Ever Felt Alone With Your Fetish?

[mustang]

The folks who came up in pre-Internet days may appreciate this. Until I was 27 years old, I thought that I was the only person in the world with either a foot fetish or a foot-tickling fetish. I was deathly afraid of being exposed and then treated with universal loathing for being such a perv. This sense was augmented by the fact that I was a well-known football player, street fighter, and all round he-man hell raiser (I am talking about my misguided youth). So, now I am 27 and I am at a lake party with some party people. One of the girls was wearing short blue jean cut-offs, a halter top and was barefooted. I was secretly enjoying her hot bare feet when the guy I was with blurted out that he had a huge foot fetish. He was watching her too. I couldn't believe what he had said. I was not alone in this thing after all, but I was too freaked out and in the closet to respond to him. A while later, I was at a yard party with many of the same people. We were all sitting in lawn chairs in a big circle smoking weed, drinking beer, talking, laughing etc. when a guy I knew put his girlfriend's feet in his lap and began rubbing and scratching the soles of her feet. He announced to everyone, 'For some reason a woman's bare feet sex me up'. I was stunned, but no one there batted an eye. He kept doing his foot thing with her for at least half an hour. I still quaked in my closet. I couldn't bring myself to admit that I was a foot tickle perv for fear of imagined ridicule. I tickled a lot of feet in my life up till that point, but I acted like it was no big thing...certainly not sexual. About that time is when I hooked up with the girl that I dated for five years and talked about in some detail in previous posts. The fact that these two guys had divulged their thing for feet encouraged me and I was able to tell my new girlfriend all about my foot-tickling fetish and its sexual nature to me. I was finally becoming mentally free from my horror at being exposed. Total freedom eventually came with the Internet and the TMF forum. But, In regard to my true sexual nature I lived for 27 lonely years in morbid fear of being discovered. Can anybody else identify?

Sure. Of course.

Growing up , I thought there was absolutely no way that anyone else on THE PLANET felt about tickling the way I did. For quite a long while , I truly believed that I was "the only one".

It wasn't until my very late teens to early 20s when I became more active on what was still a fairly new internet scene & also able to patronize adult shops & 'discover' that there were videos that had tickling in them that I realized there were enough other people out there who shared my feelings on the matter.

I remember finally realizing & coming to terms w/the fact that I was NOT the only one being one of the more awesome & cool experiences/moments of my life.

Once I figured out what I was feeling, I never really thought I was alone or that it was weird. Even before we had the internet. Guess I watched a lot of Law and Order: SVU and figured in comparison, tickling was pretty much no big deal.

I can definitely identify with this. Try growing up in the 60's. Back then if they didn't understand something it was immediately branded as sick, twisted, perverted and let's not forget "sinful". I actually read as a child that a foot fetish was a bizarre ritual that was performed by African cannibals just before they ate their captive missionaries. Of course that was designed to give poor guys like me visions of stirring big cauldrons and having severed feet rise to the top. Now try going to school and sitting in a classroom where your teacher changes her shoes to put on her boots to go outside in the winter for recess. Seeing her pretty nylon covered feet and figuring that your getting turned on by cannibalism. We can be pretty cruel sometimes. Of course while you were questioning your own sanity all you had to do is look around and you would have noticed a little something. Other kids were staring at her feet too.

It used to scare me when people started talking about bare feet. It was as though they find out my secret. So I was very awkward on those types of conversations. Scared that if anyone found out I loved seeing pretty bare feet that I would be shipped off to mental institution and given shock treatments (very popular back then). But again, if you just think back to all the things that you have experienced you start to remember how many people you saw looking at a pretty pair of feet in sandals, how many people stopped and looked when a woman would take off her shoe and adjust her padded insole. I remember once seeing my neighbor relaxing on a lawn chair in the summer. She was wearing shorts and barefoot. The mailman walking up her sidewalk looked over and saw those gorgeous soles. He actually stepped of the sidewalk, handed her the mail, then ran his fingers across those bare soles. I heard him say, "Sorry, I couldn't resist". She giggled and he went back to delivering the mail. I guess he couldn't let that moment pass without doing something about it.

