Do "vanilla" women see ticklish men as unattractive?

[megaticklish]

Is being a ticklish guy who reacts with squrims and giggles when tickled something that is generally considered unattractive or is it just a neutral or "cute" to women who don't have a tickle fetish in general?

I don’t wish to pour scorn on this thread; to wonder how non-ticklephiles view various issues surrounding tickling is a perfectly natural impulse, I think. But it does strike me as odd when people start talking about “vanilla” people as though they were a real thing lol. As though we can lump together all those who don’t have this fetish, and if only they would get on and elect a spokesperson, then we could find out what they really think of us! lol

If I had to guess, I would say there would be a small percentage who see it as a negative (because they feel it undermines a man’s masculinity or whatever), a small percentage who see it as a positive (because they think it’s cute and another way of extending a sense of intimacy and whatnot), and then a much, much larger percentage who really couldn’t give a damn either way.

Again, hopefully that doesn’t sound too harsh! Also, it might be worth mentioning that the only thing this comment has going for it is common sense lol. There may be people who have experienced otherwise, I dunno.

Also, it’s times like these that I regret giving myself a silly username. lol

Didn't we have this thread on here nearly word for word not long ago?

On that note no, I've never heard or have witnessed a woman being that turned off by ticklishness. of someone they were already attracted to, anyway.

That's ..... A good question.
I'm a female - but also a ticklephile, so I'm a tad bias...
Personaly, I'd see it as really cute and sexy <3

Sadly, most people don't think tickling as sexy.
But... Ticklish guys, who actually liked it ? 😉 heheh, yeah I think that's soo hott!
I've never dated a guy who liked being tickled, they all loved tickling me - but whenever I'd do it back, they never liked it.

As far as I can tell, my past boyfriend all thought it was cute / sexy how I liked being tickled,
So I imagine "vanillia" women would think the same thing about ticklish guys.
Idk for sure, as I said - I'm a little bias (having a tickle fetish myself) 🙂 hehe

I'd imagine it's somewhere between "that's cute/funny" and "that's normal".
Can't imagine any girl I know personally thinking "That dude sucks, he giggles when he's tickled".
That's like, what people do when they're tickled.
Many if not most would think it's a semi-cute thing he does when they're cuddling and light tickling happens, but the feeling doesn't run very deep.

I'd wager it doesn't even register on a "vanilla" woman's radar to even give it much thought.

I don't know why being ticklish would mean anything to a "vanilla" person. It's an uncontrollable physical reaction that the vast majority of people experience, kind of splitting hairs if you want to take that as a turn off when it holds no sexual value to you.

I mean, it's totally fair if that does turn you off. I just don't know why it would matter. If you don't like how someone reacts to being tickled, don't tickle them?

Actually the only kind of woman who cares or even notices how a male reacts when tickled is likely to have ticklephile tendencies herself!

But the question of how female ticklephiles perceive it, rather than female vanilla people, is one that has occupied me. As a male tickler of females I try with difficulty to understand what it is like to be in the reverse role - female tickler of male lees. Previous threads have explored this a bit. It seems they are not put off at all. Quite the opposite. Shouldn't surprise us.

In my experience, most women who don't attach sexual importance to tickling have tended to find my ticklishness surprising, but cute and/or endearing; with the women I was dating or trying to flirt with, it was definitely an asset in its weird way. Someone discovers it and gasps or laughs and announces with delight "Wade is ticklish!" and it becomes an excuse for them to lavish a lot of focused attention on me for a little while.

There was one time when I was much younger when I was trying to flirt with a girl and my cousins ambushed me and tickled me into hysterics and by the time they stopped she had disappeared, so I guess it didn't impress her very much.

Also, I caught up with a woman I dated in college, years later; she'd used to tickle me in college sometimes and so I asked if her husband now is ticklish and she seemed surprised; she indicated to me that my ticklishness had been fun and everything but she couldn't see herself married to someone who was that ticklish; her husband was more manly than that, I guess? Or more mature? So that conversation was a mild bummer.

Depends on his reaction to her tickling. If he laughs, she'll likely dig him. If he shits his pants, I'm thinking not so much.

Wise words. Pants-shitting is generally frowned upon in the world of dating, I believe. lol

I don't think they care, really. Of course girlfriends I've tickled wanted a tickle in here and there.
