If you could get rid of your tickling fetish, would you?

[BigBrownEyes]

I would get rid of it. But the reactions I get in the bedroom are so much more intense...I can't imagine it being replaced with anything.

I agree. If you're able to bring tickling into your intimate life, it's a mindblowing experience. The problem is that it's disappointing when someone lays down a strict "no tickling" rule. I've experienced both sides of the coin on this one.

As much as I love tickling, I think I'd trade it in for just a mild interest in tickling. Possibly just a borderline tickle fetish. You can't go wrong with that!

 

[reflexology414]

No way...

This has been a part of my life since childhood, and I couldn't imagine my life without it. I'd never wish to change this.

Hellz to the nizzaw... That's "No" in crazy-speak.

I love being tickled and I can't think of anything more fun than being tickled till I'm red faced and exhausted. 😀

 

[Litha]

I wouldn't want to lose the intensity of pleasure involved with having a fetish. However, if I had to do everything over, I would rather give up the fetish and not have the problems that caused me to develop it in the first place. I'd rather have been unharmed, and not have any pleasure at all, for that matter.

 

[Sunjob]

I certainly would. I see the tickling fetish as much more of a curse than anything. The fact is, it's exceptionally hard to find somebody who's interested in the fetish and anybody I have been intimate with hates or dislikes being tickled.

I know plenty of people will disagree but I see it as more of a curse than anything. Life would be much simpler if I was without a tickling fetish, that's for sure. Even if I do find somebody to tickle then it wont take back all the time it's taken and all the missed opportunities.

But that's me, I'm sure plenty of people disagree and can see the benefits much more clearly than I can.

Mairead (ticklishgiggle) echoes my thoughts exactly, and I'll add this: for me, it's just as much fun to tickle someone until she's red-faced and exhausted.

The problem i have with it is that i have lost interest in any sexual activity, tickling has replaced that, and is the only thing that turns me on. This i know will effect me later to a greater degree when/if i want to settle down and have kids etc. It makes some things tough for both me and a GF. That is why i would probably rather not be born with the fetish, although i cant imagine not having it. I also think it has helped make me the person i am today in a positive way.
Anyone have the same feelings please tell

 

[chrisheaven]

wouln't wanna be without it at all-love it

 

[AffectionateDan]

Oh, HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL no!

This is who I am! The only thing I'd change now, given 20/20 hindsight, is going back and taking up all those missed opportunities! Finding this community has given me more joy, and enabled me to give the same, than I could have ever hoped or dreamed. Get rid of it? Hell no... I'd give it to everybody if I could!

When it gets to the point of actually replacing "normal" sexual activity, it's refered to as a paraphilia. If it's total and you have a desire to have children, it's something you'll definately need to deal with at some point. The fact that tickling turns you on can actually be used to help with that and get you in the mood to have intercourse if you decide to do that. The only thing you might want to look at is if this is simply your preference or if there's another reason why you don't want intercourse. As long as there's no underlying issue and you aren't worried about having kids (or if you're open to adoption), there really isn't a problem...provided your partner shares the same feelings about it.

You know, I replied to this thread when it first popped up a couple months ago. At this time, I would like to revise my answer. My new answer is NO, absolutely not, no way, no how...so there.

 

[dark_tickles]

I wouldn't ever give up my fetish. It has created who I am today, and I'm so not afraid to admit that I have it! I love having it, too. I'm used to not want it, but now that I'm able to get tickled on a daily basis by my friends and my bf, it's too amazing to get rid of 🙂 And without it, I wouldn't have met so many wonderful people on here

 

[Tickler Bart]

Give up my tickling fetish?
Why would I EVER do that?
These little 'quirks' define who we are.
How boring life would be without it.
There are times I wish I were more 'normal', but what IS 'normal' ?
Give it up? HELL NOOO.

 

[His Divine Shadow]

I'd say not. This little love of mine hasn't just brought fun directly related to tickling, but has also created connections to completely unrelated things. Without my little love of tickling, I doubt I'd have been online enough to bother creating a website, or, indeed, any kind of online presense. Without the online presense, I might never have found my second love, Anime. Without tickling, I'd be something too different to contemplate.

 

[cncreteman]

Im not to sure i would ,however i have found that my urge to want to see or tickle feet has put some serious strains on my relationships,,,I mean I feel cursed sometimes with it,,,every lady i see,,no matter what or who,,i seem to be directed to look down and just "wonder" are they ticklish?
it follows me around all the time,,,in conversations i always want to slip in there and see if i can get out of them if there ticklish,,,or just to engage in tickling conversation..It sometimes is a real burden,,
this fetish of mine was a reason my last relationship failed. I mean at least a big part of it,,My fascination with ticklish feet led me to want to correspond with others regarding and i crossed the line in doing so without letting my GF know. Its a love/ hate relationship,,this whole foot tickling thing with me,,on one hand i wish i didnt have it,its too distracting,,,but on the other hand,,its what makes me kind of unique,,i mean anyone can appreciate the "normal" goodies a beautiful woman has to offer..us foot guys know how to appreciate all of a woman,,,My problem and im wondering if its this way with any others is,,,I seem to want to get others involved in the tickling,,whether it be me and the GF tickling another girl,,or even to have another guy tickle her feet,,,
Now comes the REAL issue,,,if you open up about your foot fetish and how much you like it,,then theres always that in the way of being able to tickle another with your GF because to the non tickle fetish person,,its always,,,i mean always equated with SEX!!! which for a tickler like me,,,just really sucks,,,cause only us ticklers know that the tickling is ALL we want,,,along with the memory as well,at least with like a friend to tickle etc,,,now with your partner,,thats different,,,anyone following me,,?,,but once that floodgate is opened,( being turned on by tickling) you can never escape the sexassociation..
I know im rambling but this question really hit home,,,I fell in love,,had the perfect girl i could tickle anytime i wanted,,and let it all slip away because i felt the need to want to tickle more feet,,,Thats whn i start to think i wish i didnt have this passion🙁 its very sad,,,if i could have just somehow convinced her that i CAN tickle another womans feet without wanting her in a sexual way,,i would have been the king of the world,,but her knowing how much tickling feet turns me on,,just flat out ruined that for me,,,it didnt matter if i didnt love her,,i was turned on tickling another woman and that was too much for her,,,and it makes me as sad as sad can be when i think of it,,i mean as far as her feet,,they were perfect,,,and literally i was able to do whatever, whenever i wanted to them,,,sighhhhhh,,,this damn fetish!
Hope that wasnt to long for everyone,,but it was a great question and i could go on and on about it,,take care

