F/M lers, M/M lees ... ?

[ParanoidChant]

During my drunken escapades in the chatroom during the wee hours of the morning, I have noticed that more than just a few men that I've chatted with / hit on are completely straight and into tickling females ... but also have an interest in being tickled by guys.

Srsly. This is a trend that I've noticed for a while now. Does it strike anyone else as odd that someone could be completely straight sexually but be into homosexual tickling?

And if you happen to be one of the people I'm talking about, what's the attraction of it to you, if I may ask? I'm not judging, just curious.

For some people, the tickling fetish can transcend genders, like many other fetishes. Whom is tickling whom isn't so much the interest as is the actual tickling. Thats one way of looking at it at any rate.

I think some people just aren't concerned with the gender of the person tickling them. I think it's less frequent in men than it is in women, but still happens.

Also, tickling isn't sexual for everyone, or isn't sexual all the time. I'm a straight female lee, and I prefer m/f, but I can be tickled by a girl and have it be just silly, playful fun. So I assume there are men who prefer f/m, m/f, but can engage in m/m without it being a sexual experience for them.

For myself personally...

Even though tickling has nothing to do with sex for me, I'm not sure that I would want a female to tickle me.

I have never been comfortable with a female touching me other than the occasional quick hello hug between friends. Don't ask me why... I have no idea... but that's the way it is for me. Maybe it has to do with the fact that it was my mother who doled out the beatings and subconciously I associate females with discomfort... I have no idea... all I know is that I do not like nor want the touch of a female.

But I digress...

Because tickling is not a turn on... I don't look at it as a sexual act, but it is pretty personal considering I am allowing a person to invade my personal space and lay their hands on me... and if bondage is a part of that, then it becomes even more personal.

So... in my opinion, if there are folks who really don't care which gender does the tickling... good for them... it just expands the opportunities for them to be tickled and broadens their choices of who does it.

And to be tickled is always a good thing.

for me, I like girls, i like bondage and i like tickling. A combination of all 3 is best, but if i can only get out of 3 it better then nothing. Guys are sometimes easier to deal with then girls. less emotionally complicated, more willing to play with guys they barely know. I mean tickling isnt sex and i get turned on from anyone tickling me. I am strait, but for bondage an tickling its the bondage and tickling that turns me on. If the person doing it to me is a girl...even better but if not i can ignore that.

I wouldn't equivocate same-gender tickling with homosexual tickling.

I've read a number of stories-- even erotic stories-- involving guys tickling guys which sometimes include in sexual action. There are a few authors who have written within those parameters so well that I've been able to appreciate the eroticism of it based mostly on the psychological and power dynamics, without observing any biological attraction to any of the imagined characters or men in general.

 

[Perduabo]

Some people don't associate the act of tickling with any sot of sexual feelings, so they are comfortable with being tickled by both genders. Its all about tickling and having fun doing so, nothing more behind it.

As for me, I can't do that and can only participate in "serious" tickle sessions with men. Oh sure, I can tickle girls and vice-versa, but its just all in good fun. It never extends to anything more than a few seconds or so.

Serious Tickle Sessions

We are always looking for tickle friends to play with, and we also don't mind tickling or being tickled by the same gender.

Another dying thread.

I'm a straight guy, I think that my situation is pretty complicated, I love to tickle and be tickled by females, unfortunately I havent had much luck with females who love it as much as I do. I met a guy three years ago, he's 14 years older than me, he's gay and is a total tickle fanatic, he's also a dedicated foot fetishist. Well to cut a very long story short, he told me one day that he was crazy over my feet and that he wanted to play with them and tickle them. Somehow it aroused me and I conceded to let him do it. Its been three years now, on and off, and we have a totally fantastic relationship, straight/gay. I do not reciprocate in any way except tease him with my feet which he loves to bits, and he gets his erotic pleasure from playing with them and torturing me with tickling. I am strictly his tickle victim.

 

[SillyMan]

I also think, that in the case, that tickling is not sexual, but just playful fun, it can be done by any gender. I prefer to tickle or be tickled by females even if it's just for fun, and it's just my preference, there's nothing wrong with m/m at all.

I just think, that my experiences with m/m from my schooldays prevents me from liking that, and that's personal.

Respect! I could never engage into something like that with someone if I knew the person got turned on by it and I didn't.

I think that the "GAY" label makes a lot of guys nervous. Like all of the guys that will respond to this thread more to let everyone know that they are not gay rather than to talk about whether they like to be tickled or not.

Everyone has been tickled. Not every situation has followed some "homogenic" rule.

I have a friend that is definitely not gay. BUT...you take off his shoes, peel off his socks and his seriously ticklish feet are all yours. And yes, he loves to be tickled. But no other sexual activity would ever be considered. It just wouldn't happen. In fact it is very interesting to note that with all his macho attitude, he can be reduced to a whimpering baby by just a few strokes of his big, meaty soles.

Tickling is fun. The more you tickle a person the more fun you have. Some people are just missing out on all the fun.
