Me and my boyfriend have been dating for over three years. We have a really great realtionship except that he like tickling and i, usually speaking, do not. I do not judge him in anyway and I try to understand why he feels this way and I participate when he wants it. Sometimes it is even enjoyable for me to. I guess my question is do you have any advice to maybe help me enjoy it more or could you explain why ya'll enjoy this kind of fetish?? Also what are the little things I could do to indulge him when we don't have the time or whatever for full out sex play? Thanks guys this would help alot since we are headed toward marriage and I want to make him happy! :smilelove
 
Hi and welcome!
What I'm curious about is why YOU don't like it, but I applaud your willingness to please your boyfriend...Intimacy issues, bad experience in the past, what?
More info please, it helps us have a better jumping off point.

XOXO
 
I can relate in a way. My boyfriend told me he had this fetish and of course I'm totally cool with it! Anyway I tried it out and I ended up likeing it. It's fun and actually is a turn on.

Does he like tickling you or does he like it when you tickle him or both? because then I could give you some advice.
 
Wow, Speckles... Let me just say it's great that in the interests of pleasing your boyfriend, you're willing to come here, register and ask questions. Every person should hope for a mate so considerate! :bowing:

There are many aspects of tickling that appeal to people -- the pleasure it gives to those who enjoy it, the dominance/control/power-exchange factor that is a feature of several varieties of intimate play, being turned on by laughter and excitement, the desire to "torture" someone (or be "tortured") with no pain, and that certain ineffable quality that's hard to pin down when someone just really likes something ("Aside from it being sweet, why does chocolate taste so good?")... Not everything has an easy answer.

When there's no time for sex-play, allowing little tickles may be cool, provided he can recognize the boundaries and time constraints just like you... Because sometimes, little tickles lead to big tickles, one thing leads to another, and... ...fun ensues of its own accord. 😀 Letting him tickle your armpits and ribs for a bit is usually good, unless his preference is different -- like feet. I'm a hips guy, myself... Tickling and kissing is a great combination, and while it gets both your motors revving, you can treat the acts of tickling and kissing as complete acts and arts in themselves, or as teases, leading him to look forward to "full-contact" play when you have more time.

However, ultimately, you hopefully will find a way to enjoy it more often, too... It'll make all these arrangements easier. What is the difference between the times you enjoy it and the times you don't? His technique? The context? Try to pin it down to why sometimes you do like it, and see if you can do these things more often...

Offer more details, and we may be able to help you more...

'Til then, all the best!
 
My advice is, start enjoying tickling fast or youll be heading for divorce in no time. 😱

uhh that was kinda rude

Capnmad kinda nailed it, but wow thats great that you took the time to register here to ask questions, thats great of you.
 
ok let me try to answer questions... First of all normally when i really don't like it it is becuase I have "submitted". I'm usually totally not horny for anykind of sex and so it makes it impossible for me to get into it. When i like it it is the oppoisite I am horny and it makes it much more exciting..which is why i have hope that one day i could like it more. He also likes it both ways, me tickle him and him tickle me. For me when i am not in the mood i would rather do the tickling b/c generally i just get frustrated if I'm not in the mood and he is tickling me. I'm amazing that ya'll like that feeling of torture...It just drives me insane when I'm not in the right mood, maybe i'm just a control freak so that is also why i like doing it to him better. Does this help? I think I answered all the questions and thank you already because you guys have been so nice!!
 
hypnotism?

Maybe you should try getting hypnotized, since you have a desire to enjoy it more. A nice post hypnotic suggestion could be just the trick. Maybe you both could sit in on each others sessions and use a certain word that when spoken by your lover; results in you having a overwhelming desire to be tickled and have your ticklishness increased.

Thanks for answering the questions... Hopefully we can help more as a result... There's different ways to submit, and so, I'm not sure exactly how you mean "submitted" in quotes, but allow me to speculate a bit and maybe go out on a limb...

Might it be that in his drive and zealousness to tickle you he sometimes does so out of the blue? Noting that you're "usually totally not horny", the tickling is more of an annoyance and I'm sure when you're not in the mood it gets overwhelming -- hence your negative feeling of having "submitted"... Am I on the right track?

Now, when you're in the mood for sex, you're more open for more kinds of physical stimulation, and can find tickling enjoyable...

If I'm right about the above, my assessment from what I understand of your situation is likely that this is more of a typical man/woman issue than a tickling fetishist/non-fetishist issue. Guys can be in the mood for sex lickety-split, whereas many women take longer to "warm up"... This may be part of the issue -- he's in the mood, and tickling, being his fetish, is part of his sexual repertoire that always comes out, or does so frequently... Not taking into account your need to warm up for play (or possibly, even getting a bit of a kick out of your being more resistant -- sorry, the boy's only a fallible human, and that can be part of the turn-on for some as well -- I don't know him), he jumps into his sexual repertoire, and it annoys the crap out of you. It's a common sex issue -- he wants it more often, she wants it less...

