Is Tickling morally acceptable?

[TICKLERBOY123]

Is tickling morally acceptable? Whe i first realised that i had a fetish for tickling i became very disheartened. With tickling being a from of torture i was deeply troubled by the revelation that i enjoyed torturing people. I thought that the whole idea of tying somebody up and tickling them beyond their limits was cruel and sadistic. However, with time i grew to accept tickling. I was still on dogy ground, but i gradually became desenstitised to the pain and discomfort that that the ticklees must experience. I started to justify my actions and vindicate my decisions to indulge in tickling. "The models get paid to be tickled", and "They MUST surely enjoy it!" were phrases that made acceptable my decisions to view tickling media, whilst i am still unsure as to whether it is right to tickle someone - when blatantly anyone being tickled wants the tickling to end.
WHAT MADE ME DECIDE TO BLATHER ON ABOUT THIS?? I was on a a web page today, called Dragon Films i think. On this page, along with tickling, i came across some pretty disturbing stuff. This company makes videos for people who like to see people drowned, who like to see people strangled and asphyxiated and they produce a line of "Belly Punching" videos. What concerns me is not that there are some pretty sick people in this world (i don't mean to offend anyone who likes seeing people drowned and punched in their bellies, but it is just not my thing - but i guess you have little choice in the matter (do you think i chose to have this tickling fetish? no! and nor did you)), but what concerns me is that TICKLING was ranked alongside ASPYXIATION, STRANGULATION, DROWNING AND BELLY PUNCHING
Is out tickling fetsih as bad as a fetish from seeing women beaten and strangled to death? I hope now!
Please reply.....

I REALLY SHOULD CHECK MY POSTS BEFORE SUBMITING THEM - my above post is unintelligable in parts...

Don't let it bother you

Hey TicklerBoy, it's all on how you view it. People also tickle each other to show affection towards each other. Parents tickle their kids to show love and kids tickle each other in a playful way. I understand where you coming from, because I have also stummbled across websites like those, but there is no way to label it a kind of ruthless torture, unless you are doing it in a playful kind of way, like to make someone tell you something you want to know 😀. There are far more worse methods to torture people, and I doubt that tickling would be in the top 10. So don't let it bother you man.

 

[TICKLERBOY123]

I tend to agree with you tickler4life but with the inclusion of tickling on a site specialising in forms of torture used to ultimately end someones life....
Well, it makes me wonder if my interpretation of tickling as something sexual and wonderful is just a little bit misguided.....i appreciate your response though.
thanks

Tickling to me is sexual

BOY, it does depend on your point of view. To me tickling is much more a sexual thing. The thought of stroking a beautiful woman's bare foot is highly erotic. The giggles that it ellicits are mind blowing foreplay. I enjoy it for that purpose. To me tickling is a form of foreplay.

However, there is an aspect to tickling that goes to the psychology of control. More times than not that control deals with the torture aspect of tickling. Thru tickling you can make the ticklee feel that loss of control, sometimes to the point of pain. My thought is that you'll sleep better if you view it from the control point of view instead of the pain thing. I've many times myself have thought your thoughts. I actually got through it in an interesting way. May I explain:

My tickling fetish was driving me crazy at a point during my marriage because my wife wasn't into it at all. She was so ticklish it was painful for her. Well I felt like I need to explore my fetish, and since I live very near NYC, I began a search for a fetish club that would allow me to endulge myself. My expectation was that I get a beautiful submissive who'd allow me to tie her down and just tickle the hell out of her feet. I had never used bondage with tickling before but all the vids and pics and literature I had seen at the time (mid 1990's)led me to believe thats how ya tickled. Well I found a place and set up an appointment. I choose a beautiful redhead as my first bondage tickle victim. Since this was a fetish club she was prepared to be tied and tickled. Well she entered the room with the ropes and something in me freaked, inside. I got scared so I asked if we could just sit and test her ticklishness before we went to the ropes. Well we did just that and what I found was that I could satisfy my fetish in an unbelievable way without the ropes. Her feet were so sensitive to the touch that soft stroking made her giggle uncontrolably. It was so much fun. I never did use the ropes, there wasn't any need. I found the type of tickling I like. It was so erotic and fun. I had control but in a soft sexual and fun way. I was hooked.

Now I've done this several times since and each time I'm more drawn to this style of tickling. You'd be suprised who's in to it 😉. Hey its not for everyone. Im not trying to tell anyone how to live there fetish life either. I still love the stories that are posted here. I have many tickling videos and every single one of them uses some type of bondage.

