tickling - interest since childhood or not till adulthood?

Re: U.N. Owen

After this one it's going to be 29 forever! 😀

Mags,
Don't despair! I just turned 30 and let me tell ya...ticklin' is better than ever!
😉

For me, the whole idea of tickling being something monumental seems off the wall. I'd always worked with the assumption that everyone liked it as much as me. THEN one day someone pointed out the "tickle stuff" online. It was then that I realized, "WOW, I'm not in the norm! " LOL

Being the youngest of four kids, I had my fair share of tickling growing up and it was always natural and so much fun! The older I got, the more fun it was with boyfriends! Scrummy~!

I CAN say however, that there is an aspect that only became strong in the last couple of years, and THAT is being the 'LER!!! MMMMMMMMMMmmm it fits so well with the rest of my personality. IF I'm not careful, I may lose me 'Lee status. 😉 Perhaps it's the confidence women get when they get older, a natural progression of sorts. Whatever it is, I LIKE IT! It's been like rediscovering tickling! It relly is a different game when you're the one tying the knots!

MUST share - - even if in a few years, my niece finds this and kills me!! 🙂 I was visiting at my mothers house a couple of days ago with my niece. She's 14 going on 25, you know the ype. 😉 Well she just walked right over to my mom (her grandmother) lifted up her t shirt and blew a raspberry on her tummy!! My mother collapsed laughing on the couch and my niece dusted her hands together, looked at me with a grin and said, "It works everytime." To which, I poked her a few times to put her in her place....lol. A tickler in the making? Proof that it's genetic? *I already know almost every member of my family is a tickle freak..lol* I wonder if that will be one of her "first memories of "'Ler-hood". 😛

Joby...thinking this thread goes mighty fine with the one Biscuit has going in the stories section about Early Tickling Experiences. It's cool if you haven't read it, you might want to!

Raul, being a tickler was tough 1976-1983, huh? I got news for ya - it wasn't any easier 1983-1990!!! Yes, back in those thrilling days of yesteryear, "lurking" was something done in scary adult bookstores, hoping against hope to find something with tickling, to find out that you weren't the only one... now the lucky young whipper-snappers only have to dial up tickling on this new-fangled "internet!"

In case anyone's doing the math, I'm 33 now -- yes, I mostly just sit out on the front porch in my rocker, sipping good old-fashioned lemonade -- but to answer the question, I remember fantasizing about tickling the girls in my 3rd grade class, and knowing that it held a special excitement for me! Fortunately, I was a well-behaved child and didn't actually do it.

Much worse now, though.

[siamese dream]

lol, I recall one of the first things I ever came across which associated tickling and sex... It was an article in "Sassy" magazine (back when it was cool, and all about alterna rock grrls my age). It was in one of those advice columns, a girl had written something like "My boyfriend holds his arms above his head and asks me to tickle him under his arms. He gets really turned on when I do it. What does this mean?????" -- Confused 😀 The reply was like "Well, it's weird that someone gets turned on by tickling, but it sounds like it's the case with this guy. If you don't feel comfortable tickling him then you should tell him yadda yadda"...

I was like... 😱....they said it was WEIRD!!! I must be a freak!!!!

lol, I was probably 15 at the time.

 

[TklrJoe]

siamese, with bad advice like that, no wonder Sassy isn't cool any more! 😉

Like many of you, I became interested in tickling as a child (at about 3 or 4 years of age - and I blame my mom for it all!) It was about that time, too, that I knew it interested me in a "different" way than it might affect most people - I guess that's why I can remember it from so far back; it qaffected me....

And, like a few of you, I too became uncomfortable when tickling was brought up or mentioned. It was if a dark secret was being exposed. Even today, only 2 of my "regular" friends know about it.

Even though I got tickled as a kid, I grew into strictly a tickler. However, I have now changed into someome who enjoyes and craves both giving and recieving. Can't explain that.

