It all started when I was about 6 and my 13 year old brother tossed me on the bed, held me down and tickled my tummy unmercifully until I truly felt I was in danger of losing my mind. There finally came a brief pause, but I could feel his fingers starting up again and I knew I would be toast, so when I started crying, he finally let me go.
This episode was life altering in 2 ways. First, it created a deep, humiliating secret and second, I wanted to experience that out of control, agonizingly ticklish sensation again! Just not from my brother or any other family member. That same night, I used the arm of my stuffed bear to try and re-create it, but as everyone knows, it’s impossible to tickle ourselves. Looking back, I believe there was a bit of PTSD involved, because I re-lived that same episode many times a day for years, along with my new fantasy of being restrained and tickled senseless.
Then, at long last, the internet arrived. I remember putting the word “tickling” in a search of some kind on Compu-Serve and suddenly, the whole world opened up. I literally couldn’t eat or sleep for about 2 weeks as I found more and more like-minded people. I started posting, wrote stories and made a lot of friends. I met a few of my friends in real life and had some amazing tickling adventures along the way.
I was never very much into chat rooms, but I occasionally wandered in to check them out, and in 1997 I met a special guy. He turned out to live in the same state and was around the same age, so we struck up a private conversation that eventually turned into friendship and ultimately marriage in 2005. This guy is the best friend I ever had, the best traveling companion, the most honest, generous man in the world and a great tickle partner.
A series of events including illness and several deaths in the family, a couple of moves and other life events put tickling onto the back burner for quite awhile, but lately interest in all things tickling is surging again. We had an old, tattered bondage sheet that no longer fit the bed and was thrown out a few years ago, but last month I replaced it as a birthday gift for my husband. It’s one of those Velcro sheets and the wrist/ankle restraints are very powerful! By nature, my husband and I are both pure lee’s, but I still don’t have that much endurance so I’ve become a pretty good ler over the years.
By the way, we are 58 and 60 years old, and I believe we are as ticklish today as we ever were, and when we’re playing, age doesn’t mean a thing.
I’m not looking for a tickling partner, but new friendships are always welcome. I hope to do more posting and get to know a few of you in the bargain. Thanks for listening!
