Discovering your tickle fetish.

[meetlocher33]

Possibly for quite a majority of folks , like myself , i can't remember significant periods in my very young life that got me into tickling,
I,m wondering if anybody found out later ,.like say mid teens or older that they truly have a tickle fetish,..thus remembering the incident that triggered it.
( a little more complicated than asking what's your fav tickle spot )

I'm personally surprised how I found mine, that I am. About 3 years ago I was playing a game and one of the characters was complaining they were tickle tortured. For some reason it refused to leave my mind. Eventually I started looking into it, and when I ran into an artist who does tickling art it snowballed into what it is now.

I'm glad to know that now I'm on this site at 18 years of age, it's not something completely out of the ordinary ^___^;

I remember the moment I realized it was a turn-on. But it actually went way back before that.

When I was about 12, I looked at a picture in an ad of a cute girl about my own age. I felt something kind of stirring, and felt really strongly that there was something I wanted to do to her. It really confused me for a minute, until I suddenly said, I know! I want to tickle her! From then on, I wanted to tickle every girl I liked. I also started looking at their bare feet, imagining tickling them... which is where my liking for feet started.

But tickling was already a huge fixation for me way before that moment. I was fascinated by it by the time I was 3 or 4. I played tickle games with friends (mostly girls). I remember every time I saw tickling on TV, even in shows I don't otherwise remember at all, and the Raggedy Ann tickle monster scene almost obsessed me. Even before I had my "I want to tickle her" moment, I had a fantasy of a huge plant tickling all the girls in my class. It's just that the "moment" when I was 12 linked tickling to my growing sense of sexual interest.

Of course, this was all pre internet, so I had no idea anyone else was into this. Today's young ticklers are so lucky. For years, I thought I was a total freak.

I was 18. I had fantasized about tying my best friend up and tickling her for a couple of years before that, and I would always use tickling as a "punishment" when my friends were bad at school. That was elementry school so I guess I've had an interest scince I was about 10. Tickle scenes in cartoons, I could never watch, I always left the room when the scene in the jungle book came up with king Louie. I knew it was a fetish when I saw a report on erotic tickling on TV. That was my "omg it's real!" moment, that's when I knew that I wasn't the only one who thought about this. So yeah, that's my story 🙂

Oh wow...

The beginnings of my fetishes started very young.... like around 6 or 7 in elementary days. Foot fetishism was first... just immediately at every turn in pre-school to daycare, feet from my lady peers were around me, bare or with sandals and I was fixated by them for some reason. (At this time they were "just feet" not the beautiful body parts like I see them today.)

Shortly after, I guess my first encounter with tickle fetishism had started to spark up which was only bolstered after seeing tickling in cartoons like with Olive Oyl in "Bridge Ahoy" to reading the "Where's Waldo" books with the tickling parts that were drawn in some of the scenarios.

Of course this would lead to tickling in real life, my first tickle session (without me knowing what it was but finding it significant enough to remember to this day) was in daycare with this really pretty girl of which I hung out with so much that people assumed we were boyfriend and girlfriend! (However, having a girlfriend to my friends and even the daycare workers was detrimental, because of the outbreak of cooties and shortage of cootie shots 😀). My friend and I were sitting cross legged in the corner right behind the rest of the many other kids during some sort of meeting that had to be called by the day care workers. My friend was bare foot and I asked her to let me see the foot closest to me for "something", she complied and I stuck her foot underneath my leg to secretly tickle it... she was hilariously ticklish but of course we had to be quiet during the meeting or else we would get in trouble...I guess it could be another "first" in being introduced to predicament tickling...Although being so young I had know idea what fetishes were. In fact, I didn't learn what they were until high school. 🙂

Fast forward some years and many other ticklish peers later, middle school years come around.... BAM...here's the INTERNET! I looked up a ton of tickle material, which had started up some of my earliest tickle artwork. Yeah, there were times that I got caught by my parents and of course they didn't like it. But it wasn't enough to stop me from pursuing this interest that continued through high school and currently now in my college days.


All the encounters of early years have built me to be the fierce tickler I am today! My college lady friends know it first hand.... 😉

I have no concrete answer to why tickling became such a wonderful part of my life, it just started to.....well give me special feelings 😀

I like many here whilst growing up found numerous ways to tickle people my age in the local neigherhood or egg others on to do so. My sisters friends especially would get tickled whenever they came round the house. It was something I thought that was specific to me and didn't completly understand at first, I especially had no clue there was a community out there with like minded people out there.

After Yaqi appeared on a UK show dot comedy it took off big time then and opened to me to a whole new world at the age of 16, just mind blowing at the time. I've embraced it ever since.

Tickling has always been a part of my life in a BIG way. I didn't even really know it was a fetish until after I got to college. I mean, I knew I liked it more than everyone else around me, but I was ALWAYS getting tickled and tickling someone. For some reason, people always got a kick out of finding out I was super ticklish.

And my love for tickling is still growing and evolving. It is fascinating, really.

I can't remember a time when I wasn't "into" it, or rather that I knew watching, hearing/reading about, etc, made me feel funny. I knew I liked it TOO much, even though I didn't understand why or how, and as a result tried to avoid those feelings as much as possible, since I was embarrassed about something that gave me pleasure in such a manner that I couldn't explain.

But within the past couple years I put two and two together since I was like "OH, when I first learned what masturbation was at 12, I was reading something about tickle torture. I still fantasize about that kind of stuff six years later and it affects me the same way it always has... I guess I have a fetish." and that was that.