 

[Strelnikov]

Here's the link to the thread Joby mentioned:
http://www.ticklingforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2745

I started early too. I'm on the downhill side of 50. When I was a kid, tickling was considered weird even by porn standards. The only "media" available to me was try to catch a rerun of "North to Alaska" or "Houdini" on TV (three channels only - dinosaurs roamed the earth.) Videotape was something TV stations used, and computers were huge stand-alone main frames. You young whippersnappers are complaining about how tough things were in 1980...BAH!

[siamese dream]

it's really interesting to see that almost everyone who replied has had a similar tickling coming-of-age story.
I'm really glad we have the internet now, it's exposed me to a lot of information that might not have been avaliable to me otherwise. Tickling stuff being one of them...

It's almost spooky how close what some of you have said is to me, like remembering all the tickling scenes in cartoons as a child, feeling "funny" watching someone get tickled, or getting tickled...makes me wonder how and why we all ended up 'wired' like this I guess...

it seems God has dispersed us widely though, on tickling websites I see a lot of "any ticklers in pennsylvania", "any ticklers in california", "any ticklers in the U.K.", "any ticklers in Australia", any ticklers in friggin' Luxembourg lol...

 

[Tickler_Guy1]

I have been into tickling since at about the age of 5 when I found out what kind of results I could get when I lightly stoked a peer on his/her ribs, sides, or underarms. I found that by tickling a tummy it twitched in a funny way, whereas, the other places just caused the entire body to squirm. When I would tickle others they always seemed to want to "get me back" so they would tickle me, unfortunately, there was never a response. I grew up being non-ticklish. I was always told, "Oh, you're no fun".
When I reached puberty I still had no idea what it was like to be ticklish. The girls (now young women) were still ticklish and that sexually excited me. I asked doctors, my parents and many others how I could become ticklish if just to really experience it just once only to end up still being told, "Oh, you're no fun". About 2 months ago I found a specialist in the area of neurology who has isolated an area in the brain where the ticklish response takes place (or in my case failed to take place). He knows of a drug that causes non-ticklish people to not only become ticklish but to become MAJORLY TICKLISH (as in super sensitive to tickling, or some may say hyper-ticklish)! Well, to make a long (non-fiction, or true) story short. I will get this drug tomorrow, July 5, for the first time and should be able to finally "experience" what it's like being ticklish.
I'm told the drug has only one side effect and that is making the recipient extremely vulnerable to ticklishness! I am excited but at the same time scared of the unknown. I am also told that I should be able to get off the anti-depressant I've been on for 10 years since laughter and depression don't mix.
I guess I will finally be sharing some of my experiences after tomorrow!
I am 46 years old, male, and will find out tomorrow for the first time in my life what being ticklish feels like...eek!

 

[sphynx1]

I was exactly the same. At 5 or 6, I started loving to see someone gets tickled. Seeing any kind of tickle action got me very excited and nervouse. It started with no sexual intention whatsoever, as I got older, tickling became more and more of a sexual turn-on.

To Strelnikov...

If only I had had you as a mentor.😎

[Strelnikov]

To Raul...

Yah, I wish I'd had a mentor too, when I was a socially awkward adolescent geek with a "weird" interest in tickling. Unfortunately, that wasn't an option at the time. Most of us older folk thought for years that we were all alone in this interest. Wasn't till internet access became common that we learned otherwise. Hopefully, our younger members (having found this place) won't have to go through those feelings of being a freak that I remember so well.

[Raul]

Amen, brother.

Raul🙂

 

[TklrJoe]

Amen, Raul and Strelnikov. What a time to be alive!

Tickler_Guy1, that is one crazy story, I've never heard of anything like that before! Let us know what happens, right?

siamese, yeah, we're all over the place, that's for sure. Can you imagine a big get-together with ALL of us, from all corners of the world? Thousands of tickle-people coming together... that would be mind-blowing... maybe in the year 2525...

 

[U.N.Owen]

Sorry, but I'm booked right through 2618.

