Do you openly talk about tickling with family,friends,co-workers or others
 
With most of my friends: Yes.
With family: No, they have no need to know. No more than I need to know if my brother and sister-in-law prefer the missionary position or the cowgirl position.
With coworkers: No, they have no need to know. No more than I need to know if my boss and her husband prefer the missionary position or the cowgirl position.
 
Nobody. Ever. There's far too many creepy people with this fetish who constantly plaster tickling or foot fetish related questions all over social media these days. I really don't want to be lumped in the wierdo category with the people who give this fetish a bad name so nope I'll never share it with anyone!
 
Nah. Or about politics or religion, mostly. I like to keep things agreeable.
 
Only with friends from here and people I date really.

Coworkers, really? That's a quick way to lose your job or be labelled the office weirdo.
 
Lovers and slaves only. Decorum for the rest.
 
I don't generally bring it up. But I've participated in many discussions about it. I never use the word "fetish." I just say that I like it, and if asked why, I tell them that it releases endorphins, relieves stress and tension, and also counteracts depression.
 
Only with people I intend to do it with. Other friends know, but I've never really had in depth conversations about it with them.

Family doesn't need to know about my kinks. That's weird shit right there.
 
this question comes up in various forms on this forum on a fairly regular basis. We who love this preference often come close to making mountains out of molehills and treating tickling as if it was some rare area of human behavior divorced from other things.

If tickling is key to your sexual kicks, this falls in the same category as any other realm of intimate behavior. Do you talk to others about preferences in kissing or intercourse positions or wax rhapsodic about licking knees or whatever else may be in your intimacy closet? Some people love to let it all out and tell to titillate or shock or whatever but most probably don't talk about sexual intimacy with Mom, Dad, sister Sue and Uncle Henry or the guy in the cubicle next to yours or the girl who sits behind you in the econ class. Come on, common sense boys and girls.

And if tickling is just something you gotta do and sex and getting all turned on has nothing to do with it then you are just like those irritating people who talk on endlessly about their kids or their vacation or their hobby collecting bottle caps as if this thing that so captivates them Must be of great interest to friends and family as well. Give it a rest!

And if tickling is just "eh, whatevah" to you then you probably never mention it except once in a blue moon and are only on this site reading this stuff because you are incredibly bored right now.

And that is precisely why sites like this exist, so the lovers of tickle time can come here and read and share and chat endlessly about it with people who likewise share delight in it. It is no big deal. Mountains out of mole hills. Let common sense prevail.

only girlfriends at most. Who else really needs to know about your fetish. I never ask them what they like so why would I care to tell them mine.lol.
 
With whoever I talk about sex, I also talk about tickling. People I am not close enough to talk about sex with will also not hear anything about tickling. I for example see no need to have my co-workers filled in about my sex life.
 
I wasn't going to post, but well here's a little something different...

Family;
Nope, but, I do tease my primary parental units with some of their kinks sometimes or at least jokes at their expense. They tend to be loud, so I'm allowed to! And this is another case of the "nut didn't fall THAT far from the tree," though I'm not sure to what extent, but I also don't care.

Friends;
Only the ones I know in the scene or the kink community, and typically because we may have some fun together later or they might be able to introduce me to someone of interest.

Co-workers; Oh boy... So, granted there was one who by definition was a co-worker, but also later became a close friend who I could depend on and ask some very unusual favors of. At the time this person was still a co-worker, and due to my unique peculiarities, genuine curiosity, and concern our conversation eventually turned to sex/kink/etc stuff. It was actually relevant at the time to an extent. Anyways, I made a deal with said person, "if you tell me your fetish I'll tell you mine" and interestingly enough we both had the same fetish! Since then this is one of the few people I feel comfortable talking to about most any sensitive topic.

Long winded? Yep.
TMI? Possibly.
And there is your "co-worker check-in-the-box."
 
