Tickle Fetish Wearing Off

[renegadeguy2000]

I don't know where to start, so I'll be blatantly to-the-point.

I think my tickle fetish is wearing off. Though tickling is still fun (and me and my girlfriends flirt all the time, sometimes with tickling included), but it's not appearing anymore at a list of top priorities when it comes to sex, girls, or even any kind of relationship for that matter. Seeing as it's starting to warm up again, I've been checking out all the girls when you know what they do best - wear revealing shoes. I think I just now have a stronger foot fetish.

I don't understand it. I don't find myself wondering if an attractive girl has ticklish feet, or is ticklish at all for that matter. Now mind you, my foot fetish isn't like those of certain people's who give our little commune a bad rep, I'm just more attracted to those girlfriends of mine who have really nice feet.

I don't think this means I'll stop tickling altogether. I mean, how many people without a tickle fetish actually tickle for fun or when certain "playtimes" arise? Just about DAMN NEAR EVERYONE does.


Does anyone feel the same at all?

i haven't been tickled for fun hardly any, and definitely not during play time..sighs...

you aren't weird..maybe only finding that other things count more than the ticklish "fetish" in your life at this time...if i'm not reading a story or watching a clip or on this forum, i know i don't think about it lots..but that could be because the times i do actually get tickled are few and far between, so that it isn't really a constant on my mind as it probably is for those who are able to indulge on a daily or at least a regular basis..

It isn't wearing off as such for me, but I am finding it easier to control.

Wow! Once again, here I thought I was the only one to feel something like this...!

So, after pondering, I think--at least for me personally--maybe it's because of the personal inundation after full "outage" and the gradual lack of the "forbidden fruit" syndrome since spending so very much time here. I went through this once before myself, but the way I fixed it was to simply avoid everything tickling-related (including TMF ) for awhile. When I came back, there was a remnant of the "oomph" that returned--but, like you Renegade, my fixation has turned more to my feet than anything else (mostly due to a very special friendship that I've developed with someone who shares my fixations almost exactly). And now that my husband knows, accepts and "plays" a little, it's still fun--but tickling per se doesn't bring me the breathless, almost painful excitement it once did even now.

Kind of like when a guy is 12 or so, seeing bras on pretty girls in a VS catalog is enough to get him to "launch", so to speak. After awhile, he needs more because he becomes accustomed to that level of visual stimulus and moves up to standard Playboy. Next level, PH and/or Hustler, then movies, then...well, for example, my father. He's 68 years old and a sexual addict (not in the good sense, in the sad sense); I know for a fact that vanilla material used to be his thing in his 20s and 30s, but now--sadly, if it's not something truly deviant, it can only be rated by its "yawn factor" by him.

In short--I think continued exposure to just about anything makes the majority of us become jaded to that which originally drew us in.

I really don't think it's fading, RG2000. It's just morphing. 😉

My tickling fetish grows stronger by the day. no signs of letting up either.

 

[Lttg]

I'm considering trying to drop my tickle fetish all together. It's not that I'm ashamed of it or that it causes me problems as such. Basically I just love my current girlfriend a lot, and while she's ticklish, she doesn't actually enjoy the experiance of being tickled (dad tickled her too much as a child, we all know the story).

Anyway I'm attempting the easy way out at the moment and am just seeing if i can make it go away. I'm not one to let something like this run my life so with any luck I can just fade it out gradually and then stop. Obviously there may come a time down the line where I realise I can't get rid of it and I just have to get some kind of release from it. If that day comes then I hope me and my gf will have a strong enough relationship that maybe she will accomodate me, or that we can work a way around it.

At the end of the day, life will be a lot easier without this fetish 🙂 and while it is good that some people embrace it, I do not believe it is something someone should WISH to have.

Believe it or not, people with tickling "fetishes" also have things that are more of a priority. It never has and never will be that top priority of mine. I actually do have a life and tickling isn't always involved. In fact, it is hardly ever involved.

Just because you don't have the urge or whatever as much anymore doesn't mean it's wearing off. All in all, if you still enjoy it when it DOES happen then why be concerned? Most people, myself included, have thought things were
"dying out" because they would just get comfortable or used to things. Being comfortable is no reason to worry that it is lost forever.

However, I am sure there is someone somewhere who has lost all interest in it completely, but I do not think that is happening to you. Just like with other things in life, tickling included, if you have other aspects of your life to worry about or just have other things to do, it's natural to be a little distant from other things.

For instance, sometimes I'm away from the forum for days or weeks at a time. Why? Because I have other things going on.


Did I even stay on topic with this? Oh hell. I don't care. I'm going to go shower now...

Oh my god, I was so glad to see this thread. I thought I was the only person on the planet to experience this.

My fetish wavers a lot. I go from times where I absolutely need to be tickled out of my head; it gets to the point where I could not have orgasms without even thinking it. Then there would be other times where it bored me and I didn't need it at all. It was very conflicting and I felt like my brain was on the fritz.

Sexually, I think these desires go back and forth. Sometimes you're really into it, sometimes you're not. Sometimes it goes to other places; in your case, it's feet. Feet are great; they can be very pretty, fun to play with. Honestly it doesn't matter if your desire for tickling is as strong as it used to be. If it fades altogether, it does. No big deal. It may come back, like it did for me, and if so, hey, go you. 😀

 

[EvenSteven]

the fetish remains strong

Yes, other things in life are important, but as i look back at my entire life, i must admit that the tickling fetish has always been with me an probably always will be. It is simply a part of me. i had it even before adolescence. i still feel it strongly now. i don't ever want to lose it.