For as long as I can remember


Seems for as long as I can remember, the sight and or sounds of the opposite sex being tickled has been a tremendous sexual turn-on for me. I didn't understand why as a child, yet I never gave it a thought whether it was wierd or not.
One of my favorite mainstream movie scenes is the Imperial brothel in the movie Caligula. If you listen carefully, you can hear the sounds of female ticklish laughter in the background.
Back in the late 80's I hit the jackpot upon discovering a magazine called Tied And Tickled. The cover had a beautiful nude woman tied in a chair, laughting hysterically while another beautiful nude woman ran a long red feather all over her naked body. I thought my dick was going to explode. Did I buy it? You bet'cha! And every other issue I could get my hands on, providing many hours of fantasy fun. Those were the good old days for me.
One of the first things I did when I finally got my first decent computer in 98 was type in the word tickling in one of the search engines. I found out the possibilities were infinite. I soon after discovered the Magic Touch website, along with a few others. Today I support 4 different tickling paysites and am proud to be a new member of this forum. To quote a line from "The Lazy Man's Guide To Enlightenment" : "Thank you, my brothers and sisters, for letting me be in this space."

 

[Oddjob0226]

I was wondering about that drug, Tickle Guy - does it have any medical use other than causing "ticklishness"? Not sure why such a drug would be invented.......

 

[tklr5150]

Hmm . . if only I could get my hands on that drug and get it into my un-ticklish friends' drinks . . . . hee hee hee

J/k of course. Cool idea though. Finally, science serving the common man.

 

[Tickler_Guy1]

Ticklish Drug?

Well, many of you want to know what's going on with me and asking the question, "Are you ticklish now?". Well, the so-called "Ticklish Drug" is basically to inhance the chemical reactions in the brain so that depressed people can get off Prozac or another anti-depressant and not be depressed. The side effect is that it's supposed to cause chemical reactions so that ticklishness is greatly inhanced or for the non-ticklish (like me) makes them hyper-ticklish.
I can tell you that I feel much better and am no longer depressed. The down side is that my anti-depressant must be quit slowly so I have to decrease it gradually for about 3 months before I'm finally off it.
Now the part you've all been waiting for! Am I ticklish? When I was lying in bed two nights after the procedure with my hands clasped behind my head I had my favorite woman try to tickle my underarms. I have never felt the electricity that I felt then. It was as if I was wired with megavolts! It was the strangest thing I've ever felt in my life! I pulled my arms down to stop the supercharge overload under my arms. Another strange thing was even though it was powerful and my involunary reaction was to stop the feeling I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it so much I immediately got sexually turned-on. At the same time my verbal reaction was that of a loud scream (more of a laughing scream).
This woman whom I have tickle tortured for 13 years was more elated than I was. For that time I would tickle her crazy and she could never get me back. I saw in her eyes all the possibilities and I began to fear the worst (actually, the best)! We didn't get much sleep that night. She used all my tools; the straps, the feathers, the plastic forks, etc. I was tied spread-eagle for what seemed like 6 hours, in reality it was 30 minutes. She checked all nooks and crannies of my "finally vulnerable" body and found the ticklish spots. She was glad to find most of my upper body to be ticklish. She was unable to get reaction from my legs, knees, or feet. After I was completely exhausted she untied me. I of course returned the favor by tickling her. She is now the less ticklish of the two of us. She is only very ticklish, I'm extremely ticklish!
I asked the doctor why the limited ticklish only on the upper body. He said that's the way my body is wired.
I am more alive than I've ever been and can't wait to be tickled again tonight!

It's great to be ticklish!!!!

 

[Deleted member 2452]

tickler_guy1. what is the name of this drug???

i need to know. not for the tickling side affect, but for it's main purpose of replacing anti-depresants.
i have a child, and a sibling who are both on anti-depresants. this drug sounds great. to be able to look at my daughter again, and not see the pain, and lonliness, would be a god send.
please, tell me the name, here, or via email. [email protected]

In my case, it happened just the same. Few harmless cartoons, few tickling scenes in the books - and when reading/looking them, in my very early ages (4-6), I felt myself strangely aroused. I don't remember when and why I believed the tickling was weird, I never discussed it with anyone. But I tried hard to hide it...
And nevertheless - I didn't tie tickling and sex until maybe 15. In early ages, I never played with girls and even avoided them - as many of you, I think 🙂. So, my tickling fantasies were bound only with boys, until late teens. And only THEN, when I used to think that tickling girls is much more fun... but even then I continued thinking it's a form of distorted sadizm. 🙂 Honesty, even now I can't truly believe there are lees, who really love it.


