RE: Celebrity Twitter Tickling Questions

I'm torn with these celebrity responses: part of me is like "Oh hey, cool. An attractive female celebrity is ticklish." At the same time, I fear that the incessant questioning of a few of us is only going to further perpetuate a "creepy" vibe in regard to tickle enthusiasts, since influential women seem to be the main target of the inquiries.

What are your thoughts on the matter?
 
While I enjoy the female celebrity responses, I see two problems: .

One, I agree with you about the idea of it being "creepy". Asking someone if they are ticklish.. is.. in reality.. a personal question. Most of us (At least I know I dont) don't do so often, or ever.. when we are off the TMF, or maybe asking a girl if her feet are ticklish, on a foot fetish site, as I occasionally have.. .. because.. unless the person being questioned is into tickling.. a close personal friend of ours.. or our significant other.. most other people you ask if they are ticklish.. would probably give one of two answers. Either: "That's too personal, and I dont feel like answering it". Or.. "Why the heck are you asking that? It's none of your business".

Two.. are ticklephiles.. in reality.. not "exploiting" the celebrities by asking them? The majority of the forum members know that we are turned on by tickling.. so.. if someone on this forum asks us if we are ticklish.. or we ask someone on this forum if they are ticklish.. both the person asking the question, and the one answering the question.. would know the reason why the question is being asked. Forum members enjoy discussion of tickling, and many of us get turned on by discussing tickling, and by hearing that another member of whichever sex preference we choose.. whether we are gay, bi.. or straight.. is ticklish. The celebrities don't know why we are asking.. so.. in reality.. are we not, in fact.. baiting them.. by making the question sound innocent. Yet, in fact.. it is not innocent.. because.. their answer might well likely turn us on, and we might post it.. on our forum of 100,000 members, where thousands might well get turned on by it.

I hope I'm not overanalyzing this, but this is just how I see it. I will be interested to see other replies to this thread.

Yes, I do not recommend continually asking a celebrity about being ticklish. Constant asking of specific questions like that will definitely create a creepy vibe about that person and why they are so obsessed with tickling.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that, Mitch. Most people wouldn't consider ticklishness an especially private subject. Sure, if you make it obvious that the notion gets you hot and bothered or are otherwise creepy about it, yeah, they'll be put off, but that's just like anything else. Other than that, it's a relatively normal thing to discuss with casual friends or acquaintances in the right context.

I've never heard of anyone saying "that's too personal of a question," when asked if s/he was ticklish.
 
Okay, LD, I respect that you disagree with me. However, I can tell you of at least one occasion where attempting to discuss tickling didn't work for me.

A few years ago, I posted on here about how I got into a discussion about tickling with a girl who cut my hair. I had known her for several years, and somehow when I mentioned about the neck clippers tickling my neck.. one thing led to another.. and she mentioned about how her hot adult daughter.. who is now in her 20s, is so ticklish, that she cannot go for pedicures.. and will not let her husband touch her feet. With the door open for tickling discussion, I pushed a little further, and asked this hairstylist, a decent looking woman in her 40s, if she herself could go for pedicures, and was ticklish. Her reply was "Yes, I can get a pedicure, but if my husband intentionally tickled me, then I am ticklish".

Success there.

Fast forward to last year.... Again.. I posted about this in the past...

My current hair stylist... Kristie.. is an extremely hot girl.. who looks like the lovely Miss Mandy Moore.

I was getting my hair cut sometime ago.. and once again tried to open the door for tickling discussion by stating how the hair clippers were tickling my neck. (These two girls do not work at the same hair salon.. and while they may know each other from the hair styling business as a whole.. they have not seen each other for a long time, and there would be no reason for the first hairstylist I asked.. to bring up by clippers tickling discussion to Kristie). When I mentioned the hair clippers tickling me to Kristie.. she kind of cackled, and said something like "You're funny". I immediately dropped the subject, because I did not want to get myself into hot water.. by "pushing too far". Clearly, Kristie.. who is married... did not want to persue further discussion about tickling, so I felt it best to halt right there. She either felt it too personal.. or not appropriate to discuss with me.

