Random Rhinoceros Ramblings

48/M/Ler. The tickling community's resident rhinoceros, talked into making a Tumblr by certain bad influences. Not quite sure how this works yet, please bear with me as I boomer my way through. 😂 Anything I post here is intended strictly for an adult audience. 18+ only to view/follow/interact/etc, please.

Name: Pete

Age: 48

Relationship status: Single

Lives in: Arizona

Screen name: Rhino or some variant on most things. ASUTickler on TMF and Fetlife.

-My main fetish is, of course, tickling. But I'm a big fan of anything involving physical touch, which is where most of my sub-fetishes and things I like come from: wrestling, edging/tease and denial (especially with tickling), kissing, cuddling/snuggling... You get the idea.

-I love to play in general. I can enjoy keeping things light and easy, I can also go pretty damn hard if I know someone well enough and they're into it. I like it all, and I like to have a mutually enjoyable experience with whomever I'm playing with. I love the idea of someone smiling when they think about the time we spent together.

-Bondage is fun, but I prefer to wrestle around. I'm a very large dude, and pretty strong. It's easier to escape rope, cuffs, or whatever than it is to escape me. 😂

-I love to tease and get in someone's head and build anticipation. But one thing I can't do is be serious for very long. I can be scary, sure... But I'll also be making jokes the whole time.

-I'm still pretty new to Tumblr, but I've been around the gathering scene since forever. I've been going to NEST since 2007, and I'm on the NEST staff. I've been going to Bash since 2008. I do TKLV and AUNT as well, plus some random other stuff here and there.

-I have two cats, they're my babies. ❤️

-I spend way too much time at work. But in my spare time, I like lifting weights, action movies, video games, comics... All kinds of nerd shit. 🙂

-My main hobby outside of tickling people is competitive strongman. It's a lot of fun, and encourages me to keep hitting the gym even at my advanced age. Also helps a lot with the whole wrestling thing. 😉

Not really sure what else to say. If you're curious, you can ask me whatever you want on here. Anonymous or not, I don't care. 🙂

Buried this at the bottom, but this is me. Also my current PFP on Fetlife, if you want to find me there. (Note that I'm not very active on Fetlife.)

This is awesome, thank you brother! Oddly enough, I actually went as Bane for the Bash costume party way back in 2013. So kinda true to life. 😂

How often are your sessions pre-planned as platonic tickling but during the session it becomes more intimate? especially if bondage is involved, or is there no correlation?

Interesting question. The short answer is that if something is pre-planned as platonic, it's staying platonic.

"Negotiating up" or adding in additional, escalated elements mid-play is a terrible idea for many reasons. I don't do it, and I'm not going to let someone else do it if we're playing together. If they decide they want more, then we can discuss it later to possibly incorporate the next time. (Although I really have to know someone VERY well in order to feel comfortable moving into seriously intimate territory with them, so it's not like an automatic yes for the next time, either.)

Bondage/no bondage is irrelevant to this, negotiating up is a bad idea either way. (Also I rarely use bondage.)

That said, with certain very close friends where we've played a lot, know one another's boundaries well, and have established consent that covers this sort of activity, then it's always fun to just play and see where things go. 😁 But that's a VERY different situation to pre-planning a platonic session and then adding more in the middle of it.

Hope this answers your question. 🙂

So in this little clip I was faced with quite a quandary: I wanted to make a little content, but I didn't have a mask or anything to hide my face. What to do? Make an impromptu mask out of @missteriouslee 's cute little feet and toesies, of course. 😁

Sorry for the lack of commentary and teasing in this one... I kinda had my mouth full. 😉

[missteriouslee]

Apparently, Rhinos get hungry a lot. And that means they like choosing the worst snacks they can find.

I think @thetiniestrhino needs to be super grateful and nice to me that I didn’t accidentally kick him.

