Desensitised to tickling talk/content?

Hi all.

This may have been discussed before, but I couldn't find it using the search function at least.

Does anyone else find that over the years, especially through use of the TMF and clips, you have become less likely to become very excited by a little bit of tickle talk or pictures/clips?

When I first joined the TMF I would say I was young and quite naive about how much tickling stuff is out there. Getting a text from a female friend saying where they are ticklish, or that yes, they do enjoy being tickled, was a massive turn-on, frankly.

When I first started discussing with a good friend on this site our preferences in tickling and being tickled, through email, each message was so exciting to get, and a really novel experience.

Now that I've been around this forum, and watching the odd clip, for a few years, I find that it takes a lot more than that to get me excited, whether it's turned on or just really looking forward to tickling someone. A similar texttoday just makes me go "Huh, interesting."

Anyone?
 
I have become desensitised. Not just to tickling, but sex as well. It just doesn't excite me like it used to. I guess its the rest of life as well. Nothing seems as fun as it once did, and sometimes I feel like I have done everything fun there is to do in life and now there is nothing left.
 
For me, it would be a mistake to think that tickling itself is what turns me on. It's not the tickling -- it's an underlying emotional dynamic, some internal struggle which may have a name outside my knowledge -- which is exemplified in some situations where tickling is involved.

However, since the Forum brings together tickling fetishists of all sorts and the act of tickling is the only truly common thread, I'm sure we all see a lot of content here that never actually appealed to us. If I immersed myself too much and reflected too little, I could see myself making "the mistake."

It seems that fetishes, like so many things, can be best appreciated in moderation.

I don't know if I'd call it desensitization... more like getting used to having your needs met enough that you don't flip out every time you hear "the word". And honestly, that's as it should be.

Look at it this way; are you "desensitized" to breathing? Do you moan in orgasmic delight every time you have your favorite ice cream flavor?

I'd rather something be a massive turn-on because it's happening in the context of getting to enjoy my fetish, rather than jumping up and down excitedly because somewhere, someone dared breathe the T-word. I mean, more power to you if it does... I like talking tickling with someone I like as much as the next guy, but I don't flip out over it.
 
I agree, but I prefer it that way. It's like Mr Tickle said: more like getting used to having your needs met enough that you don't flip out every time you hear "the word". Yup, turned on, nervous, even just seeing a pair of womens bare feet propped up on a coffeehouse use to send the heart a pounding. I didn't like that crazyness about it. Now, after having numerous sessions with both tickling and foot worship, and talking about this subject with select people, it's easier. I don't get as turned on as I use to, and I kind of miss that, but I don't miss the out of control aspect of it. A lot easier for me to be comfortable around bare feet, and my feeling for them and tickling, as it should be.
 
When it comes to clips I wouldn't say desensitized, but harder to please? yes. I still love non-company pics and artwork though. Now those are my 2 fav types of tickling media actually.

Definitely! Back in my early exploration I would get very excited about even the tiniest things, pictures were enough to keep me "happy".

But over time Pictures didn't do the job, and then soon after that, clips weren't enough either, I found myself in a position where only the real thing would do, and that's where I happily sit now and im ok with that 🙂
 
Now that I think about it, there was a woman I was seeing for sensual massage, and we talked about this aspect. She said seeing naked men every day does take the initial excitment out of it over time, and it's harder for her to get turned on anymore from the sight. There is a getting use to it over overstimulation.
 
LOL.

Go to bootcamp for a couple of months and you'll feel like a noobie all over again. Man! Before my first bootcamp experience I was pretty bored with women. Sex was plentiful. After 2 months of bootcamp though I didn't feel that way anymore. We didn't get to interact with the females at all really. Even when we saw them they wore no makeup, baggy BDU's and had their hair in a bun. During our gasmask training the females who were on the other side of the hanger on separate bleachers were instructed to take their hair out of their buns and let it hang. There was a collective gasp in the hanger as we guys hadn't seen women with their hair down in months. As they shook their hair out I swear time slowed down. Till this day that is one of my top ten most erotic moments......a bunch of dirty smelly girls shaking their hair out.

Too much of a good thing. Stay away from all things tickling for a month and I assure you you'll be eager to return.

I think of my Fetish as an Addiction. Like all Addictions the material I used escalated. Stories used to get it for me at 17. I'm 23 now and to even get aroused I need a video, or to be a participant.
 
Yes , the whole thing just feels like a routine to me now . I still feel a need to explore, but it doesnt excite me , its just something I do.
 
It definitely takes a lot more to get my attention than it did 10 years ago. Over the past couple of years I've found myself increasingly picky about engaging someone in tickle-flirting, because frankly I haven't run into too many people who are really good at it, in my opinion. I'm over the generic kind of threats and teasing that I used to get into. It's just not enough anymore. I need somebody a little more creative.

The same can be said for the content. I used to read/watch just about anything. Hell, I started out on a strictly m/m site, and kept going back because, the stories might have been about cock and ball tickling, to which I obviously cannot relate, but it was tickling nonetheless and it was better than nothing. Now I'm really picky in what kind of content I'm interested in, and usually avoid it entirely because I don't want to pay for it, and I don't want to sift through hundreds of clips that don't cater to what I'm looking for specifically just to find a 30 second clip that I kinda like. If I ever stumbled upon a writer or producer who made stuff I like consistently, I might check them out a little more often.

I'm not sure who, if anyone, said that they did feel this strongly about it...

Yeah, I've been there, and I'd agree with that. Thankfully, "bootcamp" is the sort of thing you only need to do once or twice in your whole life. But yes, I remember both times I finished that sort of training where you're very isolated from all things sexual and tickling for a long time, returning to it was very exciting.

wow I just realized how depressing my post from last night sounds. I must have been in a bad mood. lol. Its really not as bad as that sounds, haha, or maybe it is I don't know. I think its just how available everything is these days as compared to when I was a teenager. I think if I wasn't so over saturated with pleasure I would enjoy things more. I always tell myself, I'm going to go for a period without sexual stimulation or drugs, but that never lasts more than a few days. lol. Thats really the key. Everything in moderation.
 
I still get excited with tickle talk/flirting. I hope that never goes away!!!!!!!!!

Peace
