tickling - interest since childhood or not till adulthood?

[Mitchell]

I started reading about tickling in magazines in my teens, which was the seed of my interest. It wasn't until I started writing to my pen pal Don, when I was 27, that I realized tickling was a fetish for me, and how strong my interest really was.

Since childhood. 😉

 

[gilmourwaters]

definitely since i was small..around 5 or 6.I was a tickling fool back then and LOVED being tickled back.Sometimes putting myself in situations that i thought would definitely get tickled.I even had dreams regularly of "tickle monsters" attacking me at nite in bed......also my nylon foot fetish was strong at the same age

I was very young. I always thought I was a freak. When I got to be in my teens, I realized it was just who I was.

Talk about reviving a dead thread.

As for myself, I remember getting those funny feelings when I saw tickling when I was about 7 or 8 years old, but never gave it a second thought until I was 14 and started searching for tickling on the internet. 🙂

My strongest memory was watching my second grade teacher getting her feet gang tickled by two other students who draped under her desk during break. I was on the far side of the room as I watched them pull off her sandals and play with her feet. I remember for the first time feeling envious but not knowing why. I was too afraid to do anything.

I really didn't get into tickling until I was about 21 although I have been into feet since second grade. Who knows why but I typed tickling into the search engine one day and I was hooked. 😀

I also became interested in early childhood, but remained conflicted for decades because it was more torture for me then, and I could see the adult males tickling me were having too good a time at my expense. It planted the seed, though. I am also one of the mature ones around here, and wonder how many remember that old Popular Mechanics article about tickling? I also found some story to the editor in a skin mag of some sort, but the guy in the letter had brought his neighbor lady up to his room and tied her up and tickled her armpits unmercifully. I kept that hidden in my room forever! How about that Laurel and Hardy scene when the glamorous lady with the long finger nails closed the door and went after Stan Laurel to tickle something out of him? My siblings and I were pretty little at the time, and I remember laying on the floor watching that one, sneaking glances back at our parents to see their reaction. Boy, where did all these years go?

I knew tickling was different for me from a very young age, I would say at least five years old. I became continually more fascinated by it until I hit puberty
but was always extremely shy about it. I remember looking up the definition for tickling and all its synonyms about a billion times in the dictionary and just hearing the word used in a sentence would get me all flushed and nervous.
The similarities among many of our stories abound.

I had no interest until I was about 18 and I happened to run across the Magic Touch website.

Definitely since childhood. 😀

Amen to that!

I was around 4 years old when I discovered that tickling others was very interesting! I was quite young when I started having fantasies about tickling teen girls, especially on their feet!

 

[playgirl]

when i first experienced tickling by someone with a tickling fetish about a year ago, i told him that i probably hadn't been tickled since college and hadn't really thought of tickling as something sexual. months later, i ran across an old email from someone i went out with for a bit in late 2007/early 2008 that talked about us tickling each other during sex. i still don't remember the tickling even though the email has me describing how much i enjoyed it. it must have only been a small part of our experience. but once i experienced tickling by a real ler, i was hooked!

 

[BlackestLily]

I know it's been an interest since I've had memory...soooo yeah it goes back pretty far. 🙂

*I already know almost every member of my family is a tickle freak..lol*

Too bad I didn't live in your neighborhood when I was younger (even though I lived in the same state, I think).

I'm running a poll on what age you first remember being intrigued by tickling here: http://www.ticklingforum.com/showthread.php?t=174575

For me it was kindergarten, so I must have been 4 or 5 years old...

THANK YOU SILKYTICKLES......................

for reviving this thread. The interest started with me at a very young age.

I can remember getting caught looking at my first grade teachers dangling shoe. She placed the shoe back on her foot, and gave me a big smile.

The numbers on the poll so far are interesting: http://www.ticklingforum.com/showthread.php?t=174575 (What's the earliest age you remember being intrigued by tickling?)

My first recollection was tickling my sister's feet, being the mean little brother i was lol. that was strictly for payback and torment. Yes that is interesting how we all came about it the same way and have those tv clips we remember! Mine was April O-Neil's feet being tickled with a feather on teenage mutant ninja turtles. It was funny seeing that clip on the internet later on! I remember being intrigued by it back then.

I knew of my foot fetish (females only) as early as 10, and treasured every moment because this was before flip flops got real big. The realization of tickling being arousing to me came when i was 13 at a birthday part. A bunch of us were on a trampoline.This one smoking hot girl was instigating a wrestling match with me. She got me in a bearhug from behind. I reached down and pulled her legs from under her, and she fell i fell too to where I was straddling her ankles. It came to me to tickle her feet, as this wouldve been for torment and to win the match though. However, the ensuing hysterical laughter changed it for me forever! I got many of the girls in my class good, but that first time might still be the best one ever!

Childhood. I used to tickle the neighbor girls and the girls at school. Then they'd gang up on me which was cool, too.

Siamese Dream

Siamese Dream, i'd say your experience is similar to mine. Tickling always aroused me, even when i was too young to know what arousal was. It made me feel strange and it was scary, but i always enjoyed thinking about it even though i didn't want to openly acknowledge it. i never thought i would really get to participate in it in a way that would be satisfying. But when i was in college, my gf started to tickle me. At first, i was too scared to admit that it turned me on, but later i did and was unbelievably fun!

Isn't it nice to be able to talk about it now? 🙂

GREAT QUESTION!

This a great question for a discussion. For me I can remember as far back as grade school, the first time I saw my teachers dangle their shoe off their sexy foot. I would fantasize her getting tied up & foot tickle by the other female teachers. Then in high school still had the same thoughts about my teachers but the girls in my class we're starting to mature & get hot also.

Thank you,
