About this website
What's a TM?
We use it 'round here to stand for Tickle Monster - a nonhuman (or magical) tickler of
adults* -
visible or not, terrestrial or not, "believable"... or not. "Paranormal."
Inanimate objects that up and tickle people are included, too.
* - The only exception is for an alien-TM story writer, because I didn't notice (for a couple of years) that his great episodes feature teenage victims. That loophole is now closed.
In a few other episodes, teenagers getting tickled is implied but not described.
Thank you, all you great authors and artists who have permitted your work to be included here!
TMZ first came into existence in the spring of 1997, went away for a while and came back. Big thanks are given to asstr-mirror.org. If you appreciate what they do, send in a donation (and yeah, they already got two from me).

No big kick in the ass this time. Humble pie, for me...
After 31 years, this professional writer found out something embarrassing this week. I always thought the word "instep" referred to the sole of the foot! The arch. That fun center part.
Turns out, uh, that the instep is the "top side" of the foot, the convex bulge between the ankle and the toes. (I include this definition only for those who are not fluent in English... which might include me, as it turns out.)
If you've ever read a story here and wondered why the action suddenly flipped from the top of the victim's feet to the bottom, there's your explanation. An ignorant writer. Before some of these TM types decide to haul me off for remedial language lessons, I went through the website and reviewed each use of "instep" (because I'm a freak, that's why, and sometimes a perfectionist). If anything else wrong jumped out at me, I fixed it. Lots of episodes have been updated, and I still would like to clean up the earliest episodes I wrote. Someday.
My apologies to you all.
Maybe I'll add the usual call for input. If you like something, let me know. Does some episode seem totally confusing? Let me know. Many episodes of mine were the result of trading e-mail or IM chat with somebody... And you can use the response form on the bottom of the newest episodes to send me e-mail anonymously. How cool is that?

Yeah, I know, shut the fuck up already. So much for the 'last word'. And this rant may not sit too well.
Got an e-mail informing me how 'sick' I am. Twisted. Not long after, I was trolling around another story site I like, looking at the new stories involving "hypnosis"... so-called...
You've seen the same kinda stories. A good friend or a relative becomes a sex slave. Well, huh. I'm not wagging my finger at anybody else's right to fantasize. But I've thought about this, and I'm going to say it. Especially to those who'd criticize me.
I've seen obscenity on the web. I recognize it now. It's the concept of gaining control over someone by playing on a high, preexisting level of trust. The hunter, taking advantage of the object of desire, by exploiting their belief that they'll be safe in the presence of the hunter. That the hunter would never make them do things they don't want to do.
And believe me, I understand. The power of attraction, of imagining a dream coming true... of "magic" being an easy method to accomplish it. But damn. Getting what's desired by "hypnotizing" those that have relaxed enough to not fear the source of the danger? Reducing them to robots - where respect used to be shared? Is that the best we can come up with?
I don't even wanna fantasize about degrading anybody that much. You will find much degradation on this website - but none of it by the unwitting manipulation of folks by people who had been given the high honor, even the ability, to betray and debase. I'll take the inhuman torturer over the intimacy-trashing torturer, any day of the week.
If you ever wonder, in your secret thoughts, why the plain-vanilla citizens hate nonconsentual smut so much - when you get such a charge out of it - maybe it's the dark "means" that are often used to get to the fantasy "end". Please work a little harder, instead of having your fictional (I seriously hope!) protagonist have their way with people deeply in their trust. I would not be ashamed of one of my kids becoming a man who enjoys BD/SM, but I very much hope he won't take the hideous shortcut of even dreaming about tricking his adoring cousins, or his lifelong buddy down the street, into play they never suspected he'd force upon them.
I know, I know. I'm as much as saying it's not repugnant (and then, only in fiction) when the victim is an attractive stranger or a willing participant. Or a common guy in the crosshairs of an overpowering, nonhuman (and therefore untrusted) TM.
If you think that's just so much horseshit, let's talk.

A parting shot... (and it might really be the last word, this time. Who knows. I didn't plan on this update.) for those who find all this TMZ shit too absurd. Preposterous. Advanact has a wake-up call for ya. It's called virtual reality.
It may not be all over TV and movie screens anymore (or, at the moment) but VR geeks are quietly at work improving their craft... at the same time neurologists are getting better at fooling the brain - sensations, stimuli, textures. (Is it really happening to you, or not? If you can't tell, does it even matter?)
And physicists are tinkering with localized fluctuations in gravity and air density. Pressure from light waves. This is external phenomena, not just inside your head. Actually... happening.
(What would be the diagnosis... in, oh, 1761... if you told your best buddy you'd been "set upon" by magical feathers? Held down by unseen hands?
How about 1961?
1971?
Sooooo... what will the young turks of 2011 - my own boys - make of a wild story like that?)
Soon - if we dodge a couple bullets that could derail the certainty of this future - very soon now...
Your "holodeck" or "simstim deck" will be waiting. And - uh-oh... Us 'bottoms' are in for a surprise. Ain't we though. No doorknob on our side of the door. The on/off switch is superglued 'on'. Once it starts, we won't get to say when it's over.
Let's just hope it isn't an AI/expert system/fuzzy logic virus in our Palm-phone that catches us off-guard... or makes us drive ourselves out to some cozy, quiet solar-powered cell in the wilderness. Or, gulp, a TM that's... not coded by humans.
