How to get someone to tickle you without making it obvious?

[TicklishAllison]

I was just looking for suggestions on how to be sneaky and get someone to tickle you. Playful tickling with random people is so much fun. I have made a lot of wonderful friends lately but I don't want it to be super obvious that I want to have a tickle fight!

It's so hard to answer these questions in type. >.<

Muurr.. I guess the best way I can try to explain it is to just initiate in wrestling around and what not and sneak in a grab or two. Make sure you are paying attention to their response to it. If they enjoyed it, work at it a little more. If not, then think of something else!

Good luck. 🙂

My problem is trying to initiate the "wrestling" kind of contact. I'm always afraid of it being taken as a sexual advance (perish the thought lol) or of people not wanting to retaliate in case they hurt me. Helps that I'm quite shy 🙁

I find a lot of times "tickle fights" happen when you argue about something silly, and make silly arguments back. And then from there you pretend like your getting physically upset and do the "wanna fight about" play routine, and from there it usually ends up with tickling.

Just my experiences.

I'm with Jo and Rob on this one. Playful fight, tussling, wrestling, arguing and starting the poking going usually gets the same in return. Your reactions/response may light the fire from there.

Shyness does play a factor, yes. 🙂 --

Okay. Initiating wrestling can be done in a lot of different ways. Some of them just being by wrapping your arms around a friend/lover's waist and gently pulling them around or rocking back and forth. It causes both of you to move and the fact that you're so close in their space [[but in a playful way]] might make them eager to reciprocate.

Another way I've experienced it is sitting on a bed/couch and locking hands with the person and pushing against them. Most times it ends up in someone being forced to the side and then you could attempt to tickle them that way.

It's all about close physical contact and making sure the environment is one that is already positively "primed" for any horsing around. 🙂

Play stupid. Make up a reason to fight/wrestle, playfully of course!

It usually ends up in a tickle fight for me.

Good Luck!!!

So a flying suplex off the couch and through the glass coffee table doesn't cut it anymore? Your old tricks are slipping.

Hmm...maybe that's why I haven't been tickled since I was around 4 or 5. I've never really had a close physical relationship with anyone. O__O Sure, I've had friends, but they were never the huggy-cuddle-*pokepoke* type. lol 😛 Or...if they were, they were never that way with me. It's the gay curse! 😱

 

[gypsyhanna]

Thanks for the tips 🙂

I know one thing I did find useful once...someone asked me for a pen I was holding and I held it and said "oh yeah? Make me" lol that actually did work, I was proud of myself. Most people who don't know you very well, don't want to do anything to "force it" out of your hands by hitting or pinching you (and I have a high resilience to this if they do), but they will not feel guilty about tickling you. Jackpot!

Why do we have to be so sneaky? I wish we could just outright ask for what we want. Damn societal morals lol.

stretch out really big, reach very high for something, or sit with your feet right beside someone, anything that seems innocent but is, secretly, an invitation. when they take the bait, tickle back - you got the making of an other-person induced tickle fight.


the "flashing ticklish spots" move works 60% of the time, every time.

Dork!!!!

It's easy. Most people are playful by nature. Just hinting it is ok to touch is plenty. Extend your arms over head as if stretching or reaching for something and when some one comes even close to your sides,ribs or tummy lower your arms and laugh playfully. They will problably ask if you are ticklish? Just say yes laugh and play along as if you are weary of the tickle but the laughter and smile lets them know you would think it is ok and not be offended. I have seen it happen many times(even when I did not want it to) tickles will surely follow.See I think tickling is fun for many they just don't want to offend.

Really, only tickle folks agonize about coming across as too eager to tickle. If you're not into tickling, you generally won't care if someone tickles you a bunch. And if you ARE into it, you'll be fine with it. So really, unless you wind up with one of the few people that genuinely hate it (and they do exist, but they'll usually tell you immediately), you have essentially zero risk.

I mean, what's the worst they can do? You tickle them for no reason, they laugh, and then... what? The odds that their next move is to go "OH MY GOD YOU LIKE TICKLING" are EXTREMELY low.

If it happens a lot they will probably figure you out eventually, but if it happens a lot you're probably pretty good friends by then, so it won't matter any more.


I know it seems counterintuitive, but really the risk is extremely small. Just tickle people. :lol:

 

[deadlywiffeathr]

Like everyone has said above, just be playful 🙂In my experience, I find that being a wise ass (but in a playful way) is the best way to encourage tickle fights 😛 A little bit of teasing with the person you wanna tickle is a great way to provoke the reaction you want. Eventually they will come over and try to jump on you or something, that's when you can squeeze in a few tickles the way CrystalLight describes 😀

act sulky and they'll do it just to get you to smile

 

[tkrunner]

I would suggest "keep away". I have done this before and so have a few of my friends. A friend of mine would grab something of mine or something I wanted, and playfully keep it from me. I would reach for it and try to get it from her. I would take the chance to tickle her until she gave it back. So take something that whoever u want to tickle u wants and playfully keep it away, and see if the person will tickle to get it back.

 

[TicklishAllison]

LOL! These are great suggestions! I'm sure going to try them out this week and weekend. I did the keep away thing with a friend of mine last night, and she punched me in the chest. Ouch. Oh-well. I guess I'll have to work on my smart-ass lines and perfect my goofy grin to go along with it. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. If anyone else has more, feel free to keep 'em coming!

Are you a mechanic?

 

[Phineas]

Well, I'm not really a fan of being "sneaky" and tricking people into gratifying my fetish... so all I really have to offer is that most of the suggestions mentioned here would only work on a tickling fetishist.

Seriously, stuff that we "obviously" see as a "secret invitation", like stretching, most vanillas would simply think "she's stretching". They're not wired like us, and they don't immediately associate tickling with every gesture that "flashes a tickle spot". Hell, most people don't even notice tickle spots... as you saw when you tried to play keep-away and got thumped.

That said, best way to get someone to tickle you is to tickle them first. Hands-down.

 

[TicklishAllison]

Do I look like a mechanic? Nope, just grew up around cars. 🙂

 

[CMartin]

I agree with Crystal and Rob...also, being a smart ass always helps. 😀

I was sitting at my favorite sports bar, and at the next barstool was a beautiful slender blonde with a GREAT laugh (which I heard while we were having a conversation). Suddenly she stretched her arms WAY above her head and kept them there with plenty of time for me to tickle her in the ribs. But I didn't do it. I suppose I could have used the excuse "I just couldn't resist", but I didn't. Maybe it was because we were in a public place and I didn't want to look "bad" there. She was very friendly and flirty even though this was the first time I had met her. I'm just wondering what the thoughts are about this from all you TMFrs. Was it my old childhood shyness that got the better of me?

 

[texastickler]

I have heard some great things in this thread. All of them are workable. I know from past experiences that it is much easier than you think. Show a litle spunk, maybe a playful show of words and attitude. Playful wrestling is anothr way. Of course you can aways initiate a tickle fight by making th first move while doing some of the suggestions above. If I was talking with you in person this would be easier to explain. Sorry if I am confusing!🙂

 

[tkrunner]

Sry about getting punched in the chest, thats not the intention, lol. Just keep trying different things.
