I typically compose erotic fiction, however one morning I had the inspiration to write this essay on a Lee’s perspective of Tickling. It was fun digging into all the introspective aspects of this and thought some may be interested in reading it. Since this is more of a discussion topic, I though the appropriate place to post this would be here in the Discussions.
The Stages of Tickling (One Lee’s Perspective)
I found it rather enjoyable one morning doing an introspective evaluation as to ”Why this activity impacts (so many) of us?” Granted this is my own ‘Lee’ perspective from observations over the years which sadly have been adding up too much lately (the years). While this essay focusses primarily on the aspects of Tickling, I will from time to time touch upon other Fetishes that have become intertwined with that lure of being Tickled.
First and foremost, I do want to begin by stressing this essay applies only to that dynamic between two consenting adults, that being, they both agree to participate in this form of play.
Second, this is written with the perspective of myself already acknowledging my place as a submissive and will not delve too deeply into the BDSM/Domination/submission interaction which is an essay all of its own. I do adore being submissive and that space is my ‘Happy Place’ in this dynamic.
From this assessment, I keep concluding that there are Four Primary Stages involved with being Tickled and for any who get to enjoy all four in a regular fashion, I commend you and you should count your lucky stars that you can.
Stage 1 - The Initial Excitement!
The first clarification I feel is necessary (and I will attempt to do so throughout) is distinguishing between Excitement as opposed to Sexual Arousal. Yes, the two quite often do go together but it is possible to only have the Excitement component without the other. Truth be told, sexual arousal is also present (very quickly) thus I do consider myself a Ticklephile, that is one who achieves sexual arousal from the act being Tickled (or the thought of it). However for this particular stage, what I am trying to highlight on is that Initial Excitement stage of it.
The Initial Excitement, at least in my case, likely resulted from those early Fears of being Tickled. Somehow along the road, the “Oh no, NOT THAT!” panic and fear became something taking the form of excitement.
This stage is one we all get to enjoy since I believe regardless if we are either a full Ticklephile or one who is just very curious about the activity, there is this ‘pang in the stomach’ excitement one feels upon stumbling on materials, visuals, sounds (someone laughing hysterically as if they are being tickled) etc. triggering our mind to think more and more about the activity. Most times, this happens for me when doing what someone I know referred to as ‘Smutting’, meaning those times when perusing the internet looking for Fetish oriented materials. Agreed it happens much easier these days given the Internet and all the diverse interests that are now produced and obtainable these days. However that was not the case many years ago when I was a young adult. Back at that time, Adult Bookstores were the only avenue to find diverse materials, however Tickling was not a large section of it. Yes before that, there was Playboy, Penthouse publications, etc., however aside from the infamous Penthouse Forum (later I recall Variations magazine), finding Tickling content (at least in my experience) was basically non existent.
I typically would find Tickling magazines in the Bondage/BDSM section with the other fetish magazines and given my particular interests, it was absolutely RARE finding anything where the male was the Ticklee. I suppose knowing what I know now may have implied that ‘perhaps’ it may have been possible finding a male being tickled had I looked through the male/male publications? But with my personal interests always centered around a Dominant Female tickling a male, essentially my interests were not to be found. Being submissive, I was naturally drawn to the Female Domination publications and there were a a few Rare moments when they (magazine or Newspaper) would have a teaser photo on the cover or buried inside showing a male being tickled and those moments upon finding those were simply priceless!
There are also those Vanilla moments when the Trigger could occur. Many of us have admitted that Cartoons, Television Programs, or Movies containing a particular scene with someone being tickled. These were such powerful moments of excitement coupled with a sense of private humiliation particularly when others were in the room as well watching at the same time. My fear was that the others may realize the content impacted me. Indeed from when the interest began all the way to my adult years, I truly believed I was alone with this interest of being tickled and became extremely self-conscious about it.
I’ll diverge a little for the moment into my other fetishes. In my particular case, Elegant Gloves have always been a visual Trigger since they were connected from the very start with Tickling. That pang of initial excitement would occur from catalogues, women’s magazines (Cosmopolitan, Glamor, etc., even Bridal oriented ones) because back in that time, women would be occasionally be wearing long gloves in the photos. Admittedly though, not every photo would have the same impact. Using an analogy when thinking back to my days going to singles clubs. Yes there were many attractive people there, but you would not find them all attractive. I began to notice there had to be either an expression on the woman’s face or a pose that she was doing which would have that ‘excitement’ impact on me. These days, I keep concluding it can be something as simple as her expression or smile. Thus there would be photos that would initiate that Excitement causing me to fantasize of being Tickled by the woman in the photo. Even to this day (i.e., my age), the age of the woman capturing my attention is typically similar to mine if not older.
