When is someone a "member" of the "tickling community"?

[ktickler]

Here goes a hypothetical scenario and some questions about it. Feel free to answer... 🙂

Let's say you are a male. Let's say you have your sister visiting and she brings a friend with her to stay in your house for a while. You know her from brief encounters with your sister in the past. So, you are at best friends, but not too close.

Let's say you spend every night watching TV with her and your family and she always lays down on her stomach with her soles facing up.

The first night you sit by her feet to watch the movie and ponder about the possibility to have a chance at them. Let's say you start massaging them and she likes it. Let's say that you sneak a few tickles in and she does not complain or move away.

The second night you do the same, but the tickling is a bit more intense. You actually do it while every one is laughing at the comedy and everything seems "normal". Let’s say that she looks at you a few times while you are tickling with a look that says, "you're bad".

The next night you start with some toe sucking/tickling and she seems to enjoy it. She starts moving her feet away when the tickling is to intense, but she always put them back in.

The last night, you go all the way with the toe sucking, and licking, and the tickling. Let's say that you are lying down next to her with each other's feet at each other's heads. During your foot worshipping/tickling session, she also grabs your feet and starts caressing and tickling them.

In addition to all that, let's say that after the movie and everybody is gone, you stay behind every night for some foot massaging and tickling. The last night, you engage in an intense tickle fight that has you both sweating and giggling. You notice things could get a little out of hand when you are sitting in front of her with her legs wrapped around you. While you are tickling her feet, she is tickling you on the sides and the neck. During a period of rest, she kisses you in the neck. Nothing serious or long. Just kind of a payback for all the kisses you have given her in her feet.

Let's say your guts tell you "you should quit while you are ahead". You both stand up, go get a glass of water, and say "good night".

Next morning, you both hug really tight and say "good bye". She goes back to her place of origin and you stay back in your house pondering the following questions, and suffering some tickling withdrawal symptoms.

Obviously, there was not much talking. Everything just happened. So...

What the hell did just happened? 😕

Was this an example of pure feral attraction and the luckiest days of your life?

Is she a ticklephile or just somebody who happens to enjoy tickling and foot worshipping?

Does she log into this forum and looks at tickling pictures and watches tickling videos?

Was this a rebellious act on her and something she did just because she will probably never see you again? 🙄

---

This could happen to you. Some people are probably not going to be thinking rationally much of anything. Other people will be extremely cool and control the situation to their advantage. Other people will become obsessed with her and follow her to determine her real feelings about tickling and/or you. Other people will just rather remember those days as a fond memory and that's it.

What if you see her again? Would you do the same or would you try something else? Would you try to converse with her about tickling?

I know there are a lot of questions, but the scenario is interesting and I just thought of putting it in the discussion forum to be dissected by different members.

Go at it.

Bye,

Knight Tickler

My 2 Cents

This is a very interesting scenario. It is difficult to answer this, but I will try my best! ......Ok, here goes......I think that the situation you described could be her idea of flirting, as strange as that sounds, it has happened to me before ......anyway, I do not think it would be wise to assume that she is a ticklephile......I think it would be best to talk to her a little more about what she wants, and slowly somehow incorporate the topic of tickling into the discussion......where you go from there, is up to you......I can tell you from some of my experiences though, it is NOT good to assume that one is a ticklephile!......try to think about the signals she has sent and form a logical conclusion......and as I said before, but slightly altered, "Where you go from here, is a choice I leave unto you......" Hope this helps! -Krokus 😎

 

[TickledToDeath]

Personally I think you already answered your own question.

There are members of our little community who don't even KNOW they are members due to the fact that they know not of the communities existance.

My suggestion....give her a map and the address.

Ditto to TTD!!!!

[Slappy McGee]

hmm, I don't know, I'll just use this analogy....

Just because you see someone enjoying a beer doesn't make them an alcoholic.

same goes for tickling. lots of people enjoy it, but relatively few to the extent of most of the members of this community.

never assume anything.

 

[TickledToDeath]

Ahhhhhhh but on that same note, if someone keeps coming back for MORE beers over and over, one might think that one was an ahcoholic😀 ergo if one keeps coming back for more tickling, one might think that one is ONE of us and dosen't know it!😛 😉 😀


TTD

 

[Slappy McGee]

hmmm....

good point TTD, so I guess what we have figured out is that if we can pinpoint the exact moment someone becomes an alcoholic, we will unlock the secrets of tickle lovers everywhere!!!!!

wait a minute.... what the hell am I talking about??

When is someone a "member" of the "tickling community"? When they say so.

Not when you find that they like being tickled. That could be someone enjoying the physical contact and intimacy. I bet that, if this were a live crowd, and not an online forum, I could ask for a show of hands and find MANY converts (folks who weren't ALWAYS into this).

That lass is likely amenable to tickling, and likely also now makes an association between it and sexuality. Nothin' wrong wit' that, nor is there anything wrong wit' introducin' someone to it, given the usual age constraints (insert very heavy-handed child protection rights here).