Perhaps, you could teach him a bit about how to best seduce you... How to take the time and have the patience to gradually turn you on, rather than suddenly going full blast into what for him, is foreplay... Teach him the foreplay techniques that delight you, and get you in the mood to the point whereafter his acting on his tickling fetish would be more welcome.

Now, what follows is only theory, but it seems reasonable enough to me... As he continues to use what he knows to turn you on before engaging in tickling, the frequency with which you'll be able to process it as a pleasurable and welcome sensation will increase. Continued association of tickling with pleasure over time may enable your mind to be conditioned to view it as pleasurable itself, such that less and less of your currrently accustomed style of foreplay is required for you to see tickling as a turn-on (this is not to invalidate what turns you on at all, and you'll never lose those other things that turn you on innately), and in time, with enough pairing of tickling with sexually pleasurable stimuli (slowly, patiently and when you're in the mood), tickling itself may turn you on, acting as a mental cue for: "Hey! You know what comes after this!" (Hopefully, you! 😉 )

The bottom line? (And correct me if you think I'm wrong here, ladies of the forum...) Like most things in a relationship, you can't just fix this on your own. You can't just start liking it more, however much your willingness demonstrates you'd like to. He has to be involved and working to bridge the gap of tickling and pleasure with you, and he's going to have to be deliberate and patient in doing so, because it's not just a once and done thing.

This is a strict behaviorist approach presented, and there may be other factors at play that need to be addressed... Steph mentioned the possibility of a bad past experience, intimacy issues, and whatnot... There is often a mental component to these things, also, so don't neglect that... If something comes to mind that would actually prohibit you mentally from enjoying tickling, it may be useful to attend to it. But seeing as how you seem able to enjoy it under certain conditions, I don't think you have a serious obstacle, but something that could be worked on bit by bit, even if you are a control freak... Over time, you can learn that giving up control (even with tickling) to someone you trust can be very liberating and enjoyable.

Also, don't be afraid to tickle him back... Maybe get some tips from 'lers around here to tickle him into submission instead? 😀 In any event, mutual tickling is great cardio, gets the blood pumping, and again, can get you more physically stimulated, and paired with the _right_ stimulation, can get you in the mood, leading you in the same direction again...

A large part of this is speculation from what I interpreted from your response, and at the moment, I'm massively sleep-deprived... So, if I'm way off base, tell me how, and I'll try again after I've gotten some rest.
 
I think it sounds like a control issue for you then, as Capt alluded to. It's a different kind of headspace--we've a lot of people here who feel like that.

How to solve it exactly, I'm not sure since I'm mostly lee and I love the "torture" as you call it. 😀
But, I'm sure your willingness to work on it will be a big help to you both. And remember--practice makes perfect! 😉
XOXO
 
Thanks! What are some things I can do....(as a lee or ler)....to make it more enjoyable?
 
Well, it's subjective really, as different people like different things. I like toys, bondage and a soft touch. Other people like things a little more hardcore--they prefer the squeezing type of tickling or mixing some spanking, it all depends on you really.

But I'd say talk a lot first. Especially being new to the scene, you'll want to establish safewords. Have lots of water handy and PAY attention to each other's responses (the good and the bad, so no one gets hurt)

I'll probably come up with more later, but just have fun experimenting with it--it's the only way you'll know what works!
XOXO

Hi, Speckles.... *he bows*

Yes, my good people...I know. I've never posted, what though I've been lurking here for years and many of you know me. But on this one, I HAVE to come out of the woodwork.

I, too, have to admire your willingness to go as far as you have to please your 'ler...It's fantastic, and with more 'lees like you, there would, I daresay, be FAR less frustrated 'lers in the world. I should know. For a long time, I was one of them. Not anymore. So here's my suggestion, for what it's worth.

I'm a hopeless romantic, and for me, the key is ROMANCE. Tickling, (while it makes a superb ulterior motive), to be most effective, should be wrapped in romance. Luckily, my own 'lee and love adores it. So cultivate an atmosphere of romance. Personally, I prefer a Shakespeare movie, a nice long shower, a good bottle of wine, some cheeses and other edibles, and a massage (with her on the receiving end, that is). Wear something he likes, and one of his favorite scents. Allow him to ply you and coax you into the mood with a great glass of wine...relax. Loosen up. Put a Mozart opera on the stereo, or some good Baroque. Heck, light a few scented candles. My own 'lee likes the fact that I smoke a pipe of Ramsgate to scent the air before the fun. 🙂 Suggest that he feed you, or feed each other. Spend some time really getting comfortable in each other's "space." One of the Kama Sutra's great keys is deliberate, directed touch. Use it. You have already stated that feet aren't your area, but if they were, I'd suggest making them attractive. The French pedicure is a biggie for me--but you get the idea. Put your hair up in Chinese lacquered sticks, if you can, and make him take it down....My point, I suppose, after the ramble, is to suggest that he try things that get you "in the mood" ANYWAY...so that when the tickling occurrs, it's a NATURAL turn-on, by association. Look at it rather as Pavlov did, you lucky dog.... (pun intended.... 🙂 ) If you're turned on already BEFORE he tickles you, then maybe with a bit of luck, after a while, the association will trigger tickling to be more pleasurable. Explore. If it works, mentally note it and use it. If it doesn't, scrap it. Pretty soon, you'll have a little repetoire to use anytime, anywhere...well, ALMOST anywhere.... 🙂

At any rate, I hope this is helpful. Blessings to you and yours, and I wish you joy (and laughter) in future. Happy tickles!