The same happens when finding someone’s profile or a Dominatrix ad who makes it very clear they enjoy engaging in Tickle Torture with their clients! Even if they do or don’t feature photos showing Tickling, a simple photograph of their face becomes priceless, particularly if they are smiling. To me, there is nothing more powerful than looking into the eyes of someone who Adores dishing out doses of Tickle Torture! Yes, one may call them evil but I do find it an exciting and endearing quality. I will expound more on this particular aspect when discussing Stage 4.
Nowhere has this stage though been the most strongest as those times when a total combination of my fetishes appear out of the blue. In my situation, when first finding Tyler and Matt’s videos, it was instantaneous excitement (and yes, arousal) seeing Matt tied to the bed in his boxers, with Tyler topless but wearing black opera gloves while she was tickling him. For me that was the holy grail of a Trigger and I quickly became an instant customer of theirs at the time.
Stage 2 The Anticipation!
I suppose how I will best distinguish The Anticipation Stage from The Excitement Stage will be for those situations where the notion of a Tickle Session becomes a True Reality and is in motion to happen.
For those who know me and the erotic fiction I have written are very well aware that this is the stage I do find most intriguing, enjoyable, exciting, and yes, sexually arousing!
I can even remember (way back in college) when my first true Tickle Session was in play, a lady I was dating had agreed to wear a pair of long gloves we purchased together, tie me to the bed, and then tickle me. The euphoria running through my mind was priceless as I waited downstairs for her to change into her evening gown, glide on the gloves, and prepare the bed!
Indeed and due to the Fetishes, I am a visually oriented person, therefore just watching the woman as things go into motion can become highly arousing. Truthfully, visual triggers can be the most subtle of things. For those fortunate enough to have experienced being tied down, it is a very erotic process watching the woman (particularly when she is skilled at doing it) systematically tying up and restraining their subject. It is often a silent period where only the sounds of the rope, straps, chains, or whatever are heard beyond your own breathing or the beating of your heart. I still remember those moments when the woman from college was reaching over me (perhaps when tying my hands above my head or affixing them to the bed) and her breasts (barely being held back by their bra or lingerie) were dangling just above my face. I always desired to reach up and kiss them, but was unable to do so. Naturally, if in the situation of being with a Professional Dominatrix, I would never think of trying it because I was NOT Permitted to do so.
Again, for those who prefer blindfolds or total isolation (loss of senses), you have my sincere apologies because watching the Ler throughout is so very priceless to me.
Perhaps the holy grail of this Stage are those rare times when a Lee is not at all aware a tickle session will be ensuing who then finds themselves thrust into this stage completely by surprise. I remember a story years back when a guy was challenged by a lady who cleverly bet him that she could tie a knot he could not get out of. He eventually became the victim of her true intention of tickling him once he was restrained. In my past experience there was one occurrence when on a First Date with a lady where we engaged in what I thought would be a simple Tickle Fight. While I did actually try to win, she clearly got the best of me. Her fingers and technique simply took command and she had fun laying on top of me calling me a wimp the entire time. Later that evening, I tried another sneak attack, but again she simply got the upper hand and tickled me into submission. Sadly, she was moving away soon after that initial date and is one I call ‘The Tickler who got away!’ For this essay I will also add that while I am quite convinced she did not notice I was aroused during these tickle fights, had she actually noticed my true arousal, the activity may have been explored further?
Stage 3 The Tickling!
I am sure that some may have skipped reading the other stages and jumped straight to this one.
I define this stage as that moment of surrender after the Ticking begins and when the Lee becomes fully aware that they cannot stop nor get away from it. That is, the Tickler is in complete control and the tickling will not stop until they choose to do so (less of course the Lee uses their Safeword). *{I will avoid entering into any arguments at this time with respect to Safewords because I agree they are essential in consensual situations which is the intent of this essay.}*
For those of you who unfortunately have yet to experience this stage, don’t feel like you are all alone as you will realize that you are in good company with those of us who have experienced it and long to experience it again. I believe no matter how many times someone experiences this predicament (if only just once or countless times), they will never feel as though they have had enough for themselves.
