Sex class survey: Please give it a look.

[merkaba]

I figure the best way to do this will be to post a small list of questions here. Try, for my sake, to keep your answers short and to the point. I'm going to use this data for statisitcal references in my paper. I hate turning people into numbers, but this will give me a general sense about how different people feel about tickling in the community as a whole. So, without further digression on my part, please look at the following questions and answer them in order please. This means allot to me.🙂

1.What is your sex?

2.What is your age?

3.Do you consider your fascination with tickling to be sexual, sensual, or mearly playfull?

4.Do you prefer being the tickler or the ticklee more?

5.What is your favorite part of the body to tickle?(just one please)

6.Do you have a preference for tickling males or females? If yes, which?

7.Do you involve bondage in your tickling practices?

8.Do you see tickling having potential to be punishing or dominating?

9.Do you become aroused watching your prefered type of tickling happen?

10.Can you get yourself to orgasm while watching your prefered type of tickling happen?

11.Do you prefer tickling imagery to any other form or erotic imagery?

11.Have you ever had an orgasm(or come close to one) from being tickled?(for ticklees)

12.Do you like female and/or male feet?

13.Would you say that you have a foot fetish?

14.Do you have any idea where your tickling fascination came from? If so, please describe?

15.At roughly what age did you become fascinated with tickling?

16.Were you introduced to tickling, or did you develop an innate interest in it?

17.Have you ever experienced guilt or shame about your tickling fascination?

18.How many people that you know personaly(not online) have you told about your fascination?

19.Would you describe yourself as open or shy about your tickling interest?

20(final question).What does tickling mean to you? I'm being deliberately vague here. I want you to really analyze your interest in tickling, and tell me why you are fascinate with it.

Alright, here goes:

1)Female

2)20 yrs old

3)It can be all 3 for myself (more so sexual)

4)I tend to be the ticklee more, however, recently I'm finding a growing interest in playing the role as the tickler.

5)Well, if I had to pick *just* one - sides/underarms.

6)Males

7)99% of the time, yes! I was a fan of bondage long before tickling.

8)Yes, it can be - especially when it is used within bondage/perhaps BDSM play. It can be administered to submit a person into hysteria, therefore the potential to be dominating is strong.

9)Naturally, yes

10)No, not orgasm, just arousal.

11)Not necessarily, I like tickling imagery and other forms of erotic interest imagery almost equally.

11)2 11's? 😉 and no, I have not. Tickling will elicit high arousal but no oragasm as of yet.

12)If ticklish, yes they'll serve a purpose to me.

13)No

14)I guess it stemmed from another method of being brought to my limits within bondage. I saw it as another form of sensual and v.stimulating "torture" as well as teasing.

15)Tickle fights were always occuring spontaneously since childhood. However, a sexual appeal developed only a few years ago.

16)developed an innate interest

17)No

18)Not many, I'm not one to go around shouting out my turn ons and fetishes. 😉 So, perhaps just partners - 2-3.

19)With the people I date - very open.

20)Tickling to me tends to be mindblowing foreplay between people. So, for me, it's a very intense stimulation that heightens my senses and arousal.

And there you have it..

Tamz..

 

[TicklingDuo]

Wow! I didn't know you'd have this up so quickly. Good luck on your study. Maybe it will open some eyes after you turn it in. Here are my answers...

1. F

2. 39

3. a combination, but mainly playful

4. ticklee

5. tummy

6. doesn't matter since it's usually not sexual

7. sometimes

8. It can. But, I don't use it that way.

9. occassionally

10. lol....never tried

11. yes

11. close, yes

12. not in any noticable way

13. no

14. not really...I've always enjoyed it

15. enjoyed it since 4 (earliest memory of it), fascinated since about 11

16. Combination...people introduced various levels of it to me, but I think it was an inate thing to start with

17. no

18. nearly all of my friends/frequent acquaintances know it's there, though only a handlfu know the degree of it

19. fairly open

20. Tickling is something I tend to match up with a friendship type of intimacy. So, to have someone share any tickling play is a sharing of the intimacy of that friendship. Though I don't mind some tickle play with those I don't know well, I enjoy it more with friends. I like verbal teasing and they tend to go hand-in-hand. When you're friends with a person, it's easier to find ammo. for that! 😉 As far as tickling as a sexual/sensual thing, I limit that to my play with my hubby. The same things that apply in playful tickling tend to apply here. It's a nice way to be intimate and close to one another.

There you go!

