Does it make you sad that most people hate being tickled?

There is a youtube video with this guy interviewing women on how they would feel if their boyfriend was into feet or into tickling feet. They all were for the most part okay when it came to the foot fetish. However, when it came to the tickling, every single one of them was like “Fuck no!”. Honestly, I’m not sure why it bothers me anymore, Im happily married and my wife accepts it. I think it triggers things from my youth when I hear people say certain things. It reminds me of how alone I felt because most women hated being tickled.

That old 'psychology' is sometimes inexplicable .... to be sure !
I have another post about the psychology of tickling, how our brain is wired differently for different things...some is pure physical nerve tracts in the brain..some is 'learned' or adaptive behavior from our experiences ...

That mind melting love/hate sensation with tickling ...being tickled can for some be a powerful desire, need, craving......And I've delivered that sensation as a tickler to play partners ... all without any sexual connotations at all...I am in that category of having a tickling 'fixation'..

Some HAVE to have tickling as part of their sexual satisfaction (the true fetishists or kinksters, I guess 😊)....
neither is wrong or right per se...its all what we want or become accustomed to...

The love/hate sensations with BEING tickled is very similar to sensual edging....prolonged overwhelming sensations that we seek to find a definitive ending ......and our minds / brains can't separate the two in some cases...
The Lee does want it to end eventually...for the endorphin bath after the exciting adrenaline rush during the tickling...Same situation with sensual pleasures....

That connection though is why you can, with care and respect, sometimes introduce someone to the tickling fixation, and 'guide' them into exploring that side of their personality...

You seem to be a scientist lol! Do you have a degree in tickling?

Ah, that makes sense to me. I have carried a wavering residual sense of loneliness or sadness, for lack of a better term, over the years from the sense of knowing the fixation is very rare (so less to do with "hate" and more to do with them not being anywhere near as interested as me). That feeling is nothing even remotely clinically significant or anything like that, but just a weird feeling in the back of my mind related to that fact. Even now, being married to a ticklephile and knowing others in real life, it still pops up now and then, reminding me that, relatively speaking, we are a very small group scattered across the broad expanse of the globe.
