Tickling Imperfect Feet

[The_Laugher]

I just ran accross an old friend from High School this weekend, and it's been 30 years nowsince we have seen each other. Yet she recognized me and came over and said Hi. We chatted a bit and she told me that she alwasy loved that I would tickle her feet. It made her feel good and she missed it. We each didn't have much time so we exchanged our phone numbers and went our ways.

The reason I bring this up is because she has what most lpeople would consider an ugly foot. Two of the toes on her foot were fused together in the developement stages and she was born like that. There is a long name for it but I do not know what it is. Anyway, as a kid she was teased horribly. I seemed to be the only person who didn't tease her and we became friends. One day I asked her if the foot was ticklish and she said, "I don't know. Give it a try", and with that she put her foot in my lap and I did a little tickle. She jump right out of her skin and giggled. I said, "Guess it is", and to my suprise, she said. "Tickle more. Tickle a lot". So I tickled her for what seemed like an eternity. We continued tickling each other throughout our high school years and then when we graduated, she had to move away to England. It was the last time I saw her until this weekend.

Now after all that, my question is:

Would you tickle a persons foot, that had this condition or maybe a toe or two or maybe all toes missing?

Hi Laugher,

I would not seek out feet like this, but if a ticklish friend had some kind of imperfection, I would NOT let it stop me from tickling their feet 🙂

The time has come

I find this to be a most fascinating post.

The condition Laugher refers to is called syndactyly. It is when either fingers or toes fail to separate into their individual appendages, and are therefore fused or "webbed" together. How do I know?

I have it.

I was born with syndactyly of both my hands and feet. It is a hereditary genetic defect. My middle and ring fingers were fused together, and the first three toes of my feet are as well. Now, my fingers were separated as an infant, leaving some pretty neat scars but no other complications. My feet are a different story.

My father was given the option of having his toes separated and chose to do so. This gave him 5 individual toes but also widened his feet to the point where most of his shoes resemble kidney beans.

My parents gave me the same option my father was given, but after seeing the trials my father has gone through in terms of finding shoes that are comfortable, I chose to keep my toes fused together, as I can find shoes with only moderate difficulty.

So, I find this post naturally interesting, as I do enjoy having my feet tickled, but have the same complication Laugher refers to.

As a tickler, I would not have any problems tickling feet that were "different" than others, for obvious reasons (Pot calling kettle black).

Yet I find myself nervous about having my feet tickled, as I do not want anyone to freak out over it. (Note: I am generally nervous about my feet anyway; having never owned a pair of sandals nor ever going barefoot around people unless I have known them for a while.)

So, I am curious to see what the general consensus is. I understand if people would have some trepidation about it; it certainly takes some getting used to.

And that was a far more personal confession than I ever thought Id post on here. However, I feel it provides a different perspective on this issue.

In absolutely no way would any abnormalities of a persons foot (or ANY body part, for that matter) stop me from wanting to or attempting to tickle them. As long as it is not a physical form of disability that leaves them in pain, or would cause them pain if I tried to tickle or play with them, then nothing would stand in the way.

No one is perfect. Not even close. So what if one persons imperfections are a little more physically obvious than anothers? They're still the same incredible person....

.....and I'd still happily torment them with glee.

I once had a female friend with extremely large feet. She was extremely ticklish. Her soles weren't very soft, but I could make her laugh and wiggle like crazy. She enjoyed letting me play with her feet.

I don't have any structural imperfection, but I do have cerebral palsy, and I can back up what ali32 said. She went right after my feet. 🙂

 

[Iluv2Btickled]

I'm gonna be totally honest. Tickling imperfect feet would not bother me. I will tho be very curious to how they got that way and if there was some kind of cure or whatever.

I could turn it into a game. 😉 Tickle the person feet and make them answer any questions I may have while I'm tickling. Cruel huh?

 

[maniactickler]

Ugly feet do deter from the enjoyment of tickling. but id do it as a one time thing.

 

[kis123]

I'm with Mimi on this one! Besides, if they're ticklish, that's good enough for me! I'm really not a foot person, but I know most people are so I'll do whatever makes my victim....uh...I mean ler happy! 😉

I'm an equal opportunity tickler-and that includes the Americans with Disabilities act!!!!

 

[dtrell]

im a foot person...if i dont like the looks of the lees feet, i wont enjoy it. plain and simple.

 

[ticklkitten]

I'm not a foot person persay... I'm just strictly a "tickle person". So, if the feet weren't perfect (but good hygeine is a MUST) but were very ticklish... it would be hard to keep me away!

 

[TheFactor]

I have a very good friend who has two pinky fingers on one hand, and I didn't know it until someone mentioned it. I think imperfections on a human are a problem, when someone makes it a problem. I would tickle a foot even if all the toes were fused together, but to say you wouldn't tickle a foot that is offered to you simply because it's deformed is pretty shallow, it think.

 

[Avenger314]

I'm a foot person. I won't tickle an imperfect foot. However, I'm not much of a discriminating foot fetishist. The only 'imperfect' feet are those that aren't ticklish. =). Anything else, bring it on.

I'm primarily a foot-tickler. I'd tickle her and if she liked it I'd tickle her every day.

In fact, if Mimi will grab one foot I'll take the other!

 

[JBgood]

I agree with the majority of the folks here in that as long as they were clean and she enjoyed having them tickled, any differences wouldn't even be an issue.

If someone with foot problems wanted to have me tickle their feet, I would gladly do it. As far as I'm concerned, they deserve a some extra tickling attention.

 

[Oddjob0226]

I don't think I could do it, just because there is something visual to it for me as a 'ler - the squirming of the foot, the "personality" it has..... it's not a judgement of the value of the person, it's just, I don't know.... the limit to my aesthetic boundry or comfor zone (?) Some people have their limits or zones hardwired to be broader.

However, if anyone else gets into it, let them have their fun, by all means.

 

[ViperGTS]

For once, I am 100% on Oddjob's side here. There is defenitely a visual element to it.

 

[ticklishbbw]

I'm mostly a 'lee, but on those rare ocassions that I switch, I'm primarily a foot tickler. In my opinion, there is a difference between deformed feet and ugly feet. Ugly feet in my opinion are feet that are not cared for--calloused, dirty, etc. These I would not touch. If someone had a defect or deformity as described here, I wouldn't have a problem with it. It would just be a different kind of tickling experience.

Amen, Mimi! That's a big 10-4, good buddy!

 

[Iggy pop]

When it comes to feet, this is what I care about. Are they ticklish? Are they clean? Who do the feet belong to? I love tickling feet, but I have no other foot fetish elements such as foot sniffing, foot worshiping, foot licking, etc.

 

[natural tickler]

I agree, it shouldn't matter what the foot looked like, as long as its cared for. I mean only people who are vain care about the looks. I thought the creed was 'as long as the person is ticklish, what's the problem?' It seems to me some of you forgot where ya came from.


One other point: who said there is such a thing as a perfect foot??

Good Point.

 

[natural tickler]

Thanx Iggy, it just seems to me people are too much into looks, deviating from what brought them to the dance, sort of speak. People seem to be too superficial

 

[maniactickler]

Everyone is vain to some point. its just natural instinct.