(21(final question).What does tickling mean to you? I'm being deliberately vague here. I want you to really analyze your interest in tickling, and tell me why you are fascinate with it.)
Tickling is the most powerful sexual stimulation method, IMO. Still, I can tickle girls without any desire to have sex with them. OTOH, I'll certainly try to tickle every sex partner. I love the laughter and the squirming during tickling. And most women have no idea of the thoroughly stimulating quality in tickling, so I just LOVE to 'convert' them!

Additionally, I took the liberty to re-number your last questions, because you used 11 twice… 😉

 

[Myriads]

4.Tickler

5. What ever part I find the best response at, so it varies from person to person. But If I had to pick one, feet.

6. Females

7. Yes

8. Yes

9.Yes

10.Yes

11.Yes, but only be a slim margin.

11.(the 2nd 11) Not applicable (Not a lee)

12. Not any more then any other body part

13. No

14. It arose as an early expression of my Dominate nature. I found it was a way to physically control others when I was young.

15. 7

16. Develop an innate interest in it.

17. Never

18. A few dozen

20. Tickling is a tool that allows me to enjoy my sexuality more fully.

Myriads

 

[merkaba]

Bah!😛 I didn't notcie the two 11's. Not surprised I made a goof like that though. Thank you to those who have responded thus far. Keep 'em coming guys. The more people respond to this, the better my information is going to be.🙂

~Merkaba

 

[desdemona]

Some interesting questions merk...will you post your results when you've compiled the data?

1. Female
2. 31
3. All 3 (sensual>sexual>playful)
4. More lee
5. No favorite
6. No
7. Yes
8. Yes dominating, No punishing
9. Somewhat
10. No
11. Yes
11. Yes
12. Not especially
13. No
14. No clue
15. < 10yr/pre-puberty
16. Innate
17. No guilt or shame, but embarassment yes
18. Zero - but I don't open up much to anyone
19. Shy
20. I'm about as uptight as you can get. Tickling is a stress release for me at times. It's a freedom of expression where loss of control is tolerable for a short period of time (when I'm otherwise a control freak). And the paradoxical quality of loving/loathing the action and the reaction heightens all the senses to combine for a satisfying/arousing adrenaline rush in the end.

 

[mysterytic]

My perculiarities

1. Male

2. 46

3. Sexual

4. Tickler

5. Feet or whatever is ticklish

6. Females only

7. Bondage, sure

8. Punishing or dominating only in fantasy, not in r/l

9. Arousal, sure

10. Get off on it, only if I am tickling her

11. Imagery not for me

11 #2 Yes under certain circumstances

12. Females' feet are from heaven

13. Foot fetish the size of the Milky Way Galaxy

14. Born with it, hardwired you would call it. Ever since I was about 5 yrs I have wanted to tickle womens' feet. The only thing that has changed with maturity is now I have added other parts of the wonderful female anatonomy to my tickle wants.
15. About 5 yrs old

16. Internal, no outside guidance

17. Yes in the past. Still hidden from non tickle people

18. Only G/F's and ex wife have known about it. I tell nobody else except the whole world who reads the TMF boards. 😀

19. Shy, you bet

20. Tickling is an expression of love, or at least showing interest in a person. I don't just tickle anybody without some desire to know her, except occassionally a past friend. We just goofed off with tickle fights. But if I tickle a woman, you can be assured I have some romantic interest in her, not to say it will always bloosom, some don't.:

Tickling to me is a form of relaxation sometimes coupled with the release of sexual tensions. it is a great way to become more intimate with someone or to just have fun. I am fascinated by the taking of and giving up control aspects without getting into pain.

Nice thread........

[ktickler]

A promise is a promise...

I said I was going to help, so here are my answers.

1. Male.

2. 30.

3. Mostly playful, but when I do it with my partner is definitely sexual and sensual.

4. Tickler. Although, I enjoy when someone tries to tickle me. I do not scare them away, and use that as an excuse to retaliate.

5. Feet.

6. Yes. Females.

7. No.

8. It has the potential to be punishing and/or dominating. However, I do not see it that way. I think the position of tickler is always dominating, but you do not have to enforce it that way. I believe in making sure the other person in having fun as well. If the ticklee is not having fun, then I am not either.

9. Yes, if I get the chance to get my mind fantasize about the tickling experience. If it just a playful encounter (say, with a family member or somebody else’s kids), then I do not.

10. Not without masturbation.

11. Not a fan of any kind of erotic imagery. I like tickling pictures and clips because they serve a very specific purpose of getting my mind working for a short period of time. However, I do not go back to old pictures or clips over and over again. I would rather prefer the real thing.

