Tickling and touch

[LD_Tickler]

I suppose this one is for the lers.

How much of your tickling fixation is related to touch? I've recently come to realize that I derive a huge amount of pleasure from the actual touching aspect of tickling. I've never really liked toothbrushes or tools of any kind, and I guess that's why.

I don't really know what it is. It's not simply the sensation of skin that I like. The experience of actually inflicting "suffering" with my hands... the violation of personal space by getting my hands on her...

It seems to me that I must subconsciously consider unsolicited, unresisted touching to be the ultimate expression of dominance and ownership.

I don't really know where I'm going with this. Does this ring any bells with anyone more learned in D/s philosophy?

k I'ma use Ash's account instead of logging into my own. 😀 (I'm her BF, so I'm the 'ler)

For me, touch is a big part. I've only tied&tickled Ashley once, and even then I only used tools for about 5~10mins. (toothbrush & comb)
I love the whole concept of the laughter being produced via my fingertips/hands, granted the tools would be in my hands under my control, but I like the sensation and feeling of just using my fingers.

Personally, I really enjoy the actual feel of the skin. I'm happy to use tools but not exclusively. And I think I like the idea of directly causing that tickling sensation in someone.

To put it this way, fingers are definitely my "favourite tool". Directly touching the 'lee adds another level of intimacy to me, and besides, it's freckin' awesome to actually feel the twitching and spasms as you go over the body! 😀

Then again I like most kinds of touch, not just for tickling, be it cuddling, holding hands, giving a massage, hugging, etc. I get what you say about "ultimate expression of dominance and ownership" too though, and that's definitely part of it as well. I guess for me it's a combination of several different factors. 🙂

^ I agree Carsomyr!

I like physical contact. I was raised knowing touching, hugging ect! It is a bonding experience whether it is friends or lovers! I do not mind tools but I enjoy the contact! My fingers are a pretty good tool I must say!