As I got older the exposure to pretty bare feet got greater. I remember the famous Playboy magazine being rather disappointing. Nice models but there was always a pillow or blanket or bedpost blocking the view of the models bare feet. Other magazines did the same thing. Lots of tits and ass but the feet were still a mystery. They I discovered Leg Show Magazine. In the days before the Internet, this was it guys. Not only pictures that focused on the bare feet of the models but tickling scenes as well. Then I discovered more magazines and found out that adult bookstore had tickling videos. It was a very long and slow journey but much of what is available for free on the net had to be purchased late night at the local sex shop. I never imagined that there would be sites like TMF.

Now I realize that there were lots of us out there all the time. Welcome to the 21st Century.

I thought I was the only one with this fetish until I saw a report about it in a sex documentary.

 

[closettickle]

My husband is beginning to tell some of our friends and couples we hang out with that he has a "thing" for my feet and tickling me. I'm cool with that and I'm proud to be his wife. I can't imagine all those years he had kept it a secret. With all the freaky shit people are doing nowadays. .. we both kinda feel like if people think we are gross, weird or whatever, they are just not open minded, which is fine with us.

 

[BBGuy5240]

Yes. I seriously thought that something was wrong with me. Because I thought that people would just jump to conclusions, and just label me as a Freak.

I'm glad I found this Place. And that I can talk to people who share similar Interests. Because it took me a long time to really accept this as part of Me.

I agree with closettickle, there are much weirder/freakier things that people are into nowadays.

But I still worry about what others would think. I don't think I'll ever stop feeling that way.

bigbear, that post is a scream. You put things well and even humorously. I am a fellow 'Boomer' and suffered through the same Dark Age. I too discovered 'Leg Show' magazine as well as a few others. I almost hyperventilated the first time I saw one of those. At the time, it was a dream come true. I would wait until the shop was empty and then buy the magazines feeling completely embarrassed. The first time I bought these magazines the clerk smiled at me and told me to have a good time when I left. That kind of freaked me out. Get a load of this. When I bought my first computer I was completely ignorant of what you could find on it. I was watching a talk show on TV when one of the participants said that a person could find anything of a sexual nature that they wanted on the Internet. At the time, I thought that it was a long shot but I got right up and entered something like 'bare feet' or maybe 'ticklish feet' in the search engine of my computer. Life has not been the same since. And, then I discovered the existence of foot tickling clips. The first for me was 'Feetonline'. The first foot tickling clip that I bought almost caused me to lose consciousness from erotic overload...it was an even bigger dream come true. Then the icing on the cake came with the discovery of TMF and Clips4sale. I am sometimes tempted to kick myself for wasting so much time that could have been spent indulging my fetish, but then again I have to remember the foot fetish Dark Age that existed in the pre-Internet culture I grew up in. Yes, it has been a slow process of discovery as well as a slow process of getting out of the closet so that you can enjoy all the hot things that you can do with a sexy pair of feet and not feel like a weirdo about it. Young foot-tickling fetishists don't really know how good they have it. Many of them grew up in a world where foot-tickling clips are readily accessible and lots of fellow foot guys to communicate with in forums. If I were younger I would start my own clip store just for the fun of it. Having the chance to use your imagination to act out all of your foot tickling fantasies on countless sexy feet would be reward enough.

I completely relate to this, I don't really have a thing for tickling, but I have a huge foot fetish. And I'm very lucky that my girlfriend has a tickling fetish and very sexy feet 🙂 well I don't feel lucky when she has me strapped down. The tickling fetish she has is so extreme and just awesome

I never felt alone. However I never really knew the true extent of my fetish until I was with my boyfriend. He made it so easy to be me and experience my fetish. It's so awesome he has a foot fetish because he gets the intensity

 

[crap_game]

Dam straight I felt ALONE! Growing up in the 70's the amount of material available to satiate my foot tickling fetish was in short supply. I was cracking up when I saw you guys talking about Leg Show Magazine. Remember the tickling stories in the front of the mag? LOL. I can honestly say I have NEVER met another foot tickling fetishist in person. The husband of my wife's best friend told me like 10 years ago that he was lucky to have married his wife and she even has pretty feet and that he couldn't date a woman who didn't have pretty feet. Now, I wrote a story about how I burried his wife and mine in the sand and tickled their feet. He was upset to find out I released her from her predicament saying "Man I would have loved to tickle her feet!" I have to believe he's one of us but I doubt he's on this page.
I know his wife has nice feet and they are crazy, insanely uber ticklish. My wife's feet are much prettier than her's and nearly but not quite as ticklish. While I have playfully and innocently tickled his wife's feet he has never tickled my wife's feet. This leads me to suspect he may NOT be one of us. Heck, I've never even caught him checking out my wife's feet. If he was one of us there is no way he could help himself. Don't get me wrong, I don't think my wife's cute little feet are the be all end all but man, there is no way one of us could resist a peek or a quick tickle.

