How do non-tickling fetishists view tickling?

[mclaren01]

I'm sure there are a number of people on here who can answer this for me as many are 'out of the closet' in regards to their fetish and will have had conversations with 'normal' people on the subject.

It just interests me and gives me a deeper insight into how others will behave when I tickle people, for example. Do they feel uncomfortable, see it as a sign of flirting/something sexual? Or do they find it humorous, playful and harmless?

Presumably there are a number of answers to this and you can't wholly generalise them (of course some people will find it more sexual than others, and some will find it a bit 'pervy', and some will love it) but I'd like to see people's opinion on this.

What is tickling if you haven't got a tickling fetish?


*Note - apologies for the accidental reference to those without a tickling fetish as 'they'. It makes it seem as if we (damn!) are against them (oh I give in)...

There are so many answers to that. Some people may find it odd while others may find it perfectly normal. Some will like it and some will hate it. Everyone has their odd kinks.

I can tell you, however, that you'll get a far better reaction to admitting you like tickling than, say, admitting like you being whipped or something. 😛

Some think it's cute. Others don't care, since they aren't into it.

Others think it's childish, silly, innocent and a waste of time. Spend any amount of time on Bondage.com and you'll see for yourself.

What is sneezing if you don't have a sneeze fetish?

I knew an older dom/sub couple in college and the wife (the sub) said tickling was a little too intense, so they only teased a bit.

''What is sneezing if you don't have a sneeze fetish?''


Unfortunately due to my uncontrollable sneeze fetish I can't answer that one-line put-down.

Hope someone else can though.

If people with other fetishes don't acceot tickling, then who cares. You like what you like. We are into tickling, and that is all that matters. We have eachother. lol

I think you misunderstand the question, it's not if they accept the fetish or not, it's more about how do they relate to tickling, not as a fetish but as something else, I think. It's also a question I can't answer.

In ordinary (non-fetish) culture, tickling is generally viewed as child's play.

They should view it as the eighth wonder of the world, but I believe most of 'em think it's weird.