I agree with what you're saying.

It's not that I don't love tickling, it's just, if I didn't love tickling and I never had then I have to presume my life would've been a lot better and my relationships would've been much more stable.

 

[feetclimax]

To rid myself of my fetish is to rid myself of myself. It wouldnt be me, i wouldnt be who i am today and i LOVE the person who I am. And i want to be with someone who will love me for all of my aspects, the good and the bad, thats what its all about, im not just gonna erease some parts of me for the benifit of others, and it sure wouldnt benifit me to get rid of something im proud to be born with.

Theres an old saying " You like them for the good qualities but love them for the faults" something like that anyways.

Ill find someone who will accept me, all of me, including this fetish side of me. The good man upstairs made this way and im proud of who I am!

 

[BigJim]

No, I wouldn't get rid of it.

Being what I am (not just being a tickler, but everything that makes me up) is a learning and growing experience. Yes, some aspects of life would be a hell of a lot easier if I was "normal", but I've learned a hell of a lot through being the way I am. It is hard to listen to actors characters on sitcomes talking about arses and breasts and wondering why you could hardly care less, but what the hell! I'm in this for the long-haul.

 

[Michael514]

I myself have weighed the facts on both sides and my conclusion is no way. If my foot/tickling fetish is the worst I've got then so be it. The women that I have been blessed with to let me have their feet all have said that they never have met a guy quite like me and when they were forwarned I was a little weird and they thought it was something really perverted. When they found out it was a simple foot/tickling fetish, publically they were silent but privately they loved it. Not only the attention they were receiving but the actual kissing and tickling of their feet as well. They commented that it was a world they never were in before. Like they said, they were told I was into something really perverted andd they makes me think. If I was attracted to some other part of a female, like I am to their FEET, would I be in jail, divorced, etc. I came to terms with my foot/tickling fetish long ago and I love it and who I am. Simply put I love to kiss, nibble and TICKLE a women's stockinged feet, and that's as far as it goes. NO,IN MY OPINION, I would not have it any other way. THANX

 

[Vae]

Not in less I exchanged it for another fetish, with out a fetish sex and probably life in general would just be so boring. Ok it might not always be easy to express but most of the other entreating stuff in life like snowboarding, sky diving and paintballing are also so expensive.

A friend of mine said the same thing to me last night when we were talking about fetishes. I'm also torn on this issue, but the more I think about it... the more I realize I DO enjoy my fetish more than I'd like to admit. It is fun for me and it feels so good; I just have trouble accepting it as something not weird.

To be honest, before I told my fiance about my fetish, sex was getting mundane. When I opened up to this, he was ecstatic. He's told me many times that my fetish makes thing much more enticing and fun for him and for me, even if he doesn't share the fetish.

So my answer: no, I would not ever get rid of it, even if I have my issues with it.

 

[Hiryu]

If you could have been born without your fetish for tickling/being tickled/watching tickling (or what have you), would you have preferred that to your current situation.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeell no!! And normalcy disgusts me.

Hiya
I'm so with Vae on this one!

Being ticklish and loving it has added a fresh dimension to most of my relationships. It's hard to explain. The physical side of a relationship can be kind of like buying gifts for people. At first you get decent gifts because it's hard to go wrong. But after a while it becomes more difficult. But if the person has a major hobby or something then you always have an angle for gift-giving. It's the same with tickles. Being ticklish means that he always has a way to make togetherness special.

Does that make sense?

Many blessings,
Chickles

It's indeed a great question. My primary fetish is actually a foot fetish, and my secondary (that originated the first one) is the love for tickling, all of these from childhood.
I'll have to differ from those that think it's a curse or a shame, first because, a curse, is hurting somebody and not being able to stop, and a shame, is stealing and not being able to run. People shouldn't worry too much about trying to be "normal", besides, the hole "normal" concept is relative, i mean people aren't all wired the same way, some like to go to that place, some others like to go to that other one, someone's like this, and some others are like that (you get the point).
Then again,if you'd become "normal" your problems wouldn't go away, no, you would have other problems (maybe serious ones), life ain't easy to anybody. Everyone has to have the courage to face who they are. It's the little things that makes us special, being able to see what other people can't, it's like a gift!
Never be ashamed of who you are, i bet that because of the fetish people gained a hole new perspective on things, they learned to respect everyone for any choises preferences they've made. And that is one of the most honourable atitudes one can have. Life is too short to waste on doubts, never stop fighting to find what you really want regardless of everything else.
