M/M confusion

[taptoematt]

Hi all, a couple of weeks ago I was doing a pedicure on a man, who happened to have very ticklish feet. I've had my fair share of ticklish women, but never any men until now.The worst part is I liked the it. Does that make me gay or some kind of demented tickler ?

 

[the wiz]

[Umojar]

Not just gay... HARD GAY!

 

[badreligion]

In what way did you like it? Did it excite you in a sexual way? Did you find it funny? Remember, human sexuality is complicated.

 

[taptoematt]

Well, at first I found it a little uneasy, but then after finding all his spots, I always went back for some extra tickles, like I was testing him.

 

[badreligion]

still it makes you nothing , u tickled someone .. it means nothing

 

[taptoematt]

It may not mean anything, but it did make me feel mighty strange, like I was switching sides. Maybe that's the root of my confusion ?

I would agree with badreligion,just a random event and nothing to worry about.

 

[Stage Whisper]

Girls can like f/f and not be accused of being gay. What's so wrong with liking tickling a guy's feet? Tickling's tickling.

Besides, guys do have some very sexy laughs. 🙂

 

[vegasfootboy]

its all good

everyone has an opinion on this topic, and they are always interesting to hear. The thing is that tickling in and of itself can be a very exciting thing and yes it can be sexually exciting without you having to be gay. Did you have the urge for sex with this person when you were tickling him? im guessing not, and that you just were experiancing the excited rush of the tickling itself which is perfectly fine and normal for those with this fetish. Women seem to be a bit more evolved and mature when it comes to the same sex tickling thing. Noone thinks they are gay when they tickle each other but for some reason guys think its gay to just be sitting next to another guy at the movies? Always sitting with the hetrosexual buffer zone of an empty seat between them lol! kinda dumb if you ask me. Enjoy the fun of tickling! and to hell with those that think it means anything other than what it is.

I would say yes, your gay. If you get excited by touching or looking at a man in some way your probably gay, but that's your buisness no one elses.

If you've made it here to the TMF, you're already demented.

 

[PainTrain]

Exactly. If you liked tickling a man. Tickle some men. Tickle women also. It IS okay to like both, you know. 🙄

 

[maniactickler]

Ive always thought a man who tickles another man might be in question. im not saying youd jump in bed with another guy, but it kinda opens the door that you might be tempted to swing both ways. i find it a complete and utter turn off to even attempt to tickle a man. not even if you paid me. it just seems pretty fruity. do you work at a spa? if it were me, i wouldnt have even taken a guy as a customer. i would have referred him to a female employer. touching another mans feet is just umm....gross.

 

[Kalamos]

Maybe that's the root of my confusion?

Maybe you should just stop listening to typical nonsense about fixed sexuality.
Gender is for reproduction.
Company, whatever kind, is what you choose or feel attracted to.

 

[Cosmo_ac]

IMO, a fetish need not be gender exclusive. Some straight people only enjoy tickling/being tickled by members of the opposite sex, and thats fine. Some staight people however also enjoy tickling/being tickled by those of the same sex, and thats fine to. YOu better then anybody else known your own sexual orientation, and don't let others tell you otherwise.

 

[Coda]

There are lots of control-y things that guys like to do with each other without being gay, like hitting each other's targets in a dunking booth or tasering each other on YouTube.

I think the only reason I'd be confused in your position would be just because I've heard so many people talk about the association between tickling and sexuality, that I might take it for granted that one might infer the other if I hadn't thought it through on my own.

My two cents

I might be able to put some perspective on this, since I am gay and have tickled plenty of str8 guys.

Straightness and gayness are orientations. Whether you get turned on by tickling a guy's feet or a gal's, it has no bearing on your orientation. Tickling is what turns you on.

If you are starting to feel strange about how you feel when you tickle a guy's feet, it's because you've been trained, as we all have, that a guy who gives any sort of physical closeness to another guy is queer. That's why a few of the responses show the closedmindedness you would expect.

There's not one thing about what you did that shows any type of sexual encounter--closeness, yes, but sexual, no. If you, presumeably, are turned on by tickling someone, the tickling itself will probably get you off regardless of gender.

Your interest in tickling as an activity may be strong enough that you may have an orgasm in the presence of another guy, but it will not change your orientation. Sexual responses to stimuli are more fluid than orientation. A woman could tickle my nipples until I cum, but I will never be straight--ever. It's simply a matter of knowing that another man makes me feel whole and complete.

There are many, many str8 guys out there who are closeted about their enjoyment of tickling other guys, because of the concerns you expressed. I'm glad you posted about it, because it gives another chance to say to those guys out there that you are not alone and you are not weird. It also does not mean you are going to "become" gay.

no way

Id have to say if you get into touching another males feet, i think your pretty gay, just an opinion but if another male tickled me or even tried to tickle me, id probably knock him out. NO im not homophobic i just love FEMALES touching me not males

 

[tickmankyle1]

hello

i have tickles a guy before and let him tickle me just cause it was that or nothing i'm not gay but just like tickling

 

[Anna6-9]

Have you ever watched Robin Williams Live? He did a bit about when he met that Gurilla. She grabbed him by the nipples and pulled and he said his mini robin said somebody wants to play! Does that mean he's only humping gurilla's now? No it doesnt! It was just a natural response.

 

[taptoematt]

Thank you everyone for your comments and insight, it has helped a great deal. I've come to realize my orientation is my own and tickling men won't change it. I'm sure it won't be the last time this will happen, and if it happens again , I can approach it with a open mind and take it for what it is, even if I do like it.

 

[indivision]

Look at it this way:

My sister sometimes tickles her female friends, and she is straight, as are all of her friends.

Why should it be any different for a man who happens to tickle a guy?

 

[kucheeku]

Good for you

That's the first step towards expanding your tickling horizons. 🙂 Many other guys need to follow your lead.
