New partners and tickling

[Madame_T]

As someone who's considering dating again, I'm naturally looking for success stories (or embarrassing whichever yall feel comfortable sharing) when it comes to introducing a new partner to tickling. My favorite of mine was when I happened to tickle my ex a lot and was asked about it..kind of hard to hide it then!

A lot of people are more into kink then ever before. Though tickling in specific still polarises some. I introduced my ex into bondage first then slowly incorporated tickling. She was quite a masochistic Lee by the end. 🪶 🔥

Well, my wife is from the tickling community, so on that dimension (and all others) there was no real friction, which was different than most of my past experiences. I think it has been, and still is, true that each person is just going to react very differently. Some people will look at you like you've got three heads (no offense to anyone who is into three-headed people), and others will act almost like it's normal. Obviously if you found someone from the community, that would make the tickling component much easier, but then you have to line up on other dimensions of compatibility. As @torturoustickle said, the acceptance of kink is greater than it has ever been. I think within that world your chances of compatibility are going to be higher than the broader dating scene.

I'm not sure how true this really is, but at least one thing my wife and I feel we've observed is that women tend to be more accepted for having a tickling kink than men who have one. Maybe this is just some kind of bias for how each communicate their experiences or something, but I feel being a woman increases one's chances of success in that area.

Good luck to you! 🙂

I’ve had good and bad luck in said situations in the past. The important thing is to be honest and see where it goes from there.

All girls that I have told about my fetish smile and are intrigued.

Nice to hear. Thus far, all of my introductions have been either well received or understood with no awkwardness, harsh judgement or freak outs… Thus far, lol!

Online dating is awful for the most part. Id say to focus on the connection first. If someone really does like you, a tickle kink won't bother them.

My gf is an example. I waited like, a year to tell her about tickling. I warmed her up in the begining with a foot fetish comment. She was cool with that. As time went on, I introduced tickling, which she has said she doesnt like. BUT, she doesn't hate it specifically and gladly indulges me , will even bring it up, "how about some tickle time before bed?"

I wrote a story on how I brought up tickling first in a new relationship. I think most people consider "tickling" a relatively fun and harmless activity as sexual kinks go and gladly entertain their partner, especially if it's not a one-way-street. So don't be shy and explore your sexuality together!