Such is why I believe tickling discussion really depends upon who you are discussing it with. There is no hard and fast rule. Some people consider it a personal subject that they dont want discussed with anyone but family or close friends.. others.. are more open.

I could be wrong.. but my experiences just have shown me this can be true.

Mitch
 
Well I think we're actually agreeing, mostly. I just don't think the fact that some people don't like to discuss ticklishness with virtual strangers in a work-environment (for example, your haircut scenario) means that they consider it a private, personal matter for family and close friends. There's an in-between, and that's the normal, casual socializing of friends and acquaintances.

In the case of celebrities, I certainly wouldn't ask, but I'm sure they're so jaded and have heard far worse that it seems pretty harmless to them.
 
I see what you're saying about people not necessarially thinking tickling is a personal matter, but I'm not sure.

I also agree about not asking celebs. As to whether it seems harmless, I'm not sure about that either.

The last time I recall knowing if someone who wasn't a close personal friend was ticklish was in college, because, as you might imagine, close quarters.. so.. while not a LOT of tickling went on, I can think of two or three occasions where girls who were not close, personal, friends of mine, and maybe just members of a club or activity I was a part of.. got tickled by an acquaintance or friend. I can think of one girl in particular.. who was nothing more than an acquaintance... at best.. who I had a class or two with.. who was getting rib tickled.. in the dining hall, by some people I knew, and I was watching it, as she was laughing hysterically, and falling into people. Other than that, again, the only ticklishness I've known about were if I was in a relationship with someone,.. or if it was a close female friend.

Mitchell's articulated my position on this pretty well, but I just want to add that it's not the asking (or even actually tickling someone) that bothers me. It's all the creepy scheming and plotting that goes on prior to the event. Like, when TickleChgo posted that thread about the girl on the train a while back that turned into a big brouhaha. If he'd just tickled her and skipped off, I wouldn't have seen anything wrong with it... but, no. He hovered around sneaking photos and plotting the best way to "sneak" a tickle by faking dropping his briefcase and trying the door, or some such. That's what bugged me about it. And as far as Twitter and the like, you've got people collaborating on how best to ask "The Question", then running here to post the results. If you're really lucky, they'll figure out some way to organize a question-asking campaign to maximize their creeping potential.

It's just this big, overblown grand scheme where the "target" becomes a mere goal towards our gratification rather than a person. "How can I best get [x] out of [y] without them realizing I've got my dick in my hand the whole time?"
 
An amendment to my previous post.. because.. in it.. I was talking about real life tickling.

While it is true that the last time I tickled someone who wasn't a close personal, friend, or gf, was in college, I cant say that about ASKING a girl if they were ticklish, and again, I'm not talking about TMF, or the foot forum I belong to.

I've posted on here before about how I got into tickling, by correspondence with the straight male pen pal, who passed away shortly before I joined TMF. We both had female snail mail pen pals, that we used to get through things called "Friendship books", where girls would post their names. We would get these girls names, write them regular first letters, and then, after they replied, my friend Don would always say: "Okay, (Whatever girl) responded, time to ask her "Our Favorite Question"! So, of course.. we did. I got about 40-50 answers between the time I started writing to Don, and the time he passed away. I stayed friends with some of the girls for several years.. but.. looking back on it.. if I had a computer before 2002, and TMF or a foot forum had existed.. I probably just should have joined, and told him to as well. because I fell into the trap. The one time I waited a long time to ask someone about tickling, was this girl Melissa who I really liked, and did not want to offend. We started a phone friendship, and I thought we were going to meet, but it fell through. One day, after I knew her for a LONG time, I brought up the subject of tickling to her on the phone, by stating I had been tickled by my cousin, and asked if that had ever happened to her. Her reply was "Yes, I am very ticklish". She said it in such a way.. of almost like mock anger. I was very afraid I had offended her, and when I asked her if she was mad, she said "No, it was just a rather odd question to ask, before we met. If we started dating, and you tickled my feet, I would probably be okay with it".