Also, see how nice I was to him? I didn’t kick him ❤️. But you see that bruise next to my knee?? He did that to me 😭

[thetiniestrhino]

All right, let me address the elephant (rhino? 👀) in the room: I am quite obviously very large, and one does not get that way by being a poor chooser of snacks. 😤 @missteriouslee 's little toesies are an EXCELENT snack: No calories, still highly satisfying. A perfect treat. 😁

No need to worry about accidental kicking. I have a good grip, those feet are going nowhere. (Despite someone's best attempts.) 😂

As to the barely-perceptible bruise, can one truly be blamed for squeezing such a delightfully ticklish knee? I think not. HOWEVER, perhaps next time a nice, long knee-tickling video is in order. 🤔

[autizzy]

I don’t know, tickle tools are GREAT don’t get me wrong, but the intimacy and connection AND skill of being tickled by hands will forever be top tier to me🥰

[lu-writes]

..................... this plus when they start using their mouth. 🥲

[thetiniestrhino]

I'm all about all of this, honestly. My favorite "tools" will forever be my hands, beard, and mouth. 😁👐

[thetiniestrhino]

Part 2 of @missteriouslee learning a very harsh ("harsh" 🙄) lesson about why it's unwise to steal one of my t-shirts. You can't see because it's over her head, but that's my precious Smokey the Bear shirt. I hope Smokey's ears are all right after all that yelling. 😂

If you're looking for part one, I linked it below. 🙂

[thetiniestrhino]

Stealing one of my favorite t-shirts is a really terrible idea. It's gonna fit really big. As in big enough to tangle you up and trap you in it - Leaving you vulnerable to whatever sort of rhino depravity I can dream up. (Spoiler alert: It's gonna be tickles. 😂)

Unfortunately, the lovely @missteriouslee had to learn this lesson the hard way. (As per usual.) 😁

[thetiniestrhino]

If we're at a party, event, or function of any kind, just know that I'm constantly on the lookout for a secluded space to drag you into and see how long you can stay quiet. 

"OMG, stop, what are you doing?! People will HEAR!" Uh... Yeah. Sounds distinctly like a 'you' problem. Have you tried being, you know... Less ticklish? 😂

Don't worry, though. If you can't stay quiet while I take it (relatively) easy, I'm more than happy to clamp a hand over your mouth and REALLY mess you up. 😈

[thetiniestrhino]

Know what comes along with being a large dude? Really big lungs. I can take a long-ass breath and blow a raspberry that seems to go on for DAYS. Where would you like it? Your tummy? Your inner thigh? I can burrow into your neck for a devastating one. Or pry your arm up and turn your pit into an echo chamber. Hell, I can play the arch of your foot like an undignified-sounding harmonica, if you'd like. (Or especially if you wouldn't.) 😂

The first time you hear the long, deep breath, you'll be like, "WTF is this dude doing?" But after you've felt it once? That deep breath is your cue to PANIC. 😈

[thetiniestrhino]

Listen: I'm a large man, I am not normally into small quantities of food. But if you've only got 8 M&M's, then the absolute best way to enjoy them is to put them between @missteriouslee 's toesies and eat them that way. Just be sure to keep a firm grip on her feet so as not to lose teeth, and perhaps consider some ear protection. (This is just a gif, so you'll have to imagine the screaming ruckus yourself. 😂)

[missteriouslee]

@thetiniestrhino keeps coming up with new and improved ways to torture the ever loving sh*t out of me.

If you think it’s cute the way he’s holding my normal sized feet with his giant hands, it’s not. He’s just making sure I don’t kick him. 😂

(Miss you despite your crazy ideas 😘❤️)

This was fun. Let’s do it again

[thetiniestrhino]

Honestly the best M&M's I've ever eaten... But seeing this TOEtally makes me want a second helping, @missteriouslee . (And a third. And a fourth... 😈)

[thetiniestrhino]

Do you like the thought of fighting for your life against a genuine tickle monster, but you're afraid to take me on solo? Perfectly understandable, but there's a simple solution: Bring a friend! Surely I can't take on BOTH of you, right?

