A question, my friends.

[Amanda]

I've come to a question due to experience...

Is a possible "symptom" of a tickling interest ignoring it? In other words, when it comes up, the person pretends to be interested in something else, and never participates in the tickling?

I think this because they are shy and afraid that if they do, their interest will be discovered. I think I use to be that way. So any ideas are welcome.

Yeah, I'm embarrased to admit I often do that. Especially when around people who either don't know, or who do know but I'm uncomfortable with them having the knowledge and I don't want them to make a topic of it.

I will admit, i act like its another word, that it means nothing, like most other people and i'm ashamed that i do.. But one big reason i do it is because it has such a power for hold on me its like kryptonite.. I almost look past everything else about a girl if tickling is a big factor involve.. If the wrong people knew that information.. I don't know if any of that makes any sense.. Tickle talk gets my brain all twisted around..

I know I'm conscious of it, and have probably overcompensated (to the point of showing disinterest) in the past. Nowadays, I just try to stay on the same "level" as the people around me - so now if there's an innocent tickle-fight going on, I don't mind joining in. :devil: I guess I just realized that doing so wasn't likely to "give me away," as long as my interest didn't appear "excessive." ;)

Amanda, I believe that nearly everyone on here has gone thru the same or very similar feelings. It is something that you will work out in a maner that lets you be confortable and also be a part of the activity, like what LindyHopper said. It just takes time, unfortunately.

I used to be that way years ago, but now, I actually initiate conversations about tickling and will even start ticke fights or use tickling as a way of playful teasing. This way, I can see who is trying to ignore it, and then I'll know that THEY like it. BWAAHAHAHHA! My evil plan comes together! :evilha:

rats..why can't more be like you? i like your plan.. :bowing:

[Amanda]

Wow, with all these responses, i think there is a tickle-interested suspect, one of my close friends.

Or i could be imagining it.
But she does seem to get jealous when someone else is tickled...
again, it could be in my mind.

I don't think you have to worry too much about inadvertently revealing your fetish by participating in casual tickling amongst friends. My wife has a tickle fetish, and I didn't even know such a thing existed until she introduced me to her fetish. Perhaps I am more dense than most vanilla people, but it just had never crossed my mind before that people might get aroused specifically by tickling.

My wife and I hang with social dancers a lot, amongst whom casual physical contact is an accepted part of the community, and casual tickling certainly happens from time to time. But even now, I don't think I could identify any of our dancing friends as having a tickle fetish or not, just based on how they react to the occational tickling around them.
