Dear Uncle Blabby:

How would I go about finding someone who would be interested in tickling me...my desire is not sexually-based, more out of a desire for pleasure. I enjoy the stimulation of being strongly tickled and the challenge of endurance. Being somehow tied down and tickled is more appealing, as I think that would reduce the moving and stirring that people do while being tickled, and allow me to enjoy the actual experience of being tickled. I would get a rush from this, but not a sexual one.  Any advice?

Dear Tickle Fetish,

This is a tricky one for Blabby. I’m not sure I’ve ever run into anyone with such a request. If its not sexual, why not ask a close friend to help? If that doesn’t work, perhaps a personal ad in the M4M section of Metroline?? In any event, once you’ve been tied down, you may get tickled in more places that you bargained for, but don’t worry, once it stops hurting, it will tickle you like never before.

Master Tickler,
Uncle Blabby

I notice that you do not receive many letters from women, and this might appear as a silly question but I’ll ask it anyway.

I’m 23, and I have had several dates with a woman whom I really like a lot.  I often think about setting up house with her, but I’m worried that we’ve been so focused on the bedroom that we’ve neglected the kitchen. In other words, neither of us can do much more than boil water. Do you think we can much of a future when neither of us can cook?

Dear Karen,

I’m totally confused. You say you’ve had ‘several dates’ with this woman, and yet you have not moved in together?? Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t lesbians only allowed three dates before having to make the ‘move in’ decision? On a much more serious note, of course you can survive together, even if your kitchen skills are lacking. Heck, you are both surviving right now with minimal skills living apart!! Getting together will only serve to stimulate the economy by your eating out more often.

Eat out but never at the Y,

Blabby:

Recently while in New York City I visited an S/M bar with my boyfriend. He had to coax me to go because I didn’t think I was in to that kind of thing. To my surprise I had a really good time. I’d like to explore the subculture a little more adventurously, but now my bf doesn’t want to go.  He says it’s too dangerous, but I think this is a cover for his potential jealousy should I meet anyone there. We’ve been together for several years, and have an “open” relationship.  I don’t want to proceed if it will make him too nervous. Your thoughts?

TJ, Westport

Dear TJ,

If you’ve been together for years in an ‘open’ relationship, certainly this subject had to have come up before? Hopefully you’ve discussed the implications and are both comfortable that the other can ‘play’ without becoming emotionally attached. If not, then that is the place to start. You both need to feel comfortable with the other having sex with someone else. If it’s just sex, without the emotion, then its just sex. Get down to that NYC club, jump up into the sling, strap yourself in, and have a great time!!

Sex is sex, Relationships are different,
