Ever wish you could get rid of your fetish?

[cmike361]

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy tickling and I have had a lot of great experiences. But sometimes it feels like it takes on too big a role in my life. My partner is not into it, so I find myself looking elsewhere to scratch the itch, and it would likely be a lot easier if I didn't have this overwhelming desire to be tickled or tickle others and have sexual interactions related to tickling.

Just wondering if anyone has ever felt a similar way?

I think it is very common to feel this way. I’m sure most of us have encountered the same scenarios, I know I have. Are you not free to explore this what your partner?

At times yes but not always. Same for the sexual interactions.

I'd say that's a pretty reasonable feeling when it comes to any niche kink. But I don't think I'd change it for anything else. Does it make finding a partner difficult? Yes. But does it really effect my day to day? Not really. So don't feel too ashamed. You're surrounded by people who get it lol

If you would have asked me that question 20 years ago I would said no but today I'm not so sure. Tickling for me is a large part of my sexual identity. Just as someone may define their idenity in their sexual orientation as being gay, straight, bi, etc..., I saw my sexual identity as oriented toward tickling. It was so important to me that to be without it would mean that I was something different than I was. I have no doubt that things would have been easier for me romantically if I didn't have the fetish but the thought of not having it was worse. I have always been perfectly capable of sex without tickling but it always seemed like I was not realizing who I really was.
Fast forward to today. I'm approaching 60 and my drive is healthy, but as Just That put it, it doesn't really affect my day to day. Because it no longer has the grip on me that it used to, I can be objective and admit that I would have been ok without it and would have had an easier time of it.

I tried to push it all the way down in the past, but it ended up coming back stronger than ever. It's a massive part of my life now. I think that I have to accept it and embrace it, because I really can't help it. Fortunately as fetishes go, it's pretty innocent

Yes, when I get really down. Add to it that I am also gay, so the dating pool just keeps on shrinking.
