I've been doing some research on this. And I still can't tell if I have a Fetish or Paraphilia when it comes to Tickling.
It SEEMS like Fetishism falls UNDER Paraphilia? At least that's what I'm reading. (In SOME articles. Not all.)
Having a Paraphilia makes it seem that one is dangerous to others. (Like beastiality -and pedophiles are consistently brought up which disgusts me to have to be under the same broad definition i.e Paraphilia.) But there is a list of Paraphilias and both Pternophile (Arousal by being tickled by feathers.) And Geniophile (Aroused by seeing people laugh, or by laughter.) make the list found here: https://healthtian.com/list-of-paraphilias/
(Idk if this is taken from the recent DSM manuel. Also I am seeing fetishes I have never heard of before. This is quite a list. lol Who knew there was a fetish for chins?)
I'm just a little confused.
Also: I would say I definetly am a Geniophile and Pternophile. How many different "philes" are there that surround Tickling? Does anyone have a definitive list? I'd love to see how many relate to me. (And for others to see in relation to themselves.)
