Men or women? whos really more into tickling?

[maniactickler]

Im referring mostly to online i suppose. it seems like men are willing to tickle women at the drop of the hat, while its like pulling teeth to get women interested in being tickled. i understand the whole safety thing and creepy guy thing to, but even still, i find women more or less not willing to even give guys a fighting chance. i just assume they cant be into as much, or they have MUCH better control than men. any thoughts?

If you're talking about online, then it's not a matter of more or less into it... it's just a matter of population. There's just more men on fetish forums.

I understand that, but women can weed out the bad ones and get to know the ones they might be interested in.

I'm not sure if the answer is gender specific or not.

Gender-specific or not gender specific! That is the question!

But if I had to pick, based on experience, I would have to say females. More females have tried to tickle me than males. They've also been better at tickling me, too. Females I didn't even know - total strangers - could barely touch me and bring me to my knees in miliseconds.

Maybe that's what they're doing. They have the luxury of taking their time, testing people out, because they know there's an endless supply of dudes. That's probably why it feels like pulling teeth to you.

Men. Definitely men. Unfortunately.

In terms of the fetish it seems like men. However, in terms of tickling in a playful manner I'd say girls love it. I've never met a girl that didn't like a tickle fight.

I have to go with guys. The concept that there are "a lot" of guys, gives the ladies the discretion to "pick" & "choose".

As you commented , guys are more willing to tickle at the drop of a hat. I think is a bit more "involved" for the ladies, i.e., establishing a bit of friendship 1st.

Agreed. As a guy, I'd love for a girl I've never met to walk by me and randomly poke my sides. Girls on the other hand do not usually feel that same way. However, when girl likes you she is often very likely to give some unexpected tickles when she wants to flirt with you.

I think it follows the same pattern as any other kind of sensual touching or flirting does.

I almost think tickling is like sex for women. they need some kind of emotional connection with the person, whereas guys will almost tickle anyone they can.

or, in other words...

These responses make me smile. 🙂

Honey, that's exactly what we are doing and that's the reason why you don't get to tickle anybody!!

Now, let's be serious!

There are

a) a lot more lers than lees
b) a lot more guys on fetish forums than girls

If you are female and a lee, it doesn't take much to get someone you find attractive to tickle you if the person likes you too. You do not necessarily have to find someone on a tickling forum! That's the whole secret! 🙂

So thats why no women want me to tickle them. looks like i might have to go to plan B then.......chloroform!

I know plenty of girls on the TMF who have reached out and found male lers, whether they be just play partners or something more. So if we're talking anecdotes, I'm not sure either gender is more "into" it. Speaking from personal experience, I did exactly as maniac says - I weeded out plenty of people I deemed unsuitable play partners and eventually found my current boyfriend. And since there were so many potential play partners, I could be a little picky. And now that I have my boyfriend, I'm no longer interested in finding play partners. I just look for friends, and they are usually people I meet at gatherings first.

Just because fewer guys here have found play partners doesn't mean they're more "into" it. It's just a numbers game.
