Male/Male tickling

[ticklebear2]

Why is there such a stigma attached to m/m tickling? Myself, personally I see no problem with tickling other guys. We have f/f tickling and that is not weird to some women. Why is it so weird for m/m tickling? I am a very ticklish male who loves to be tickled by both sexes. I think that both females and males have something to offer a lee in waiting. All comments welcomed.

I don't attach any 'stigma' to it, personally nor do I pass judgement on those who enjoy it, but it's not my cup of tea, perssonally

Thank you for your response ticklemaster. I should clearify that tickling isn't always sexual. Tickling can be very casual for me. Tickling is sexual only if I have a deep connection with a person.

personally for me im a straight guy and tickling is a sexual thing for me so the thought of being tickled by another guy just doesnt appeal to me but thats just me tho personally i have nothing against it , just not my thing .

M/M is definetly not my thing.

To the degree that tickling is rooted to one's sexuality, choice in gender for tickling partners can seem to suggest something about sexual orientation. M/M tickling, therefore, suffers a stigma only insofar as does male homosexuality.

Stigma is, of course, separate from preference. I may not get into M/M tickling myself, but if people want to do that, that's great! Whatever makes 'em happy, and hey -- if it's tickling, then we still have something in common. 🙂

My preference is M/F but I don't disdain or stigmatize M/M, F/F, F/M or */* (whatever the heck that last one would be).

That's too much of an oversimplification in my opinion, maniac. There are a lot of guys who do not equate tickling with sex and at all. And there are others that while they might find m/f or f/m sexually exciting, can view m/m as just playful or competitive tickling with friends. And then of course, there are those that do view m/m sexually.

I personally have no interest in watching or participating in m/m as a matter of preference, but I wouldn't jump so quickly to state that whole branch of tickling is fruity. But we are all here because we enjoy tickling in some form. I do think it is somewhat unfortunate that f/f seems to generally accepted as not gay, while the inverse seems to be true for m/m. I say to each his own in what they like, and how they view that form of tickling.

Great thread ticklebear 2!

Ticklebear 2,

I know what you are saying there does seem to be very much a great big social and emotional/ tickle stigma that tends to be greatly frowned upon and looked at as classified as weird and strange-tends to be seen as bad if it does not just stay within the traditional tickle role of m/f or f/m tickling when it comes to tickle sessions.

I have noticed this as well, not trying to be negative and not trying to cause drama, and not trying to be argumentative with anyone-because that is not what I am doing and not what I am intending when I am answering in response to ticklebear 2's very interesting thread.

I don't really see nothing really wrong if a person's preference varies from traditional tickle role of m/f or f/m tickling-whether it be traditional route-m/f or f/m or m/ m tickling or f/ f tickling, or f f m/ or m m f tickling-to each their own.

Everyone is different and not everyone is going to share the same similiar sensual/sexual kinks or passions-not everyone is always going to share the same interests and hobbies in general-when it comes to the "vanilla" world and interests having nothing to do with being linked to the kink of either casual or platonic when comes down to personal preferences when it comes to tickling.

Or sensual/ sexual kinks when it comes to playful sensual erotic tickling in the bedroom or outside the bedroom in public or outside the traditional tickle/sex preferences, sexual positions or going against traditional locations one can choose or wishes to have tickleplay or sex at. It all boils down to personal preferences. Also boils down to what one's kinks and passions are. Those kinks and passions help make up one's unique special personality and make up truly who a person is.

I admire and commend you for starting this interesting and great thread. I think it is neat and took courage to create it so thanks for starting it ticklebear 2. Takes courage to stand up for what you feel and what you believe in-and I can see you have that in great amount.

I know also what you are saying-tickling yes can be sensual and erotic and it can be sexual-but sure I can say that for many -if there is no bond of friendship or no emotional connection established with a strong bond-and there also be no strong physical attraction to the person-then generally most times these tickle sessions no matter whom are engaged in the tickle sessions-lots of times stays casual and platonic-fun and yes it feels good and feels great-but not sexual and does not become erotic.

More a way to relax have fun and let off steam and stress.
When this is true, it is casual and platonic, feels great but does not turn sexual and does not turn erotic...just a fun time among friend, love to tickle each other. There is nothing wrong w that, yes those friends being tickled-very much could be arousing-just being tickled in itself, but not other person being arousing to them-however-that is when after the tickle session/sessions are over-that person usually finds their own way to vent out and let out sexual energy and outlet sexual frustration-many times by "taking care of themselves' and doing the touching-not having a partner help him or her let off steam or many times if he or she has a person or persons that he or she feels a special bond with-usually agreed both will wish to spend private alone time together-venture more into getting to know each other and tickle and spend special one on one time together-let off steam that way.

