How many people have you told?

[cue]

Who have I told?

Outside of Scott, my dear sweet husband, NO ONE. Friends know that I'm ticklish, but don't know that I like to be tickled.

I'm on the same page as you, Crystal. The only person I've told other than my husband has been a good friend from high school whom I don't see that often. I told her only because I was a bit drunk and feeling crazy-brave. It's so weird that my gilrfriends and I have such frank, open, hold-nothing-back discussions about sex, but I am too chicken to tell them about my love of being tickle-tortured. Hell, I've even told them about my love of bondage (which they don't find odd in the least), yet I keep tickling locked inside.

Although I myself have been less than candid about my interest in "kink", and have at times arbitrarily or strategically uttered something about "tickling" or "feet", other than the 2nd most important person in my life, I have never "come out" and stated my passion for tickling and feet to the people whom I really want to know. I believe it is because it is my true passion and desire and a part of myself that I cannot break from if I tried; and I guess I fear negative judgement from those I respect. The ones, aside from my wife, that I have come right out and told, were either acquaintances that I knew I would probably rarely or never see again, or people that it didn't matter to me what they thought. I believe some family members may "know" but I'd never admit to it unless confronted.

I've told a few people here and there. My brother knows because he and I shoot the proverbial shit about everything. A couple of close female friends who are just that - friends. There's one other woman who knows, but I'm not sure she counts because we are attracted to each other and were sharing turn-ons. I'm not really ashamed, but I'm fairly private and besides - who walks around just randomly saying, "HEY! Guess what kink I'm into...no really...guess!"

Many know, but probably not to the degree it interests me

Actions speak louder than words, Crystal, so the many women I've tickled like crazy know I'm a tickler. But outside of the dominatrices I've paid for tickle play, I have never simply told anyone, "I have an extraordinary appreciation of tickling."

Absolutley, That's what holds the appeal in my opinion though, Being able to actually verbally say it. There is nothing wrong with not being able to/ not feeling comfortable to, It's just curiousity as to how many people inside this fetish have actually opened up verbally.









Thanks to all for posting !

This makes sense to me. I always figured that if you aren't comfortable talking about it, then maybe you shouldn't be doing it just yet. It helps avoid the whole "I feel guilty thing." This isn't a hard and fast rule, but I've always liked it.

churning

Crystal, i know how you must feel when someone says "tickle." If the speaker doesn't know that it has a fetish context for you, it can make your stomach churn, but if the speaker does know, then it is all the more special (arousing and scary). i have told just two people face-to-face and several others on the phone after i have met them online. It is a wonderful thrill to admitt that i am ticklish and it becomes very fulfilling when a woman responds with devious pleasure.

You got it. If I talk to someone for long enough on the phone from the forum, I can slowly be able to come a bit outwards and bring it up, Untill then I prefer to use the word 'sensitive'.

Congrats on telling those two people.

Do you say 'doing it' as Tickling in general, or Talking about it?

And what do you mean the whole 'I feel guilty thing'?

Enlighten Me ! 😀

I hate saying the word "tickle."

It's not as bad as it used to be, but it still sucks.

i know this sounds wierd because i really don't know you but from seeing your posts around here (expecially in the ticklish giggle looks like a godess thread) i really didn't think you would have a problem with the T word. perception huh..

I mean doing is in a more general sense, but tickling in specific for this discussion. I just always felt that if you aren't comfortable talking about something intimate or erotic that most likely indicates that something isn't quite right.

Personally, I wouldn't feel particularly good about tickling or being tickled by someone who didn't know that it's hugely erotic for me, you know? I think I'd feel pretty guilty about it for lack of a better word. It's not really a big deal - I've just decided that I'm going to upfront about it relationship wise and see where it goes. Mind you- I'm not whipping about bondage gear and the most over the top vidoes I can find on the first date. ;-)

Random Question Time: How many people, outside of this forum, have any of you told/revealed/opened up about your fetish/love for tickling ?

None.

And even with girlfriends it was more of a game so i haven't been caught 🙂

I don't see the point of telling people about it, it's my secret secret .)

 

[Chaneda]

Lets start counting...

Outside of people from this or other tickling forums...

All six of my past and current girlfriends know. Five friends from high school know. Two people in my university know. About twenty people in CV know. NO ONE in my family knows nor will ever know. Four psychologists/psychiatrists know. About seven other friends know (including my Latin Laughter associates...I am not counting my models).

So in total I must have told at least Forty-Four people, 90% all girls, about it. I usually do not share it with guys at all unless I really trust them. Girls on the other hand I feel can be more open about it because of its "cute" aspect than guys and so I have found it much easier to tell them.

When I date I tell my girlfriend-to-be about my interest in tickling VERY early on to make sure she'll be open minded enough to accept it. I would not be comfortable dating someone terribly closed minded as I see myself needing someone open to new and different experiences and ideas to be able to mingle successfully with me.

I understand, Thanks for clarifying. 🙂

one of my favorite new movies is cloverfield. its an average monster movie, but the real antagonist wasn't the monster to me, it was distance and longterm relationship. the main charecter was leaving for japan and leaving the woman that he loved behind. when faced with life or death neither a monster in central park or a few miles is more important than being able to be with that special person one more time...

I believe that...

 

[jj82277]

you wouldn't want a wife that provides a covering in this area?

why wuld you hide a part of your sexuality from your spouse.

I found the most daunting aspect of Cloverfield was that it made me motion sick. Damn you JJ Abrahms from making a spectacular movie I won't want to watch again!

 

[alchemy]

I've told and tell anyone who's business it is to know...and a bunch of other people too.

I used to be pretty shy about it, but I've gotten over most of that. Most people that know me know that I'm kinda "out there" so they tend to take things like this all in stride.

I don't know...it's a part of who I am and if people don't like it, oh well...

 

[kyle]

A bunch of girls, a few friends, and why the hell would I ever tell my family?

 

[scorpionldr]

anyone I am getting serious with. but usually i blow my cover before that.

 

[ticklesneeze]

I've said it three times

Once on a depression forum. One woman in England wrote back to say that her feet were very ticklish and if I should ever find myself in the UK some day...

Once to a friend who confessed to me that he found movies of women and dogs sexy. When he said that, I thought to myself, "Well, how weird can I possibly be?"

Once to my therapist. That was the hardest session I'd ever had. I remember shaking and this strip on my lower back became hot. It was intense but I was ultimately glad I said it. He's very non-judgemental and he said, "It's a fantasy of your's. It's that simple." He's a good guy.

Blow your cover? As in coming right out and telling them, Or another way?

I bet it was tough, Congrats on getting through it OK! I bet it was a big weight off your shoulders in the end, Yeah?

 

[Wildtime]

How many people have I told?

My army buddies. It's not some weird sex thing...it's just that when you're in a barracks situation nothing stays secret. Plus, since absolute trust is a necessity in that situation, you couldn't hold anything back--no matter how embarrasing you think it is. At least the other guys thought it was alright. In fact, in the realm of unusual/deviant sexual behaviours that we all had, mine was the most 'normal'.

I've also revealed my tickling intrests to anyone I've gone out with. My current girlfriend knows about my interest, and I've given her a tour of the TMF. She now lurks here every once in a while.