More than likely, except again, on TMF or a foot forum, the only time I would bring up tickling to a girl.. is after I really got to know her, and we established a relationship. At that point, I would either just tickle her playfully, or tell her about my foot and tickle fetish, ask to play with her feet and tickle her, and see what she says.

I hope I'm not a bit off topic here. I was trying to illustrate a point. If this post is off topic, remove it, and my apologies.

I must agree that bombarding someone's email/twitter/facebook/etc flooded with questions about their degree of ticklishness is definitely creepy and I'm into tickling (duh). If you get no response after the first time, let it go. Not sure if many celebs still go on his show or if he still has it or not, but put in a request to Howard Stern to bring back the tickle chair. He's the only one I've seen be able to tie and tickle multiple women on a public stage and it not be viewed as creepy. Howard Stern = Tickler's Trojan Horse

If you ask a celeb a thousand times if they are ticklish, it is possible it could be brought up as being creepy if they mention it in an interview. They could be like, "I get some of the most unusual questions. This one person tweeted me like 500 times asking me how ticklish I am."
 
Asking them once is okay, but if you continually ask someone a personal question, that's creepy.
 
I'm not gonna lie, it is nice to get an answer once and a while, and I don't see much harm in asking the question ONCE. These people are going too far. They constantly spam celebrities over and over at every single minute it seems, if they don't get an answer they keep spamming them. Some celebs have gotten angry/and or creeped out. I even saw one person respond with "Fuck off!". There's also have been regular people(followers) outing these guys, one guy even linked back to this site.

Off-topic or no, that's something everyone needs to read. Twice. :trophy:
 
It's nice to have that information about them, but it really is creepy 🙂

For cryin' out loud!! Get off of your soapbox and give it a rest already. If you are so freakin' sensitive, what are you doing hanging out in a fetish website anyway?!?

Dude, I just went to that thread. You're friggin creepy as hell! Tickling random people's feet out car windows at rallies, and on trains. You are a friggin pervert and should be locked up!

Now who's being sensitive? If I wanted to be a dick about it I would have dogpiled you in your thread same as everyone else who took issue with your behavior. I just offered it up as an example of behavior that I, personally, don't approve of. If you have a problem with the fact that not everyone is okay with you doing what you do, maybe you shouldn't be posting your exploits on the Internet for everyone and their brother to comment on.

But while I'm on my "soapbox", I think it's pretty telling that we've turned some yahoo who goes around touching strangers into a goddamn folk hero. "Pulling an Andy". Sheesh.

PS - I'm not interested in turning this into a flame war. Replies will be cheerfully ignored.
 
It's creepy
It's dishonest
It's lying
It's misleading
It's deceitful

Concocting some B.S. story about needing the answer for a uni dissertation etc. and bombarding unsuspecting women? No wonder so many people view this fetish as creepy.
 
As far as asking celebs if they are ticklish, so be it as long as you are not asking them over and over. With the advent of this thing called 'the internet' we only need them to answer it once and it will be on here forever through whatever outlet posts it and subsequently shares it with all other outlets.

Asking a complete stanger or even someone who you barely know is totally different. I couldn't even get the words out to ask without blushing probably lol.
 
It seems to me that even asking once is kinda borderline. Try putting yourselves in the shoes of the celeb who's being asked such a question. Why would someone ask for that very specific, obscure piece of information? The reason is quite obvious to us, but what would go through the mind of a vanilla person? Isn't it possible that it's just a tad too weird a question for it to seem 100% innocent? How would someone react if she at least suspected that it's some kind of fetish thing? God knows how well fetishes are tolerated by the general population...

I guess it kind of depends on how the question is asked, and some celebs might not mind at all. But even then, I don't think it's that good an idea. Like other people have already said, it's kinda creepy and dishonest to ask such a question for what comes down to sexual gratification.

Besides, even if someone does ask only once, who's to say that the celeb hasn't already been asked the same question many times by other ticklephiles? I can see how that could get creepy very quickly.
 
