Life Imitating Art?

[TarnishedPenny]

I find this so very cool!

I did a light and easy fetish story centred on tickle torment a while back, Just Say Their Names. In it, one character had invented a new kind of tickle machine, a device he used to tickle another.

To my amazement, a recent comment on the story links to a discussion on Reddit about how to properly build them and citing my story as inspiration.

Aww. I feel like a new parent.

Quick, find a patent lawyer, do sketches!

That’s ridiculously awesome.

 

[BelleCanzuto]

That's cool.
Though, I hate being tickled, so that really would be torture for me.

Side note. TP, have you seen Tickled or The Tickle King?

 

[TarnishedPenny]

No, I have not. Research obviously needed. Thanks.

So... Inquiring plot bunnies need to know.

If someone who enjoys BDSM, but doesn't like being tickled, is tickled, is the tickler considered a sadist?

Then, is the ticklee really enjoying the torture of the tickle because they enjoy the feeing of helplessness, even though they don't like being tickled?

My logical side had just melted. I think I'll get a coffee...

At least one has been patented -- Device and method for tickling human body -- but there's always room for improvement. Or just train a cat.

I've seen some sort of machines on various porn channels;
The ladies receiving the tickle were not laughing, though.
