Changing from strict 'lee' or 'ler' to 'both?'

[TeMpEsT949]

Well first of all, I'll just apologize if there's already a thread out there like this one, and there probably is, lol.

Anyway...lately I've had some pretty strong urges to tickle people. It's weird, because up until now, I've considered myself a pretty strict lee. I'm still not 50/50, maybe 75/25, lol. There are actually two guys I work with who I've just been waiting for a good opportunity to tickle. I got one today-

I work for my school's freshman orientation program, and one of the guys and I had just led a student to an appointment. Well, we got on the elevator, and I had been asking to see his sunglasses and he wouldn't let me. So I reached for them and he took them off and held them behind his back. Then he started laughing and said the fatal words 'don't touch me.' *mischievous chuckle* So I started tickling him and he was REALLY ticklish, and ended up crouching down as I kept attacking his sides and tummy 😛 It was fun til the doors opened and there was this little old woman standing there like "Oh!" Haha, oops.

I'm still a lee at heart, and I think I mostly want to tickle people because I want them to tickle me back. But I've also noticed that my personality is changing. I used to be very shy and reserved, but I'm becoming a lot more outgoing and playful...maybe that has something to do with it? I'm not sure. I was just wondering, has this happened to anyone else, where you've considered yourself either a strict ler or lee and found yourself having strong urges to be the opposite?

I think the fetish changes as you get older, just like everything else. I used to be a total 'ler because I didn't like the idea of being vulnerable with anyone in any way, shape or form. Then suddenly I grew up, realised that not everyone was out to kill me for a fiver and as a result I've found myself actually enjoying being tickled, although old neuroses die hard and I still can't bring myself to volunteer for bondage :S. Also you tend to see a lot of men who are big 'lers saying they'll switch because they like telling women what they want to hear, possibly because they feel it may preclude some romantic arrangement or something. You'd have to ask them that 😀

I went through the same process. only from the 'ler side. I grew up as a 'ler, and the times I let myself be tied and tickled were for two reasons: if the 'lee asked to pay me back, or in order to feel on my own skin what my 'lees feel - in order to enhance my experience as a 'ler (hope I made sense here).
Over the past few years I discovered my 'lee side, and being as ticklish as I am it's amazing how strong it is. Now I can have a 'lee experience independent of anything else, and like it.

OK, maybe you're right...I AM getting older, about to turn 21, I guess I'm just changing all around 😛 And hmmm...are you one of the people who just 'tells women what they want to hear?' That sounds suspicious *raises an eyebrow*

Btw, your signature is quite disgusting, lol.

 

[Headsnap]

Yeah, growing up is fun eh? Finally figuring out your sexual preferences and then realising you haven't really got a clue what they are and becoming open-minded as a result is quite liberating, but just wait til you get to the really fun bit, like loans and cars and houses... super-dee-duper!

And hmmm...are you one of the people who just 'tells women what they want to hear?' That sounds suspicious *raises an eyebrow*

As for my particular stance on that I'd tell you, but only if I thought you really wanted to hear it ;D

 

[huskys]

I used to be a ler only, and still LOVE to tickle. 😀
It's only in the last couple of years that I even considered being a lee. 😱
It's a change that I am actually greatfull for because it opens up a whole new view of tickling that I had never experienced before.
So good luck with your new found interest girl, and 'tickle away'!!!

 

[tommytikl]

Well you could also be tickling someone to get them to tickle you back...
So you might be like 80% lee and the other 10% ler is to feed the lee beast in you 🙂

Lee to Ler

Good question Angelic! I am predominately lee. HEY! That would make a cool forum name. PredominatLEE. Sorry...got off track. Anyway...yeah, lately I have been getting a strong urge to have someone under my fingers. I want to see what it's like to have a squirming, squealing, willing body at at my mercy but I will always be a Lee at heart because I love when my partner has me at his mercy. 😉

 

[aun_existe_amor]

Bob was a ler before he met me. I'm 100% ler so it wouldn't have worked if one of us hadn't changed. Anyway, he's 100% lee now which is excellent for me 😀

 

[EvenSteven]

mostly a 'lee

i will always be mostly a 'lee, but if a woman let's me know that she really enjoys being the 'lee, then i could derive pleasure from tickling her. i don't believe that my tendencies have changed much over the years.

 

[Luv2Tickle69]

I've been right down the middle for as long as I can remember....hence, my use of the term 'LeeLer.' I give as good as I get. 😉

 

[jaba]

yeah......right.....

Bob was a ler before he met me. I'm 100% ler so it wouldn't have worked if one of us hadn't changed. Anyway, he's 100% lee now which is excellent for me 😀

Uh huh......

We've heard your ticklish laugh, mi Amor........

You're still sticking with that "100 percent ler" story, eh ?.....

Growing up especially through my teens I always enjoyed being a tickler. Being so ticklish I had always thought that I could never handle being tickled the way that I had always tickled old girlfriends and such.

I then dated a girl while in my 20's who gave really good back rubs and scratches, hence great nails. Of course during back scratches she'd end up at my sides which tickled like mad. She never immediately went into an all out tickle attack, therefore I would mostly squirm and wince. It was at this time that I realized that I really enjoyed that kind of tickle. Eventually I was lucky enough to meet someone online and meet for a tickle session to which after I tickled her I allowed myself to be tied and tickled. While I went nuts, I found that could handle really being tickled by a set of female nails, and enjoy it. I'll always be more of a 'ler, but I guess you could say I was slowly converted.

Great question.

Have fun,

Tckleguy

🙂 Tickle, tickle!

Darn! There was tickling in Indiana and I wasn't a part of it? lol

I was 100% tickler until my early twenties and then at a party one night two female friends of mine decided to gang up on me. After a couple of minutes of them tickling me I realized that it was fun! Before that incident I would have gotten pissed off when someone tickled me.

I think it does have a lot to do with getting older and becoming more comfortable with ones own body and being open to new experiences. The willingness of giving up control, to let the tickling sensation take you over can be quite enjoyable.

It seems as time goes by I become more and more of a lee, however I am still mostly a ler. About 75% ler, 25% lee, depending on the woman I am with.

 

[mykal]

I am currently 100% ler, however I think would classify myself as lee-curious. 🙂 I have been lightly tickled in the past, but I would need to find someone that was willing to tickle me and whom I trusted to explore any further.

 

[EvilNinjaInLove]

As child I was moslt a ler, but as I went through my teens I found myself wanting to be tickled, and would try to put myself into positions where it would happen.

Now I'm a switch. I haven't really had enough experience to tell if i prefer being a lee or ler. (anyone want to help me find out? lol) 😉
