Hi, OP here.
I LOVE that the responses I got to this are basically split right down the middle with some totally relating to "that feeling" and some saying that "bucket lists" are great, as long as the tease is good. (And yes, good writing & execution is
always the most important factor!) (And actually, I didn't know that they were even
called "bucket lists!" So... learn something new every day!

)
And really, iin spite of my post (which was meant in good humor) I think it's AWESOME that there is such a diversity of material here, in terms of fetishes, toys, etc... I LOVE that. Different Strokes and to each his own and all. It's ALL good.
Sadly, while I have SOME stuff, I guess I'm just not much of a "toy guy," at least in terms of most "bucket lists," and I'm sure I've missed out of some really good stuff because of it. Thankfully?
No shortage of teases out there for folks like me as well!
I hope that no one took my post as a COMPLAINT, because seriously: Even if you've only ever written one tease and everybody said it was awful? YOU ARE STILL AWESOME, AND I GUARANTEE YOU
SOMEONE APPRECIATED YOU EFFORT!
SO keep 'em coming! (And, uh... try to keep US from... AH, never mind!)
