Tickling and Physical Attractiveness

[NJLaughs]

How important is physical attractiveness of the ler/lee for you in your tickling? I have pondered this for myself over the years and was just curious how other people thought or felt. I suppose this could depend on how you view tickling for yourself, either playful or sexual.

For me, tickling is primarily sexual but doesn't NEED to be. Though any exposure to tickling turns me on, it doesn't rule me and I can very much just enjoy a fun time of innocent tickle-play with no sexual overtones. As I have considered what I like about tickling, I've come to realize that, for me, I can enjoy tickling with any woman as long as she is not "unattractive" in my eyes. In other words, whether she is "stand-out-in-a-crowd" beautiful or just an average person and perhaps somewhat "plain", I would love tickle play with her.

I know all of us, if we are being honest, will agree that there are some people in this world that, in our eyes, are just plain ugly. I'm not being mean, just simply stating a fact of life that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I know that some women will put me in that "ugly" category for themselves. I'm no (insert favorite male celebrity here) and I don't try to be.

To summarize what I'm saying is that a woman does not need to be "attractive" for me to enjoy tickling with her. She just cannot be "unattractive". Any other thoughts on this subject?

As a P.S., since I also have a fetish for feet and pantyhose, I find the same thing applies there. A woman's face may be attractive to me, but if her feet are unattractive, I have no desire to touch them. However, in some cases, putting them in nylons can make a difference for me since nylons make a woman's feet even prettier to me. It's almost like chocolate: I think I'd eat a stick if you put a thick coating of chocolate on it first. 😛

Agreed. Though, for me, sex is permanently intertwined with tickling, tickling is not permanently intertwined with sex. Some of my co-workers anjoy a good tickle on occasion, and it's seen as nothing more than playful, light-hearted interaction in the workplace.

Back to the topic at hand, I have found that my standards for acceptable attractiveness are relatively low, at least when it comes to tickling. As long as I can look the prospective 'lee in the face for a length of time without thinking something negative, I have no problem tickling them. However, if I consider the 'lee to be ugly, I will still be friends with her, but I won't be touching her for any reason other than a necessity. Also, I am in the same boat as NJ...if the feet are ugly, no way.

Also, the 'lee HAS TO BE CLEAN. If your hygiene is not up to par, stay the hell away from me.

NJ Laughs, you said, "For me, tickling is primarily sexual but doesn't NEED to be. Though any exposure to tickling turns me on, it doesn't rule me and I can very much just enjoy a fun time of innocent tickle-play with no sexual overtones. As I have considered what I like about tickling, I've come to realize that, for me, I can enjoy tickling with any woman as long as she is not "unattractive" in my eyes.

I feel the same way. Well said, old chum!

Naw, to me it doesn't matter one iota. Tickling for me, unless being shared with an intimate partner, is just good clean wholesome fun, and the appearance of whomever I'm playing with doesn't mean a thing. They can still tickle, they can still laugh, and they can still be fun to play with, and that's all that matters to this ticklephile!

For me, I can enjoy sex without tickling and tickling without sex. If tickling always leads to sex or if you can't have sex without tickling, I think you have a bit of a problem because your spouse probably doesn't want tickling every time you have sex, and of course tickling someone other than your spouse with sexual overtones can of course lead to trouble. Anyway, my two cents worth.

Looks are essential for me. no attraction.....no tickling. period.

 

[lk70]

I deem it worthy.... 🙂

Just for you NJ, I'll take time out of life to answer 🙂

Two kinds of tickling...playful and sexual. Appearance doesn't matter very much at all for playful tickling.

If I find someone attractive, then the tickling is likely to become sexual (or at least cause feelings of arousal in me). I have to say that finding someone attractive has a lot more to do with things other than physical appearance, though. Sometimes there is just a magic chemistry you can't explain that just makes all interactions better.

Maybe im in a minority here, but tickling is never sexual for me. its always playful. and even though its playful, i still have to be into them physically. theres just no way i can tickle an unattractive woman.

 

[Avenger314]

hmm... for me, it's neither irrelevant nor crucial, so I'll say it's moderately important.

 

[kcantankerous]

I must be attracted to the one I'm tickling, otherwise I probably wouldnt have a problem tickling or being tickled by a guy. But again If Im not physically attracted Im not interested in tickling someone.

 

[tcklft]

Yeah, what knogz said.

 

[toymasters]

Attracted.

i don,t have a problem tickling attractive, and not so attractive women.It does not all have to be sexual for me i just like too here a women laugh. I also agree with njlaughs about nylons on a ladys feet.Nylons do make a women feet look better & smell good. Say have any you guys ever tickle a woman feet in a cast before, i did when i was 15.Man talk about a look on her face heehee.
