I'm certain a similar thread like this has been done in the past but a cursory search failed to find it so I thought I'd start a new one.

What event or events kick-started your interest in tickling?

For me, I don't think there was one single road to Damascus moment but I do remember when I was very young (am I allowed to allude to childhood memories?) that I thought tickling was really sinister - very often in cartoons and kids' TV programs tickling was used as a form of punishment or coercion and in my experience it was invariably male characters who were on the receiving end. For some reason this troubled me, especially when it was women dishing out the punishment. I'd go as far to say as I hated seeing tickling in mainstream media although I can't really put my finger on the reason why.

Then, gradually things changed because I saw more and more media and real-life examples of female victims and whenever I witnessed these I was transfixed - I'd get these really pleasant chills in my stomach. There was something incredibly, indescribably exciting about a woman being overpowered and losing her dignity as she struggled and laughed against her will while her tickle spots were poked and probed and she pleaded for mercy.

I'm sure like most people here in the pre-internet days, I was convinced that I was utterly peculiar and told no-one. It must have been '97 when I discovered that while it wasn't exactly a common fixation, it wasn't unheard of either and pretty much everything that my feverish imagination could dream up had already been done! I think I was relieved and disappointed in equal measure to learn that there was such a thing as a tickling fetish. Part of me took solace in being a freak. 😉

It still took me a long time to come to terms with my enthusiasm for tickling and I still treated it as my closely guarded secret. Still do, in fact - took me 12 years to pluck up the courage to tell my wife about it!

What's your story?
 
I discovered my fondness for tickling over several years, but it was always something I saw as a kind of foreplay, rather than fetish, but definitely a turn-on. I think it was Alice in Wonderland, when Alice is tickled by the flamingo, although I thought Alice was pretty anyway. I don't get turned on by seeing someone unattractive get tickled, so it's not the tickling itself, but the laughter and reaction to it from the attractive, and nowadays large-breasted, 'lee.
 
It's a tough question to answer for a lot of us, I think. For me, it goes back a LONG way. I was just fascinated by tickling by the time I was three or four. No idea why. Though I did sort of notice girls pretty young, so maybe it was a way of dealing with that in a way a kid could understand.

The Raggedy Ann movie had a HUGE effect in really fixing tickling in my mind as "a thing." (I liked the Alice in Wonderland scene, too!) After that, I started thinking about it a lot. When the hormones started really kicking in later, I started fantasizing about tickling girls I liked. And it just went from there.
 
Just sort of started at school when i was a child.

In my teens when engaging in horse play and using fore play with the girl friend.

Developed into adult life when i found a partner who was very ticklish, and i found the laughter and giggles a torn on.
 
Well, when I was about 3 or 4 I had a REALLY mean babysitter (locked me in the basement and barely let me come upstairs) and that lasted til at most the end of my fourth year of life. Then I got a new babysitter who was 10 when I was 4 and she was really pretty, and had this thing about jumping on me and tickling me. I think I liked the fact that I was experiencing pleasure and laughter apart from pain. After that when I was about 5, I went to school and started kindergarten. I remember as clear as day that I liked this one girl, Katilyn. She was a girl I just wanted to be around, of course, I didn't know about boyfriend and girlfriends back then. She liked me, I liked her. But, me and Katie were friends and I really wanted to tickle her for some reason (I had a couple of times) but I would literally have dreams about tickling her as a child. And it seemed that she only let me tickle her. Whenever somebody else did, she'd get mad but not at me. I just knew I liked tickling her and making her laugh. At about 6, I began to tickle my babysitter back and she wouldn't fight or anything and I was hinted that she enjoyed it because I would tickle her belly and she'd just fall on her bed and hold her hands above her head as if giving me access to her. She also would tell me how to tickle her. But this continued and I loved tickling any attractive girl. I knew that much. I moved to the other side of the U.S. at the age of 9 and I didn't see them for a long time. I really loved being tickled (not by family) and as soon as I hit puberty all my ticklishness went away :/ It was kind of a revelation. But on the bright side, I still keep in touch with Katie, and my babysitter! And I'm visiting them next month. By the way, me and Katie are both about 19 and my babysitter is 25 now 😛 but hey, I can't wait to see 'em. And that's how I got my fetish I think :]
 
I have absolutely no idea. Had to been pretty close near birth. I have very early memories of it, and I've always liked it.
 
While it may not have been a "fetish" to me at a very young age, I have always, for as long as I can remember, been fascinated by tickling. I don't think I've ever had an "initial exposure" kind of experience. Hell, there are VHS tapes of me in diapers, lifting up my shirt and asking to be tickled. I honestly think that I was just born with it.
 