Family & Co-Workers: nope, none of their business

Friends: eventually stopped after having too many "negative responses"

Others: let's see....
- girlfriend : highly possible, if I have one...
- friends from tickling forums : I don't see the reason not to.
- psychologist / psychiatrist : duh.....

Oh hell no!!! I cannot talk to anyone in my Vanilla life about tickling, especially my family and co-workers! Thats why I joined this site to meet new "like-minded" friends!!! 🙂
 
This question seems to come up a lot and I've always been at a loss to understand why. I've never had the hankering to walk up to a random co-worker, friend, or family member and say, "Hey there Joe, got to say I just love blow jobs! I mean really! Even like a finger in the butt every now and again!" Why would I have the need or desire to over share about my tickling predilections? Do I have some non-partner people that know I'm into kink? Sure, but they are VERY close (Like my brother) and therefore there isn't much we wouldn't talk about. In general though, I just can't see what this is so important that it comes up once a week or so.

Perhaps I'll start a thread with THAT question.

"Why on God's green earth would you wander around fountaining off about your sexual preferences for no apparent reason but to shock and appall?"

Maybe this question comes up because some of us are actually capable having a discussion of tickling with friends and family without "fountaining off about our sexual preferences."

Most everybody equates blow jobs with sex. It's difficult if not impossible to have a discussion of fellatio outside of a sexual context.

Tickling is different. It's not a sexual act. The vast majority of people in the world (very likely to include most your friends and family) don't equate tickling with sex. If you can keep cool, it's very easy to talk about tickling with friends and family and even engage in it from time to time. I've been doing it for decades.

But if you're one of those people who just can't control themselves and have to blurt out It turns me on! It makes my dick hard! well then perhaps it's best to avoid the topic altogether.
 
I'm definitely more open than I used to be... but I still keep it to myself, in much the same way I keep all my sexual proclivities, fantasies, & experiences to myself.

That said, if the topic of conversation among friends turn to these personal matters, I'm not averse to talking about tickling... although in my experience, I've never had friends close enough & long enough to get that intimate...

In the context of a website mostly populated with people who indeed do find tickling a sexual act, your comment is specious.

In fact, the entire question becomes even more irrelevant if one does not find tickling sexual, as you seem to claim. Under those circumstances, talking about (And in your case, engaging in) tickling is about as uncommon and fraught with barely controlled pathos as discussing one's preference for potpies or the relative inadequacies of Windows 8. It doesn't matter because there's no deviation from societal standards.

The question here, although sparsely worded, uses the term "Open." In general, this word is used to indicate a person who is living a lifestyle or offering up characteristics that are different from the established norms. Openly gay, openly atheist, openly right wing christian fundamentalist. It is apparent then, that the meaning of this thread and the others like it is to suggest that there is a benefit of some sort to "Coming clean" with friends and family about a decidedly sexual interest in tickling. I am offering the counterpoint that there is not.

I do have to admit that I find it a challenge to make it through an entire day without randomly shouting "It makes my dick hard!" at inappropriate times. (It happened at the DMV just yesterday! How embarrassing!)

@DontAskJusTckle: I could not have said this any better myself. I don't tell family nor coworkers, because it doesn't matter, even with casual tickling. I DO tell some friends and always put it in the context of the act of play, NOT OF SEX.

As was mentioned, if tickling is something that's always going to make you rush off secretly and jerk off to orgasm because you can't control your compulsions, then perhaps it's best not to tell folks until you've dealt with that.

If you love tickling simply as an activity and can enjoy it without the need of going further towards orgasm (which happens with 90% of the guys I tickle), then it's going to be easier to express yourself as someone enjoying tickling. Someone here mentioned about never telling anyone because he doesn't want to equate himself with the weirdos who post on social media incessantly about their desires to tickle. I acknowledge there are plenty of a-holes who make things tougher for us as a community, but if you've become well adjusted with your love of tickling and you can communicate it in a respectful, articulate manner, you should speak up. Otherwise, this will continue looking like a haven for weirdos to the rest of society.
