My wife and I met when we we’re around 21. Never hooked up but got close. I always tickled her when I could get away with it though, she’s uber-ticklish; especially on her feet. We were friends for awhile saw her off and on through out the years, then she facebook messaged me asking to have a beer. Long story short; we hooked up, after seeing her for a bit I admitted I had a tickle fetish to her. She’s accepted me, indulges and enjoys my fetish. i’m 43, we’re married and have a six year old. I would still consider her “vanilla”, but she doesn’t mind being tickled and I do everything to accomodate her in return 🙂.