I DEFINITELY won't be able to stack you one on top of the other and tickle the living shit out of you. 🤥

Surely there's NO WAY I could manhandle two people at once. That's crazy! 👀

I TOTALLY won't have you both in such a state of giggly desperation that you're begging to turn on each other. You're FAR too strong for all that.🤞

2 v 1 me! It's the smart approach, and it's TOTALLY fair. I swear it. 🥸

After all... What could possibly go wrong? 😈

[yourlittlettoy]

My toes sh*t in @thetiniestrhino ‘s bed :(

(Because he t-worded the shiiii out of them 🥴)

[thetiniestrhino]

It's not funny, y'all. I have to sleep in here. 😩

[thetiniestrhino]

Superficially, I'm tickling you for my pleasure. But the unspoken reality of the situation is that I'm tickling you for our mutual pleasure. Knowing this allows me to switch off certain key features of my brain in the context of play. Sympathy, for example. Compassion. Kindness. I get to be the villain for a change, and absolutely revel in it without one shred of guilt. 😈

[thetiniestrhino]

As someone who not only has sessioned a bunch but also has worked with tickle events, what would you say to a person who does want to open up to the community more irl but is just so shy about it?

Not that I don't want to but I am just too apprehensive to pursue that irl interaction anyways. But also, I do think it would help me overcome some loneliness. - 💿

Hi 💿!

This is a really good question, and I'm going to try to answer it. I can tell you what works for me, and I can tell you what I've observed working for others. But this is, unfortunately, a highly subjective topic - What works for me may not all work for you. I'd advise you to get lots of perspectives on this (there are a lot of good writings out there on this topic) and pick and choose what you think will work for you. 🙂

Engaging with the community IRL has enriched my life in more ways than I can explain, I HIGHLY recommend it. But I get where the anxiety comes from - I felt it, too. Here's what I'd recommend to counter that. 🙂

Before you go:

*Pick the event or events you're interested in attending, and join the Discord for those events. Observe for a while, then gradually jump in and join the various conversations going on. This is a GREAT way to get to know people, and hopefully make some friends in advance. It's a lot less daunting as a newbie if you already know people.

*Familiarize yourself with the event rules before you sign up. This is important to insuring a successful first gathering, and it will also go a long way towards helping you feel prepared.

*Look at what it's going to cost you, and plan accordingly with a cushion for unforseen expenses. (This is going to vary a lot based on how/how far you have to travel, whether you'll have roommates, etc.) You do not want to add financial stress to first-time gathering stress.

*This may sound weird, but do something to help you build confidence in yourself. The gym helps me a lot in that way, but the possibilities are endless. Learn a language, join your local Toastmasters group and work on your public speaking skills, etc. Just pick something that helps you feel more confident, and work on it.

Once you're there:

*The biggest thing standing between you and a great time is gonna be the door to your room. The urge to hide is gonna be strong, but you have to resist it. If you can force yourself to go out, mingle, and talk to a few strangers for 30-60 minutes, I pretty much guarantee you'll make friends. Once you know a few people, this stuff gets a LOT easier.

*Remember that we have these things for a reason. We've got a niche fetish that the general public doesn't understand. Most of us have felt like we had to hide it our whole lives. Well, at gatherings, you DON'T need to hide it - Nobody's there but us. If you feel shy or intimidated about talking with people, remember that you have something very important in common with literally everyone else there. 🙂

*Expectations are just a down payment on disappointment - Keep your expectations low, show up looking to make friends and integrate into the community. I get it: Everyone wants to play. But that may or may not happen your first time, and it definitely won't if that's all you're about the whole time. Just be chill and make friends, the rest will take care of itself. 🙂

*Try to anticipate things that will stress you, and counter them in advance. Examples: I feel weird if I don't smell like myself, so I bring all of my own toiletries instead of using hotel soap and shampoo. I'll sometimes have a bad morning where nothing I put on to wear "looks right," so I bring close to a month's worth of laundry in case I change shirts 5 times in the morning. Stuff like that.

Best of luck to you! Maybe we'll meet at one of these things sometime. 😁