For me it would have to be during my early childhood. I also used to have an attractive baby-sitter and when I would go up to her and tickle her belly or foot, she would pin me down and just tickle me until I cried. It was really nice. 🙂
 
As a small child, I was tickled constantly by females. Older sisters, their girlfriends, girls at school, and even certain teachers. I was conditioned at a young age to associate tickling with female authority and later with female affection. For as long as I can remember, I would coerce girls into tickling me, and it wasn't very hard to do.
 
I have been since I was 5. Might sound odd, but I was fascinated by tickling girls at an age that young. I hit puberty at 11 and I realised tickling is something sexual for me at 14. It took a whole before I realised and what triggered this was a programme about sex I secretly recorded back then which was about the tickling fetish, and some months later I started fantasising more often about tickling in a masturbatory way.

I'm not sure what programma it was. It may have been Sexbytes or something. It was an American programme and I believe Stacy Burke was tickled in it, but I cannot confirm. It was probably very tame stuff, but I liked it because tickling always fascinated me. I cannot find the fragment on the internet. I don't even recall which producer is was.

Interestingly I'm more of a 'ler than a 'lee. I'm almost a full 'ler. Still, I remember as a child having been tickled repeatedly for 10 to 20 minutes straight by some cousines of mine in a way I lost all of my control of my body and I couldn't fight back. It was torment (I barely could breath), but I still liked it. We took turns and I get to tickle them too. I was at least three times tickled for a long time and I could tickle them at least for just as long.
Later I have, also before I was into it sexually (or before I knew I was, because I already hit puberty), also tickled one of those cousines. At that time I was physically stronger than her and she received most of all the tickling. I have had a nice summer vacation back then with her I can tell. She also was always barefoot in my presence and she also laid her feet in a way I could tickle her easily, despite the fact she knew the urge of mine to start tickle them grew more intensely and I would surely head for those feet.
She hit puberty also back then and she started developing breasts. One day she told me: I know one place that's more ticklish than my feet, my belly and my underarms. She suddenly would pull up her shirt and show me her developing nipples, and I tickled them unquestioningly, and she laughed in hysterics.

Might sound wrong as I was a minor, but so was she. Yes, she was my cousine and still is, but we both enjoyed it. I still meet her every week, but we never mention these times we had together. We have even seen each other naked. We both remember this very well and we knew it was 'wrong', we almost got caught one day even.
Nowadays she's a bicurious lesbian, because she has been sexually abused by her stepfather repeatedly and even fled the house she was living in when she became 15. I was the only family member who believed her at that time. This, and the fact she's family of mine, is why we nowadays have a relationship as close family and friends.

Me I guess it was when I was in my science class nodding off. I always sat next to a girl who had always wore sandals and one day she fell asleep and her feet were just hanging there. So I went and gave them a quick tickle. It was her reaction that I liked and ever since I've been addicted
 
Ive always liked tickling since childhood, then at some point after i hit puberty i found out i got turned on by it. As soon as i realized that my first thought was its not the worst thing out there to be into.:sleep1:
 
I was doomed from the start. :lol I naturally liked tickling family members, but when I hit second grade I became best friends with a spitfire of a girl. 🙂 She was a very demanding little friend, now that I think back on it, but since I was pretty happy to go along with a good amount of what she wanted, we got along pretty well anyway.

Anyway, one game she liked to play was the "Tickle me" game. It's pretty much exactly as it sounds; she would turn to me at recess and ask me to tickle her, and I would comply until she wanted me to stop. Then we'd forget about it for a while and play whatever other makeup games kids play, then she'd ask again. I can't remember when precisely we started or stopped doing this particular "game", but I do recall that we both enjoyed it enough to go on for quite some time.

That wasn't the only thing that contributed to it, but I realize now that it was probably a pretty big part of why, since we both were having fun.
 
When I was about 5 years old I saw a Popeye cartoon. it was the one where Olive Oyle is dangling by one foot upside down & Bluto peeled back the sole of her shoe & tickled her sole.
I stared at that scene, pointed to the TV & yelled, "THAT'S FOR ME!"
Now other kids (& adults) would watch this scene & just laugh it off or it would have absolutely NO effect on them whatsoever.
Why did that scene ignite my love/passion for bare soles & tickling?
I do NOT remember at all ANYONE discussing or doing ANY kind of tickling.
So WHERE did this 'spark' come from?
From that moment on I would be excited when Popeye would be on TV, most of the time being VERY disappointed because there were no more tickling scenes shown for a LONG time.
Tickling & bare soles (I also have a passion for female bare soles) have been 'ingrained' in my memory since then.
