So,do you think ticklishness is something we take from our parents??What about tickle fetish?Is there any chance our parents love tickling too???
 
Definitely not. Our sexuality is not genetic whatsoever.
 
I always thought there was some genetic link to the sensitivity issue. No conclusive proof, though.
 
I believe that it is inherited. My parents tickled me and I tickled them.
 
Mine didn't. If sexual preferrences were inheritable, where do homosexuals come from?
 
Some how I doubt very much the existance of a tickle gene that you describe. There would be a lot more of us if there were!!! :confused:
 
The ticklishness I feel is inherited, it becomes a sexual matter after a person enters puberty

Ticklishness can change during life. It is not inherited, it is not a thing that is set in stone like eye color. Everybody can get desensitized if they really want to. Walk around without shoes the whole summer and then try if your feet are still ticklish!

And it does not become a sexual matter after a person enters puberty. To me it already was a sexual matter when I was 4 years old!

Same for me too. It certainly wasn't a sexual thing for me at all when I was a kid but rather just a fun silly way to have fun. I know for some people perhaps it WAS sexual for them at an early age but it certainly wasn't for me. As for if ticklishness being a predisposed issue, hey, maybe it is? A lot of things we have as traits whether it's mental or physical have been passed down from previous generations so why not something like how ticklish we are? Perhaps in some cases this IS the truth? I'm certainly open-minded enough to believe that it could be? :shrug:
 
My mom hates being tickled. My dad clearly enjoys it. I believe he may be like me. Did I get it from him? Who can say?
 
I'm just a dumb ol' country boy, but I think they come from behind..............

maybe you figured this out down the road, i'm not reading all the posts... and i don't think it's genetic but i thought i'd point out he said ticklishness, not tickle fetish, he was asking if people thought being ticklish was genetic, not being turned on by it :p
 
And if you read all the posts you'd know that I said ticklishness can change down the road of your life...it is not a set-in-stone-thing like eye color! So I don't think it's genetic, especially since self-control is a big part of being ticklish as well. A lot of psychology comes into the picture.

yeah i know i agree with that which is why i said it's not genetic, but your first post mentioned the sexual stuff lol...
 
when i was a kid i hated tickling because my dad was always, always tickling my mom. and my grandfather (my dad's dad) helped him many, many times. it seemed like they tickled her pretty much daily. not just brief tickling, holding her down in the floor and tickling her for long periods of time. i hated tickling then, it wasn't til i was a teenager that i started to enjoy it. now, i have a teenage son, and when his girlfriend is over, i often hear him tickling her in his room. i have also seen a couple of tickling pics on his computer. so maybe for some it is inherited, and some it isn't. maybe those of you that say your parents arent into it, maybe they did a good job of keeping it a secret, like i tried to keep it a secret from my kids. when my kids were little, i didn't tickle my wife much when they were around. i don't think they have any idea about my fetish. maybe you just don't know about your parent's fetish.

Nah. Mom hates tickling. And I found my dad's porn when I was 14, no tickling stuff. :)

I've heard a lot of people who say that being ticklish is partially psychological. Would you mind explaining how this is so? I find this very fascinating, to say the least. :wow:

As for me, my mother use to be very ticklish when younger, but she hated it. She lost her ticklishness in her teens and still isn't ticklish. She was never into it. I can't say I know anything about my biological father, however, because I never got to know him personally. He was in prison for the majority of my life, and based on the reasons for him being there, I'd rather not try to get to know him personally, either. :disgust:

I believe that - IF ticklishness is genetic, which I am not sure whether or not it is - I take after my grandmother. She's very ticklish, and I'm sure she may still be. (I wouldn't know/try it thought! She hates it! AND has a violent streak! One would most likely get hit.) Hell, I'm more like my grandmother than my mother, naturally. I take after her in the foods that she likes. I take after a little bit of her personality. I take after her ability to be very cutting in my writing. (I'm not too good with verbal communication, but when it comes to writing, I've wiped the floor with some people, and my grandmother is the same way.) I'm almost nothing like my mother. I'm like ... part of my grandmother and part of my father (or so my mother has told me, AND held against me). :disgust:

I'm 19 now and still very, very ticklish. So much so to where I'm not - neurologically - sure how to handle it sometimes. But then again, I do have an sensory processing disorder, and I don't personally know of anyone in my family who would have it. All the people in my family that I do know are all neurotypicals, and being a non-NT can - in my experience - drastically effect ticklishness.

I am not a psychologist, so I do not know all that much about it, but I guess with willpower you can suppress a great deal of reaction. It depends who tickles you. I myself am not sure if it actually applies to what you feel or just how you react to it.
 
I didn't inherit any of the fetish from my parents. If anything I was tickled less as a child than most other children my age, so there was absolutely no explanation for my utter fascination with it.
