Hmmm...
Here's my experience. The girl Sarah on Joe Millionaire had been in a tickling video which was made public which she was on the show. My boyfriend knew about it, and we had debates if it was a "normal" bondage video or a tickling one (I of course knew it was a tickling one, but only argued that it was simply a bondage one to try to get his opinion of the video out). When I didn't get much of a reaction regarding the video, I asked him what he though the strangest fetish was. When he wouldn't give me a direct answer about that either, I named a few, throwing tickling in with some of the more mainstream ones (granted, it wasnt until I became a regular member here that I even heard about some other....more unusual....fetishes 😉 ) He of course, replied tickling, just saying that he didn't "get it" and stuff. About a month later, I came clean to him about it. Now he finds it as a turn on...
The moral of my story? (Lol) Basicially, he became interested in it once he knew i was into it. Does that maybe help a little?