I've had several lovers that were very amenable to this, that DIDN'T get into this thereafter. Some have actually commented, years later, on how my fascination was "a trip" or "weird" or "unusual, etc. When asked if they still play that way, all but a few said no, and seemed to mean it. Some were vehement, others casual, but most weren't converted. They were just consenting, back then.

Nothin' wrong with consenting, either, so long as you return the favor.

Bad to assume anything about a person. If they come back for beers every day, they may like the beer, OR they may be an alcoholic, OR they may like the social enviroment and actually HATE the alcohol. Those are not the only options. There's a great variety you face, with each person.

With the fine example given by Knight Tickler, there was a clear consentuality and an affinity shown, unstated. That it ended there is almost sad, save that it's one fine bit o' romance, in it's own fashion. Thanks for it, Knight Tickler. I had a fine stroll through old memories of youth.

If I were to read that situation, I would guess that she was interested in you, and would go along with whatever you wanted to do.

<b>Personal experience similar to above situation:</b>
I have a girl that I met a couple of months ago who comes over early in the morning and doesn't stay long... She asked me to tie her up, knowing that I'd probably tickle her, but asked for it anyway. I'm positive that she isn't a ticklephile, yet she plays along with it, and almost appears to enjoy it (in my head she loves it). In reality, I'm sure that she just wants to get closer to me, and knows that I like to do that kind of thing.

My 2 pennies...

I would have to say when that person looks at tickling more than just a second of fun. 😀

ktickler said: What the hell did just happened?

You flirted. She flirted back. You escalated. She accepted. She escilated you accepted.

Normal mating behavior. based on what you said, odds are things could have gone much farther.

As to being a member of the community... I tend to think of it starting when a person starts to activly interact/discusses thier fetish with others.

[ktickler]

Thanks a lot

Hey,

I could have not asked for better answers to my questions. I am just glad to participate in such an incredible forum filled with intelligent and friendly folks.

I would like to thank you for taking the time in answering my questions. One tends to assume things and idealize situations. It is best to see the same scenario with other people's eyes to fully understand the picture.

I appreciate your responses.

Keep it up,

Knight Tickler

 

[Slappy McGee]

I think we are overlooking the obvious here..... I missed it all along....

somebody is "one of us" once they have the microchip implanted in the back of their neck, so we can keep an eye on them.

"What the hell did just happened?"

Well, since we're speaking hypothetical, I know you won't take this personally. If this were a non-hypothetical post, I'd say that what just happened was a not-so-clever attempt at boasting one's tickle-accomplishments under the guise of a legitimate question. But since the entire scenario is hypothetical, we know that's not the case.

"Was this an example of pure feral attraction and the luckiest days of your life?"

Yes. But not necessarily the luckiest days of her life.

"Is she a ticklephile or just somebody who happens to enjoy tickling and foot worshipping?

Assuming there is a difference, I would say neither. She was just being playful. Count your blessings.

"Does she log into this forum and looks at tickling pictures and watches tickling videos?"

Very doubtful. If she did, she would have mentioned it at the first tickle.

"Was this a rebellious act on her and something she did just because she will probably never see you again?

You're reading wayyy too much into this. She had a little fun, and in all probability she has forgotten all about it.

 

[Slappy McGee]

wow, you really think someone who you just happen upon is going to reveal that they come here to the TMF because you tickled them??

It is possible I guess, but my experiences are that people are rather private about their activities such as that....I know I have freinds who look at all kinds of porn on the internet, and god knows what else, but they never tell me about it, they keep it to themselves.

I just think anyone just coming out with something like that so soon would be a large risk to take, because it seems to me there is a big jump between enjoying an activity, and being a member of a forum devoted to it.... I know I would not be so bold, so soon.

 

[tkl325]

Hey Knight Tickler,

First of all, if this really happened to you that is so amazing!!
You were smart enough and bold enough to take advantage of a perfect situation!

I could never been that smart, and I have the stories to prove it.

I read your question again, and i get conflicting signals:

If she just was into the tickling as play, maybe she would have freaked out when I sucked her tosies; but she didn't, so maybe it might have been sexual for her.

But, she only kissed me on the neck, and not on the mouth. What would that mean? Hmmmm. Was she waiting for me to kiss her back?

If I saw her again (though I wouldn't pursue her - i would just hope to bump into her) I would definitely try to get myself in a similar situation again, though I wouldn't actually vocalize it.

Just my 2 canadian cents.

[ktickler]

Hi tkl325,

I appreciate your comments. Here are my thoughts...

Although the toe sucking might be sexual under many situations, I have had cases where I have sucked the toes of female friends and they saw it as something silly and playful (under the specific conditions in which such an act was performed, mind you). 🙄

I do, however, agree with the fact that toe sucking could definitely by received with mixed signals. My only suggestion from personal experience is to establish the ground rules from the beginning, so that both persons are clear with what is going on. 😎

Under this hypothetical scenario, it is hard to tell. There is a lot of action with very little talk. So, in this case it is a lot about body language and the actual environment in which the scenario is happening. :confused

About the kiss, I indeed believe this could have been an invitation for more. Remember that this happened during the heavy tickling. That’s why I put the note about “quitting while you are ahead”. This could have easily changed for the better or worse. It is good to take risks, but there has to be a limit." :

About your final comment, I could not agree with you more. It is apparent that there was some sort of connection there. Hence, it is very possible that the scenario could be repeated with very little setup and communication. The real question is “What are the odds that such a thing will happen?”

