Hey guys, I need some help. A wile back I posted a thread about the fact that I have a foot tickling fetish and my girlfriend hates having her feet tickled.... here's the link:

http://www.ticklingforum.com/showth...-I-hate-my-feet-tickled&p=4131691#post4131691


Well it's been a wile now and aside from the 2 or 3 times she has let me tickle her, she usually gets angry when I try to do it or pulls her feet away. Now I'm not saying I want to tickle her all day, everyday (even though that would be awsome :) ) but once in a wile I want to. You fellow foot tickle fetish people know how it is to all the sudden one day you crave the need to tickle feet and im.blessed with a gorgeous girl with perfect feet. I used to just watch videos and such online but that doesn't work for me anymore. I don't want to watch anyone else. I want to see her smile and hear her laugh. I don't know what to do so please any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!
 
I would strongly recommend going to a marriage or sex counselor of some sort. Mostly, having someone you can talk with in person to work out hurdles would probably benefit you two the most.

If that isn’t an option I would fall back on finding a mutual friend you both know and trust very well, and if that’s not an option befriending someone on the TMF.
Mostly, I think that having another person to talk with, for both of you, in an open discussion would benefit the exchange a lot.

I am not a counselor, but I am going to offer my insights from here on:

First, it is clear to me that you both care about each other, and that you both value that you two care about each other. That is good.

I’m not sure why you (were?) hooked up on what your sexual interests were, or why revealing them to another was such an issue. To be fair, I think we’ve all been there, but my point here is that who you are is who you are, and who cares what other people think, you know? I have some slight concern that there’s a bit of self-acceptance issue(s) here with the male but I have a very limited understanding of both of you as individuals and the relationship as a whole. As such, and I should have said this earlier, feel free to disregard or correct me if I make a false assumption.

I have seen over the course of your threads the emphasis on feet. You enjoy tickling feet, she has pretty feet, she does not like having her feet tickled. I am curious as to how receptive she is to being tickled in other areas?

I do not have enough understanding of the situation, here, but I’m going to try to elaborate on what I think is happening. I do not know how you two interact when he is tickling her feet and I do not know the circumstances leading up to it. There is at least some indication in this post that there is, at least some, surprise tickling going on. People in other threads have mentioned taking it slowly and this seems counter to that, especially given she doesn’t enjoy it right now. I will elaborate on what other members have said: I recommend that the two of you talk about tickling her before it happens, every time. Be very, very clear as to what, when, how the tickling goes on. I would suggest talking about it, setting a time to perform the tickling, and being clear about the boundaries. In my mind I’m thinking, you know, some time after dinner, after she has had time to come home and relax, with the two of you on the couch and tickling her lightly for a few minutes, obviously respecting her telling you she needs a break or you’re tickling too much, whatever. Basically, communication, before and during.

I do want to say that, knowing she doesn’t like it but that she is also trying to work with you, surprise tickles are going to undo any progress you’ve made, at least in the early stages. Well, depending on their nature, anyway. It’s complicated and as I’m about to say:

I do not have enough of an idea of how you tickle her to really comment on how I would proceed. That is something I would need to be there for, honestly. I consider myself a skilled tickler, so maybe I could help if I saw how everything was going down, or at least provide insight? This, however, is why I would recommend a counselor, though, someone who is a paid professional and physically there to say, hey, you’re being a little rough. Of course a counselor won’t be a great tickler so you’re caught out in that regard. If you’re not already, I would recommend sticking to fingers, making sure your nails have been clipped recently, and using the tips of your fingers slowly and gently. Light tickling and hard tickling are not the same and I believe people tend to enjoy light tickling more, granted it isn’t the response a lot of ticklers are looking for, myself included. The most important thing, though, is that both of you are having fun: ideally you’re both laughing and having a good time. Anyway, starting slowly like this is my recommendation until tickling has grown on her.

My assumptions thus far are that tickling has remained an exclusive event between the two of you. I won’t talk in terrible detail here, but my experiences haven’t been so, hm, separate. I used to kiss a girl a lot while tickling her feet, or kiss her neck or play with her breasts, or a lot of other things. It probably won’t work well here, incorporating tickling into other sexual acts, as she doesn’t like having her feet tickled and that might sour the other events. On the other hand, I’ve had success mixing the two due to there being pleasure during the tickling. It doesn’t always work, but I think it’s worth considering.

