Losing Interest? The impossible happened

The weirdest thing happened to me ..a few months ago, for the most part, I stopped watching tickle porn and it hasn't bothered me at all. I am 35 now, and I've been watching this stuff regularly since I was maybe 14 or 15. In early December, I realized that I hadn't watched any tickling videos at all, so I tested myself by deleting my entire collection. I don't really mind deleting the collection as a test mainly just because its still all available online, and I can go re-purchase the videos again. Regardless of that, deleting my collection hasn't bothered me at all.

I'm not actively trying to give it up either. I just find it really weird, that for the first time in like 20 years, I basically just kind of lost interest in it and haven't indulged it. I came on here to see if anyone had an explanation or if anything like this has happened to anyone here?

I still love the tickling fetish, love the community, etc ..but as far as actively indulging the videos, getting off to them, etc ...this is the longest time I've ever gone without tickle porn and it has not bothered me at all.

I always thought that if I deleted my tickle porn stash, after a few days I would change my mind and get back into it. But nope ..I was wrong.

Sorry if this post is all over the place lol

So We'll Go No More a Roving

So, we'll go no more a roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart be still as loving,
And the moon be still as bright.

For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul wears out the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe,
And love itself have rest.

Though the night was made for loving,
And the day returns too soon,
Yet we'll go no more a roving
By the light of the moon.

-Lord Byron (1788-1824)

Thanks for the question and thread topic, weezl. And thanks to Libertine for that awesome Lord Byron poem. So poignant, prescient, pertinent, and perfect to the situation weezl has described. I’ll offer that my experience with tickling porn ebbs and flows sometimes too. Mostly flows, but every once in a while ebbs. My deletions of my videos and pics were coming from a place of shame which doesn’t seem to be where yours came from which is good. I am slowly working thru that shame piece on my end. I am in my 50s, and as such have spent a considerably longer time here on the planet than yourself. Just for reference. I think for me the ebbs are when I have alot going on in my ‘real life’ with others, non-screen stuff (both romantic relationships and non-romantic). I wonder if some of your not gravitating back to tickle porn as you describe it is related to you having alot more going on in your ‘real life’ relationships? Just a thought and a question. Thanks again for the topic you’ve brought up. And thanks again to Libertine for the sharing of that beautiful poem.

It's an evolution. The question is, are you content. If you are, then I see no problem with anything you outlined. After being active in consumption, I stopped consuming content randomly for like a 4-to-5-year stretch. You're overall wellbeing is the most important piece of it.

Curiosity is fine, and this is a unique post is far as I'm concerned so thanks for sharing.

My obsession with tickling is actually increasing as i get older.

I am very content. I don't even have a girlfriend. Tickling has always been my primary fetish, but I'm also into other stuff too. There's more to sexuality than tickling. I guess I Just never thought this would happen. And I always thought that if I tried to give this stuff up, it'd drive me crazy.

I've posted many variations of this many times. It CAN be done. I'm far from conventionally attractive but have managed.

Lesson 1- Don't rely on apps.

Whenever I was single I just chatted to random women IRL, and if they chatted back (and a lot didn't) sometimes we'd become friends and sometimes that would lead to more interesting things. Sometimes but not always. But at least I knew right from the get-go that they were female and that I found them attractive.

My success rate online was far less, so I generally stuck to chatting to the woman next to me in line at a theatre, or at the same table in the library, or at a bus stop for instance, rather than chasing an internet Wilhelmina o' the Wisp. Those are, incidentally, three examples of occasions where I did connect as per the subject of this website.

The leadup to my marriage to KT (16 years now) began when I gathered my courage and began talking to her because she was sitting a few computers away from me in a London cybercafe.

Boring and pointless it may seem, but starting a random conversation about something inconsequential (that takes practice too) is what I'd advise for anyone, keeping in mind you'll usually be rejected at one point or another by every women to whom you speak. Yes, it hurts, yes, it's yet another blow to the confidence, no, it won't kill you and yes, if you summon up your courage even if you think you have none you will recover to 'get back on the horse after being thrown' and try again with someone else, and the sooner the better if you don't want to join those loathsome incels who somehow delight in blaming women for their own inadequacies.

Just be decent about it and don't complain about women. They are what they are. What would you say to a sailor complaining about the waves or a boxer annoyed that he'd been punched?

That's romantic life for pretty much every man, and no-one said this was easy.

But keep trying, roll the bones, and good luck.



This is the one I married.

Yes, I got very lucky -third wife and a lot of sturm und drang over many years before meeting her.

I take nothing for granted; with luck we'll stay together.

I hope something similar happens for all of you

Perhaps it is Tickle Burnout?
