Haha. Yes and no... but I think, in most non-tickle fetish people's minds, it's 4 main things:
1. Most people dislike being tickled. So anything to do with it, at least on our level, is usually a full stop.
2. Tickling is a casual thing, very often associated with adolescence, that kind of makes people uncomfortable.
3. There are quite a bit of us that associate tickling with feet, and feet is usually a full stop for many on a gross out scale. Similar with the eating thing.
4. Many of our self esteem levels about our fetishes are pretty low which can be a result of the 3 that I mentioned above.
I think the combination of those things leads to the appearance of a higher level of taboo than eating ***. Usually most of the people that are into the eating thing... they have this "no effs given" attitude about it in a "I'm a freak nasty in bed and I'm proud of it".. thus it is given the appearance that it is more acceptable because... they will have a "yeah... and what?" response to being called out on it that most of us don't with tickling.
I hope that makes sense. Like... eating you-know-what is something you'd literally only do during sex, even if it is gross to many people. But, tickling... there's just a bit more to it, especially when feet are involved that kind of adds on to it.
