Do you hate your fetish?

[braniacmaniac11]

I do not like my fetish at ALL. It makes me feel like a bad person, and I don't know what to do. Every day I'm growing more and more curious; there's no limit to the sick stuff I think. Things like anthro, and even the concept of bondage, things I'd never even imagined existed, now just give me a strange feeling inside that leaves me incredibly intrigued, yet on a strange level of self-loathing. Can anyone help, or share their opinions?

Don't become obsessed with feelings of guilt and self-loathing. When they occur, try to observe them instead of being wrapped up in them. They don't define who you are. Your fetish(es) don't define who you are.

It's the dogma of so-called moral society (the thing where you get stepped on every day and treated l,ike a turd coz you're slightly different) that makes you feel bad... maybe? at the end of the day what two or more concenting adults do with each other is their own business. it's only bad if someone's being hurt either physically or emotionally, all the time and with intent.

I will admit to being bothered by the sexual side of my tickle fetish, takes all the fun out of it for me, but then I am not with a lass at the moment, so maybe that's why it bothers me.

We are who and what we are.

In time, with support, and the friends that you have or will make here, you will begin to feel more comfortable with your tickle fetish.

Hey pal
Don´t worry. I had the same feelings when I just discovered my fetish.
They disappeared from time to time. And I think it will be the same with you.

I felt weird about it too. I certainly never admitted it to anyone, though I would try my damnedest to get myself into a position of being tickled. It took meeting the right person and an incredible amount of trust before I admitted it to anyone. Now ... WOW! My sex life has never been more intense. (hope I didn't break any posting rules ...)

There is nothing wrong with feeling that way. It's slightly normal/common. But, you should never once 'feel bad' about enjoying the things that you enjoy, You we're dealt the hand that you we're dealt for a reason.. So, just dive in there and enjoy.

Soak up all the information on your interests that you can, and just TALK to people who enjoy the same thing's you do. We are out here, and we do share some of the same interests in that aspect as you. 🙂

And having a imagination is most certainly not wrong by any means at all, either. It means your functioning. 😉

Have fun with it ! If you dwell too much on the negative, then several oppourtunities to excersie your passions may slip right by you. 🙂

 

[tcklft]

I enjoy my fetish quite a bit!

 

[EmbraceSerenity]

When I first discovered my like for the issue I did some research. And it turns out its perfectly natural for some people to enjoy being tickled or tickling others. Of course with others, its more sexual or more elaborate. But Ive come to realise that we are who we are, and it doesnt make us bad people. We just have a passion so we should accept it and enjoy it!

 

[method11236]

Just be happy you have a tickle fetish: tickling is common, normal, cute and even people who aren't into it can have fun with it.

I will admit, some fetishes must really suck to have because, well, they're weird.

 

[drew70]

If you were into pedophelia, or golden and brown showers, I'd say yeah, you ought to be feeling bad about that.

But tickling? It's one of the most benign fetishes in the world. I thank God for a lifetime of wonderful tickling experiences and the people with whom I've shared them.

 

[His Divine Shadow]

In some ways I suppose yes. I am not a social person at all and having a fetish of this sort causes great pains when it comes to ticklings in the real world. On the one hand there exists much desire to give and get (mostly get) some tk action; on the other hand I am terribly shy and do not enjoy socializing of any form. The two are mutually exclusive, hence why I can count the number of times I have been tickled and/or tickled others on one hand (with a finger or two missing). Add the shyness/antisocial behavior to the fact that I find it a bit against my sense of morality (but then I find the idea of sex/relationships of any kind disgusting so make of that what you will) to engage in tickling and I am effectively neutered in real life. The desire doesn't leave, however, and that can be a truly bothersome annoyance.

I do enjoy it immensely for the grand imaginings I concoct surrounding it. My imagination concocts tk I would never engage in outside of it, and that I am glad to have. Daydreamin' of tk is a splendid way to pass the time. Don't know what I'd have done all these years without my imagination to lend fun to my mental wanderings; granted, much of the need for imagination comes from refusing to engage in tk outside of my brain. Circuitous, eh? 😀

EDIT: Clarify a something I said. The "against my sense of morality" bit applies only to myself. I am of the opinion that so long as actions of others are between consenting adults I've no business judging them. I do judge myself, however, hence the line.

