So, I believe it’s about time for another journal entry, this time with a little more spice and vigor than the last one. Since it appears I’m only going to be posting a journal every month or so, I’d better make them a little more interesting and enlightening than a “still around and not dead” alert.

So first, the bad news. Due to various complications, mostly resulting from being unable to find a decent credit card service that will handle *cough* sensitive materials, the new comics are delayed until further notice. Both Cheshire and I send out our regrets and hope that the day will soon arise when Featherpen Publishing makes its big debut.

Next, let me formally and publicly thank the wonderful for her amazing artwork featured on this site. Four truly amazing commissions of yours truly, mostly tickling the daylights out of a various number of cast characters. A thousand thank-yous, Kate, for the jaw-dropping work.

Speaking of art, I am pleased to present to you some amazing profile images drawn for me by the incredible The one of my fursona has already been shown her, but now comes with a complete written profile. The other two, are never before seen drawing of my two favorite characters from the series, Madira and Doll, along with new written profiles. A hearty round of applause for Cheshire!

And, lastly, I’ve decided to start doing my tickling monologues again, in an attempt to both connect with my inner tickler and to open up a line of discussion with other tickle lovers out there. So, without further ado…

Tickling Monologue
(Warning: Some explicit and mature verbal content. If you think you might be offended, please don’t read it.)

One of the things that has always amazed me about my tickling fetish is how it evolves and goes over time. While I do believe that a love for tickling is hardwired into my brain, exactly how it presents itself changes and grows over time. For instance, when I was younger, I refused to look at any image displaying bare breasts, because I found them unattractive. Now, breasts are one of my favorite tickle spots.

But, this latest evolution is oddly enough, a throwback to my younger years. As an adolescent, I was always more interested in the idea of a boy, about my own age, getting tickled by a mob of tickle-crazed girls. I had numerous fantasies of that, mostly involving a kid who looked like Zak from the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tickling scene getting chased down and tickled all over by a hoard of Disney’s Jasmine clones. However, as I grew older and became more interested in girls sexually, I lost those old dreams and moved on to scenes involving young ladies getting tickled in all sorts of ways.

I think, part of it for me, is that I’m not attracted to guys in real life and most of the tickling art drawn of guys is of big, burly manly men with lots of hair and muscles getting tickled, and to be honest, that doesn’t really interest me.

However, I’ve recently gotten back into the idea of very cute, attractive guys being tickled. I thank and his cute lovable tickle characters for getting me interested once again in tickling guys. As with many of my tickling desires, there are a few things that must be present or are preferred for male tickling.

The first is, it must be art. I’m still not attracted to real live men, no matter their appearance. I’ve experimented with real life tickling images of guys, and they just don’t do anything for me.

Second, the guy has to be bishi. For those of you who aren’t fluent in animese, I’ll provide a few examples of bishi guys.

The first is Michio-chan’s avatar, seen being tickled here: [link]

Another good example is the adorable Jackie Helex, by , seen here: [link]

And the final example, Travis (the one on the right) by the amazing , seen here: [link]

To sum up, pretty boys.

Third, I much prefer for the tickling to be F/M. Something about a dominant female mercilessly tickling a captive male is really enjoyable for me. While there are some exceptions, (see most of Michio-chan’s gallery), I usually prefer to have it be girls tickling guys.

And fourth, even more than with female tickling, I prefer to have my male tickling be of a sexual nature. While actual sex doesn’t have to occur, I do enjoy it more when a guy is being tickled on his private parts. It probably has something to do with the fact that I am a guy. (shrugs)

Those, those are my thoughts on /M tickling. What are your opinions?

Until next time, keep smiling and keep tickling!
