as a child the moment i saw my aunt Peg sleeping on the couch and her feet ready and waiting ( in my mind ) to be tickled

That's so cute..Lol!

At around 14 i read a book with a scene where a woman was flogged and from that time i was hooked on what I later came to know as BDSM. Tickling became a part of this much later when i found a magazine in a porn/fetish shop.

I've had a stocking foot fetish for as long as I can remember, but when I was about 6 I saw David Copperfield sawing Catherine Bach into three. She was shoeless, and he tickled her (fake) stocking feet. His cheeky grin, and her smile, squirming and laughter, made an impression on me that day, which made me realise there was more to feet than just looking at them.

When I was 11, I was able to induldge my new quirk with my aunt, who isn't ticklish but likes having her feet played with. The rest is history...

Cheers, everybody,

Had swimming lessons as a kid and one time we were all lined up on the edge of the pool with our feet hanging in the water. The instructor came along and gave all our feet a quick tickle. I just remember seeing it coming and deciding not to pull away - and then wishing it was longer. I think then I realised that I actually enjoyed it.

I think that I was hard-wired for foot tickling from the womb. It goes back to my earliest memories. In fact, I don't remember not being turned on by female feet and tickling them. I had some humiliating experiences in regard to my thing for foot tickling at a very young age which put me in the closet until my mid-twenties when I found out a couple of my friends had a foot fetish. But, didn't come completely out of the closet until I found this forum. Knowing that there are lots of foot/tickling fetishists helped to out me completely. It is so wonderrful not to have to carry the burden of 'my secret' any longer. Another thing, for me foot tickling has always been sexual, even as a small child. I didn't understand it at the time, but female feet and tickling them always gave me a boner. A cousin of mine taught me how to masturbate when I was 10 years old and from the start I always fantasized about tickling girls' feet while masturbating. I didn't learn about sex till I was 11, so I was completly unaware of what sex was when I began masturbating to the thought of tickling girls' feet. This fetish has always been with me from the earliest age and I have no explanation as to why. Needless to say, there was some conflict when I learned at adolescence that I was supposed to be turned on by nooky and not foot tickling. I managed to adapt. I could have normal sex, but I have always been 'bisexual' in regard to the nooky/foot tickling thing. But, foot tickling and foot sex are by far my sexual preference.
