I can do my best but some of he early years are hazy... So I've always been insanely ticklish, I hated it as a kid because I'd feel so powerless being tickled.
It continued like that for awhile, but I was cute with a super high pitched Mickey mouse voice so I attracted a lot of tickling haha
Over the years as I grew older, I think something broke. My brain decided to withdraw from the torment and somehow twisted it to thinking "they can't tickle torture me if I like it" so after that point it became something I told myself I desired, and I repeated the sort of mantra it twisted into a fetish, especially in high school, all my flirtations were tickling, I remember one girl in math class, the class would go on a break and I'd say behind tickling her feet the whole time. I think she liked it and liked me so she went along with it haha
Anyway, as I grew older and my mind became more damaged from physical and personal attacks to the point where I saw the potential for hostility everywhere and basically kept what my parents called my "serial killer face" (it was basically asshole resting face times 1000) and so I was left with books and imagination, every fantasy turned to tickling and I reinforced the fetish so much...
Its only fairly recently that I've started to let myself heal. It was the death of my mother after ten years of fighting cancer that did it, sort of overflowed my "vault where all the negativity went" I had an asexual spell among other things like intense anxiety and fear, but as I started to force myself to deal with it, it's also reconnected me to my empathic side. I was suuuuper conntected to the feelings of others as a kid, part of why their attacks hurt so much, but the strawberry moon eclipse triggered such a massive funk, and quite by chance a friend who was an empath clued me into the possibility. As I've reconnected to that side of myself and healed, I find that sexual desire has become more rare in general and it's not connected to tickling.
I've come around now to where I just crave the endorphins and relaxation of hysterical laughter and the empathic joy of reducing a Lee to those same hysterics... Sorry if it's super rambly, but there it is haha