One point I want to make in this thread.

While I was corresponding with my friend Don, he sent me a letter one day saying that he had asked his female insurance agent if she was ticklish. He claimed that one day he was just conversing with her about insurance, and then somehow brought up the subject of tickling.. to which she said something like "Yes, I'm very ticklish".

At the time Don told me about that experience, before I got the internet, I remember thinking of that as extremely "bold". I would never have the courage to ask my insurance agent about tickling, unless she was a VERY close friend. When I told my real life friends what Don did, they were flabbergasted! For those skeptics who might say "He was probably lying". I knew him for five years, and I never knew him to be a liar. In fact, he told me about situations with co workers, where he didn't tickle them.. or ask them tickling questions.. because he was afraid it would get him into trouble. I believe he probably did ask his insurance agent the tickling question.

Once again, as with anything, it depends on the situation.. but that situation with Don and his insurance agent was what I would call "unique:" to put it mildly.

I've been following this debate with great interest, and I think everything that I would say has been said - that whilst ingenious, it's morally dubious, perhaps even wrong, to create a ruse to trick normal people into submitting information that we find sexually gratifying. I wouldn't have a problem with it if people had just flat out asked, as people have said celebrities (particularly females) get asked such questions all the time, and are often asked questions which are usually weirder and more sinister to boot. I think the key lies in the method of asking. I have seen people on here query celebrities in online chats etc in a polite, respectful, no-bullshit manner, freely admitting that the reason that they are asking is because of their fetish, and whilst sometimes it can make the celeb uncomfortable, usually they get a straightforward response.

To the dude who has been 'accidentally' tickling people in real life - I hadn't heard about that, and I'm not usually one for climbing on my high horse, but how can you be such a self indulgent ass??? It is people like you who make it difficult for people to admit that they have fetishes (of any kind), because they are worried people will think they are like you. You are no better than the creeps who crawl about under tables to smell women's feet, you give the rest of us a bad name, and I'm going to stop now otherwise I'll break the forum's rules of conduct. You ******* child. Now I'll stop.

Mitch - I think you'll find tickling is such an obscure fetish that people won't cotton on to your intentions if you ask that. It's not as obvious as a foot fetishist asking someone's shoe size, for example. You sound like one cautious dude, and I concur with the other guy, I've never heard someone say anything about it being too personal. I have a girlfriend who knows about my fetish so I find it a bit unfaithful to ask chicks now, but back in the day I found it easier to do what you did with the hair clippers and slip it into a conversation. If you get an uneasy answer once, it doesn't mean you will every time!

Peas 😀
 
fromptown, you make some interesting points. In reply to what you said.

First, yes, I am "cautious". I dont want to get into hot water, for asking the wrong person about tickling, or their feet.

I understand what you said about it being "morally dubious" to trick "normal people" into submitting information that tickle or foot fetishists find sexually gratifying. Just so you know, for the record, since I joined this site, and the foot site I belong to.. I haven't done that. If I want to ask a girl about her feet, or tickling.. I pm her, introduce myself, politely ask if I can ask questions, and then, if she says yes, directly ask.

Additionally, I havent ever tickled a stranger. Oh, as any guy has, I've tickled female friends playfully with whom I haven't been sexually involved with.. but.. beyond that.. no.

As for the thing with the hairdresser scenario: The first time.. the hairdresser I asked.. was a BBW, and NOT my type. Plus., she was married. The clippers she was using really were tickling me.. so.. that convo started by accident.

The second time.. I will admit.. I was trying to illicit the tickling convo, because, I find my current hairstylist to be extremely beautiful. However, when she gave me the "You're funny " reply to my telling her the clippers tickled, I immediately dropped it, havent asked her since, and wont be asking her. As I've stated before, she's married, and it isn't an appropriate conversation for me to have with her.

Hopefully, the fact that I'm asking foot and tickling questions, at foot and tickling websites, makes me more.. "moral". The questions are direct, and there is no agenda, and, to be honest, girls who are members of these types of websites, should probably expect to be asked those types of questions.
