Tickling and your personality

[Ticklish OH Guy]

I was wondering if your tickling preferences, ler or lee, matches your personality or are you the opposite. Like if you're a more of a "type A" kind of person are you a ler or do you go against your normal personality traits and enjoy being a lee.

Also, how do you prefer your tickling partner? Do you liking tickling (or being tickled by) submissive types or do you like tickling the crap out of dominant people?

My tickling personality doesn't match my usual personality at all. I am strictly a lee, I love tickling because I lose control totally - but actually, I am not submissive, and I am a total control freak. 🙂 Have no clue how that makes sense! 🙂

As for the tickler, I need him to be just a little bit threatening and dominant.

Me having a love for tickling in general is at odds with my personality. Generally speaking, I'm a fairly abrasive person until someone gets to know me, plus I'm always very serious. Go figure that I happen to love to be tickled and lose control and laugh a lot.

I don't know, my tickling personality and my usual one are sort of different. The similarities in both are that I'm stubborn, and enjoy fighting back. The only difference may be that I'm much for weaker when it comes to tickling, and usually, I can be a very strong person. Yeah, I would say tickling brings a weakness in me.

I enjoy aggressive men. Someone to push me around, but in a safer way than what I'm used to.

I am a 'ler but I don't think it has anything to do with my personality. I'm a very outgoing, yet easy going person. But, I don't like rude people and don't let anyone push me around. I don't think the 'ler in me has anything to do with it. I did read once that people with fetishes tend to be introverted, non-social individuals. That is definitely not me. Very interesting topic to discuss though!

Two different things to me. Same as who I am when I'm talking to you anywhere that's not in bed. Also, depends on the girl and what mood I'm in.

The answer to your second question is I always enjoy a good fight.

I would say to an extent.

In reality, I am a very mellow, easygoing person who doesn't take himself very seriously. I try to find humor in just about everything so it comes as no surprise that tickling and laughter would be linked with how I interact with the world.

Our tickling interests do not match our personalities. I am an easygoing person throughout my life. 'Ler I am more even keel than Karen. She is the more aggressive person in the relationship, the 'Lee...man can she talk. In the bedroom it is a different story. I am the more dominant and she likes it that way. She will usually start something that leads to her being tickled. She may spank my ass and give me that look as if she thinks she can get away with that. She knows what I will do to her. It's all a fun game.

My preference matches my personality, yes.

 

[Skipadeedoodah]

My personality with tickling and my "rest of the time" personality match up in certain ways. I'm always a smart mouth, always teasing people and trying to cause a bit of trouble, pretty much always playful.

Otherwise it's very different. I'm a control freak normally, and I always want to be in charge. With tickling, it couldn't be more opposite. The less control I have the better.

Well, let's see...as far as tickling goes, I am not afraid to tickle a new friend in a playful setting, or to talk about it with someone who is curious. Anyone who asks and wonders "Why tickling?" gets whatever curiosity they have settled, and I'm not shy about my fetish around strangers.

I guess my girlfriend would say that in general I am very outspoken and I don't mind conversing with strangers in non-fetish or non-tickling contexts. I don't mind being friendly or even flirty with the right kind of people, and I always have something funny to say to someone who might enjoy it.

I guess the two are correlated.

I am an extremely shy person. I was raised to not speak until you are spoken to, and worse, laughter was frowned upon. Whenever I giggled when I was a child, I was told that I had a stupid laugh. To this day I barely laugh in front of anyone for fear of being ridiculed, and I always cover my mouth. My husband says I have a beautiful laugh, and he loved to tickle me to get that laugh out. I enjoy being a lee because of the adreneline rush, and the fact that I will actually be expected to laugh!
I love to hear other people laugh though. My husband has a great laugh. It is one of those laughs that makes you laugh too. I enjoy making other people giggle, even if I have problems doing it myself. When I am a ler, that is really the only time my shy side takes a rest and I can be dominant and powerful.

When dealing with the parents of the world, I try to tell people to say, "Please lower your voice," or "Now is not an appropriate time, but when XYZ event is over, we can tell jokes and all laugh together." Also, I always tell people never, ever, neverever tell a child that his/her laugh sounds silly. It may seem like an inncent comment to you, but it could be devestating to them. Also, the laughter of children is precious, and when they are grown up, the laughter should stay with them. Telling a child that laughing is bad and not acceptable has lifelong consequences. I *know* that none of you guys and gals here would ever do this. I am just using this as a general example of "people."