But... I'm really worried 🙁. Reading this, noting that everyone here is in it from childhood... Is there any chance to invite somebody into tickling, if they are... um, adult, but really new to it?

 

[venray]

Is there any chance to invite somebody into tickling, if they are... um, adult, but really new to it?

YES!..Just ask my wife, venraya..she was not into tickling at all until I "introduced" her to it. Now...just try and stop her!

I had a fascination with tickling from my earliest memories. I remember ticking our older next door neighbor kids (high school age - 2 girls one boy)when I was two or three years old! I know for sure it's that early because we moved from there when I was three. I remember having a fantasy about seeing them trapped like under a bed with their feet sticking out and getting ticked. A fantasy like that at three? I did not remember this until reading this post jogged my memory.

And yes, it is indeed possible for someone not previously interested in tickling to become hooked on it. My wife had never considered it pleasureable until I told her of my fetish while we were dating. She came(hehe) around very quickly, and now can get an orgasm just from being tickled.

 

[Deleted member 2452]

getting an adult into tickling

i've been lucky in that i have done this twice!
i introduced my wife into the world of tickling, and she took to it like a duck to water. she's not a tickphile, but what and enabler!
about a year and a half ago we were seperated. both of us dated. i met a lady who had never engaged in tickling, and she was 40 years old. her ex husband hated tickling and would never do it, so she never got to play. till she met me, that is. she is a tickphile now! she admitted that she always wondered about tickling, and it's sexual side. it was like taking a kid to the candy store for the first time, lol. she moved away, and i took my wife back.

[silkytickles]

i had was when a lady who worked with my mother watched me one day.
they were both secretaries for alderman tom kean in chicago. how that lady was off, and my mom worked i never figured out, lol.
she wore a tight blouse, knee length tight skirt, nylons, and high heels as was the style in the early 60's. i remember it was lunch time and i'd just finished eating, she was still nibbling her soup, and sandwich. i went under the kitchen table and there were her long legs crossed, and one shoe dangling. even then i was like 6, i knew this lady had gorgous legs! anyway, i slipped off her shoe, and held her ankle, and tickled her sole to beat the band. she laughed like mad! but did do anything to get away. i remember thinking how great it was that she wasn't getting mad. i kept it up for several minutes. but alas, when i tried to switch feet, thats when she stood up and said enough for now. she said we could do more next time. BUT THERE NEVER WAS A NEXT TIME! what a rip off! lol

I'm not sure how old this post is, but I found this one and had to mention that I had a very similar experience when I was that age that burned into my memory and helped to shape my fetish. Our next door neighbor, Mrs. Waters, a very pretty lady, came over to watch me while my mom was working late one evening. She her self had come from work early to watch me. She was similarly dressed in a professional outfit, nylon heels and the works. In this case she was sitting on the couch reading a magazine with her legs crossed. Her shoe was dangling down off of her toes. I walked in from the other room when I noticed this and I immediately plopped down right in front of her knowing exactly what I was going to do. She looked down at me and asked if I wanted to play. I reached up and quickly tickled the exposed part of her nylon foot. She laughed as I did this for few minutes until she asked me (this was the best part) if I wanted to tickle her other foot too. She slipped off both of her shoes and streched out her feet with her sole up allowing me tickle both of her feet. At the beginning I was very shy, but even then I knew this was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. So many years later I don't really know how long I tickled both of her feet, but I do remember that she just laughed and smiled all the while and would make a playful comment every once in awhile like "my toes are ticklish!" "No, no, not there! anywhere but there!"
We were finally interrupted when my mom walked in the front door. When my mom asked what we were up to all night Mrs Waters winked at me and said "We were having fun getting my feet tickled!" I was so embarrassed.

Mrs. Waters came over three more times after that and all three times I tickled her feet, but never as much as on that visit.