11. Never, but I have made ticklees had orgasms with tickling.

12. Female feet.

13. Most definitely.

14. Tough question. I have always had an interest in feet. My earliest memory is of me being 2 years old and playing with a secretary’s feet in the bank under her desk. The time tickling became a real obsession was when I was with my cousin and we were behaving badly. We got into my aunt’s room and she was lying barefoot on the bed reading the newspaper. Her feet were near the end of the bed and you could see her soles. My cousin came by and tickled her feet briefly. Them I came in and tried to do the same, but she was prepared for it and moved them away before I could do anything. I became obsessed with tickling her feet since them. The problem was that she was not my only desired victim. Pretty much, any female in my life had to be tickled. I have not stopped since them. I was seven years old.

15. As I mentioned before, roughly around the age of 7.

16. As I mentioned before, it was innate until it became an obsession.

17. Never guilty nor ashamed. I have been embarrassed several times, though.

18. I have never “told” anybody. I have tickled so many people so many times, that they “know” I like to tickle. It is more like a known behavior based on an unspoken language.

19. I am open about tickling. I am shy about discussing it. I do not feel very comfortable talking about the topic, but I am not shy about acting upon it. Of course, there are times when I am embarrassed from the reactions, but I have not slowed down when it comes to take advantage of situations.

20. Tickling is part of who I am. It is part of my personality and the way I behave. It is like saying that my preferred color is green or my preferred food is black beans and rice. Tickling is one of my preferred ways to interact with people. I like physical touch as part of my social interactions (I am a hugger). Hence, tickling fits nicely into my profile. I have to include tickling as a demonstration of affection and love. As such, it also becomes an integral part of my sexuality.

 

[tactillianlover]

Male

36

all of the above!

4. I've been tickled as much as I've tickled (not nearly enough!)
I always considered my self the tickler. That is when It comes to fantacy or aticipation. Ive rarely fantasized about being
the ticklee. So my desire has been to be the tickler. Normally
thats what I am.

On the other foot, I have not recieved a good sound tickling in a LONG time. I tickle others briefly on a regular basis . Having a woman tickle me now would be like sex after four years in jail.
nervous but ultimately wonderful. A serious healing in my book!
So , today I guess I'll go with lee!

5.FEET 6.female


7. only did it once but intend to...yes

8.For woman that are creeps or backstabbers definitly can see
the punishment.

Real domination, not play, In the right relationship,would
feel natural,primal.

9. YES! Different degrees at different times or situations.

10. If nobody knocks and the tracking's good!!
With hands behind my back -no- I don't wet my pants when
Im about to crash a car either!bad analogy

11. moving imagery-yes. stills-usually but not always.

12. No-I've never been tickled really good and for a long time,
but theres a dungeon in my future!!!

13.FEMALE

14.yes-even if I didn't say it!

15.Sawing the woman in half, on telivision. As soon as I could
watch t.v.-three yrs, two? It all was there! B&D, Feet
and tickling. You could do this to a woman, in front of an
audience no less,and she appeared happy and content- telling
my brain this is a healthy desire. Yup. Sounds right.

16.See 15., above.

17.Yes. As soon as puberty kicked in! I will occasionally discuss
foot fetishism but not the tickling.

18.Only with a steady lover or girlfriend. I show them too!



19.Shy

20. Normally, it's extremely fun, often erotic. Never used it to
seriously punish anyone-although there are those who truly deserve it.

I mentioned it earlier...It's been so long since I was a ticklee
that I see it as a wonder cure! I've known for months that I
actually NEED it! Sex is there for my taking, but it's not the
same. Four or five days later I'm a grouchy testy beast again.
But like I said, being thoroughly tickled (even in bondage)would
equate to being showered with great tenderness! I'm so busy
giving that now my balance is off! My chi is trapped and being
tickled is the only cure that seems to fit! I've lost all desire
to socialize, can't keep my mind on work, etc.

Under perfect conditions it would go down like this(pshyco-drama)

I am a Batman-James bond type. I am captured by a team of woman
whose job it is to give me an attitude adjustment. My reputation is
known- I'm a stubborn S.O.B. with great will power. If they try to
break me with pain, by the time I break I will probly be in a coma.!
No dice. They need me intact.They must break me with... tickling!!!
Gasp! Oh, recently I realized that I want to hear them say my real
name.

I don't do this often but I think I would find a substance to
make me "!ecstatic!!" Now I don't think I'd need it at an arranged
meet like the folks here at TMTF conduct, but at a professional dungeon with strangers I would need it. And here's the kicker, I don't need it for the session itself! And I would'nt need it if I was the tickler...I need it because I'm too uptight about having to ASK to
be tickled! Isn't that crazy?!!