I left the best for last, but: she doesn’t like having her feet tickled and I do not know why. What about having her feet tickled does she not like? What is she thinking when it is happening, and why does she find such distress in it? It is a difficult question to answer, why someone doesn’t like something, but I think it is something that she, and you, will have to understand fully in order to move on. Just keep thinking about it and finding what you don’t enjoy about it, and ask yourself why. Keep going further, asking why you don’t like that part of it, and so on, as best as you can. Typically I think it’s a control issue, though I am not assuming that is the case here. In the case of control as an example, though, what about the tickling would make her feel out of control, and why? Is it a lack of stopping what is going on with your body – usually not the case in a consensual setting, which is something that needs to be learned – or is it negative memories about not being in control in the past, or I don’t know I can’t think of a lot haha. Again, this is something I would have to speak with you two on a personal level about, in an actual conversation, which is why I would recommend a counselor. They should be much more skilled at this.

Thank you lots!!! Please anyone with experience in this or any advice at all please please share. I need help!!
 
Have you talked to her about it? Since she was the one who started the thread you mentioned, maybe you could have her hop on again and share her feelings about how things are going.
 
Also what wolf said. It has to be a continuous dialogue of is this ok, how are you feeling, why did this upset you, and so on. It will take a lot of work but (and maybe to her behest) I'm sure the two of you can turn her into a willing, laughing, screaming lee. It will take a lot of time and work, though.

Ah, forgot something in the main post but I'll put it here. If she says no (as in tickling right now), or stop, you do have to respect it. If she wasn't already aware she should realize that saying no is ok. Also being angry at you for invading her space without her permission is ok. Sorry if I pushed that hard, I'm working with a friend right now who isn't good at understanding her anger is something that is acceptable, and that being angry at people that are mean to her is an acceptable response.

ElFewja, first I want to thank you for taking the time to help me with my problem, You too Wolf!! As far as the counselor goes I never thought about that. Having a mediator who knows the foot tickling fetish lifestyle and knows where I'm coming from... I know we just met but would u maybe wanna consider being a mediator or something like that? If not I totally understand not wanting to get involved in other people's problems. Just a thought though.

My fetish has always been my deepest darkest secret and my current girlfriend is the only person I have told about it. I guess it boils down to the fact that I have a very very low self esteem as well as zero confidence but you know what, Your right!! I am who I am and I should accept it and be proud of it. Ever since I was real young and realized there was something about girls feet that made me feel a special way. My friends were looking at playboy and pornos and I was checking out and tryin to tickle girls feet so I always put it in my head that I was a freak.

As far as her being tickled in other areas, she HATES it. Her feet is the only think she used to "tolerate" but lately that ain't happening anymore.. and it sucks. I try to rub her feet for hour or two then try and throw a tickle in there and she just pulls away and gets mad after the 2nd time of me trying. I'm not into the hardcore bondage or anything like that. I just like holding her feet between my legs and goin to town on them but that is nomore. What your saying ELF is EXACTLY what I want. Both of us having fun doing it and laughing and smiling and just being perfect... but me trying these things I feel like have pushed the tickling thing away even more...

I tried to talk to her about what she hates about being tickled and why things changed and she said and I quote "Idk why it drives me crazy now. It annoys me like someone poking you over and over or a fly buzzing around in the room." She also said " idk how to explain it but that's the feeling I get when you tickle me" that hurt.

I have searched and searched and searched trying to find a way to get rid of my fetish or trying to get it out of my head but have had no luck.

It sounds like she just doesn't like it.
Why would you want to do something to your fiancee that she really doesn't like?
I would think the thought of her not liking it so strongly would be kind of a boner killer.
Basically, you're saying you want her to get over her likes and dislikes, and just like what you like? That's a difficult task.
 
Exactly. She is my soul mate and I have a love for her beyond anything I have ever felt but this one thing is killing me. She wishes she liked getting tickled and I wish I didn't have the fetish at all, but we can't change the way god made us. So idk what to do.
 
