Tickling & BDSM

[Artoo]

Hey all, I got the idea for this on the Tickle Dating Service thread, but didn't want to hijack the thread.
Also, apologies in advance if this thread has already been done.

Is tickling part of the BDSM culture, or is it a seperate entity? Is it becoming more accepted in the BDSM community, etc...

What are your thoughts? I'd like to think of them as being seperate, as I like tickling, but haven't got any fetish clothing >>> not accepted within the bdsm crowd!(jk)

Seriously, your thoughts, anyone?

On the one hand, some people in the BDSM community regard tickling as juvenile, silly, or beneath their notice.

On the other hand, some subs who like to be whipped until they're bloody or paddled until they're bruised have tickling as a hard limit (meaning it is forbidden entirely in their BDSM activities).

And, finally, some of them practice it as one of many forms of play. 😀

tickling is becoming more and more a part of the BDSM world. a few of the BDSM matching sites include tickling as a part of a person's repertoire, and i've seen quite a few members of said site with tickling listed as something they enjoy or are curious about. there are also BDSM clubs that include tickling in the activities.

They're separate insofar as many tickling fans don't like BDSM. However many BDSM fans do like tickling, so it's definitely a part of that broad spectrum.

Well I am into both! We actually use tickling as a punishment some times. I love to get tickled and I love to get spanked. Actually our last session I was being punished (not telling why) and this is how it went.......

So we were in the bedroom and he tied me spread eagle to the bed. He proceeded to tickle my feet mercilessly and I was begging him to stop saying I would do anything if he would just stop. Then he moved to my thighs and I was freaking out laughing and screaming. Next my nipples got it and I was thrashing as much as I could but the ties were short and I couldn't go very far. I told him he was a cock sucking asshole and he said "Oh really!" then he got out the electric toothbrush and I was bucking and screaming before he even touched me with it. "NOOOOOOOOOOO PLEASE IM SORRY NOOO!" Im telling you he was ruthless with that toothbrush! I was going out of my mind as he slowly descended my body with the blasted toothbrush. He was teasing me the whole time and if I thrashed to much I got a swift smack. When he started back on my feet this time with the el.toothbrush I was on the edge so I yelled a few REALLY bad things at him (did I mention I like to provoke punishment?) He then untied me flipped me over and got out the riding crop! I got the crop then the flogger and then the paddle!

So all in all it was a wonderful session for us both. We have as much tickling gear as we do the other stuff and we enjoy both activities separatly and at the same time.

Great story Anna. 😀
I agree that tickling is becoming more popular in the BDSM community.
"Harsher" tickling, and tickling as punishment are much more prevalent then they used to be.
Stories like yours are a great boost. Thanks for sharing!!!

I think BDSM is much to broad of a term.

I mean I guess you could use it to describe someone who likes "everything."

If somebody tells me, "I'm into BDSM" that means nothing to me.

I like specifics. What do you actually do? Again, if you do everything then I guess BDSM is the right term to describe yourself, but I think most people have some main things they like the most.

 

[SamuelKhan]

Not really bdsm

I'm more "bondage" than BDSM. Bondage, for me, is the hub of my fetishes (feet, rope, gags, and tickling), and not so much into leather and crops and ponygirls. I love ball gags, some leather cuffs, and straps.

I think tickling can stand on itself apart from "tickle feet! giggle! pant! pant!".

Tickling is loving. Parents tickle their kids. I tickled my 3-year-old second cousin. It's very innocent.

But I love it as playful torture, and use some bondage to ensure the maximum effect. I love hearing women laugh.

BDSM - Bondage Domination Sadism Masochism (or SadoMasochism) is more like sadistic _______

Tickling - is pretty much play but can be used as torture and turned into something sexual - fetish

as far as BDSM vs Tickling yes some people in BDSM like tickling but quite many who like Tickling dont like BDSM

it is kinda of like a double standard of whats good for one is not good for the other. the term BDSM may open up to Tickling but Tickling alone in its general context doesnt open up to BDSM.

in my opinion BDSM is insulting to tickling because many that linked to BDSM declared Tickling as gay which its not true as only a very few people on this forum are even gay.

i would say NO. Tickling does NOT = BDSM in any way shape or form or it shouldnt be for that matter and neither vice-versa

There are friends in the BDSM world who find tickling to be PAINFUL.

I know folks who can be beaten with canes who would be bothered to an extreme by tickling.

We also all know folks who find BOTH kinks offensive.

