Are WE really the weird ones? Or are THEY?

[Edge]

Do you know how many girls have called me weird when I tell them about the tickling thing? I'd say 80-90% of them...of course I live in the worst area of the country for girls being openminded...the northeast. Its really bad here..seriously. I meet girls all over the country online and they usually for the most part handle things a lot better than girls here...
But the more I think about it are we really weird? I honestly try to be unbiased about it and step back and say how weird is tickling? Compared to most other fetishes I honestly think tickling is harmless and not that "weird." In fact, I've had some girls who I told about it to say they'd never date a guy into something like tickling...to me those people who are so against something as simple as tickling...maybe they are the weird ones? Its like girls who call guys freaks for having a foot fetish yet say if their b/f had a foot fetish they'd break up with them over that...arent they just as bad (if not worse) for being SO against feet? To me thats just as bad as a foot fetish...its the opposite/extreme and probably more extreme than having a foot fetish since they'd actually break up with you over it.

I can see where your coming from; when I was told about the tickling fetish, I embraced it and wanted to know more about it, but then it was coming from someone that already meant a hell of a lot to me, perhaps coming outta the blue about it with girls that you hardly know, may be the problem, I dunno.

Also the thing about foot fetishists, you say, they think its weird and that girls may dump their boyfriends if they found out that they had a foot fetish, what about the other way around? I have read countless threads about guys going on about feet and how a girl has to have (whats to them) perfect feet otherwise they aren't interested, it works both ways.

I find nothing wrong in tickling or the fetish that comes with it, I have no problem with telling people about it either, thats probably the way I am, as I find it hard at understanding why some people are so against it or think its a bad thing. To me these people are probably just ignorant as its something they may not have heard before.

I think sex is weird, so maybe I am not the best judge here

I think we're all weird in one way or another; and we should embrace that. After all, who wants to be normal? How dull that would be! 🙄 😛

I like tickling and I like feet. I don't broadcast it to the world, but if someone asks, I will be truthful and upfront about it. If they take offense to it, then thats their problem. Life's too short to worry about what people think of you.

You're asking the wrong question. It's not an issue of who is "weird." It's an issue of numbers. In the general population, there is only a distinct minority of individuals who finds tickling to be a fetish, whatever that word actually means. Those of us who do aren't "weird," we just exhibit a trait that the vast majority of individuals do not exhibit. Having a tickling fetish is no more weird than being left-handed or having red hair.

As far as people's reactions to learning about the tickling fetish go, there are basically two kinds of people. There are the curious types and the weirded-out types. Example: once I was at a bar chatting with the girl across from me. She was wearing a sleeveless top, which was naturally too tempting to resist. Not knowing at all whether this girl was into tickling, I took the first opportunity I got to tickle her underarm. After yelping, instead of being all weirded out, she decided to get me back and began tickling me in the ribs, which was VERY nice, as she was a VERY good tickler.

But yes, some people will indeed get weirded out. I tried to hint around for hours with this one girl about my tickling fetish, and after she remained clueless, I finally came out and told her. She simply couldn't believe it. The whole thing seemed insane to her. I was like, "why did you think I kept trying to get you to tie me up and tickle me?" She told me that she thought I was turned on by being tied up. She had no idea that it was tickling that turned me on. The thought that tickling could be sexual had never even occurred to her. She was very weirded out.

But you can't freak out about the fact that some people will inevitably be weirded out by this whole thing. Most girls will be cool with it, even if they think it's a bit odd. I think it's often best to let them sort of figure it out gradually over time. One of my gfs was with me for months before she made the connection between the fact that whenever tickling took place, I got horny. When she finally put 2 and 2 together, whenever she wanted to have sex, she would just come up and start tickling me.

Hi,i'm in the north east too so i hope this gives you hope,apart from one ex g/f who griped about just about everything,i've been lucky to have numerous g/f's who were cool about the tickling thing.a couple actually complained that ex's of theirs wouldn't indulge them!get to know them a bit,get comfortable with each other and treat them right.it's amazing what actually caring and considering for a woman can lead to,cuddles,listening and the odd meal can go a long way mate!btw,re:sex being weird to some of the people who've posted in this thread....it can be if you're doing it right,lol.

I'm so *normal*,whatever that is,that i'm perverted. The news in paradise would be very boring,don't you think?😉

 

[Goodieluver]

There is no such thing as a normal person

 

[duannewalton]

I think with most girls, it depends on who's doing the tickling and who's checking out their feet. If it's someone they like, know, trust, etc. then there's not that much of a problem.

People need to be more understanding, we are not weird at all and it is perfectly normal to enjoy tickling. Plenty of people enjoy things far more extreme and considered different. The fact that we like something different makes us more interesting. 🙂