NUFF SAID- Tact

It is also a rush for me to induce raucous laughter and reactions in a woman, as well as excitement, in doing something so playful.

Tickling is an important part of my life. I've described how I became interested in tickling, but it has more to do with revenge and control than anything else. I guess I'm somewhat sadistic about it, but I enjoy the fear and anguish created in my victims as I disclose my desire to helplessly tickle them. When they agree to let me have my way with them, I am delighted. When they will not consent I find that I'm even more aroused! THIS REALLY FASCINATES ME!!

I tickle women everyday...MOSTLY PLAYFULLY! I will sneak up behind them and give them a poke on the ribs or in the belly as pass them in the hall. NO ONE has ever thought I was sexually harrassing them or has complained. Some have retaliated though...and then there's a TICKLE WAR!

Often, I will approach a victim in a relaxed setting and inquire about their ticklishness.
If I'm successful in getting a response...there's tickling ahead! Also, massages can turn into tickling too.

My favorite time to tickle someone is when they least expect it. Like in a restaurant (preferably a booth) with other people at the table. I would trap her ankle with my crossed legs and bring her foot into my lap...the look is absolutely precious when you begin to loosen her laces or tug at the shoe. It's like they know what their in for!

The shoe, sandal, boot, clog or whatever is slowly removed nonchalantly...as I'm engaged in other conversations...I never take my eyes off the victim as she's usually tugging for her life...and turning a blushing red! Holding the foot tightly with my knees...I fold my hands inside out in front of her and everyone listenning to my knuckels and joints crack and then wiggle my fingers at the victim before moving them out of sight under the table. The victim usually melts into silent laughter as the others at the table look on approvingly!

Tickle little miss popular and you can be shunned for being different, tickle the sweet little angel next to you in Acting class and stars will shoot across the sky. I love life's little games and I'll always play them, tickling happens to be one of my favorite.

Tickling is all about reaction, it's about feeling the squirming, hearing the laughs, trying things out to illicit new and different responses. A light tickle on the foot can draw a different kind of laugh than an intense underarm tickle. The genuine laughter of a truly ticklish woman is like music, her body is the instrument. With practice you can become quite the composer 😀

 

[NYCity]

Always glad to help the educational process.

1.What is your sex? Male

2.What is your age? 36

3.Do you consider your fascination with tickling to be sexual, sensual, or mearly playfull? Sexual, sensual and playful, in that order

4.Do you prefer being the tickler or the ticklee more? Strictly a Tickler

5.What is your favorite part of the body to tickle?(just one please) Stomach (including related areas---ribs, belly button)

6.Do you have a preference for tickling males or females? If yes, which? Only Females

7.Do you involve bondage in your tickling practices? Whenever humanly possible.

8.Do you see tickling having potential to be punishing or dominating? Yes, both, but punishment is only for fantasy, I would never really use it that way.

9.Do you become aroused watching your prefered type of tickling happen? Yes

10.Can you get yourself to orgasm while watching your prefered type of tickling happen? Yes

11.Do you prefer tickling imagery to any other form or erotic imagery? Yes

11.Have you ever had an orgasm(or come close to one) from being tickled?(for ticklees) Not Applicable

12.Do you like female and/or male feet? Female Feet

13.Would you say that you have a foot fetish? Not really, but a small one. They turn me on in real life, but never in pictures or video (strange, huh?)

14.Do you have any idea where your tickling fascination came from? If so, please describe? My earliest memory in life (age 4) was watching a girl I liked being gang tickled by other girls. Then when I was about 6 or 7, I saw a girl I liked being tickled by a gym teacher (it was only when I got older, that I realized that he was probably a child abuser)

15.At roughly what age did you become fascinated with tickling? Age 4

16.Were you introduced to tickling, or did you develop an innate interest in it? See Question 14

17.Have you ever experienced guilt or shame about your tickling fascination? Yes, I'm still mostly in the closet, and terrified that people will find out. The only exceptions are strippers that I've tickled after a few drinks, or girls at a dongeon or bondage club.

18.How many people that you know personaly(not online) have you told about your fascination? None, except as detailed in 17.

19.Would you describe yourself as open or shy about your tickling interest? Extremely shy.

20(final question).What does tickling mean to you? I'm being deliberately vague here. I want you to really analyze your interest in tickling, and tell me why you are fascinate with it. The answer may lie in Question 14. At an early age, I learned to associate tickling with sex (or as close to sex as a little kid could understand) Another possibility is that I like to see women writhing. It's similiar in a way to a woman having an orgasm, which turns me on. Beyond that, I have no idea.

I hope this helps!
