How/When did you know?

New Here...

I am new to the forum so I guess it is time to get off the sidelines.
I knew at a very early age that feet were special. Several of my
grade school teachers wore sandals. Seeing their bare feet was a
defininte turn on even back then. My fondest memory is of a 4th
grade teacher who would read a book to us. I sat in the front row
of the class and she would lean against the blackboard as she read.
After a few paragraphs you would hear a quiet "plop" sound. That
was her high heel falling off as she balanced on one leg and played
with her shoe by sliding her foot out and resting it on top of the
shoe. Of course her feet were perfect. Plump, pretty red painted
toes. Nice arches. Flat heels from being trapped in the shoes all
day. I only wish circumstances would have allowed me to tickle her.

I was always the kid on the block that initiated tickling games.
Many of my friends spent an afternoon laughing. My girlfriends
of course had to have pretty feet and be ticklish or we just didn't
hit it off. Nice to know that I am not the only one who gets weak
in the knees when he spies a pair of nice soles.🙂

"So, here's my question. How and when did you discover that your love of tickling was more than simple play?"

I honestly cannot recall a time when I wasn't fascinated by tickling or the thought of tickling others and being tickled. It has always been a fun and wonderful exchange. I was about 10, tickle-wrestling with a female family friend when it first made me feel something other than the "regular" fun and excitement.

"What ways did you explore that?"

Before I could read, I remember having books read to me. Any book that contained "tickle" in it caught my attention and eventually, though I couldn't read, I learned to recognize the word. I always had grown-ups read the stories with tickle in them. Later I looked it up in ANY dictionary I could find, (and OH HAPPY DAY if there were those example sentences! LOL) I was always interested in tickling on many levels, which led to my study of psychology and human sexuality publications. Of course, up until the age of about 13, any way I could work tickling or getting tickled into time spent with friends and family I did. Around 13, I caught that illness that would magically let ANYONE know how much I loved tickling if I did it, I said it, listened to it spoken, or noticed it happening! LOL

"If there'd been sites around that were age appropriate and still allowed you to explore your sexuality, would you have gone?"

I'm absolutely positive I would have stopped at nothing to get into any tickle-related site which interested me, age appropriate or not.

Like many of the others who have responded to this post, I knew at a very young age, probably four or five. I am very ticklish and love being tickled. I was tickled by various people during my childhood and early teens. I also tickled a number of other kids, mostly girls. Then there was a dry period until I dated the girl who is now my wife who lovingly tickles the heck out of me. It was the internet that provided me some comfort that I was not the only very ticklish adult male, that I was not the only adult who like being tickled, that I was not the only ticklephile, etc.

As long as I remember

I can remember the funny feeling of being tickled by a female and always being intrigued at the thought of tickling women's feet.

Ever since I could walk Ive wanted to tickle women's feet. The other body parts followed suit at around age 9 If I saw a girl that was pretty I wanted to tickle her, plain and simple. During puberty when other boys my age were getting a sex drive my tickle drive was in overdrive. I had no thoughts of sex WHATSOEVER only tickling. At 17 however I equated tickling with sex and now have both a sex and tickle drive. They are strongly intertwined however. Sex can go with tickling but NOT BY ITSELF.

The babysitter. We used to play a game of how long can I go without laughing while she is tickling me. I don't remember how old I was at the time but it had to be pretty young.

Nice thread, Ann! Anyways, to make a long story short, I've always loved tickling, but it wasn't sexual for me until I discovered the 'net when I started college. I found a bunch of sites devoted to tickling and feet, and let's just say my feelings about those two things intensified at that point. 😀

Loved the thought of being tickled as far back as I can remember

Hi Jen,
As far as I can remember, I have always loved the thought of being tickled by someone / more than one.
Once when I was @ 28, I was set upon by 3 women ... I was at a friends place and they were wondering out loud if I was ticklish ..... I've never been shy, so I called their bluff.
As far as I was concerned, it stopped too soon (a couple of minutes or so ...... stupid me, I fought to get away. Now, no way!!!! I am looking for people who want to tickle me ...... go figure, eh!

Ticklishly yours,
Dave

Oh god...I feel soooo old! I didn't discover my passion for being tickled really until I was...errr...32!!! (I'm now 33) My first and second husbands would never tickle me, if I tried to start tickling games with them, they'd stop me and say I was childish or silly.
