Family Tickling Situations

[immortalmelody]

Hello all you lees, and lers, and everyone in between. c:

I was just wondering if any of you have a problem (that I seem to have) about family tickling. It feels inappropriate to me, even though I know that it's not. When someone from my family tries to tickle me, it feels as if they are reading my diary out in public, just for everyone to see, which gives me this repulsive feeling, and I just can't handle it. I have to get out of the situation ASAP.

That being said, I LOVE being tickled. That is not the question. But perhaps it is such a playfully sexual thing that it turns my stomach. Does anyone else have this issue? Thoughts?

I think a lot of folks have this problem. Most, in fact, who have the actual fetish, at least. As for me, I'm utterly grossed out by the aspect of family touching me that way. For me, it's just not an innocent act. I don't care for someone else telling me about what happened at a family gathering, either. It's just not my thing.

When someone who is not a potential sex partner tickles me, it feels like sexual abuse to me.

My family is convinced that I hate being tickled and that it makes me angry and hateful. So they don't do it, I put this in place a looooong time ago. Best way around it in my opinion.

Yeah I had a super awkward moment like last week at my boyfriends house. I was telling my boyfriends dad about skin analysis I learned in class. Testing for elasticity for hydration and last is skin sensitivity and his dad went "skin sensitivity? You mean like this?" and he grabbed my boyfriends wrist and tickled him under his arm and I felt my stomach turn and said "no... not like that".
My family really doesn't tickle me which I'm grateful for!
It feels so wrong when his parents tickle him though!

Yeaaa...I just feel totally creeped out when family tries to tickle me/tickles another family member in front of me. I remove myself from the situation asap. It’s just wrong to me.

Thank God I'm not the only one that thinks this. There's also some times when the word "tickle" comes up and I feel really awkward even though no one knows about my fetish, such as the Family Guy scene from the episode where Quagmire tries to sleep with Meg and he starts tickling her. I was eating dinner with my family and I just had to look away from the TV.

I hear ya compadre, I get a weird feeling when anything involving tickling happens within my family. I'm def assuming it is because tickling is a turn on, I get repulsed that something that turns me on would occur with my family.

 

[robmic]

WOW! I never realized that there were so many people out there that didn't like being tickled by a family member or seeing someone in their family tickled. One thing I do see, is it seems that all these folks have a sexual feeling when it comes to tickling. Myself, I don't relate tickling to sex unless it's with someone that I would have sex with. Otherwise, it's two totally different things to me. I love tickling as tickling, period! Doesn't matter to me who is doing it, or who is being tickled. If someone is laughing, I'm ok with it. But, that's what makes the world go round. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and should be respected for it.

Thankfully my family is not a very touchy family and never tickle eachother. I would be uncomfortable with seeing any of my family members tickled or having any of them tickle me. Tickling is a sexual thing for most of us here I would imagine and I don't want my family anywhere near something I consider sexual.

 

[Hypnoticklish]

When I watch my family get tickled, it's as bad as watching them in an orgy. It's really disturbing. I like zone out and mutter "nononono...." as if I'm watching them get murdered. And it sucks because my cousin is really into tickling. I think the fetish is genetic, but he hasn't realized it's a turn on at his age. Every time that little shit is around, someone has to endure. And it's usually the really young kids in my family so that's an extra layer of horror. I feel dirty when I see family or any young children get tickled. It's your favorite thing mixed with incest or pedophilia and it really freaks me out.

 

[DontAskJusTckle]

Doesn't bother me in the slightest. I think it's kind of cool, actually.

 

[immortalmelody]

Oh my gosh, all of your replies have really made me feel a lot better. c: I wasn't sure if I was in the minority about that, or what. Yes, even when the word 'tickle' comes up, I feel as if I should leave immediately, like its a taboo subject that should not be breached among that kind of company. Thank you all for your wonderful feedback!

Tickling is a form of intimacy and some families are less averse to touching than others. And for the majority of people tickling does not have a sexual connection but is seen more as innocent play, or depending on the circumstances, someone(s) being mean like the cousins ganging up on a ticklish cousin. Those of us for whom tickling has special meaning react completely differently than the rest of the world, just as you do immortalmelody just to the word "tickle." Hopefully you can just discreetly absent yourself from the family tickle fights and not draw attention to how deeply tickling affects you.

Add me to the growing list of responders who says, "I see I'm not the only one." I'm from a family of ticklers on my mother's side. I compare family tickling to tickling with girlfriends like I compare incest to lovemaking - the person with whom it happens makes all the difference. Thanks for raising the topic.

The only exception I might make is tickling between sisters. One sister tickling another might not be the same to the ticklee as it is for being a boy or girl getting tickled by a brother, as women value communication more and tickling can convey affection. But I'm from a family of all boys, and while I have few memories of my older brothers tickling me, none are good.

And I know the tickling in every family of all girls wasn't fun for some. I dated a girl who was the youngest of three sisters who more than once told me, "My sisters used to pin me down and tickle me, and I hated it." She was super-ticklish and carried her hatred of getting tickled out of the home; not being able to get away with tickling her much was frustrating.

Me and my mom are the only members of my family so we've got really close, being tickled by her is like a friend tickling me. The only thing that reminds me that she's my mom is that she knows what tickles me the most and knows where I'm most ticklish to least ticklish.

Oh good, someone else said what I wanted to say. That way I don't have to. If someone in my family tickled me, I'd probably smack them. Graaanted, my mom used to tickle my feet in the morning sometimes when she came in to wake me up and they were exposed, but I hadn't quite put two and two together back then, and besides, I was always so out of it that early in the morning it didn't do anything anyway.

 

[Jhitman112]

Yes I agree its an awkward feeling and ugh I immediately remove myself from the room!!!!

Agree 100%.

For me there is tickling and then there is tickling with my wife. Two separate feeling and reactions. I've been tickled by female friends many times without the desire to have sex with them! LOL!

I don't tickle family members. It ruins the whole tickling experience for me.

 

[babysmackbbg]

UHH! I AM THE SAME! watching my family tickle others or mention it makes me cringe because i think of it soooo much differently then them! glad im not the only one!

 

[redheadlady]

Me too, makes me super uncomfortable. Thought I was the only 1.

Plain in simple. In my opinion. If you get aroused and/or have a tickle fetish, then it is wrong and creepy to do that with family. Think of it as seeing your sister naked. Would you get turned on? If so, you're a little fucked up.

If you don't get aroused by it (which is unlikely because of the nature of this website that you're on) then, I see it as a normal, playful thing.

Ever since I have found out about "tickling" it has ruined the whole innocent aspect of it for me. I would be a little offended and grossed out if someone with a fetish as this came to my house to hang out and began tickling my 4 year old son, knowing that this type of thing turns them on. That would piss me right off.

I know there's nothing weird about it to them (and it doesn't really happen too often in my family) but I always feel EXTREMELY uncomfortable watching, I always try to get away from the situation as quickly as possible.