Best not to judge others as wrong when they can be see as different. Many people here participate in BDSM play, just as many are into F/m tickling, nylon'd tickling, etc.

I have a feeling I might take slight offense to this statement, had it actually been written coherently.

That's why the whole of the thought is still present. Remove the problem, and the thought's coherent and contributes another perspective, one we all need to consider - within this interest, there are various other interests, including the desire to exclude all but this interest.

Vanilla folks have a sect that wants only vanilla. Everyone has their perspective.

No idea about the "community" as a whole but I enjoy torturing my man with tickles.

BDSM=people who like to beat up, torment and humiliate other people or be such victim hence SadoMasochism

Tickling=people who like to tickle other people or be tickled by other people - plain and simple.

Apparently you have never experienced the consensual power exchange in BDSM in which both parties have fun with mutual respect. It can be that way.

 

[drew70]

I personally don't see the two as anything close to one another. The biggest difference that I can see is that those into tickling don't pretend like it's any great mystery. They either like to tickle, or be tickled. Many into BDSM will take great strides in making it seem inscrutable to those who regard it with distaste. I seem to recall a thread or two in which this was demonstrated quite clearly.

This is a topic that has no correct answer, it depends on who you are. Those of us who enjoy BDSM (and know that it's not about pain or what you're wearing, lol ) consider tickling to be very much a part of it, under the very vast umbrella of sensation play. BDSM stands for Bondage/Discipline, Dominance/Submission, and Sadism/Masochism. To be blunt, if you enjoy someone being restrained and tickled it can be just as much a part of BDSM as if you preferred the person be spanked or flogged. That doesn't mean that tickling enthusiasts are automatically BDSM enthusiasts, but tickling is very much a part of the BDSM culture and it's being more accepted all the time, hence the inclusion of excellent tickling workshops and literature in many BDSM gatherings and conventions these days .

You annoy me with your ignorance.

BDSM is not about pain. Many people who practice BDSM rarely, if ever, involve pain at all.

In fact, in my latest video with Tasha, there were certain BDSM elements as I was tickling her...I leaned in close and said, "Are you my little toy?" She said, "Yes." I said, "You say Yes Sir." And she did as she was told.

Spanking and other forms of pain are often used as punishment, but one of the ladies I play with right now absolutely LOVES to have her ass swatted. I mean, LOVES it. So before you go bad mouthing BDSM, keep in mind that many people enjoy it. If you badmouth BDSM, you're no better than vanilla folk who say "EWWW TICKLING?! OMFG THAT'S SICK!"

Tickling=people who like to tickle other people or be tickled by other people - plain and simple.

Tickling+BDSM= People who like to be tormented or torment others, through the act of tickling thus making it a form of SadoMasochism. Anything that stimulates someone could be considered S&M. I could use a vibrator on a woman's sweet spot, and she could be enjoying it, but if I repeatedly pull it away before she can climax that could be considered BDSM. I don't have to put a mark on her, just tie her up and teas her ruthlessly, and it is S&M. So if I tied up someone and tickled them, and had them screaming for mercy until they were in tears or even peed themselves that would be S&M or even abuse in some peoples eyes (including my own as far as the crying goes, don't dig on the crying in real life).

I always though BDSM stood for Bondage/Disaplin-SatoMasacism.

Wow!

Wow your extremely close minded and obviously have no idea what your talking about!

That is what it stands for. I like tickling and I like getting spanked but I have rules. I dont want marks and Ive never been spanked to the point of tears. Tickle torture can be the only form of torment I recieve during a session. One time I almost passed out. Its a mind control thing too. After that tickling session I was like an obedient lapdog and wanted to do anything he wanted me to do. I enjoyed the hell out of it and the way it made me feel.

 

[SlaverTickler]

Good on you Anna

Thats great Anna, I'm glad you had a good time.

You enjoy what you're doing and thats the main thing.
Tickling means different things to different people. Glad you enjoy yours!!! 😀

and how was i being ignorant?? all i did was put it out in black and white dictionary definition denotation. even if i was being blunt, i didnt denote BDSM as a bad thing. but BDSM although it may nowadays begin to embrace tickling in it. its still not a solid association or even impression between the two. and to be honest, i hope it doesnt. its kind of like oh yeah declare tickling as a fetish and people find it sexual so now it is linked to porn and is taboo in mainstream and nowadays you dont see it if rarely...go figure. imagine how bad it is when its down to the line with BDSM or something else that looks bad in the public eye of mainstream.
