How old were you when...

[siamese dream]

...1. You discovered your interest in tickling?

2. When you discovered tickling pages on the internet?

As for me, I have been interested in tickling as long as I can remember, since a very young age, too young to understand the feelings involved. When I was about 12 or so I started to understand the sexual desire I felt along with tickling, it was "there" in some way before that but I was too young to fully understand those feelings.

On the second question, I had the internet in my house from the time I was about 14. I think I was 15 when I first looked up "tickling" on yahoo and found out that I was definitely not the only one who felt that way. I'm 24 now so no worries, but back then I can remember chatting on the NTCweb when I was about 16 or so and making the older guys nervous that I was a cop or something because I was honest about my age. I had a curiousity that I felt I needed to explore further at that age, it helped to talk to others with the same sort of feelings even if I was an "innappropriate" age to be on those sites. Anyway, the years eventually passed and it's completely understandable why people under 18 aren't allowed here, I was just curious if anyone else (probably among the younger set) had discovered tickling websites at a young age like that. Also I'm interested in people who were older before they found tickling on the web, did you ever suspect before finding these sites that there were others with the same feelings about tickling?

...1. You discovered your interest in tickling?

I guess here is where I really show my age.

I knew I liked bondage and tickling by the time I was 7 or 8 years old. I found tickling on the web about as soon as it arrived on the web: call it 1994. So I would have been about 34 then.

 

[ViperGTS]

Well, I am 19 now.

Found out how much I loved tickling somewhere between 4 and 6.

Found the websites at 14.

 

[siamese dream]

wow, Viper I never would have guessed that you're younger than me! Not to say you seem old 😀 haha, just that from your posts you seem very mature for your age and definitely very comfortable with your feelings about tickling. At 19 my feelings were strong as ever, but I was a little hesitant and shy about tickling and if it was a "normal" thing to enjoy, since then I've gained a lot more confidence. I met a person from the TMF for the first time, for a one-time tickling encounter when I was 19, sometimes I wish I would have done this when I was a little older because I think my own uncertainty about my sexual feelings and desires maybe made the tickling experience less enjoyable than it could have been. But it was mostly a good experience, I know I wasn't exactly what this particular ler wanted because of my shyness about fully enjoying what was happening. Hopefully if he's still around he understands that I was just young, inexperienced and scared...but that he gave me a great time and helped me understand and accept my own feelings even more.

Been into it as long as I can recall, found that I wasn't alone thanks to the Internet at about 14 or 15. Sadly the Internet was at someone else's house, which luckily didn't turn out as horribly as it could have. Dodged that bullet. 🙂

I was about 5 years old.
I started on the web when we got our first computer in 1995. I went to Rock-Man.com and through their links, I found the Funnybone Storsybox and the TMF was on their links so I came here. I never posted, then our pc broke and after about a year we got a new one and then I rejoined and started posting like crazy.

I knew I was odd about tickling when I was 8 or 9. I knew it affected me more than it did my friends or my older brother. But there was a good amount of time in there where I was terrified of it.

Maybe I was just terrified of the feelings it caused and not the tickling itself. Who knows.

When I was sixteen, I finally put "tickling" in an altavista search (I don't think Google was very big at the time). I was totally freaked out by what I found but I ended up keep going back. And here I am, at 22, still doing the same shit. 😀

Why thank you! 🙂

I knew I adored tickling by the age of 5 or 6...and that I enjoyed it more than what was deemed 'normal' by about 7 or 8 years old.

I got the net in early 96, and by the end of the year or beginning of 97 I had found my first tickling site online, and became a regular and then co-owner of the mIRC chat room #ticklefun. So I would have been 23 at the time.

Well I got interested in tickling when I got interested in girls at age 10. I used to fantasize about the girls around the neighborhood that I had crushes on. Wanting to tickle them but of course way, way, way too shy about it. Then when I was fifteen I had my first experience with a female friend that I used to torture all the time by tickling her hips everytime I saw an opportunity.
Ever since then every girlfriend has been in danger of being tickled by me.

I didn't know about webpages until three years ago when I had a computer in my home. What can I tell you ...I'm a late bloomer.

I started late, and gradually. Heck, I didnt even realize how ticklish people were until I was like 12, when I used to tickle the two counselors Christine, and Adina, in camp, which I've posted about before.
After that, through my teens, when I used to make trips to Atlantic City with my parents, and couldnt gamble, I began reading articles about tickling in magazines such as Leg Show.
My full blown realization of my "Tickle Fetish" didnt come until 1997, when I was 27. That year, as I've posted on here before, I saw an ad of a straight male into tickling, and wrote to my late great pen pal Don Fraser. After he responded, we both began getting female letter pen pals, all of whom we asked tickling questions to, and then reported the answers to each other. It wasnt really until I was 27 that I became aware of tickling as a strong fetish for me, and Iam 36 now, so this has been a fetish for me for only 9 years.
I hope this isnt too much detail for this, and is on topic properly, as I just wanted to provide a full explanation of how my tickling awareness as a fetish came about.

I must've been 5 or 6 as well when I realized I loved tickling - I was always concocting ways to tickle girls at school. Even before I had thoughts about doing anything else with them I loved to poke them and make them giggle.