 

[SadCuzNotTcklsh]

Yes Yes Yes and YES!

and i still feel alone.... 🙁

 

[Sandrock74]

To answer the question: yes, while growing up, I figured that I was alone in having any sort of interest in tickling. All these years later and I'm still alone, but I know I'm not all alone.

All these years later and I'm still alone, but I know I'm not all alone.

LOL!

I was in the same boat as you Mustang, around 27 is when I decided to just be open about it to women I was dating, never got to deep into it as most of them were never really ticklish (just bad luck).

I just started dating a woman who hates being tickled, it was brought up casually and I thought...Ok, this could be really bad. She really likes me and we start talking about our secret turn-ons and I told her, I have a ticklish fetish, feet being my favorite spots. She happen to be into being tied up, so she had some understanding of our fetish.
Long story short, she enjoys it with me now (very ticklish! Thank God!) I may not feel alone anymore because of the TMF but it's hard to find the right person that is open-minded enough to try it. The world is huge, you just have never stop trying to find that person that is willing to share your fetish with you.

Yes I still feel alone I don't get out much because I am on dialisis and I need a kidney transplant so it is hard for me to meet new people and posable someone I can share my fetish and love of tickling

 

[ReefMD]

I've felt alone most of my life, until the last couple of months. It's hard to explain it to potential SO's because (1) it's unconventional, and (2) it's kinda relatively vanilla. Plus it doesn't help that I don't feel like I can be open about it. Though, even though I'm a lee I need a ticklish partner... nothing sexier than making a man squeal and him tickling me so much that I am soaking wet. There are no local tickle kinksters near me that I've been able to find which makes it even more frustrating.

 

[FeatherEndeavor]

I started noticing feet at a very young age (around 3 or 4). It wasn't until I was 12 years old that I was watching some TV show where there were a bunch of people in a hot tub and one of the men was playing with women's feet underwater. After a couple foot fetish jokes within the show my Mom who was sitting next to me said, "Yeah, there's actually people out there that like feet! Can you believe that?" I thought, "Wait. It's not just me? You mean this is like a thing?" But because of the way my Mom said it it just pushed me further back in the closet. Wasn't until my late teens and early 20's that I started to meet other people that like feet that I slowly started to feel more comfortable with my feelings.

Then in college there was a woman in my group of friends that would not only do surprise tickle attacks on people but she'd make herself vulnerable right after she'd do it. She'd tickle somebody and then she'd run over to the bed and flop down in this spread eagle pose like, "Come and get me!" Then when the person would tickle her back she never fought or resisted. She'd just lay there staring up at the ceiling laughing her ass off. That's the first time I realized there were other people into tickling.

So basically you're not the only person who thought you were the only one. I even talked to a fetish model a few months back that says she's talked to lots of people that thought they were the only ones up until a certain point. You're not alone, not by far.

Alone and happily so.

It is absolutely typical of our species when not understanding something, to become fearful of it.
I suppose I knew for a while about it. I will always remember a time that me and my brother wouldn't stop tickling the feet of my uncle's girlfriend. In the end she ran away so it soon stopped that. This would of been when I was a child, and then it was not until secondary school that I started noticing girls shoe playing in class and I found that slightly distracting. However even though I saw a lot of bare feet under desks which I found oddly distracting at the time, it was only really when I got my first girlfriend that I began to notice that I had this strange fetish. I have never really felt alone with it because I generally keep things to myself. However the older I got the more I realized that it was more common than I thought. My best friend at the time talked about it, and we even had a conversation about the amount of boys in our year at school he had seen tickling girls. My first girlfriend's best friend told me to tickle her, and from that point I fully realized it.

These days I find that it is becoming more common every day. Men certainly seem to be looking more obviously at women's feet, and even some women are beginning to flaunt it.

I read all of these posts and I feel for every one of you. I grew up in the 90's and as most of you felt all alone. That is until my first computer and realized there were so many out there like me. I think it is a great fetish to have, and have been married for the last 10 years to an awesome wife that loves foot fetishes, but I never forgot what it was like to feel alone with my fetish. I am liing the complete opposite now and not for one day do I take it for granted. I have a very hot sexy wife, and her amazing feet to enjoy anytime I want them!
