Discuss about Tickling

[Mother Vashti]

No conversation about tickles is complete without these ol'boys:

I think I do understand what you are trying to say and I must say that I respect you so much for understanding how the ticklee may feel. I had tried many times to explain to my ex but then there were many problems in the relationship..... oh well anyways in the future if the guy I date should attempt to use my ticklishness we will set up a Safeword. That is a great idea. Thank you Mr. TickleMonster!

you are welcome JoJo. and i'm also very sorry for whatever your ex did to you and that you two weren't able to work out your relationship i'm sure it must have been tough. But you'll find someone else! i know it trust me.


also if you'd want to JoJo or maybe you wouldn't want to at all. But i was thinking we could Discuss tickling further with each other? since it seems like me and you both have some thoughts on it.

But that is up to you whatever you decied.

But i really find Tickling to be real fun and cute. i don't really know why i do to be honest but its just a fun thing and plus its a great ice breaker as well with people.

ummmm an ice-breaker?? If you can't find something to talk about with the person you are with it means that you either don't know eachother or you simply are not close enough and in both cases you should not be touching!

Tickling I think should be reserved for close family members ( parents and kids, siblings) and people in relationships. It's a private thing and everyone involved understands where they are at in this relationship- so noone is left feeling awkward and creeped out and they don't have the urge to run!

I have to agree with JoJo that boys tend to use tickling as a way of flirting and I think it can be a bit inappropriate.

Sorry to be so serious- I like tickling when it is my boyfriend or brother...otherwise, acquaintances and even good guy friends- hands off.
It's not cute.

My husband tickles me--and that's fun...but it's such an intimate thing for me, that if someone I don't know well or I don't like tries it, I'm likely to just up and smack them before thinking twice. Definately NOT something to use as an ice-breaker! There's this woman at a church I used to go to, who always tried to tickle me...well, she also never took a bath, but that's not why when she came around I made a habit of running & hiding. It was so I wouldn't wind up offending or hurting her. It was just too, too offensive, to have her touching me like that. And not only offensive--patronizing! I hate to be patronized...I think everyone does. And when someone uses tickling as a powerplay to make you feel belittled, and make them feel like they're more mature than you, suddenly it's not funny at all. Not in the slightest.
I think tickling is great for little kids, if you're babysitting or a mom...every three-year-old needs to be tickled sometimes. I used to love having ticling matches with my mom...when I was 6! But it's too tactile a pastime for adults.

see RJHarmony has the right idea about tickling its supposed to be fun and just simply that nothing more and nothing less. Laughter is a true gift from God

But like RJ and I said...don't be tickling someone you shouldn't be and if you do, make sure your heart and intentions are in the right place.

And yes, laughter is good and biblical.
