Maybe this has come up before, i don't know. Don't really feel like researching it right now. 😛 Does anybody else find it difficult or uncomfortable to say out loud any form of the word 'tickle'. Maybe its just me, or the fact that I'm still somewhat in the closet with this. I'm not a shy person either. I could walk up to the president of the united states and yell 'Cock!', but I have a hard time saying the word 'tickle' to my wife.... ANY SIMILAR STORIES OUT THERE?
 
No, seriously. Saying "tickle" is almost as hard for me to say as "feet" lol. I have no idea why though! I feel like I'm going to be judged when I say those words, even though I'm using them in totally innocent situations. I'd like to know the psychology behind that, because I'm really not a shy person either.
 
Yeah, I hear that Fancy. I have some trouble saying feet too. i don't know about you but I tend to make up cutesy playful substitute words or phrases so I don't have to say the real thing. Good to know I'm not alone though! =)
 
I think it has something to do with the fact that we associate with soooo much more than just a pair of feet or a simple tickle that by saying it, we're almost getting too personal or revealing too much.
 
I can definitely relate! When I was growing up, if I got caught tickling someone and yelled at I was mortified. Then, as I got older I would never say the word for fear of being ridiculed for even thinking about it. Nowadays, I'm slowly getting around it, but it still kinda embarrasses me to say the word for fear of being judged.
 
I have the same fear and feel I know why we do as well. We fear that if we say tickle or feet that someone will accuse us of having the fetish. It is silly, I know, but we have that irrational fear that by saying feet or tickle or by tickling someone that we have a fetish. I still am uncomfortable watching people tickle other people. Obviously I am interested, but I don't want them to know that. Tickling and feet are sexual for me and I don't mix that with my friends. Some people have the ability to keep the two separate, but I lack that skill. That is why I feel so uncomfortable saying those words.
 
i actually know exactly what your talking about,
my problem is though, my sister thinks i have a foot fetish cuz when i was younger (like 10 years ago) i used to tickle all her friends feet when they came over (my sister was in 12th grade when i was ten years old, so i was 10 tickling high school students)...

so i feel really paranoid around her when i say the word tickle or feet cuz i automatically assume shes gonna bring up the past and say i have a foot fetish again...
 
hahah I used to be that way when i was like 14, I was still awkward with girls and having a tickling fetish was just worse!!
 
Emish, have to say that the dog in your picture is Adorable!!! I know its off topic but, its my thread!! lol
 
For me, it depends on who I'm talking too. There are people I can be uncomfortable saying it in front of, others I have no problem at all.
 
Yeah I'm terrible at handling situations where "the word" comes up with vanilla people.
In fact once a long time ago one of my exes friends asked my ex if he was ticklish and he wouldn't say so he was like,
"you're his girlfriend. where is he ticklish?"
i just froze and looked at them like a deer in headlights trying to figure out how to respond without sounding too into it and finally said,
"...i don't know..."
they were like "you don't know? you're his girlfriend"
and my ex was like "yeah you totally know"...
so i stood there wide-eyed and quiet hoping they'd stop talking to me.
and they were finally like "oookay..." and changed the subject.
Later on my ex asked "whats wrong with u? why did u act so weird just now?"
..... he obviously didn't know about my fetish. lol.
Sooo embaressing!
My current bf of 4 years has known about it since the beginning and we both use code words when talking about it. lol! 😉
:peace:

Yeah I have the same issue. Hell even hearing it in public makes me quiver. In a good way but still I think a majority of it especially if you closeted about it, is just plain paranoia. Never know when your going to let it slip that you have a fetish for it so you get a little tense.
 
I have little to no shame; I have nearly no inhibitions. No words are bad or evil, only how they are used can be bad. I have no problem or reservations about saying the word 'tickle' out loud or in public. Fitting it into normal conversation however is a different story.
 
All I can say is , considering all the fetishes out there that the mainstream public already knows about: BDSM, candlewax and clothespins, barnyard animals, down to the more mild but still wide-known like big tits, legs and stuff, if you think about it, tickling is cute and fun as fetishes go!

Really, how many stories have we heard where one partner will reveal to their SO that they are into tickling and their SO is all like "that's so cute!"

Think of it this way, compare that to having to tell your SO that the only way you can get off is by rolling around in cow manuer with a flashlight shoved up your ass, and you might feel more at ease with letting them in on your tickling fetish......let alone just the word "tickle"
 
Yep, I've had this problem for a long time. You know the saying "easier said than done"? Well for me tickling is easier done than said! When is that ever the case?!
 
I think the "embarrassment" or inability comes from thinking "How can anyone else REALLY know how I feel when tickling is brought up"? How could there be anyone else on the planet that really wants to tickle or be tickled? I bet everyone of us remembers the first time tickling was seen on TV or looked it up in the dictionary.

Question, If you did look up the word in the dictionary, Did you take it to another area to read it on your own?

For me that is the most amazing thing about this place or a gathering. YOU AREN'T the only one!!
Hell, I remember seeing "Leg Show Magaine" as a 12 year old at the news stand and thought, WOW There is a magazine dedicated to legs!!??? That alone made me feel less "weird" since all of my buds were talking about tits... and I didn't are one lick about tits, but I thought a woman's legs were awesome and ended at two body parts I found fascinating and wanted to touch!

Good topic and comes up quite regularly.

Code words, huh? Like a Mad Lib, no doubt. I can see it now:
Setting, in a public place, we will say, the park. Anonymiss86 starts talking to her bf after some silence.
Anonymiss: So, tonight I was thinking we could have some 'ice cream' after dinner tonight.
BF: Okay, tha-ohhh 'ice cream'! But you don't want 'vanilla ice cream', do you?
A: No, I am not in the mood for 'vanilla'; something more flavorful...
BF: Like 'chocolate ice cream'?
A: *scowling* NO! Like 'tutti frutti' flavored.
BF: Yes, but not in a cone, with a 'bowl and spoon' (bondage and tickle toys), right?
A: Totally, and maybe some 'whipped topping' (blindfold) and 'chocolate sauce'.
BF:.....Wait, what is chocolate sauce again?
A: *whisper*
BF: OH YEAH! totally! Can I get some 'ice cream', too?
A: 'Tutti frutti' if you want. And maybe another non-vanilla flavor-but NO chocolate!
BF: Dang.

Hahaha!
Not entirely!
Neither one of us have the attention span to go that in-depth with it.
We'd both lose each other quickly with that kind of strategy and probably end up at Baskin Robbins.
We actually use the word "chick" derived from when you tickle someone and u say "chickachickachick"
So we say chicked, chickish, chicking, and chicks. Hahaha! aka: "Can I chick you tonight?" "You're chicking me!"
Weird I know! But no one knows what we're talking about! Aaand that's the point!! 🙂
:peace:
 
This is an interesting subject and I've seen this discussion here before. It's nice to know that I am not alone lol. Yes tickle, tickling or by far the one that makes me the most uncomfortable by far.."ticklish" ugh. I recently posted about my neighbor's 20 yr old daughter admitting that she is "extremely ticklish". I swear she looked right at me when she said it lol. I remember that it made me so nervous that I swallowed and it felt like everyone in the room was looking at me.

I wouldn't say weird. That is a really good idea; instead of sounding like weirdo perverts with a fetish, you sound like mental patients that are taking the same meds! Of course, I sound like that when not speaking in code.

But I realized the other day I have no shame when talking. I said out loud, at my job, in front of a customer: "I mean, the real reason that it isn't okay to kill people is because society hates a rotting corpse and digging holes is a pain in the ass!" So what the hell would I care (as long as there are no children) to say,'yeah she ties me up just tight enough.'
