Sexuality of tickling depends on the context?

[Deadsea7777]

Just out of curiosity:

How can somebody said that tickling is not sexual to them?
Wouldn’t be more close to the true to say, that is sexual in a sexual context and is not sexual in a non sexual context?.
You could kiss your mother, your aunty, your father, your sister many old men out of respect, the front of old ladies, I do not know, your nephew, your niece, your daughter, your son, and the person for whom you love to die for and fell sexually attracted to.
They are all kisses, only the last had a sexual meaning.
You could hug your mother, your aunty, your father, your sister, many old men out of respect, old ladies, I do not know, your nephew, your niece, your daughter, your son, your fellow soldiers the war is finish, and also the person for whom you love to die for and fell sexually attracted to.
They are all hugs, again, only the last had a sexual meaning.
And the same with caressing.
You love your mother and father and brother or sister, family in general, and somebody you not only love but feel sexually attracted to. You love all of them, but only manifested that love by sex with the person you feel sexually attracted to.
You can tickle many people too (however you do not say hello to anybody by tickling them!, like you could do with kissing or hugging), but again, is a sexual activity or not, to tickle your son or daughter is an innocent game, to get in torrid tickling foreplay with your husband/wife/lover/ etc., is a sexual exciting activity (If you are into that kind of foreplay, of course).
I believe the sexuality or not of the tickling activity is related also to the context in which it happen.

Well tickling is tickling. The intention behind it is what changes the meaning. IF you are tickling to just get a reaction then that's all you are doing..enjoying the moment. IF not then you are accompanying a certain "flirtation/sexual" desire to it.

If I am with IrishGirl, and I start ticking the living hell out of her (as I usually do), it's very sexuallycharged. She is my lover, after all, and it usually leads to fun afterwards.

If I am at a friend's house and their child/little sibling/etc is being a pain in the ass and ends up getting some sence tickled into them, there's absolutely not sexual reaction: they are a child and in my mind, the tickling=sex association is automatically turned off.

If I am with a female friend and they wind up being tickled, there might be a physical reaction of sexual arousal, but that's it. There's not mental or emotional reaction to it, and because it would be entirely innapropriate to think it's ok, the tickling=sex reaction, again, is turned off.

Well, some people simply don't see it as a sexual thing. But, I suspect that most would depend on context. I personally enjoy it primarily as a friendly way to exchange fun/affection between friends. It's only sexual with my hubby. I'm not interested it persuing it on that level with anyone else. At the same time, I don't have a problem if a friend with whom I'm enjoying a bit of fun gets "more" out of it...as long as that isn't their only reason for engaging in it with me.

If you kiss your aunty, it's not sexy.

If you take a shower it's not sexy.

But if you kiss your aunty in the shower, then the jury may have to retire before reaching a verdict.

lolol you do come up with winning posts..

anyway tickling can be sexual, but in the few times i met with members from the forum..it was strictly tickling only, with no thought of any sexual undertones..in my stories, it's always sexual, because when i fantasize about tickling and bondage, i always then fantasize about sexual things..i think it all depends on who is tickling you..if you already have a sexual connection or are attracted to that person, then yes it could definitely become sexual..

Tickling, within the context of adult/adult interaction is most definitely intimate touching. There is no other reason to do it.

I think viper was on the money with his post, but I'll go a step further to say that in addition to the context under which the tickling takes place, I think the type of tickling bears a pretty important role as well.

My tickling fetish produces sexual titillation whenever I engage in it with an adult. I'm not talking about a poke in the ribs, or a quick stroke across the foot. I'm talking about a deliberate, prolonged tickle. In EVERY case, that kind of tickling is intertwined with eroticism - not SEX, but sexual excitement.
