Any opinions on whether a person is born with a tickle fetish or..if it was developed through some kind of child hood or preteen or even after preteen experience that triggered the fetish,.and if your opinion is someone is born with it isn't it possible that if a ler and lee were to have children in their relationship that the kids have a good chance of having the fetish as well?..it's not a life or death question just out of curiousness.

I don't think we're born with it, but I think it's something in the really early stage of the childhood that can be the beginning of a fetish.

I just wrote about a memorie from my childhood in THIS THREAD.

Other than that I allways been curious about how it all started.
My mum told me one time about my grandparents dog (my mum lived with them after I was born) that used to lick my feet and I was giggling and loving it. I then started to think that maby this was one of the triggers that started my fetish.

Im tempted to ask her if she know of others things that could have been the reason for this since she allready know of my lifestyle and what I like.

 

[TropicThunder]

I actually think I may have found out what happened during my childhood that caused me to develop a fetish, at least that's what I think.

So maybe it depends on the person. I don't think I was born this way, but I don't regret anything about it either.

I think I was born with it for I can not recall any tickling done to me as a young child (in stating that's what created my fetish). I just knew I got that funny and weird feeling in my stomach when a girl was tickled or I was tickling them as a kid. I can remember as far as when I was 5 or 6 years old when I loved tickling and the reaction it had on girls.

One of my earliest memories (from being about 3 years old) is me sitting in the garden singing a song to my mother about me tickling everybody. I have no memories of being tickled as a child. At any point actually, but I know I liked tickling from the word go.

I don't know if I was born with it, but I do recall having a facination with tickling/being tickled at a young age. When I was like 4 or 5, my older sister used to tickle me, and I remember enjoying it. I also remember daydreaming about being tickled back then too. Then over the years I seem to have changed gears a bit, switching from a 'lee in my early years to more of a 'ler.

I dont think your born with it but as ya get older you might get interested in it if your tickled alot as a child or maybe you just see it happen alot.

Yep! Same for me.

 

[BMoreTklr]

I wouldn't say born with it, but I have memories of being interested in tickling from as young as 3, 4, and 5 years old. I didn't get that weird feeling in my stomach until a few years later. About the teenage mutant ninja turtle heyday......KOWABUNGA 🙂

Your experience sounds similar to mine. At a very early age I was fascinated with tickling and would have those same type of strange feelings in those situations.

Take care,

Any opinions on whether a person is born with a tickle fetish

lol. This is definitely in the TMF top three most discussed topic list. Just do a search in this subforum to find volumes of thought.

Myself, I find the notion ludicrous. It seems much more plausible (and consistent with what we know of psychology and human behaviour) that kinks and fetishes are developmental and associative. The fascination may start at a very young age and then become sexual later, but I see no reason to consider that a person is born with a particular kink, other than the fact that lots of folks argue "I must have been born with it, because I don't remember developing it" 🙄

 

[ndj101982]

You're definitely not born with a tickle fetish. It's something you develop in your more impressionable years of childhood.


That's like asking if you're naturally gay or straight when you're born. Everyone knows that being gay is a choice...JK 🙂

 

[ShadowKat]

My fascination with women being tickled locked in years ago at a small get together, when another guy and a girl got into a big tickle fight. Later that night after I got home and went to bed, with the sound of her loud wicked laughter still ringing in my ears... I'll just say I didn't get much sleep that night. Been hooked on it ever since.

 

[P[a]pi]

I think the majority are born with it. I think soembody can adopt it, but I don't think it will be as strong.

 

[rhiannon]

I don't know if it is actually something that is in your genes; I know though that I was turned on by watching others get tickled when I was a toddler already, and I really can't remember any triggering experience. Maybe it's a mixture of genes and impressions, I don't know.

Everyone knows that being gay is a choice...

Was that irony or do you really mean that?

 

[love feet]

They say childhood trauma may trigger it!
I dont know if thats true!??

 

[rhiannon]

Well, I had a pretty trauma-free childhood. Unless you are talking about the trauma of being born! 🙂

Irony, hence the jk and smiley face afterwards.

My belief is that you are born into this world without any preconceived notions of anything. You don't need traumas in your life to trigger a fetish. Things just come together. Perhaps you enjoyed being tickled at an extremely young age. I know that my love for bondage comes from the fact that when I was little there were always detective shows playing on television in my house. Those shows typically had a girl in bondage at some point during each episode, and I began to have a love for bondage as early as 9 years old.

 

[luvgirlsfeet]

I honestly think we are all born with it because eventually it comes to light that we have that interest whether it's at an early age or a little later. I'm about 99.9% positive that I was born with it.

LOL. Don't hate cuz some of us were born with it.

Knismolagnia seems to be the overall reaction to this fetish even if condregated from the abstract of the physical and phycological , well being of ones metophoric and contemparary way of digesting relevant information.
On the other hand the develpement of ones cerebral cortex due to ones melatonan or the lack of ambiotic fluid in the womb may factor in metaphoric changes as one in his or hers cultural behavioral patterns seen in early primates.

This. I agree with this statement. When we're born, our minds are sort of a "clean slate" and then the absorbing of information and hardwiring begins. Our minds are sponges.

I know someone who never came into their tickling fetish until they were in their late 20s. Not everyone knows at such a young age.

They say childhood trauma may trigger it!

This is not true. Not all of us had some childhood trauma that could trigger something like this.

 

[DontAskJusTckle]

Many childhood trauma's are repressed, and will not be remembered except through regression hypnotherapy. We may not remember our childhood trauma's, but that doesn't mean their wasn't any.
