Did you always have a tickling fetish?

[Senshi1]

I'm curious about something. A lot of people here talk about liking tickling from a really early age, and often feeling like they were alone, but the complete opposite is true for me. I'm wondering if I'm in a minority, or if this is a common occurance?

See, what happened, is that I always had a thing for bondage, but aside from that I was vanilla. I'd never even heard of tickle-fetishism, or anyone getting "that funny feeling in their tummy" about tickling, right up until the last minute.

So I was channel surfing one night, and I spied a program about the porn industry. With nothing less than a purely intellectual and scholarly interest, I tuned in, and as it happened, they were talking about tickle-fetishism, and showing clips of a topless woman, hands tied behind her, being tickled with feather dusters and screaming the place down.

As I was watching, I actually got the butterflies myself, and thought "hey, this isn't bad - I could get into this." And so not long after, I began to read up on it.

Therefore, unlike a lot of people, who seemed to have been chosen BY the fetish, I chose it myself, having started out as a pure vanilla. I knew about tickle fetishism before I was into it myself, but you could say I volunteered for it after I saw what it had to offer.

Are we "choosers" a bit of a minority, or is this a more common occurance than I thought?

I think I have always had a tickle fetish and I have always been in love with the whole tickling and being tickled thing.

I remember watching cartoons when I was six where toons would have their feet tickled and all I could think is 'I want that to happen to me'. 🙂 It got so bad that whenever someone was being tickled on the tv I had to leave the room cos I would blush so much.

Heheh, I remember watching this after-school show where a small bunch of faerie-like creatures got the better of these giants by tickling the giants feet with their wings and feathers. I blushed so much my folks thought I was ill.

As I grew up however and I wandered onto the internet, I start searching for tickle pics and much to my wow there were loads of em. It was only then that I fully accepted that I had a tickle fetish and that it rocked utterly!!! 😀 Ever since finding this TT haven and a few other sites, it has become such a massive part of my life.

😀 😀 😀

I have always had mine as well. Pretty much my younger years are described just like feathers already has stated.

 

[likeasong1]

I didn't know what a fetish was when I first got into tickling. I remember I enjoyed tickling one girl at my table in kindergarten in particular. And in my high school, once in awhile a guy would sneak behind a girl and tickle her sides to watch her jump (obviously this was back when this could happen without that guy getting suspended!).

 

[TKLVR181]

I also had mine from a young age--at around 5-7 I can remember getting butterflies at even the mention of the 't' word--but long before that I also had a penchant for tickle-attacking my close friends and sister. They still know me for it😉

Well so far I seem to be in a definate minority - in fact, the only one in this thread. 😛 Still, it's early days. Will be interesting to see how many people chose the fetish rather than were born with it.

 

[duck171]

I'm a little surprised to be honest. I figured you would not be alone.

 

[Camel26]

My early years are much like those have described above--loved being tickled, tickling my brother, hearing/seeing tickling or any derivation of the t word made me blush and feel butterflies...I just didn't have or understand the sexual connotations until well after puberty...

Once that understanding dawned on me, I was afraid to let people touch me...for a long time...until my current girlfriend. Now, I'm quite comfortable in my own skin. It took a long time...and lots of learning via the web and life experience, but here I am.

I know you can't be alone, Senshi--I'm sure there are folks on this forum who are right there with you. I know I've turned a few folks in the BDSM community here in the Burgh on to Tickling. And my ler...she never thought of it as anything...ever...until she met me...now, she loves it, and often asks me to get on top of her while we make love so that she can tickle me and feel me writhing on top of her...she thinks it's hot...😉

You're not alone...

I was born wanting to tie up and tickle females. Okay, I started having the urge around 6.