I'll send you my email after I write this.

Ah, no man. Feet are part of the body and I believe someone drew similarities between their appearance and the vagina? I forget. They're also up there, at 5 or 6, in most sensual parts of the body last I read. That's also been a while. So I don't think liking feet makes anyone a freak, and its a pretty common infatuation. Further, I think because feet are sometimes -- usually? -- sensitive and responsive to tickling that tickling them is a natural response. There's a reason a lot of people here have a foot fetish, or vice versa, I forget.

Ah, if you're rubbing her feet you really shouldn't tickle her out of the blue. It, hm. It's an emotional and physical shift, and one that usually isn't too appreciated.

If you want to separate yourself from your fetish, as hard as it sounds, you have to stop indulging. Not necessarily cold turkey, but cut it back. The more you think about it or actualize it, the stronger the desire will come, I think. I feel like I read that somewhere.

Also, her dislike for tickling is not an attack on you, it shouldn't hurt you. She's accommodating and trying to deal with something she doesn't like, but you do, you know?
 
Ok. Thank you so much for the advice man. I won't try tickling wile rubbing them anymore and as much as I hate to, I must slowly separate myself from this because the last thing I want to do is loose her over this dumb disease.

You are absolutely right too. It's not an attack on me... idk why I felt like it was.... She can't help that she dont like it just as I can't immediately change the fact that I like it. I can't thank you enough you guys for your advice. Really. It's helped me change my look on things.
 
Oh, man I was a little harsher than I meant to be.

So I've found more and more -- and I believe its a direct result of consumerism -- that people feel like the things they buy, or like, define them and that an attack on those things is a personal attack. Even being aware of it, I still fall prey to it pretty frequently. I get offended when someone doesn't like a show I like, haha, and this is way more personal so I get it. Don't beat yourself up over it.
 
Heres what you do, respect her wishes. Try communicating your needs. Then evaluate options.
 
You might have to make a difficult decision on whether or not you need to find someone who can/will accommodate you. It's not uncommon for older fetish people to say it's ruined decades-long relationships and they were still never indulged the way they wanted to be.

Those are two very good pieces of advice.
The only way to get what you want is to make it clear what you want; and you don't want to look back on 20 years of marriage and think how you could have been happy.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to do something she doesn't like, and there's nothing wrong with her not liking it. But both people should be able to be happy.
 
Maybe if you let her tickle you silly a few times she will start to understand the fun and be more willing.

I used to HATE getting my feet tickled and now its become a fetish of mine. It was just finding what I enjoyed. I haven't read all the other replies but the advise I would give is talk to her and she what she likes and can tolerate etc.
For me I love getting my feet rubbed and I have this little crease on the side of my feet and when someone touches it, it tickles but it also feels really good. I went from hating being tickled to asking for my BF to rub that spot on my feet because I really enjoy it and the light tickling. So I don't know if easing her into it is an option and finding a middle ground... But hopefully she is understanding to your needs and is willing to try and meet you somewhere in the middle with it.

If person #1 loves doing something to person #2 that person #2 hates, how is letting them do it "meeting in the middle"?

I didn't say just let him do it. I said to talk about it and see what she would be comfortable with etc. If they try 100 different things and there is nothing she can tolerate at least she tried. Its all about communication etc. I also said I didn't read all the replies so maybe this came up and they already tried and different things.

I kept scanning this thread to see something such as what Chicago said. This is very sound advice for you to start with. You respect her wishes as they currently stand above all else, while gently expressing your needs. You may find that one of the options you can both agree on is (for example) one day a week where you get 5-min of tickle play with her feet (always listening to her demands to stop however) and build on it from there.

Good Luck!
 
I understand you probably won't consider this a fair analogy so bear with me here, because I swear I'm not trying to mock you or give you a hard time. Okay...suppose your girlfriend was the one with a fetish.

"Ballbusting is a sexual fetish and subgenre of BDSM within which a man's testicles are abused"...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamakeri

If you were to read this...