If there is something I have learned in life is that “opportunity only knocks once”. If you miss your first opportunity, it is very possible that you will never get a chance again. In other threads in the past I have mentioned that I have had to wait years to get to tickle somebody. Mainly due to the fact that I was not bold enough to do it the first time under somewhat appropriate circumstances. In most cases, I am still waiting. 🙁

Can you make it happen again? Very much so… However, you will spend a lot of time and energy into it. Is it worth it? Well, it all depends on how desperate you are and how much time and energy you have.

Thanks again.

Knight Tickler

Interesting comments so far. Here is another question...

What does excatly mean being an active member of this forum?

I mean, you can find people in your life who enjoy tickling but who have never or will ever look at a tickling magazine or video, participate is a discussion forum, or talk about it with anybody for that matter.

So, what does being in this forum make us? Freaks, or higher evolved beings in the tickling food chain looking for more satisfaction out of our tickling obsession?

Most of my tickling experiences have been "speachless". Meaning, they have evolved only based on touch and not talking. I do not even see myself talking about tickling with anybody in person to the level that we do here.

I might ask things like "Does this tickle?", "Are you sensitive here?", "Oh, I found the weak spot...". However, I would not talk about bondage or the implications of tickling in your sexual life.

So, does this create a divisory line between people who enjoy tickling and people who live tickling?

Thanks,

Knight Tickler

hypothetical??

ktickler,
Ok. Please tell. Was this really a hypothetical question, a fantasy or a reallity?

Not that any of these is negative in any way, I am just dying to know. If it was "ficticious" you have one hell of a great imagination.

All it means is that one is more involved with the tickling commuity.

Think of it in terms like this. Let's say you enjoy baseball. You are a baseball fan. A member of that 'community'. How involved are you?

You can watch it on TV at home. You can buy a special cable package to see more games. If you are more involved you can go to your local ball park and watch live. If you are yet more involved you might drive to other cities to see your favorite team play. You may even play the game yourself with friends, you may go to Cooperstown and look at the hall of fame, you may collect cards, balls, bats, autographs.

All are levels of involvement in the community. But at all levels you are a fan and community member.

The same goes in our community.

Myriads

 

[ktickler]

Myriads,

I see your point. I guess that answers the question.

---

Jen,

This scenario is a combination of true facts with some hypothetical situations.

---

What I have found out is that most of my intense and memorable experiences with tickling have been just like that. No talking, not a lot of conversation, just pure physical exploration of tickling through several encounters and different lengths of time.


Then, we basically never see each other again, or if we see each other we do not talk about what happened. However, if we fall into a similar scenario, things happen again and we go at the tickling without talking or asking or requesting. It just happens. And sometimes it does not happen again even we I look for it. (I have had cases when the first time happened like magic and then I tried again some other time and she got mad. Go figure...)

Hence, I was wondering if this is just a mode of flirting, or if so happens that I was lucky to find people who also enjoy tickling (at least for that brief time).

The funny thing is that this happens with any kind of female. Meaning, they could be complete strangers, could have feelings for me, could not have feelings for me, could be acquaintances, could be friends. However, we do not fall in love or try to pursue a sexual or lusty relationship. There is never sex or erotic play in these tickling encounters (except for a few cases that I can count with my fingers, but these are not the ones I am referring to). It is all about the fun of tickling each other.

The feelings that I seem to have are of friendship, trust, understanding, and playfulness. And I assume they have had those as well, because they seem to be fine with the way things have developed. However, I have never been able to explain how this even starts in the first place.

Do not get me wrong... I am happy to have such encounters and to be able to look for and find situations that transform into tickling play. However, I am baffled by the fact that this usually happens with an unspoken conversation.

Perhaps, people who like tickling have some way of communicating with others in ways that do not require a spoken language. Perhaps, it is the way we act or some secretion from our body that makes us trust other people to fall into "tickling love" for some friendly tickling play. However, it keeps us sane to the point that we can have a loving relationship with somebody completely different.

I guess the lottery is to find someone who can satisfy both of your loves.

Perhaps, I am just trying to explain the inexplicable.

Take care,

Knight Tickler

You know you're a member of the Tickling Community

When you babble incoherent phrases and walk around wiggling you fingers.

 

[JoBelle]

Slappy,
They didn't tell you that you were the only one? After that lat experiment with you failed, we were ordered to stop the implantation process. Sorry babes!

Seriously though, I agree with the others, as well. I think I became a "member of our community" when I reaized it was there! I was a citizen simply looking for a home prior to that. I'm sure there are folks though, who stumble into town and like it so much, that they decide to build a house!
