How many of you...

...have actually ‘come out of the closet’ (so to speak) and are entirely open with your friends and family about your tickling fetish? Personally, I’ve always felt really embarrassed and (until joining the TMF) felt the need to hide my fetish – but I imagine it would be a very freeing experience to just say “I like tickling, deal with it!”

Maybe it would be easier to find a willing ‘lee that way too...*sigh*

I've tickled most of my younger female cousins in years past as well as some female friends so they already know that I'm into tickling, don't know the fetish part but still know of how I like to tickle them.

I have absolutely no desire to be open about it. There are lots of personal things I don't advertise to my friends and family, why would this be any different? A couple of my absolute best friends know, and so do some girls who've indulged me. I don't feel especially in, or out of, any closet.

 

[Korastus]

I don't feel that anyone in my family, at all, ever, needs to know such an intimate detail about me. Neither is it something I would share with any but the closest of my friends.

 

[TickleToy4You]

No one in my family knows, but I think my sister might...but my friends know lol.

Great effin' question.......I actually told a cousin when I was say 17 and she was 18 that I wanted to make tickling vids. She thought I was crazy......we never spoke of it again and 10 years later, it's like she's completely forgotten about that conversation lol. Family doesn't know unless they've put 2 and 2 together somewhere down the line and I didn't realize it. I have 3 female friends who know about how deep it is and know that I occaisonally attend foot/tickling parties etc.The first being a long time high school friend who first let me really test it out in college under no false pretenses and fully knowing what she was signing up for, both tickling and foot fetish. The next a long time friend who turns out to be related to the first friend I mentioned (gotta love that family) and we've just gotten to be really cool over the years. The final and more recent is someone I've known for like 10+ years via internet chatroom (can you say, dial-up) and just met face to face last year, and she's super awesome! Any one else outside of those 3 has either indulged me briefly (ex gf), put things together and figured out what that fake science project was (hs teachers, classmates, and college friends/classmates).

Aaaannnd, to answer the second part of the question, I don't really feel in the closet. Those who know, know for a reason. Those who don't, don't and for all intents and purposes never really need to know.

this this this!!!

 

[thetmfobserver]

Some people know, but I don't feel like advertising it.

 

[april]

Nope Nope Nope and never will. My secret will only live within the domains of the TMF!

 

[splinehan]

Nobody (as far as I can tell) knows. Maybe one ex gf realized the extent of it, but we never discussed it. I'm happy to have it stay that way.

 

[Tickleraket]

Two of my friends found out about my fetich by accident. But hey! They thought it was acutally pretty cool! 😉

 

[texastickler]

Although tickling for me is just simply fun, for some it is sexual. So in that sense what goes on in the bedroom is not anyones business to begin with. A few of my friends know about my love of this fetish. My family however does not. I do not have a desire to tel them nor will I.

 

[tupac92]

Heyyyy im here in Australia😀

ALOT of my mates both girls n guys no of my foot fetish....only a few bout the tickling side....but when they know of my foot fetish its basically giving myself away anyway😀....i honestly never saw wat was so embaresing...n my confidence i guess gives them the idea taht it isnt a big deal lol

[rhiannon]

Why would you want to do that? Do you also run around telling all your friends and family how much you like blow jobs?

 

[Phineas]

This. Honestly, it's nobody's business what gets me off in the bedroom... unless that person is willing to get me off in the bedroom or the topic comes up in general conversation... which it rarely does.

 

[scarecrow]

hell yeah

 

[rhiannon]

hell yeah

LOL...videos or it didn't happen!

 

[knudus]

Think hard before you start telling friends and family. Do you relly want to be known as The Weirdo? 🙂 How do you think girls would feel about dating The Weird Tickler?

 

[dad1]

Well it's pretty to say you like to tickle or be tickled without calling it a fetish or otherwise indicating a sexual context. Nobody wants to hear about what floats your boat.

 

[Libertine]

Why tell anyone? Even your potential play partners can be sounded out by gentle physical experimentation rather than a direct question- same as having sex.

How about someone outing you? Does that count?

 

[cue]

I'm one of those who gets sexually turned on by tickling. I wouldn't dream about telling anyone, friends or family. There's just some things that I wouldn't want to know about my friends, no matter how much I love their friendship or are family. I don't want to know what to know what turns on my friends. Or even harbor the visuals of what kink my cousins have that turns them on.

To me, it's not a matter of embarrassment, but just TMI. I can't imagine sitting around with my cousins (only child here) and asking, "Hey, Cuz. What do you and -- do in the bedroom that really turns you on?"

I don't want to know.

See I'm kind of the opposite... I'm pretty open and I'm not shy about talking about sex... at all! But I DON'T because hey, guess what? Nobody wants to hear that sh*t! Same thing with the fetish... I mean, have you ever been shootin the breeze with a group of friends and someone just busts out with a detail like they like to get their ass spanked and almost everyone else goes "Awwww man! I don't wanna hear that shit! Whatdafuckza matta witchoo?"

And I hesitate to tell anyone about my fetish unless it's a girl that I'm planning on getting truly involved with, ya know? Like, a few months down the road, because they probably should know early on, but if they've made it that long with me, it's because I've got the long haul in mind at that point. But that way at that point, you're only a few months in and you haven't wasted a lot of time if they can't deal with it, but you've been with them long enough to start thinking that maybe they are worthy of that kind of knowledge?

Other than that... no. My family doesn't need to know, because I wouldn't divulge anything sexual to them... that's just weird to me... My friends don't need to know, because beyond the "Hey, are you and her, uh...?" conversation, they don't wanna know that much about it and I don't really wanna give them that kind of detail LOL I hope all of that made sense...

I haven't, and I couldn't imagine doing so. Especially my family. Eww.
Plus, it's not really your friends and family's business what gets you off, nor do they really want to know.

It's weird, though. I'm definitely more embarassed and reserved about my tickle fetish than I am about my vanilla sex life. Like, I feel comfortable telling my best friend almost everything, even sex-related stuff that's probably way TMI and that I wouldn't dream of sharing with anyone else (and she does the same), but for some reason, I could never tell her about my love of tickling.

My brother and I talk about everything, therefore he knows...otherwise...I wouldn't discuss with my mom how good blowjobs are so why would I talk about tickling??