Some may disagree (and understandably any Ler’s reading this), but of the Stages I describe, this is the most frustrating and painful stage of this activity. No matter how much one desires to be in this predicament, once they are helpless, being tickled, and at the mercy of a skilled Tickler, they will likely feel just as anyone else who DESPISES the notion of being tickled. The sensations are very extreme due to the sensory overload to the extent that you cannot stand it for long. Once deeply into this stage, you will likely do whatever you can to get away from it or try to make it stop. This is why I personally prefer immobilization forms of bondage and while I have very limited experience at being completely immobilized, I would find it as the most agonizing way to experience anguishing Tickle Torture. I prefer immobilization also for safety reasons, for both the Ler and the Lee since light bondage can result in certain injury for either party. But I do understand why others prefer being able to thrash and try to get away or even experience it with the lack of using bondage at all. Regardless of the type of bondage, once someone is in this predicament and at the mercy of another who is intent on tickling them out of their mind, feelings of Panic and Horror will most likely enter the Lee’s mind. There have been times I feared I would pass out or be tickled to death when at the hands of those who were very skilled at it.
The next essential component of this stage at least in my opinion is to have some form of engagement or interaction between the two. I have been tickled at times by someone who preferred being silent and in my opinion, it took away or did not allow the full benefits of this stage to unfold. I absolutely believe there has to be some form of objective to be achieved from this predicament and agony. Yes, this brings back the time old cliche of being tickled for information, i.e., the Tickle Interrogation and those scenarios can be very rewarding. However what I have found that makes it even more interesting is by adding additional ‘humiliation’ into this stage (agreed Humiliation is already an aspect of being tickled). In this stage, the Lee is trying to get away or make it stop. When they start reaching their limits, they may likely agree to things they would normally Never agree to. Thus, I adore the idea of a Ler tickling a Lee to the point of agreeing to do things afterwards that they would NEVER agree to in their vanilla life. Then afterwards, should the Lee not fulfill their obligation, the Ler has well known Leverage over them (Something I will discuss in Stage 4).
Finally, I cannot discuss this stage without mentioning the dilemma of sexual gratification for those who (similar to I) are sexually aroused before and during the Tickling. To Climax or not to Climax? Ahhh, that is the Dilemma? For some, including myself, achieving that climax is one of the goals hoped to be a reward after enduring the activity. However and as many are aware, being Tickled afterwards can be downright sadistic! In my experience, a Ler can have a very enjoyable time playing with this dilemma by allowing the Lee some time to recover while also capitalizing on their sexual arousal at the same time. Perhaps with myself and the various Fetishes (Gloves, Feet, Nylons) it is a time when those can become diabolical tools which play into the dynamic until the Ler decides to switch back to the Sadistic Tickling or keep edging the Lee until they begin going out of their mind from the sexual frustration. Obviously should the Lee loose control and climax during the torment or edging, no better punishment than tickling them afterwards!
Stage 4 The Aftermath!
I’ve read from others as to the importance of the Post Session period or Aftercare and agree it is essential as the Lee recovers after a Tickle Session.
From my own personal experiences, these moments can be feelings of embarrassment or even feelings of regret. A full tickle session is a very exhausting and traumatic mental experience and I too have had that regretful feeling similar to those like a Hangover the day after vowing to ‘Never do it again!’ As I tried to convey, the action of being severely tickled and not able to stop it can be a very traumatic mind space. Even back in those early days, my girlfriend in college would purposely tickle me even beyond when I would scream my Safeword. Indeed, I felt those same regretful feelings but that then created another ‘interesting’ dynamic I would like to expound on.
Afterwards, the Lee cannot help but to recognize the Power or Aura of the Ler! The Ler simply has a very powerful leverage over them. Again, this gets back to that twinkle in ones eye or the way they smile, however after someone tickles you to that limit or knows very well that they can reduce you to hopeless hysterics all with the notion You actually ENJOY IT, you will never look at them in the same way again. Whenever they look directly at you or smile, you will always know they have that Upper Hand (i.e. The Alpha), knowing your secret or weakness resulting with you acting completely different around them. I have typically visualized it as a fear that a mistake or misstep on my part will result in them taking me right back to that Ticklish Horror again! This is also the appeal I get from reading a Dominatrix’s ad who conveys they truly adore performing Severe Tickle Torture on their clients. Again, the twinkle in their eye or the smile on their face, will cut right through to me.
Initially for a period, this ‘Aftermath’ may prevent you from wanting to subject yourself to the whole predicament again, however I have found that as time goes by, another Trigger of Excitement will most likely occur making you begin to think about it again. Then another, then another until it finally grows to that point of longing to submit and experience it again.
Thus the vicious circle continues!
