I think trembling is something I'd probably be into... not totally sure, but the thought of feeling a guy tremble as I hugged him does sound pretty sexy in theory.  But I am much more into the sounds of trembling (like the shaky voice) than the sights of trembling.  The hand in that clip didn't really do anything for me.  Shaky voices and shaky breaths, though, seem to work wonders on me.  But yeah, shaking in general does show a lack of control, which is something I've always said I liked about crying (the loss of control = sexy).

Interesting topic!

I LOVE trembling shoulders. Arms and hands not as much, though I suppose they're a nice add-on, and trembling lips sometimes squick me out.

Interesting answers. It's a shame most of our reactions to a lot of the things discussed on here are theoretical - there seems to be not enough actual crying in our lives, guys! I like to add elements to my ideal crying fantasy, and finding a new one adds that extra little bit of excitement for me - the voice cracking, the eyes filling, the wobbling lower lip, the first single tear, the sudden bursting into sobs, the crying into my shoulder, and now the trembling hand holding a tissue. Ooh...

P.S. I agree, 'squick' is a great word

I really look forward to the day someone who doesn't get many crying observations (or a young person who gets their very first meaningful experience) posts an observation.  Even if it's not me.  I just want to jump up and down and celebrate with them after them wanting it and fantasizing about it so long and waiting for their chance!  Maybe it will be you, lemoniep.   I've been in 5-year drought, punctuated only by a groom's wedding cry (at a distance, so didn't really see much in terms of detail), and what was presumably a goodbye cry by someone I wasn't the least bit attracted to at a bus terminal (also at somewhat of a distance as well).  However, I did have a couple of near misses with one sweet (deep down, that is) and attractive looking guy as I tried to get him to open up to me, which was exciting in its own way.  Blew it, though, and as a result, I know he'll never open up to me now.   Too bad, because I really think I could have helped him and been good for him as a friend/confidant.  As a last resort, I even told him about my fetish, but nope, didn't make a difference... probably just scared him off completely.  But the good news is that I completely moved on after that and never even think about that stuff anymore.  Wow, what a different (and crazy) person I was back then!!   I've got much better things to do with my life than chase other people's tears.  It must have been a real low in my life that I was that desperate.  Ugh, I can barely even think about it now.  If people want your help, they will come to YOU anyway.

Anyway, not to end this post on a downer!  Let's hope someone gets an unexpected observation one of these days and that it's even better than they had imagined!!!
