Is the US the best place for tickling fetishists?

[MarkyisTickly]

I'm an 19 year old male living in Scotland. Because I'm young, I like to play the part of the cute, adorable male as the ticklee being tickled by girls the same age as me or older (not too old though). However, that fantasy only exists in my head because I can't find a single girl in my country into this. A lot of guys seem to have the same problem. And it seems like the only guys who don't are American ones, because American girls seem to have no trouble at all expressing their fetish. Many of you could argue that it's just because the US is a bigger country but when it comes to a girl looking for a guy, you have no problem in any country. But when it comes to a guy looking for a girl, your only best bet is in the US. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough? Either way, it's just how I feel. And I just can't move away from my country for it. I shouldn't have to do that. What do you guys think?

I've noticed an overabundance of tickling enthusiasts from the UK. Maybe you're looking in the wrong place. Try collarspace or fetlife. Trust me, you'll find someone.

Maybe if you look at it as a percentage of population, it may be we're all about the same (that &#^%^ed statistics stuff). Yeh, here in the US we got a lot more people than Scotland, so maybe it seems that more gals are into it. Maybe the gals there just aren't as open about it? Who knows... You could do a Ph D thesis on it.....I don't know what area it would be in - psychology maybe? You could become the Dr. Ruth of tickling (you need experiments, subjects...)!

It's strange; I have always thought it would be easier to find a female 'lee or 'ler in the UK because it seems like there are many on here, Twitter, etc who are from the UK, but I have no real statistics.
Based strictly on numbers, I can tell you that I get the most hits, by far on my site from the US, followed, usually by Ukraine, China and the UK. Of course, that doesn't tell me whether the hit is from a man or woman. I'm sure there are many willing female 'lees/'lers all over the world, they just have to be discovered. I've dated women who were definitely NOT into tickling when we met, but today they are, after having experienced it.
Keep looking; you'll find them!

It may be true that Americans are easier to convince to explore the fetish scene, but my experience is that Americans are also the most frigid about spontaneous, real life tickling. Americans like their personal space and aren't very touchy feely people, so it's hard for tickling to "just happen," especially once you're adults. Meanwhile, I meet women from Eastern Europe or Asia and they are so much more willing to just randomly tickle you, not because of a fetish or anything, but just because it's fun.

Overgeneralized. People are different all over, and within every country. I personally have had many experiences with tickling "just happening" in the US, from American women no less.

The bottom line is, you can't judge a population based on the experiences of an individual.

I've played with a couple of lovely ladies in the UK, but the ratio of guys/gals is probably 10 or 15 to 1 🙂

I'd try and get to munches, but the only bit of advice I can give is be patient..

 

[Myriads]

Statistically the paraphilia is equally spread across populations.

The US with 300+ million in population, when you take that base percentage of people that will have an affinity toward tickling will deliver a larger number of raw people. So you'll see a apparent deviation in participation biased toward the US. If we could remove the language, cultural issues, and political internet access problems from mainland China, odds are you'd be seeing a bias toward them.

So your percentages should be the same, there are just less people to be sampled from other nations.

I'm afraid that's your main problem. All you can do is gain as much experience as you can, and don't give up. Eventually you'll hit your stride. I 'lered with a lovely Scots Goth girl in my single days so yes, they do exist. Meanwhile if you're anywhere near Edinburgh, hit the Festival later on this summer and keep striking up conversations.

Oh god, not this again. I've had some experience tickling girls throughout my secondary school years but now, I'm slightly leaning towards lee and I've had moments of being tickled as well. I don't think age matters as long as you're an legal adult. Also, I'm nowhere near Edinburgh. I'm close to Glasgow though. Any chance there?

Afraid not- absolutely none.

I suggest you take up cribbage instead; at a pinch whist or piquet.

You're funny. Well there must be somebody.

You're funny. Well there must be somebody.

If you're close to Glasgow, try getting involved with the wider fet scene in Glasgow. I lived in Edinburgh for a few years and used to hit up clubs in Glasgow like Rebound and Violate. People are generally open minded and curious, even if tickling isn't their main bag. And I hate to agree with Libertine (sorry dude 😉 ) but keep persevering - that goes for 19 year olds and 90 year olds alike. 🙂

What I've noticed in the UK is that tickle-lovers are so spread out on different internet groups. The UKTF 'ticklebrits' has made a valiant effort to draw UK ticklelovers together but the regular users now on UKTF are less than a handful. People sign up, post 'tickle me/let me tickle you' and disappear. There's a UK section on here now.

I've found that you have to get out there for real. Find your local kink scene. Say you're into tickling. Stick to your guns. But be flexible. There are dommes who love a giggly ticklish guy i their clutches. You may prefer a woman around your age but an older woman might be just what you need to get the word round about how cute you are as a lee.

I've had to be flexible. I'm a lesbian (and one of those older women) but when I first came out onto the Scene I played with men, still do sometimes. I've been tickled by men, transwomen and now by more women (not all lesbian but I don't care if it feels good). Intense tickling does come to me more from men or tickle couples as women tend to so the sensual tickle stuff on other women.

There must be a fem dom scene in a city near you. If you're into rope bondage say you'd like to be a rope bottom (bunny). Lots of rope bottoms get tickled, particularly guys. I see it a lot in London. You might get your nipples tweaked too but once a female rigger gets her claws on you you'll get tickled to death! I've watched it happen (enviously, though I bottom in rope and that's where I've found my tickle friendly women and I've felt their nails).

Be patient. You are very young still. You have your youth still ahead of you. I'm having the time of my life and I'm ...well...a hell of a lot older than those bouncy young models in the porn.

Get thee to a munch young man 😉

It's really odd to me that you're having difficulty finding someone in Scotland who'll be the 'ler to your 'lee.
Speaking as a 20 year old American girl, you'd totally be able to find a girl in the US who'd be more than willing to help out the "hot foreign guy with the accent." Haha, trust me, for some reason girls always seem to fawn over guys with accents.