"I have tamakeri and my boyfriend hates having his nuts crushed. Aside from the 2 or 3 times he has let me crush his balls, he usually gets angry when I try to do it or pulls away. Now I'm not saying I want to bust his nuts all day everyday (even though that would be awsome :) ) but once in a wile I want to. You fellow ballbusting fetish people know how it is to all the sudden one day you crave the need to crush someone's nuts...."

would you not clearly see how it is the person on the receiving end who HAS to be totally okay with this?

And yes, I acknowledge tickling is something lots of people enjoy, most of us were tickled when we were kids, even non tickle-fetishists partake, tickling is less harmful, it makes people laugh, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. I get it. But listen, you've recognized your girlfriend hates having her feet tickled. If you hated being touched in a certain way, and she knew that...would you not wonder why the heck she's just going ahead and doing it anyway? Of course she wishes she loves being tickled! It would be a different world if we could just wave a magic wand to make that so.

And let's say you were okay with her indulging her hypothetical fetish on you. That should be up to you. Don't you think? Not like some kind of 50/50 thing where her love of it carries as much weight as your hatred of it. One's doing it to someone, the other's having it done TO them.


I know the following advice will probably sound like a broken record...but you need to communicate your fetish with her. I don't know how clear she is about it. If she wants to try to like tickling, she totally can. I don't know if she's watched tickling videos, if you've shared what it is you love so much about tickling, if she would enjoy maybe feather-tickling but not fingernails, if she would be cool with you going to tickle gatherings (assuming you would want to) to indulge this fetish. For all you know, it'd be a load off for her and she'd tell you to go knock yourself out and have fun :p I don't know if you specifically would only want to tickle your significant other, or whether you can see yourself being with someone who hates tickling. Whatever the case may be, man, you need to show one another your cards. It may be tough, you may find out this is something you can't really reconcile, you might find something you both enjoy tickling-wise, but it's better to find these things out sooner before you wind up married and wondering why you're trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

This is the older post that the OP mentioned at the start of the thread:

Hello All,
I am new to this tickle fetish stuff and hope that some of you TMF vets can answer a couple questions for me. You see, my unbelievably amazing fiancé has a foot tickling fetish. In addition to being the love of my life and proved to me over and over and over again that he would sacrifice whatever he had to, whenever he had to, to make absolutely sure I was happy and taken care of. His selflessness amazes me and inspires me in so many ways. The fact that he has always been more than willing to sacrifice and give up anything and everything he had too for me because he loves me which only further proves it's time to take action and find answers to the questions I have had since I found out about his fetish 2 years ago. I was amazed that out of everyone else in the world he choose me to share his deepest darkest secret that he kept hidden for 24 years, and he only knew me for not even month. I was so surprised that he wanted to tell me. Granted it was over s text message but hey, It made me feel special lol. He told me he had something to tell me, he went to the bathroom and text me "I'm sorry to tell u like this but this is my deepest darkest secret, I know it's fuckin weird but I have a foot tickling fetish. I understand if u don't want to be with a freak" as I read it I was almost in disbelief that that was his deepest darkest secret. I waited for him to come back before answering him and as he walked in the room I could tell he was about to puke from nerves and had an absolute look of fear and terror on his face. After telling him I accepted it he could not believe it. It made me so mad that he really believed he was a freak and a weirdo. He didn't see the amazing man I saw and it was at that moment that I made it my goal to make him see the man I seen when I looked at him and prove to him that no matter what I had to do to show him he was never a freak and that I will love him unconditionally no matter what his fetish is. I want to love his fetish as well because it is a part of him but.... I hate being tickled on my feet. Sooo I was hoping y'all could help me achieve that goal and give me some tips on how to get over my childhood phobia of being tickled so that me and my fiancé can maybe find a way to make it where we both can enjoy it. Unfortunetly I don't have any fetishes or fantasys just so you know. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Please help me!!! Thank You!!!

P.s. This is his account and I have never been on here so I hope I did it right!!!

So, apparently, the big conversation took place about 6 months ago, and it looks like things aren't working out. I'm not sure how much clearer he could have been.
 
Heres what you do, respect her wishes. Try communicating your needs. Then evaluate options.

Sounds like he's more on the path to the typical breakup. It's established she doesn't like it. So post on a forum to convince her to like it? ?

Dunno if that's established. I would imagine its worth a try to make things work which is why he was asking for advice