Wowie! When you say "lose the posting virginity" you mean it big time, Galahad! =^_^= Hehe! My posts are all quite short.

Hey Specks!
How ya doin'? Don't stress out too much, just relax. Have fun. Do what comes natural. Try new things and if they don't work then.. O well. Try, try again. Different strokes for different folks, whatever turns you on.

I really don't know why I have this fetish. But I think it's great that you're open enough to try it. ^______________^ I like this fetish because I love being touched. Not only that but I do have a submissive personality (for the most part). Some people with submissive personalities like to get spanked or whipped or whatever. If anyone else likes that, that's great! Have fun! Eeh... it's not me. *shrug* Dunno why, really.

I know I'm no help. O well! I got to talk! Yay! And my post is kinda long! Yay!

Big Smiles!
Lexie

P.S.- Pipes are sexy. ^_~

Hey Specks! :bunny:
If it hadn't been said by so many others i'd send kudos to you for checking it out. It's way cool that you're exploring this issue. I can only imagine the caring curiosity that sent you plunging into tickle-territory on the net to sleuth out some support.
I really have to agree with much of what everyone's said. And i'm happy to see so many show you the respect you richly deserve.
But since you have asked about ideas,,, (and Steph is right btw - it's always totally personal) let's see if i can float some things that have proven fun for me which you can play with.
Me i'm a near total 'lee and in a way i was in the same boat with my b/f as he is with you but he came to enjoy it by seeing how much fun it was for me and how it really drove me crazy. 😛
Since i hear you say that you sometimes like it and sometimes would rather do the tickling 'cuz it puts you in charge let me suggest this game.

One day while we were fooling around together i ended up straddling him but in the giggly wrestling that ensued we ended up stalemated. with me in the superior position he needed both hands to defend against my playful pokes but being much stronger i could never get through his defences....
In the end he managed to grab a bathrobe tie which, with only token resistance on my part i confess 😛 he used to secure my wrists behind my back.

Anyway, long and short, i was now helplessly open to his tickles over pretty much all of my body -delicious- but the interesting part was i was still on top of him and for the most part very able to squirm. It made for a lot of tickle fun in a way that put us both in postures of control - if that makes sense.
It helped too that his tickle attacks while continuous were in short bursts of maybe 5-15 seconds at a go.

Well, as others have said, i wish you luck Specks!! And happy tickles :xpulcy: :xpulcy:

Many blessings,
Chickles :redheart:
 
Hi Speckles,

I'm Mitch. Welcome to the forum. I checked out this thread late.
I would try alternating the tickling. For example, try to set a time limit, five minutes at first, or whatever, and vary the tickling, with you as the lee, and then him as the lee. Also, you can explore different body areas, and see what feels good, and what doesnt. Maybe concentrate more on some body areas, and less on others. You might also try having the tickling sometimes as foreplay, and other times as afterplay. There are many variations and things you can try.
I hope this advice helped. Good Luck.

Mitch
 
Hey Specks 🙂
From a lee's point of view, tickling HIM during those inopportune times, or when you dont want to be tickled would be great. Even little tickles that take no time at all, when you're at the store, out to dinner, at a movie, poke him or pinch his side, do something sneaky to make him giggle. Those little surprise tickles are LOADS of fun for us lees 🙂 You can do it anytime anywhere, especially in public, for me, makes it more exciting because while to someone else it may look like an innocent little tickle, we know what it really means to US....aaaaaand I have a little exhibitionist inside me LOL So to make a long story short, little surprise tickles at a time when it would be impossible for them to lead to anything (store, movies, restaurant) are nice because it gives him a little treat, and you know you don't have to worry about starting something you're not in the mood to finish 🙂

Hiya! :bunny:

actually Skippy is right!
I love it when my b/f pulls little moves like that! :blaugh:

It's like it brings us closer and is fun in public - the one thing i'd advise is that it works best now that he knows more about my weakspots.. i.e. he knows where he can poke and tickle in souch a way that i'll giggle and not explode hysterically! :wowzer: I'm not quite as much of an exib as Skippy might be implying he is... 😱😱 (maybe you're less than i read, skippy, if so sorry 'bout that. 😉 )

Many blessings, Specks and truly happy tickles! 😛oke3:

Chickles:redheart:
 
i say easily just learn his chemistry and see when he likes it and when he doesn't. kinda test different situation and if he likes it a certain point, just keep it in the back of your head and don't abuse it too much.

it's just one of those hard things to really think about unless we knew the guy.

Hiya again,,, :bunny:
Yeah, for sure!
-But, and i'm sure everyone agrees, remember that the relationship is about YOU too. 🙂

And now if not already! :xpeepsofa: It's time for me to keep quiet! *nodsnods*

Many blessings,