So you are right ticklebear 2 -many times tickling can be sensual and can be sexual but you are correct-tickling doesn't always have to be sexual. Look in the case of friends wishing to tickle each other and receive tickling-doesn't have anything to do with wishing to have sex with other person, or wanting other sexually-it is about getting pleasure and joy and laughter from being tickled. Once again thanks for this thread love it.

I personally don't like watching F/M (unless it would involve me, lol). I only like M/F and prefer F/F.

 

[ticklebear2]

Thank you everyone for being honest with you opinions. The reason why I created this thread was because I noticed that f/f tickling is generally accepted; while m/m tickling is considered to be gay. I am willing to be tickled by whomever as long as it gets me some tickle action. Just because you get tickled does not mean you have to have sex with a male. but that is my preference. I am mainly in it for the tickles.

Awwwwww...you mean I'll never get to tickle you? I'm on my way to your state in just a few days, by the way, going first to Boston and then to Lenox, the latter for a convention of my other fruity subculture.

I'm straight, but I'll tickle a guy.

Guess I'm a bit fruity. Then again, what does "normal" mean in these parts, besides nothing?

 

[ticklebear2]

Workinprogress,

I would tickle you if you wanted me to.

Since tickling is considered a fetish there is a sexual component to most patrons. The reason why F/F is more accepted than M/M is the same reason why lesbian porn is mainstream and gay porn (male on male) is a niche market. Most people aren't comfortable with seeing men touch each other outside of violent athletic competition. Whereas women can stroke, fondle and caress each other all they want.

Me personally...hell to the naw I don't like it! My fav areas to tickle are feet, inner thighs and hips. Thighs and hips are too close to the junk for me. And men's feet are ugly. The only reason why I would touch a man's foot is to submit him via a heel hook. I just can't get down like that. M/M is definitely out.

My, my, my...

...But this comment is so 7th century.

 

[Mislaffsalot]

I like M/M tickling. In fact, it's a pretty big turn-on for me. I haven't quite figured out why that is exactly, but I don't care. I just know that I enjoy seeing it, and I wish there was more of it out there. 🙁

 

[maniactickler]

...But this comment is so 7th century.

I guess im just old school. i think F/F is more accepted because being tickled is seen as a weakness. and who cares about women being seen as weak, but i think a man being seen as weak is not the traditional role.

If that works for you go for it.I'm not going to cast stones at ya.😉

I disagree that 'most' people take this opinion of gendered interaction. In my experience, gender roles and the stigma attached to variance from those roles is dramatically different, depending on culture, social circles, age, etc.

I can understand (I think) your point, as I grew up in a place where homophobia was commonplace and overt. It was depressing, to say the least.

Frankly, I think the higher level of acceptance for images of women pleasing one another sexually is to do with a more long-standing tradition of men being the target audience of porn.

The sexiest men I've known are the ones who express themselves without taking themselves too seriously, with friends and lovers of both genders.

There is obviously no empirical data detailing people's attitudes toward this subject, so like you I must rely on anecdotes. From my experience, most people men and women, from all backgrounds have expressed some discomfort at the sight of prolonged bouts of males touching each other especially of the homo-erotic variety. With that being said, the free market ultimately decides what is produced in porn and tickling fetish. Since gay porn and m/m tickling have such a small share of the market, it's a reasonable deduction that most patrons find such material unpleasant. People may try to be PC and say "it's not my thing" but the truth is they don't like it, because it makes them feel awkward.

Me too!!! I'm female so I can't participate, but I love the thought of M/M, especially if the guys are straight.

[Imaphillytickle]

M/M is just tops

I'm a M/M tickler, and I'm a bit surprised that 1st of all, how few of us there are, 2nd the bit of insensitivity toward 'my kind' there are as read in some previous posts (most of it indirect).

Just look at it, if you can, on the other side of the coin. For the so few of us there are, I suppose I speak for myself. As repulsive the thought of M/M tickling is for the naysayers, it is similar for me tickling a woman. (no offense 2 my girl supporters btw.)

Well, I agree that there's not much m/m tickling stuff around (not that I've seen, anyway), but there seems to be lots of mainstream boy-on-boy porn.

How do you know that it makes people feel awkward?

I disagree with you on the fact that both sexes have shown awkwardness for the male touching male. Everytime I have come accrossed this problem it has been with males not feeling comfortable, and yes I have plenty of female lees to, but to me tickling can be just tickling. For me tickling releases endorphins which help you feel relaxed and doesn't always bring on a feeling of I want to jump your bones. For tickling is just an action of stress relief and I don't distinguish between how I get tickled.

i could say if it was tickling by a guy or not at all i could have a guy maybe. I like women a lot more then men. i'm not a homo phobe just most guys i have seen before on sites before tmf into tickling want you naked or near naked. i could be wrong but they seem like it is totally sexual for them. IT is not sexual for me unless it is with someone special later hugggggs and happy tickles..... ugly kid joe
