1. This is an important video. It's about boundaries.

My former mother in law was very bossy. She was tickling my husband and wanted me to join in. I said firmly, "No, I won't join you. Tickling people is sadistic and cruel." My husband and I were both in college. Young adults.

I have been subjected to the dissing of my perceptions, forced to kiss old people and other things like she was talking about in the video.

I think serious ticklers are closet sadists. Same as bullies who pick on people and say "Can't you take a joke?" or "I was only kidding" when they were being cruel, as a cover-up for their sadistic behavior.
