I had a birthday last month.
I am another year older.
Each trip around the sun takes me further and further away form youth. I am now at that age when I am too old to be young and too young to be old.
On a place such as this... that constitues the death of tickling. Or at the very least finding a compatable partner who enjoys it as well. I have noticed that either the folks on here are getting younger or that I am noticing it because I am not.
The videos don't help. They are full of young, perky gals whose hair hasn't been touched by the greys of time, whose firm bellies never carried a child (or 5), and whose breasts have not been affected by gravity. This is what the 'Lers want... and this is no longer what I am. Oh sure... they will say different, yet why aren't more 'Lers (older ones of course) asking for videos of older mature women? Because that is not what they want to see. That is not what they want to touch. That is not what they want to tickle.
I suppose what really clued me in was the fact that my roommie, a TMF member and 'Ler told me once that he could never possibly get tired of tickling, yet it has been months (perhaps even longer than that) since our last full blown session. And before that they were dwindling rapidly. When I ask him about it he makes excuses, when I make tickling appointments (hey... it was worth a shot) he conviently forgets or suddenly becomes too tired.
The only thing that has changed? I have gotten older.
It's like the day when fellas start calling you ma'am, it's like the day you notice that heads don't turn anymore when you walk into the room, it's like the day you realize that it seems like more folks are younger than you rather than older than you, it's like the day you realize that youth has left for good.
I realize that regardless of what anyone says on here to be kind... I am just too old to be of any use as a 'Lee and certainly too old to attract the attention of a future mate. Not when there are so many younger 'Lees in the mix.
Not that I am putting them down. Not at all. Good for them. I just think that it is time to pass the torch and wish them luck. I won't be leaving this community, I have too many friends here... I just need to stop kidding myself that being ticklish and loving to be tickled is enough. It isn't. The roommate I have has shown me just how age can affect the way 'Lers act towards you, how they look at you and how it affects their tickling if the 'Lee is a bit long in the tooth.
I have topped the hill and started the walk down the other side.
I am past my prime.