I was about 14 or 15 when we got our first dial-up, and I remember the trepidation with which I did my first tickling search - I couldn't even bring myself to type more than "tickl," as though my search would certainly be flagged and used against me someday and I didn't want to tip my hand. I was floored by the amount of material I found.

The first link I clicked was an old story about the college cheerleader who gets abducted by the other team to get her team's plays. I read it many, many times. Then I found the old TickleTown, and Psycho's page (the Australopithecus Africanus to the TMF's homo sapiens). That's when I realized that it wasn't completely insane that I got aroused everytime I saw, heard, or thought about a girl getting tickled or tickling me. Amazing thing, this Web.

I've been interested in tickling as long as I can remember, which is back to age 4. 😀

There was no internet until I was middle-aged. I was 49 when I first saw a tickling website.

I have loved being tickled since I was a small child. I can't say how old because I can't honestly remember a time in which I wasn't obsessed with it. I think 5 is a good estimate. I turned 5 in 1962. It wasn't until 1987 that I learned that I wasn't the only person on the face of the earth into tickling. I happened to be in an adult bookstore on 42nd St in Manhattan and saw a "Fetish Times" newspaper who's headline screamed in all caps, SPECIAL TICKLE TORTURE ISSUE. Yessir, that's when I had my big epiphany, that there were others out there.

In 1996, we got Internet access to our desktop computers. I remember all the photos were real grainy and dotty. The first search I ever did was for "tickling." I was bummed that most of the tickling related to guys tickling females, which was an anathema to my way of thinking. Then I did a search on "Women Tickling Men." It led me to a web site called ntcweb.com which was a multifetish that included f/m tickling as well as nail fetish and fur fetish.

 

[darkscar]

LOL i liked feet and tickling since i was 5 years old.

 

[fred153]

I think I've always known that I've loved tickling. As long as I can remember really.

I looked for tickling stuff as soon as I got the internet. I would have been about 25 (I'm 35 now).

 

[joe123]

When I was about 14

I first found this out when I was about 14 and a lot people in my jr high were doing it like guys were tickling girl who I thought were hot and even girls were tickling one girl I can remmber was a hard core tickler there was so much tickling going on at my jr high mostly in my grade stating in 7th but going into 8th and 9th...

Much like others here I knew I had the fetish when I was 4/5 and continued to deal with it until I hit dub-digits. It was always in the back of my mind and 'haunted' my thoughts. Then one day I went on a search engine (Yahoo or Go, I think) and typed in the T word. Found multiple sites and stories and then found this place.

Haven't left since. I lurked for years before I was 18 and then finally joined. It was good learning time, like an 'apprenticeship' only without any real teaching. It was good time for me to learn and understand this fetish. I'm still young and naive about the whole thing, but compared to five years ago I am now light years ahead.

For me.....

...1. You discovered your interest in tickling?

2. When you discovered tickling pages on the internet?

I was very young when I knew I liked to see people get tickled. I always tried to ignore it cause I thought there was something wrong with me. It wasn't till I was like 21 that I opened my mind to it. I found TMF around the age of 21 as well. I am now 23 🙂 And, I now know there is NOTHING wrong with me for wanting to be tickled tee hee hee!

Does your boyfriend share tickling with you?

 

[tulipangel]

Not as much as he should........

Does your boyfriend share tickling with you?

He knows I like it. He will tickle me once in a while but only if im acting like a brat and only for a minute or so. I don't think he REALLY gets how much I like it.

 

[stloldg]

I was 6 when i knew i love tickling, always tried to tickle the younger girls in my area. I found out i love sucking toes at 9.

I discover the internet site at work back in 95, it changed my life.

 

[Ray<3tiklishft]

I've always loved tickling, as far back as I can remember. I got my 1st computer in 2000 and when I figured out how to use the search engine, that's when I found the TMF.

 

[tcklft]

I always hated being tickled as a child, as it was painful, but found I loved tickling girls when I was 12. I ran my first search on "tickling" in 1994 and, as other have said, was amazed at the amount of material I found. I didn't blossom into a lee until I was 30, under the tender tutelage of a switch who tickled my tummy lightly with her toes.

 

[ticklemenati]

I always loved being tickled and I remember always trying to find ways to get the neighbors I would play with to tickle me. We would play games like hide and go seek or tag but change the rules so that whenever someone was caught they would be tickled (my idea of course).
Then when I was 12 or 13, my friend had a pool party and it was a big deal because boys were coming and it was at night instead of during the day. Some of us were in the pool, and we were having chicken fights where the guys go underwater and the girls get on their shoulders and try to knock eachother down. I was never able to stay up for long as a kid because it would just tickle too much and be too slippery.This time, I managed to get on after a couple tries and managed to stay on for what seemed like forever but it was probably about 30 seconds. He was holding me up and was really strong and the back of his neck and shoulders were so warm and my thighs which are really ticklish,especially in the pool were squirming all over him and i was slipping and sliding all over the place.I didnt orgasm, but I was definetly feeling really tingly and excited.That was the first time that it was really sexual for me. I wonder if he had any idea.
ohh memories.