 

[MistressValerie1]

I was interested by tickling from a very young age, perhaps three or four, but only became intensely interested in it around the age of 10 or 11 (puberty). My interest later faded to nil until I met my subby hubby when I was 20; he rekindled the tickle flame for me, and visiting sites like TT has helped reinforce my interest, which of course he is grateful for 😉

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

please allow the hollywood brother to break it down DX hollywood brother style. you see as a young hollywood brother on the mean streets of a inner city and spending time down the jersey shore, the hollywood brother always liked a little excitment. however once the hollywood brother hit puberty and burst on the scence his adult life was very vanilla. even the hollywood brother porn was girl girl or girl boy. later on the hollywood brother got into bondage and then eventually tickling. the hollywood brother thinks he likes tickling and bondage so much because it is all about the lee and the reactions of the lee. now can you dig that? as a youngster the hollywood brother loved seeing a tickle or a tie up on tv but was not really into it like your hollywood brother is right this very minute. so that is it. the hollywood brother started late in the tickle world. now if anyone is not down with that the hollywood brother got two words for you "SUCK IT!". In conclusion the hollywood brother only got one question and that is simply whatcha gonna do when the rock and roll tickle king known as the hollywood brother along with two sonicares run wild on you?

 

[TKLVR181]

Wow, I'm actually kinda relieved--hearing people state ages 3-6 makes me feel alittle less weird, I'd always heard people say 'puberty' and stuff and thought that I was interested earlier than most people! XD

So it sounds like you had sort of the same thing as me then? 😀 That's a relief. Looking at the replies I was beginning to think I really was one of the only ones. 😛

i started to like tickling when i was about 6 and i saw the 3 tickling episodes of ninja turtles and i loved it. it began to grew and in 8th grade i wanted to tie up and stroke feather's across the soles of my pre-algebra teacher who was cute and young and ALWAYS wore sandals. shortly after, in 9th, i took computer sciene courses in high school and i discovered the net and searched for tickling and sure enough, 2,143 sites found, so i clicked on the first one and it was female feet or something like that, which is not just called realtickling. talk about one of the best days ever when i found i wasn't the only ticklephilie in the world.

 

[Sorcerer Lance]

almost the same story with Norm for the most part, I've seen tickle scenes when I was around 5 in cartoons like TMNT, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and countless others back in the early 90s when tickle torture in cartoons were more predominant. I always thought it was a pattern and actively watched cartoons to see if there would be at least one tickle torture scene shown, this fascination grew into a fetish into puberty and then finally learned I was'nt alone on this thanks to the vastness of the internet.

I'm kinda hoping there would be more tickle torture scenes in cartoons in the future...it died down considerably

 

[Featherdemon]

We should start a secret petition to all the Cartoon networks and have them produce a 'Cartoons with Tickling in them'! 😀😀 How awesome would that be?

 

[JerryTicklesFeet]

i realized i had a foot tickling fetish back in high. my last g/f loved her feet tickled as well as my current one

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

Count me in with the legions of pre-puberty tickling fans.

If there's a difference here, it's that I was always deathly afraid of being tickled(rather than liking it), yet secretly became fetishistic towards it at a very young age.

So, I'm the worst kind of ler: the one who can dish but can't take it! 😱

 

[Tiefling]

Certainly not. At least, not that I knew of anyway. As far as I am aware mine is a relatively recent development awakened by the new tickling filled experience of college dorm living (and a few consequent web searches). Before then I had never been tickled nor even been around tickling. Funny how these things work out, is it not?

 

[NMKamikaze1]

I've had a tickling fetish since I was about 7 or 8.

 

[hidden]

I have pretty much always had one. Started out as a simple curiosity and developed into a more serious facination. I didn't know it as it is today until I gained access to the information on the internet. Thanks internet!

Alright! That's three of us - you, me and HWB. 😀

Wow, though - we're more of a minority than I was expecting!

 

[leenotler]

For me it started after college. After investigating all kinds of fetishes I become interested in various ones, finally discovering and concentrating on tickling. It seemed the most exciting and fun, and more likely to happen in everyday life, giving it a certain "dangerous" edge. So, I'm one more late bloomer.

Awesome, we're up to four! 😀

Okay that's good - I was starting to think I was a minority WITHIN a minority. XD

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

It actually does my heart good (as a lifelong tickling nut) to hear that many come to dig tickling later in their journey. 🙂
