How to provide safe, sweet, erotic stimulus using fingers, feathers, fabrics and other easy-to-obtain household items. This is a sexy, informative overview of an often-misunderstood form of erotic foreplay. From sweet teasing to writhing paroxyms, from giggles to shreiks, erotic tickling offers a spicy fillip to anyone's sensual life and a powerful source of erotic overdrive for the adventurous. Extensively, erotically and tastefully illustrated.
Erotic Tickling is in fact, the only book of its kind. Devoted to tickling and nothing else, it is unique in the fetish world and for this reason alone it is a must read for any one who knows nothing about tickling and wants to learn. I have heard of plenty of fetishes (mucophagists suck the snot out of their partners noses during sex) but tickling never seemed to be more to me than foreplay, means to a beginning rather than an end. Michael Moran proposes tickling alone can be as erotic and orgasmic as any other fetish and vanilla sex. And I believe him. This book has shed new light on an act that to many is best left in childhood, or only useful to get a shy girl in bed.
It is tasteful, though, to a fault. This is a book that I wouldn't hide if my Granny came to visit. But, shouldn't it be? It is as erotic as Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, which is sad because it offers more information about tickling than can be found with any web search or hours of exhaustive research. Michael Moran had the opportunity to not only create something original but also trouser soakingly naughty. There is so little Tickling media available. Most of what ticklers can find is overshadowed by bondage and foot fetishism and isn't made by those who seriously enjoy this art of erotic release.
Erotic Tickling was supposed to be extensively, tastefully and erotically illustrated by Chris M. This was one of the real moments where the book should shine but doesn't. There aren't many illustrations to begin, they are all black and white, pencil, and look more like a naughty Mexican comic book renderings than any of the erotic artwork available today. It was the illustrations that I was most disappointed with, as they made it harder to get revved up about this book.
Not long after reading did I discover a very real tickler of my own. I recommended Erotic Tickling, not because it's incredible but because it's the best beginning instruction to be found, in one source, for the ticklish. It's not an awful book, but seems like it was written to be more appetizing to the average, palatable to the plain, when it could have been glorious. It did pique my interest enough for me to entertain the idea of being tickled and so for that Michael Moran has at least won over another experimenter.
