Tickling with a lover or a friend - which is better?

Which best fulfills your tickling needs, a lover or a friend? Lovers can come and go (in more ways than one) and even at the marriage level, it's a 50-50 chance of working out. But with a friend, the emotional attachment and expectations are not as great, which decreases your chance of losing someone who satisfies you, tickle-wise.

When I was dating my wife, I tickled her often enough and while I knew she was not the type I could tie up, the tickling was at least satisfactory. But starting with - I kid you not - our wedding night, she would just get :flatstare: mad when I tickled her.

The past six years I've indulged in tickle-for-pay encounters (mostly dominatrices who switch or submit) and also tickled two fabulous women I met through this great web site. These days money problems make the former difficult. As for the latter, while I thought I was respecting their limits my tickling style was too pushy for the tastes of those two girls; one blew me off after our sole play date and the other stopped answering my calls after six sessions.

I'm thinking a platonic friend/tickle buddy is the better way to go. While I'd still want the woman I tickle to be attractive, knowing the complications of a sexual relationship isn't going to affect my tickle action would be a fair compromise.

If you've had both, what's worked better for you? And if you've had only one or maybe none, which do you imagine would be your choice, the lover with whom you tickle or the platonic opposite-sex tickle buddy?
 
I've had better luck with friends, most of my girlfriends hated it and would only let me get them longer than 5 minutes once or twice. With friends, I can just grab an ankle and go at it for a pretty decent while with them not really being too bothered by it .The ones I do tickle know to the extent I like it, so it's not like I'm getting my rocks off on unsuspecting women I know.

Maybe significant others see tickling as more flirting when they think it's about time to get started on the main event?
 
I think which is better will largely depend on what a given person wants out of the tickling.

For me personally, the relationship between me and my ler(s) is what I look for. It's more about sharing a friendly intimacy rather than necessarily a sexual intimacy. So, the closeness that already exists between friends just sweetens it for me.
 
Tickling is a fetish....hence it turns you on. I don't want my friends to know I'm turned on or even get turned on by tickling a "FRIEND"......

so I'd pick a casual encouncer.. or a "lover".
 
Id just mainly stick with a lover or the closest person to that kind of relationship. If you knew my friends, you would know why i wouldnt involve them.
 
I would prefer a lover relationship.

While I understand there is fun tickling with your friends, in terms of long term tickling I would want to share it with someone in a personal manner. Tickling isn't always a platonic thing to me.
 
All other things being equal, which honestly they hardly ever are, I prefer a lover.
 
Tickling a lover. I couldn't allow myself to enjoy tickling in that kind of way with a friend because I'd end up developing feelings for them and then that just ends in heartache. :dropatear

Tickling a friend would be tickling platonically. It would be just like when I tickle my little nephew. It's just fun and isn't sexual or romantic at all. So in order for me to enjoy my fetish it would have to be with someone that I had a romantic connection with. Enjoying my fetish with someone who was just a friend and who I had no intentions of going out with would be just like a friend with benefits kind of deal. And I don't do that.
 
They have 2 different feelings ya know....tickling or being tickled a lover can get way more than fun, even a sexual level. With friends it can be STRICTLY all in fun not that tickling with a lover or partner can't be fun
 
Merr.. What if there's no difference between lover and friend? Meaning, what if someone has a lover who is also their friend?
 
Well if they're lovers but not friends then it's not going to last very long.

Right!

hair-splitting aside, I would prefer a lover than just a friend unless both could exercise extreme self control. There are one or two lasses I just don't tickle simply because I know where it would lead.
 
Thanks to all who replied so far

It seems to be a landslide election in favor of tickling with a lover. But I still welcome the thoughts of anyone who cares to contribute.

I guess I chose the tickle buddy scenario because while everyone has a sex drive, not everyone is a tickling enthusiast, and I like to stick with winners. The two T.M.F. women I tickled were not looking for the tickle play to lead to sex, at least not with 🙁 me. But I welcome such limits, as no chance of intercourse increases the chance of the tickling arrangement lasting. Hell, plenty of girls have sent me away with a pitched tent in my pants, but had I gotten to at least tickle them I would not have minded so much!
 
Since tickling is sexual for me, I wouldn't want t friend to tickle me. It would have to be a lover!
 
Rhiannon, it appeals to me two ways!

Rhiannon, tickling turns me on, too, don't get me wrong. I still remember the one-tree petrified forest I got the first time I tickled a cute girl as an adolescent.

But while my perfect world would have my ticklee be my lover, tickling for tickling's sake appeals immensely to me. A platonic tickle buddy on the side would satisfy me just fine.
 
I don't have to have sex before, during, or after tickling. I just don't want to do anything with a friend that turns me on, period. 🙂

I don't necessarily have to have sex with my ler, but I must want him to be a potential sex partner. If I don't feel for him that way, I couldn't bear being touched, it would feel like sexual harrassment to me.
 
Tickling is a fetish....hence it turns you on. I don't want my friends to know I'm turned on or even get turned on by tickling a "FRIEND"......

so I'd pick a casual encouncer.. or a "lover".

I would have to agree with this. Tickling for us is a turn on. Hence the term, "Fetish"

So why wouldn't a lover be better than a friend. Yea sure you can tickle them and get your tickling hunger satisfied, but then what? Go home to your computer?

Or if you are in a relationship you know you will be thinking about that tickle session while with that person.
 
Well said, Rhiannon

Rhiannon, substitute "lee" for "ler" and "her" for "him" in your phrase "I don't necessarily have to have sex with my ler, but I must want him to be a potential sex partner" and you summarize my feelings about tickle buddies. The girls I tickle don't have to have sex with me, but I still want them to appeal to me.

So much the better! Ideally that's the case with a SO or spouse. Then, you have the best of both worlds!
 
Wow, Em Es, we share an opinion for once! 🙂 We should have a drink together to celebrate that! :triangle:
 
About meeting for that drink, Rhiannon

:bubbly: Is Germany near New Jersey?
