mhm...I used to have those dreams where classmates/people I saw on a daily basis would tickle me in my dreams...I usually felt really awkward around the person if they were in my dream doing so.
My roommate tickles me often...but she hates being tickled. Often she'll poke me with her foot and I'll grab it and tickle her...she'll say 'no!' and pull her foot away...but then a minute later continue to poke me with her foot. I told her once that she should stop putting her foot near me if...
if I do, I mention it in a playful way...like as a quirky side note..that I like being tickled/don't mind being tickled. Mentioning Tickling as a turn on would be after I got to know the person better.
We're not together now...but I met mine online..and she lived in the area. We dated, and She was not into tickling, but when I told her I was she was all for indulging :)
There's a saying that 95% of the time a tickle fight ends in sex....but that depends on the couple. I'm always in the mood for sex after tickling, but some may be irritated and turned off...