 

[leeboy]

I find the same thing happening to me. Not so much that my tickling fetish is going away, it just doesn't turn me on as much or as quickly as it once did. I think it's due to the internet and the availability of tickling material. I remember back in the 70's and 80's any picture of a woman's foot would set me off, whether it was in a catalog, album cover, newspaper, etc. Any picture of a foot would cause tickling fantasies. And it I ever saw a tickling picture or read a tickle related story (very rare) forget it !!! But now there are so many tickling and foot fetish sites (which is a good thing don't get me wrong!), tickling videos etc... it takes a lot more to get me real excited again. I guess I'm spoiled.

 

[renegadeguy2000]

...

I'm not saying that I'm sad or angry that I think it's fading or morphing for that matter...It just means I can do even more without (or before) blowing the lid. 😉

 

[Iishieboo]

Sometimes, I find, when you get so much of something, it doesn't give you the thrill you once got. It's called, in economics, the law of diminishing marginal returns. ((I only remember that because it was pounded into me. >.< Hehe!)) Maybe, you should take a break from tickling and then come back to it. You may find a renewed desire for it.

Good Luck and big smiles!

 

[maniactickler]

Am i in a minority of people whos world revolves around tickling? i want nothing to do with a woman that isnt insanely ticklish.

 

[total-individua]

No, I would never go out with any man who didn't tickle me.

Every one of my boyfriends from as long as I could remember I only went out with because they tickled me.

A bit of a bad idea for some, but a GREAT idea for my current one 🙂)).

 

[totally_evil]

I feel for you pdxguy.

There are times, with me, when tickling is the be all and end all, and others where sex is everything I want. This is logical since I'm a sex addict as well, and I think it's linked with what I'm getting the most of.

There have been times when tickling hasn't turned me on as much as people touching my neck, back or feet (I have fetishs for them). I think it is to do with how much of each I'm getting as well as other things.

I know that if my bf stopped loving tickling, I'd give it up for him. Or atleast go elsewhere for tickling experiences.

 

[TaraToes25]

Wearing off...not really...

To me,its about my partner. A guy that obviously enjoys my feet (sucks my toes while we make love, and knows precisely when to rake my soles during intercourse) is my solemate... i have had a few lovers like this, but most guys I have been with are clumsy, and most women are not... that's the bi aspect of me.

I confess, any woman knows she is with a guy into tickling, especially my feet, when you feel him grow inside you are soon as you raise your toes to his shoulder asn he begins to stroke your foot... the feeling is immediate with men into feet, and foot tickling/toe sucking.

As long as i am the recipient of this sensation, i will never lose my love of being tickled.

And when i playfully tickle a guy, and see him become erect, that's a serious turn-on for me; a wonderful thing to watch if you like control at ll. And by the way... telling a guy that he's "about to get tickled" is so much fun too.... or saying " i think I'll tickle your feet now" in a very serious voice; the pseudo Domme approach. If he immediately reacts that is so much fun.... so sexy!

This is so common, and my friends and i discuss this all the time. We are all normal (i think) and bedroom play is just so cool; experiment......

Love, Tara

 

[totally_evil]

Thanks. 😀

I think I may be something of a sex addict as well, even though I'm not presently having sex. Over the years I've spent loads of time on the Internet looking for sexually stimulating material (including the TMF); before that, it was magazines and videos. Ironically, stuff like this may be what's keeping me from actually having sex! But I plan to change that. 😉

That doesn't sound like you're a sex addict. Its like a nicotine addiction, or being an alcoholic, it rules your life completely sometimes, and start to get panicky when you go without it for a while.

 

[WheresThe Clip?]

I think anyone who even hints that their tickle fetish might be wearing off, should be immediately expelled from the forum (no rights of appeal either).

 

[yummytummy]

I think you worry a little too much...

Just enjoy what you enjoy. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. 😛

For instance, there are many times that I want to be tickled before and/or during intimate moments, and there are times that I just want the guy I'm with to throw me on the bed and screw my brains out and then tickle me, and there are times when the thought of getting tickled does absolutely nothing for me. The 2 are not mutually exclusive and my mood can change moment to moment. (Well, there's 3 of my personalities...more to come, I assure you! LOL!)

Just relax and let your feelings guide you, dear. Nothing wrong with that, and nothing wrong with YOU if your sexual feelings towards some things are evolving or changing or even fading away altogether, trust me, something will pop up to take it's place 🙂

Take care of yourself.

 

[totally_evil]

Well then, I hope to be a sex addict someday. 😀 I really feel that I've been missing out. 😉

I hope you never have to feel what its like. It has nearly ruined my life several times, and I'm only 18.

I understand and can sympathize, TE. It's akin to the disorder of nymphomania, a sad and (now) dangerous disorder most generally resulting from anorgasmia. Unfortunately, adult-oriented media has put an entirely different spin on it and designated a nymphomaniac as "the golden ring" for a man, when in actuality, a nymphomaniac is a creature to be pitied...

I'm like you where my foot fetish outweighs my tickle fetish. I definitely like to tickle, but I think the difference for me is that when I tickle, it's not really necessarily a sexual fetish ALL the time. When I'm with my girlfriend and I get her down on the bed and tickle her, it doesn't always end up sexual. Sometimes, but even close to always. In fact, foreplay for me usually involves me playing with her feet, but not necessarily tickling them. So basically, playing with a woman's feet (ie: rubbing, sucking on the toes, etc.) is sexual to me, but tickling isn't always so. Odd.

 

[TaraToes25]

Not always....

Just out of curiosity, did you try telling those guys exactly what you wanted? I was once with a girl who criticized what I was doing without letting me know how she wanted it done. Talk about frustrating! But when she did let me know, things went quite nicely. 😉

I guess I am reluctant to say what i like...i just want chemistry to work.... if i want t be tickled, I will tickle my partner and he'll get the point, i hope... i just like sensual rather than someone clawing at me...
