Just thought I’d weigh in with something, since I know my posts as of late can come off as kinda anti-SFW, or demonizing the SFW community as a whole. I don’t want to feel like a few bad apples spoil the bunch, since I do have SFW blogs following me that are very pleasant people - and are just as fed up with the Puritanism and denial running rampant in the tk community.
If for whatever reason you do feel uncomfortable with me interacting with your blog, I just want to give my two cents:
I can assure you, I’m not getting off to your SFW art, writing, reblogs etc. I’m not automatically thinking of tickle scenes in a lewd or NSFW context. If something is very clearly suggestive, then yes, I’m going to view it in a not-so-innocent way. But when it comes down to it, I keep my lewdness to my own OCs, or fav characters that are very clearly fodder for fanservice and lewd content (ex: Ban from Seven Deadly Sins. That man makes me r a b i d )
Personally, there’s a threshold for me where thoughts of tickling start off as the typical flustered, giddy, fight-or-flight excitement. It gives me a warm-fuzzy affectionate cuddly feeling, I can physically feel serotonin/dopamine in my system when I’m tickled. And I don’t want to tickle people with the intent of making them horny; I’m a gremlin revenge-Ler that, at the end of the day, just likes to see people laugh and loosen up. If pushed past that point, then the warm-fuzzies very much become hot-and-bothered. Half of my ticklish spots are erogenous zones. And if placed in front of a hot (and extremely ticklish) bod with exposed midriff and a bratty (or subby) attitude, I ain’t lookin respectfully and I wanna hear more sounds out of them than just laughter. But I’m not going to push that onto any and every character I see.
Yes, tickling is still a kink to me, and I’m fully of the mind that the “butterflies” are still a form of arousal. It’s a form of desire for more physically affectionate and intimate attention. IMO it hits the same points of the brain as getting a really good massage, getting gratuitous head scritchies, having a good cuddle session with a lover. And much like how a kiss can escalate into a make-out session and beyond, tickling can be a build-up into something more intimate. But as someone on the ace/demi spectrum, I don’t automatically expect it to take a sexual turn.
I think some people in this community need to remember that SFW at its core does not mean “No lewd or mildly suggestive content whatsoever” or “Sex-repulsed only”. The textbook definition is simply “No graphic or nude content”. You can be SFW and still be kinky. You can like NSFW and not view everything in a kinky context. You can draw nudity and not have any feelings of sexual excitement from it.
If you’re still uncomfortable with interacting with me because I do post some NSFW content or sometimes view tickling in an erotic context, then I understand! I will always try to keep a respectful distance from blogs that are strict about no NSFW content. And you can always unfollow or block me if it’s for the sake of your own comfort. Just please don’t jump to conclusions about people who aren’t sex-repulsed.