Every day I'm growing more and more curious; there's no limit to the sick stuff I think. Things like anthro and bondage

So you're saying that bondage is sick? What does it say about people who are into bondage, of which there are plenty on this forum? Also, pardon my ignorance, but what's anthro?

 

[nosforatiop]

I think you have to ask yourself one question: Am I hurting anyone (who doesn't want to be hurt)? If the answer is no I don't think you have a problem. If you are not the norm in your sexuality there are people who will always treat you like you're wierd; but that's not your fault. On the flipside you'd be suprised as to how many people can be accepting. You are what you are and you didn't ask to be this way, there's no reason to hate yourself.
My advice would be to embrace your fetishes and have fun with them, just be safe and tactful.

Also, pardon my ignorance, but what's anthro?

Anthropomorphic animal characters. Furry is the common internet slang. Wikipedia may prove useful, as it sometimes is for internet-centered things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropomorphism

you are who you are, embrace it

 

[Comfort Eagle]

Hell no.

On the flip side, anyone feel kind of cool with it?

 

[dskodj]

you are who you are, embrace it

short and sweet, but i couldnt have said it better myself. to hell with what the common socciety's eye thinks..just because its not common or "normal" in the book of those idiots, doesnt mean you should feel guilty or hate it...cause you obviously love it or it wouldnt be a fetish of yours. and think...10-15 years ago the common basic foot fetish was concidered "fucked up", "unknown", or just "your a weirdo" in the masess eye...but look at that now, its as common in masses as rap (oops i mean C-rap) music. Get my drift? Be proud and enjoy it! You've got a whole community backing you here..and theres thousands of us!

 

[Phineas]

You really need to read this.

 

[AffectionateDan]

Hate it? Hell no.

Although, back when I thought I was alone in all this, that I was a lone pervert and nobody else in the world could POSSIBLY share this with me, I was ashamed of it. But I still accepted it about myself, even then. But that was another lifetime ago.

 

[LD_Tickler]

Absolutely I hate my fetish. If I could, I'd wish it away in a matter of seconds, shoot it, burn it, behead it, salt the earth so it could never grow again.

Do I feel guilty? No, I haven't made any choices so I have nothing to feel guilty about. I don't think I'm sick either. My fantasies are, because they extend into some dark, sexual, "life sentence" style desires. But I can't be sick unless I act. Any kind of thought control, even guilting yourself over thoughts and fantasies, is stupid. Feel guilty or sick for what you do, not what you feel.

That said, returning to my earlier fetish hating statements, I hate my fetish because it's a fucking complication. Whenever I get involved with a girl it becomes an issue... should I tell her, when should I tell her, can I trust her... etc etc, not to mention sex in general is simply LESS enjoyable without catering to my fetish, which in the instance of the odd one-night stand, isn't an option.

So yeah, I'd prefer to be normal. Not because I have some kind of ideological reverence for the norm and the mainstream, but simply for the uncomplicated, easier life it would be.

Love who you are my foot. Some things about us would be better if they were different.

Realism.

Love it.

Bam.

I don't hate my fetish or the fact that I have a fetish, I think I was meant to have it. What I do hate is what I do because of my fetish. Much the same, I don't hate the fact that I find girls attractive, I hate what I sometimes do and/or think about as a result of that attraction.

 

[iostream]

i dont hate my fetish
but i am rather unhappy about the light other people with the same fetish cast upon the rest of us. what light? oh the one of 'creepiness'

i doubt tickling would be considered as creepy or loathsome if half the community or whatnot didnt get so unbearably obsessed about it

yah tickling is cool and everything but do you really need to leave a "NEXT TIME TICKLE MORE FEET" on some college girl who uploaded a tickling video with absolutely no fetish content? no, you dont, its creepy

Ah, ok, now I know what it means. I just wasn't familiar with that particular term. Thank you.

thats an awsome post..dont remember seeing it before, but your are the man!

 

[milagros317]

No, I don't hate my fetishes (or interests, as I would call them) at all. My advice would be to accept your sexuality as long as it involves only consenting adults. Accept it and enjoy it.
