My goodness, the things I find while stumbling around the 'net!
I stumbled into this forum the other day and was completely dumbfounded. I never knew it existed. At the same time, it was like a door opening into understanding something that happened long ago
When I was a child back in the '50s, one of the radio programs we used to listen to was Art Linkletter's "People Are Funny." One program had a hypnotist who gave post-hypnotic suggestions to several people from the audience, and then the people were awakened and the suggestions were triggered. One woman was told that at the speaking of a certain word she would begin laughing uncontrollable.
Well, that's just what she did--she started laughing and couldn't stop. And I found myself becoming incredibly aroused (and this was before I was old enough to know what arousal was). She wasn't being tickled, but she was being made to laugh in a way that she couldn't control. And that was sooo cool.
My father tickled my brother and me, but not to excess, just normal father-son tickling. I used to tickle my younger brother, and then my own two sons while they were little. Again, just usual father-son rough-housing. Now my grand-daughter enjoys being tickled, but she's soon approaching the age where it will be inappropriate for an adult male relative to tickle her.
My wife, on the other hand, has always thought that tickling is completely anti-erotic, and I have acceded to her tastes on the matter. (Actually, these days she finds everything completely anti-erotic, but that's a subject for another forum.)
For me, tickling would be part of foreplay in straight m/f, in which the female partner would be tickled, aroused, and then brought to satisfaction, after which the male partner could take his release. If my wife suddenly found she liked something like that, I would think I had died and gone to heaven.
Oh, and here's an interesting coincidence. There was a word I used to make my brother say in order for me to stop tickling him. That word, as far as I knew at the time, was the name of a southwestern Native American tribe. that word was Yaqi.
