Is tickling sexual or non-sexual for you?

I've noticed that there are a few people on the forum who appear to be into tickling just for the fun of it and it's not at all sexual for them. I wondered if this is true or a misunderstanding on my part.

For me, it's a very deep part of my sexual identity and has been since even before I knew about sex (my mother has a friend whose feet I tried to tickle when I was about 2 - I'm not ashamed to admit I had no idea about sex at that age).

So I'm just interested to hear from people who love tickling, but don't find it sexy, as well as people who are unable to divorce tickling from sexual situations.
 
Part 2

Thinking about it, the other thing I'm interested in is whether you think you could have a non-sexual tickling experience if you find it sexy or if you think it could be sexual if you don't.

I hope I'm not retreading old ground here, but I don't think I've seen this asked before whilst I've been around.

Cheers,
 
This is definitely covered ground, but the answer is that tickling is different things to different people. Most people will probably tell you that it has sexual significance, even if sex is not a necessary component. Others will say that tickling is strictly playful.

It all depends upon the individual, their personal experiences, and their willingess to be open about it.
 
I tickle for the fun of it, sure it can get arrousing but it will always be fun for me
 
I agree with the other post for the most part. tickling can be lots of fun in a platonic setting, but one cant help the sexual overtones under the right circumstance. That does not mean one has to have sex but the sexual tension does add an intresting aspect.
 
For me, it can be either depending on the context and who it's with.
 
Ok

I'm going to play devil's avacado here.

Can anyone give an example of a situation they were in where there was tickling going on and there were absolutely no sexual overtones at all. I think that maybe ... just maybe that people who think it isn't sexual are in some kind of denial.

I hope it goes without saying that I'm not talking about any situations involving minors - I mean tickling between consenting adults.

Prove me wrong:xpulcy:.
 
Example from about 10 years ago:

A female cousin of mine was sitting with her socked feet on the coffee table on top of a magazine that I wanted to read. I asked her to move them so I could get the magazine and there was no response. I tickled her foot and she jerked it away. I got the magazine. For me, the only emotion I felt was annoyance at her, nothing sexual or even flirtatious.
 
Fair enough - but why did you tickle her? Couldn't you just have pushed her feet out of the way? Are you sure there wasn't a sexual thing going on deep down even if it wasn't particularly connected to her?
 
Tickling for me is, for whatever reason, more sexually tinged than most other forms of play. I don't really know why that might be, but I don't generally engage in it with play partners unless I'm intimately involved with them.
 
For me it is sexual in the sense I would not indulge in tickling with a man or a woman I did not find attractive, just like I would not have sex with a man or a woman I do not find attractive. However, tickling for me is better if there is not the pressure of sex itself involved. I know many will disagree, but that's just me.

I agree. In fact, for me, tickling has, at times, replaced 'the sexual act' :lovestory. My feeling is that on some level (again assuming that you are with a consenting adult and a non-family member) there is something sexual going on as, by it's very nature, tickling involves some degree of intimacy:3poke:. I think it's like the whole foot massage conversation at the beginning of Pulp Fiction - we (can) pretend it isn't sexual but it is, which is why it's so cool as it can be subtley sexual or overtly sexual and caters to all tastes, but it is nonetheless sexual.

I just don't think people would go to the trouble of seeking out this forum if it wasn't appealing to them on some deeper level. I mean, I enjoy having my back massaged, but I wouldn't look for a forum about it.

I'm saying my bit here, but don't mind if you disagree with me. I'm genuinely interested in what people think. What I like about this forum is there are plenty of people who can form a coherant argument and yet still talk about vorpal bunnies with equal passion.
 
Really I think it depends on the people involved. I can't deny the sexual tension when I tickle my gf, and when with someone else it's kinda like playing a very unique sport. We have fun and it doesn't go any deeper than that. I sometimes use tickling to provoke women into doing things, but that's more because I dislike causing pain, or I know they hate it and will probably give a stronger reaction than if I push them or something.
 
Tickling is very sexual for me, usually. I pop a hell of a woody when I pin down a lady friend and tickle her silly, but generally only if we're intimate anyway.

Sex, great in and of itself, is always enhanced by tickling, but the two don't need to always take place at the same time.

On the other side of the same coin, however, if I am in a particularly cruel and sadistic mood, I can trap my lady friend's feet between my knees or under my arm and cruelly tickle the girl to the brink of insanity without being turned on at all. Sometimes I just like to listen to the begging, squealing laughter and feel her writhe around in agony.

Sometimes a like a little power trip, hehe.
 
It seems to be predominantly sexual, though I have surprised myself many times by not being aroused at all after a long tickle fight.
 
What sucks is when you get aroused without realizing it in a situation where it might not be appropriate to be so....like when you're hanging out with your girlfriend's friends and one of them gets into a tickle fight with someone else, and you pop a woody...
 
Popping a Woody ...

But, at least that doesn't suck as much as popping a Woody Allen.

It is sexual for me.
Whenever I start to slowwwly stroke a pair of bare soles . . . (Heavy sigh).
Whenever I gently stroke a bare armpit or poke a a ribcage . . (Oh my . . . )
Whenever I lightly graze a bare belly . . . (WOW)
 
I think it can be both. Its apart of sex every time I have it but it's different when I tickle my son. My son is 2 years old and the nurses noticed at the hospital how ticklish he was even then. Now one of his only words is tickle. When he's caught doing something he's not suppose to he says "tickle tickle tickle" to be cute and avoid trouble. He also knows my feet are ticklish and tickles me when my socks are off. He obviosly doesnt know its sexual and I'm not being sexual when I tickle him. It's all about context. Just because I use tickling as forplay doesnt mean I'm being perverted when I tickle my son.
 
I agree with the majority. it can go either way depending on who it's with and the context. I'll tickle my girlfriends and my guy friends just out of playful fun and it won't have any sexual significance.

But if its someone I'm already attracted to then it becomes a little bit sexual, even if its only for me. And when i become interested in a guy the first thing i wonder is if he's ticklish. But if he wasn't, it wouldn't be a deal breaker or anything, just added fun. that said, even with someone I already like, tickling can just be for fun without being sexual. i hope i'm nto being repetitive.
 
It's a fetish....

It's a non-sexual act that evokes sexual feelings. That's why this forum is here. That's why all the clips are out there.

For me, it parallels sex in several ways:

I'm not sexually interested in large women--I don't like tickling them or watching them be tickled

I'm not gay--don't like tickling men or watching them be tickled

Not into youngsters--don't tickle them, other than a friendly poke that evokes no sensual feeling

I understand tickling is different for others...

I've always been grateful that God didn't give me a fetish for pain or animals, or other stuff that is gross to me.
