seem overtly sexual [as such behavior is usually categorically prohibited in public tickling venues, such as gatherings and private tickling parties] and yet get SUCH a "kick" out of it that I bring a "spark" home to the one I am "intimate" with.
Probably equally as awesome, to me, is how I can combine my love for power exchange (as a person of dominant orientation) and my reverence for the well-formed female foot into an activity which innocently feeds both interests richly and deeply personally.
Gosh! What a joyous occasion it was for me (and I am sure I speak for others here too) when I was able to depart "the closet" with these intense desires and yet still have the opportunity to be met with understanding, commonality, and validation...as opposed to being ostricized and ridiculed.
Thanks for the opportunity to share these thoughts! Should continue to be a fine thread for sure!