What I am saying is you might want to try it my way and see if that meets your needs. Don't freak either your thoughts aren't strange unless you act upon them in a malicious way. Like tickling someone to death 😀 (JUST A JOKE...ok)

 

[TICKLERBOY123]

Thanks for your perspective Giantfan. I like what you say!!🙂

 

[tickler4life]

I agree

I could't agree more with both you guys. I understand that some people use the art of tickling in other ways than what most of us do. But it's all about knowing how to control yourself and to know when to stop. I tickle most of my homegirls and it's fun, usually they try to do it back, so to me I view it as a playful thing. The fact of the matter is to use self control and know the limits. However, I think there will always be something in me that will always like tickling bondage and girls screaming begging someone else to stop. Most girls like it too, as I have found out 😀, but in most cases they will like it even more when they get their revenge 🙁.

 

[tickler4life]

What the?

Hey Giantfan, ya'll got fetish clubs? Wow, that's cool, I wish we had some. I guess I better start looking for some, lol. Oh you also make a good point evilqueen. Hey Ticklerboy, love your country, especially during this time, a big thanks from the Americans.

the subjectivity of morality

Is it morally acceptable to whom? It all depends on what you do, and your intent, for me.

This is where I drag out the analogy to kissing. If you listen, you can hear the oldtimers here groan. This tired old chestnut comes out every so often, to show that kissing is a subjective action.

You kiss your parents, yes? But, wait... You kiss your lover, too! Ew! Immorality! Oh, wait, kissing is different in how it's applied, and in what is meant by a kiss. How you kiss each is different, and further separated is how you'd kiss a friend, a niece or nephew, etc.

In other words, it depends on the who and what of the situation.

If you ALWAYS get aroused by tickling, without exception, it's a good idea not to tickle people you aren't wanting as a lover. If you stick to that, in that scenario, the morality, subjective or not, is not a line likely to be crossed by tickling.

If you've the fortune of differentiation in the act of tickling, then it's how you do it and why, and the response you get, that dictates such. Where it *feels* sexual, don't do that with anyone but your lover (or lovers, if you're polyamorous). Otherwise, it's beyond moral restriction.

My $0.02 anyway,

pleasure or pain?

I get into tickling for fun and pleasure, not torture. If the person I'm tickling doesn't like it, I just stop. I don't think tickling should be a question of morality. It's the people who don't know when to stop who should question their own morality or motives.

Doesnt Matter

I really dont think it matters! I will do it regardless.....Smokin' weed aint morally acceptable but a crapload of people do that!?! LoL.....I dont think people who dont have the fetish think tickling is evil or anything like that, but the bondage tickling probably would be......to THEM anyway.....🙂

 

[shark]

I wouldn't worry about it BOY.Anything that excites senses can be used as torture,and when some enjoy it,it wouldn't be torture in that context.
As far as moral,I've seen Catholic nuns tickle school students as a form of play.Some may find it repugnant,but then again some only believe in sex to procreate,whether married or not.I f you're not forcing your ticklee into it,then I don't see how there would be any moral question.

other ideas for t4life

Hey t4life..........several other options for you:

Big cities like yours will probably have a fetish club or two but this might work too.............

ESCORTS......obvious and as noted on this board can be a good source of beautiful ticklish women.

GOGO BARS.........I don't know the rules in TX but in NJ most clubs don't mind you touching the ladies feet. This is the source for random foot tickling I like the best.

Unfortunately all of these cost money.......and sometimes quite a bit. Your best bet is is finding a beautiful women to date and then tickling her.

Hey BOY I second t4life's remarks. You Brits have been awesome friends.......THANKS!😉

 

[tickler4life]

Thanx Giantfan

Thanks Giantfan, I am not sure if we are allowed to touch the girls or not. I know that we are not allowed to touch the girls at our strip clubs, but thanks anyway man.

Is it morally acceptable to put us through another one of these ridiculous threads? 🙄

 

[ktickler]

Hmmm...

Tickling is not moral or inmoral. It is how and what you do with it. The circumstances around it and the way you behave are what make it moral or inmoral.

I would never consider brother and sister in a tickle fight to ever be inmoral.

Now, grabbing a complete stranger in the middle of the road and tickle her until she pees. What do you think?

Bye,

Knight Tickler

Amen, brother! 😎

 

[Myriads]

Someone said: Is it morally acceptable to put us through another one of these ridiculous threads?

Sure it is. New people will always be coming into the forum, and older members might find themselves facing a crisis about the issue after an event makes them look at their like in a new way. It's a need that is best answered by asking the question and ketting specific feedback, rather then reading older posts directed at others. So yes, it is morally acceptable to put us through it. One reason this forum here is to help folks with issues very much like this.

calm.....

I was just making a funny, not trying to insult anyone.

 

[Fetishshaman]

Actually I think my tickling fetish IS morally acceptable. Infact it's a viable alternative to sex, and has none of it's reprecussions. Now I don't have to get as close to the (Female) friends I've tickled (Commitment wise) although they do look at me kind of funny when I do it too often.
