Is it weird to think about tickling all day, and all night?

[PiperGK1]

I think about tickling constantly. I don't mean, I like it from time to time. I mean, I think about it constantly. I know I have an obsessive personality, but this is just something I've dealt with for 40 years. I'm 43. I'm not supposed to have issues I haven't solved already, am I?

It's not a problem. I mean, the fetish and delight for tickling, is not a problem, it's something that many people have. We're just a minority.

But, the nighttime, it's the worst for me. I try to go to sleep, and I'm thinking about tickling someone. I then tickle them in my "fantasy," and it still doesn't go away. I tickle one woman, then another woman, then some celebrity.....

It drives me insane. I'm sorry, I just had to say it somewhere, somehow.

If it's only in nighttime, I don't think it's that much of a problem. I believe we all have to think about something before falling asleep. Instead of counting sheep, you're just counting feathers. ^^

If however you are constantly daydreaming about it and it interferes with your life, then it is a serious problem and you should seek some help.

I think you might need to seek help if it's all you can think about. At that point it's not a fetish or a quirk, it's an obsession, and that's never good.

That's rough man. I kind of understand what you deal with but haven't experienced it with such intensity. Not sure if this helps or if it is a similar description to what you're dealing with but it might help you search for things or figure stuff out. Helped me, anyway. I've had obsessive thought patterns and issues with it and counseling was a big help.

Anyway, there's a link to what started me into going into counseling. No shame in counseling dude. We're all messed up in different ways. If you're not who you want to be, then look into it. ;-)

I dont think its a problem unless it starts to bring you down and make you feel depressed or anxious.

Since you mention you have an obsessive personality I think this is adding to the intensity of how you are feeling, and for that, there is only one solution. Since you live in Chicago I know for a fact that the scene there is a large one. Try posting in the personals on here, and if that doesnt work out, I can give you some links to ads where women are willing to be tickled for a fee. It would cost you in the 200-300 dollar range, but trust me once you go through with it im sure it will help a great deal. PM me if you would like me to give you the links. But there is nothing wrong with what you are feeling or experiencing.

If thinking aboot Tickling all Freaking day is a bad thing then somebody put me in an institute or something because if thats the case then i'm much worse and i'm only 20!
I'm Mega Obsessed with Tickling mainly cause i've yet to Truly Experience Tickling Someone or being Tickled!

Right. It's only a problem if it causes you or someone else harm. Harm can mean mental anguish or interfering with your ability to function in your life. Beyond that, there really isn't an agreed upon amount of time that would be too much.

You asked if it's "weird" which may suggest that you're comparing yourself to others and perhaps feeling shame about it. I think counseling is a great suggestion. If nothing else you go for a few sessions and get an idea of whether it's a problem or not. You may discover that you have some work to do or you may discover that there isn't a problem and you walk away feeling ok with your thoughts. You win either way.

If you do choose to go to counseling, I would suggest finding an AASECT certified professional. www.aasect.org.

I don't think it's an issue until the women in your dreams turn you down.

All day and night sounds like an obsession to me too. The above suggestion about local personal ads or even renting women to tickle sounds like a good idea. Getting some hands on experience tends to cool the fires a bit, and transports you to a world of bliss for a couple of days afterwards.

I'm not one to start calling others weird, but it's the kind of thing you should try to compartmentalize. I'll admit I think about tickling a lot myself. I spend a good amount of free time watching tickle porn or reading tickle stories but when it comes time to focus on work, or various everyday activities I'm able to put tickling far out of my mind and get done what I need to.

Tickling is a great fetish. Porn and sex are great too. But in my opinion none of them should be holding you back socially or professionally. If that were the case for me I'd consider seeking professional help, which their is no shame in doing. I've been to therapy myself for other reasons and found it to be very helpful. I wish you the best whatever you decide to do

I think the moment it quits becoming simply, "a fetish" is the moment you should get help.
