Thread 'Am I Ticklish?'

Sep 9, 2024

I wanted to write about an experience I had recently, as I think it may have changed a large piece of my philosophy relative to tickling.

Before I detail the experience, here are a few points of exposition:

1. I believe tickling to be the most fascinating thing. I’ve been attracted to this fetish for as long as I can remember (approx. 35 years). I appreciate the universal and non discriminatory nature of tickling, the variety and range of reactions and tickle spots, and the contradiction that a physically tough individual can be reduced to laughter as a result of well-placed tickled...

Part 2:

I wish I had better news to report, but the story has essentially been paused.

I have a difficult time articulating why getting tickled is such a mesmerizing feeling for me. Being tied and touched makes me feel sexy, vulnerable, cared for, and in a word, seen.

I can’t live without sex, but I also think I’m truly lacking if I don’t feel tickles either. Though it feels sexual to me, a tickle session can be had on its own, and feel just as exhilarating, intimate, and necessary.

I told Michelle that I wrote about the experience, but she hasn’t read it, nor have we had another session yet. We’ve had sex several times since, but the absence of a true tickling session has me wrestling around with my frequent anxious questions.

I’m sure we will eventually have a true follow up session, but to be honest, I haven’t pressed that hard because I’m not sure she was as profoundly impacted as I was.

Anyway, some much pondered follow up questions until then:

1) are men that want to be submissive and tickled sexy to women that don’t have the fetish?
2) my tummy has gotten just a touch softer in my thirties, but I’m still fit. Does that matter to ticklers? On the other foot, I think bellies of all types are extremely attractive.
3) I wonder if these confusing feelings have been a reason that I’m guarded while being tickled. In the first part of the story, I really started letting go when Michelle started touching my penis. Would an experienced tickler that enjoyed the fetish provide a different outcome? Would I react differently or would I still need that sexual component?
4) I still have no real idea. Am I ticklish?