When I was quite young, maybe 6 I got tickled by someone. It excited me, I didn't know why. Later when I was maybe 7 I got my first experience as the Ler by pinning a girls arms above her head and tickling her into hysterics.

Now that I'm an adult I am in search of a woman that likes to be tickled as well as tickle.

I think it really crystalised when I saw the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland, when the flamingo tickles Alice with its feet. I think it was a fondness for tickling that was pre-sexual, as I found Alice merely 'pretty', but became sexual when I started noticing girls properly and how they were 'developing'. That's why I don't find feet, or the tickling of feet, arousing. They aren't what I identify as sexual, whereas breasts, the upper body, thighs and the pubic area are my favourite areas to tickle, because I've always associated them as sensual areas to be touched in non-tk lovemaking. I quite like the neck as well, which is usually very sensitive. Tickling is another method of foreplay for me.

A little late, but I need to chime in...

First memory:

It was bathtime at the babysitter's, with a little boy she was also babysitting. I was little, maybe 3 or 4, and I remember him being a little older. The babysitter started running the bath, undressed both of us, and for some reason had the bright idea to leave us alone in the bathroom, standing there naked. [...]

After that, any male I found attractive I wanted to tickle. And not just on the armpits or sides. There were fantasies of tickling the (cuter, younger) principal’s privates, and daydreams of all the cute boys in school being held down and tickled by some invisible force, usually with them naked and alone in their rooms.

At eight or nine, I'd had a dream that there was a certain log on the school playground, where if you straddled it, it would "tickle you there 'real bad.'" I remember sitting there, laughing because it tickled so horribly, but NOT wanting to get up from the log because the feeling was so DELICIOUS. In the dream, I also told the boy (who I was crushing on in real life) about the log, and watching him straddle the log, giggling uncontrollably and saying "It really tickles but I don't want it to stop!!"

It wasn't until I was much older that I realized I could very well have been having my first orgasms. :blush

At twelve years old, I was with my first boyfriend. (Come think of it, it’s almost twenty years ago to the day!) We were with another couple and sitting on the steps at some random building near our houses, with him seated in the step in front of me and between my legs. Everyone else was older than me, at least two or three years. We’d only been together a few weeks, though he’d already been tickled by me a number of times. (I remember that he, being extremely ticklish, would scream and squirm and beg me to stop—but he never actually tried to fight me off.) It was the perfect opportunity to attack his ribs with my fingers, so I did.

“No. Noo. NOOOOHOHOHOHOOO!! DON’T TICKLE MEEEEHAHAHAHAHA!!! STOP! *pant pant* STOP! STOOHOHOHOHOP! AAAAHHHHHHHHAHHHHAHAHAH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOHOHOHO!!!”

I brutally tickle-tortured his sides and armpits with my fingers, and when he tried to get away I trapped him by locking my legs around him. He was stuck! He screamed and flailed as I tickled where ever my hands could reach, while his “friends” laughed and egged me on.

Finally, I stopped. He leaned back on me, a quivering, panting mess.

“Should I keep going?” I grinned at our buds.

“Yes, keep going! Make him piss his pants!”

“NOOO!!”

I started at his ribs again, and this time my hands started to travel lower, not making it past his waistline because he kept bucking my hands away.

I stopped. Again. Asked my friends if I should keep going. Again. They showed no mercy and made it clear I shouldn’t, either.

I started again. But a moment later I was taken by surprise by this intense, pleasurable tingling sensation at the opening of my vagina. It took me a moment to realize I was actually becoming HORNY from tickling my boyfriend. 😱 (I think it had an effect on him too, because a short while later, took me to his room and made it clear he wanted to fuck me, NOW, REALLY BAD. I told him no (hey, I was TWELVE!), which was good because he ended up dumping me a month later. 😛 )

When I went to the bathroom, I found a LOT of moisture on my panties.

That was my first experience becoming “wet,” and that’s when I realized that I took sexual pleasure in tickling members of the opposite sex.

The end. 🙂

That game wouldn't happen to have been Super Mario RPG, would it? XD

I found out when i was about 12 or 13 although at first i thought "well im at the age were everything turns me on its probably nothing." But i soon found my self more focused on tickling and after a while it became pretty clear. At that time i thought "aw crap whats next.(or something like that.):sleep1:

 

[dragondrummer47]

Mine is interesting.... i actually started off hating tickling. i mean to the point it would make me really uncomfortable! even to hear or KNOW that someone was tickling or being tickled.... it... made me cringe and feel a peculiar feeling. I remember i had this weird, horrible dream that this weird leprachaun tickled my brother and brought him in behind a chair... That was around 11. I think it was a week or 2 after the dream and I was thinking about it. It was making me uncomfortable and i remember getting out of my bed and (strangely) going onto the internet, in the spare room where our computer was and checking it up on the internet. NOW, i know that is a completely strange, weird, diametrically opposed thing to do for someone who has a FEAR of tickling, but it's what i strangely did. Think i wanted to face that fear. The first website i stumbled across was realtickling.com. Back in the glory days of Priscilla James. I don't think that many videos had been made. There were 3 new clips and "One Sunday" was one of them. I remember getting hard and strangely it didn't seem so scary, but appealing. It just grew from there. Now, fortunately, my girlfriend, i was able to tell her and now she allows me to tickle her 🙂 it's awesome! 😀
