Hello all.

I just discovered this forum this morning and I've been devouring all of your discussions since. I apologize if this has been asked before but i didn't see anything when i searched, but something I'm noticing is there seems to be very little discussion of any sexual aspect of it for the most part. So that has me curious. Is tickling a sexual thing to you or is it something else?

Welcome! 🙂 Here's a thread that has a lot of responses you may be interested in: https://www.ticklingforum.com/threads/is-tickling-always-sexual-to-you.442055/

There's nothing wrong with having another thread about it–I just didn't want you to miss that one. My response from that thread is:
It's very context dependent for me. I have tickled some family and kids of friends and family where the only way I feel about it is that it is good wholesome fun. When tickling adult women not in my family, it usually has a sexual charge to it, but the degree of that, and how much that shows through totally depends upon how the lee feels about it and interacts with it. Generally, being tickled is more often sexually stimulating, but again, the degree of how much so can depend upon the other person. I try not to engage in tickling unless I know I can prevent being tickled myself, or the other person is aware of how it affects me. Whether from the sexual or the nonsexual side of it, I have always been self-conscious of my fixation on tickling and seldom bring it up or express it in anyway outside of the community.

Welcome to the TMF, Aoh10924, and congratulations on making your first posts. 😀
This is a wonderful place. Have fun here.

To answer your question, yes, tickling is sexual to me.
 
No. I simply love tickling for tickling. It is fun, a stress release, bonding, and I like the aesthetic imagery of it.

In the past I embraced the term, "fetish" (placed upon us from start), because my original (and correct) understanding of the word was along the lines of intense like / obsession for it. However, I know disavow this label because it is always attributed to a purely sexual thing even though it has different meanings.

I am completely content to tickle for tickling sake, without anything sexual attached and will have no sexual feelings from it.

Any sexual intimacy that involve tickling is not because of the tickling, but because of the comfort and intimate relationship to the other person, and knowing things are headed toward sexual activity between us

Interesting. So you don't like that it's associated with sexuality to some people? It almost sounds like you feel kind of guilty about it
 
For better or worse, it's sexual for me. I'm guessing this is why I don't like seeing guys tickled. The only people I like tickling or seeing tickled are women I'm sexually attracted to, and that's how it's always been for me.

No. I do not care, but i do feel many are confused regarding that. It is simply as I said.

Rather, I do not like that it is generally only associated with sexuality because this is ridiculous. This makes it into something it is not.
Why does it have to be strictly sexual, why cannot people simply enjoy it for its sake?
If you have not become known of this community, it would remain just for what it is, and big liking of it, without a label.
 
I reckon you could say yes for me, as I get aroused about it and as a gay guy, like /m tickling. I never engage in tickling with women/children for this reason. Women have cooties, of course, and it would be inappropriate for me with a child because there is no platonic tickling for me.

However, there is also the fact that I could go the rest of my life without sexual contact, as that really isn't appealing to me anyway.

So, I don't know exactly what that would mean. I do not need to orgasm when turned on from tickling and definitely do not need to engage in anything sexual before, during, or after it.
 
first off, WELCOME!

To answer your question, no, it is not sexual for me. Unless I want it to be- which is only with my wife. I have tickle sessions with play partners and it’s totally plutonic and no sexual feelings exist. I’ve found success with meeting tickle partners that feel the same. I am a male and I am married. I have mainly female lees but also male lees.
There’s no sexual feelings here.

Yes, it always has been for me, it goes hand in hand. I've always imagined tickling and being tickled in a sexual scenario. I get the feeling that it's not sexual for most, judging by what people say here in the forum, or, by the tickling videos I have seen. I get sexually aroused from tickling someone, or from being tickled. I did once meet someone in the TMF chatroom who had the same desires, so I know I'm not the only one. Unfortunately I lost touch with this woman, but I'm hoping we connect again, or I can meet someone who's similar.

imho members of tmf are mainly fetishists who are into it sexually so dont give up looking in here for your match as i found u rlly nice and this is probz one of the biggest meeting places
 
Much like other expressions of affection, it depends on the context. Tickling is only something I would feel comfortable receiving from a romantic partner or play partner. But the mood of tickling can range from casual affection to playful, sexual, or sadistic. It depends on the scene or interaction. I've had scenes that were gentle and friendly, and sessions that ended in orgasms from tickling alone. Context and style of tickling is important.
 
It honestly depends on who it's with.
I'm a fairly ruthless Ler and will happily tickle a willing Lee into insanity and beyond.
However there are the gentler, more seductive types of tickling. And I can see how that could turn sexual with the right person.

Interesting! I didn't even think about it but it does make a lot of sense that the tickling style used would change depending on the context
 
As others have said, Welcome, Aoh! Thanks for the question and thanks to @WickedTouch for sharing a link I started last October on the same topic. In my world, this question never gets old 🙂 Love to talk about tickling in this capacity every day of the week and twice on Tickle Tuesday (happy belated by the way lol). I’ll go on record again and say that tickling is, and has always been, a very sexual experience for me. I always feel that tension with it, like I’m playing with fire so to speak when talking about tickling in a non-sexual setting. Love to read others‘ thoughts on the subject, ESPECIALLY women who do get sexual pleasure from being tickled. I know it’s rare, but when a woman shares that with you, it’s quite amazing! Thanks again, Aoh, for the question and again, Welcome to the TMF 🙂
 
It really depends on context. Some people use it a bonding experience.(tickle fights like family gatherings) Some people use it as pranks. (friends using tickling as an act of mischeif) Some people use it to spice things up in bedroom. (well you know) Some people use it for therapeutic reasons. (few therapist out there that helps people battle mental health challenges)
