Longtime Lurker, First-time Caller

[TicklerV]

To whomever this finds,

Honest to God I don't know where to begin. I've had a foot, tickle, and bondage fetish since childhood that I've run from accepting. I've indulged here and there, with ex gfs of all walks of life... but I've never truly, fully allowed this to envelop my very core the way my mind craves it to. I'd like to change that. Beginning tonight.

A little bit about me is that I'm in a big city, love to visit big cities, have no social media, and am by all accounts conventionally attractive (6 ft, 200 lbs, tatted, former athlete, and dark hair & features) and pretty socially capable. As cringe as that sounds to even type, I don't say it to brag, I say that as the reality that it is my mask. It allows me to get the benefit of the doubt in most professional or just social situations. But the reality is I'm extremely anxious, a hypochondriac, and even though I've had it basically offered to me; something in me hasn't allowed my deepest fantasy of seeing my gf tied up and foot tickle tortured by a group of women.

Which brings me to my next point being; that I socially isolate. Most likely due to a violent trauma from childhood I find it hard to trust. I crave isolation almost as much as I crave women to toetie and torture... and as of late I've found that to be something I'd like to change... so this is a shot in the dark to finally gain some true community. I'm one of you all. And in that sense we have a kinship. I believe that together we can all accomplish the task of getting more vanilla women (& men if thats your cup of tea) to indulge and be tickle tortured out of their mind. If even a one off. A fun night of letting go of all stressors and submitting to the laughter. Before we all run out of time on this earth to make our biggest fantasies come true.

So yea, I hope to meet as many of you as possible on here and bounce stories and ideas off each-other. I urge you guys not to be strangers. The faster I acclimate the faster I can give you guys great tickle torture content and honestly just connect. Like my secret pals.

V.

Hi there, I can relate in a lot of ways, I'm shy myself, and though I crave being with people, I'm not good at getting out there and taking chances...so it's probably the same thing being on a site like this, but at least I'm here, and so are you, so I wish you the best of luck.

I did lurk on this site for a while too, before having the confidence to post. I've talked to a few people here who said the same, so I don't think that's unusual.

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

Just wanted to say—I really admire the vulnerability and honesty in this post. It takes serious courage to speak openly about the things we’ve buried or run from, especially in a community where even shared kinks can sometimes feel isolating.

I’m also trying to be more of a participant here, and so far so good. Wishing you the best of luck in all your ticklish endeavors—and hoping you find the connection and community you’re looking for. You're definitely not alone.

Hi! Welcome! I hope you are able to come back to this thread to know you are not alone.

Oddly enough, I have had so much success finding tickling partners just by being honest and true to myself. I've met a few ladies that were eventually tied down and tickled (by me) on online dating apps. It sounds crazy but it's true.

I met a really sweet girl on an app called Plenty Of Fish. Katie was 29 at the time. She had a new starfish tattoo on her left foot, always taking her sock off to show me. She loved it when I specifically tickled her starfish... which lead to tickling her toes... the heels.... By being kind, non-threatening and genuinely interested in her, she opened up and basically wanted me to tickle her starfish when we would cuddle or spend time having fun. That led to into to tickle torture, and she ended up bound in an X position in thick leather straps and tickled out of her mind. AND SHE LOVED IT.
We're on the couch, and suddenly her feet are bare and on my thigh so I can see and play with her starfish tattoo. We did this on the regular, and it always ended up with foot tickling- and she knew that and wanted it, badly.

Welcome to the forum. Be true to yourself and don't be ashamed of your tickling fantasies.

Hey! Welcome! Great first post and I am sorry to hear about some of the stuff you went through when you were younger. Hopefully you have a great experience while youre here.

Gotta say though, I am a little skeptical of the whole "getting more vanilla into tickling" thing. I think on this site and in the fetish community in general, it is sometimes underestimated or oversimplified just how much many regular vanilla people out there in the world hate tickling and feet (for you foot fetishists out there). That doesnt mean we cant try to convert a few people. Some are curious and open-minded.

But I have heard more vanilla people talking about how much they hate being tickled and its torture for them and they can't stand it and they will commit acts of violence against people that tickle them, than I have talking about how they dont mind being tickled.

I actually had a girl I almost dated in high school that I swear I tickled a few times. Beautiful girl, probably one of the most attractive I almost dated. I personally remember her having really ticklish sides and feet but she used to scream and hate it. She told me once that tickling is actually a pain response and we argued about it. How could it be painful? I argued. Doesnt make sense. Ended up talking to her years later and she swears she isnt ticklish at all and she cant remember any of that ever happening, so who knows.

Moral of the story: A LOT of people outside of this community hate tickling.
