Umm.. Lers?

[alchemy]

Hard to explain, really...

I don't know, it's simply the greatest thing ever. It kinda IS about the other person's laugh. A sexy laugh is a huge turn-on. Besides that, ...not sure...something in the genes or brain that equates tickling a girl to death with sexual arousal.
Also, I'm a Ler partly from necessity. My body is odd in that places where most people are ticklish, are nothing but erogenous zone for me. So, I'll get a bit turned on, but that's about it.

That's MY take on it, anyway

Thanks for all the responses, folks. Appreciate it.

However, it does, indeed sound like control does play a big aspect in Lering.

I understand the need to have it at base level for the safety of your Lee..

But it's kind of cool hearing you all describe your different mentalities.

You'd be correct. Yeah, control does play an aspect, yet I always respect the limts and overall safety of a 'lee. If it gets to a point where the 'lee is no longer enjoying herself, then it's no fun for me either. In fact, I'd feel downright awful for putting anyone in a position like that. And for anyone who isn't into tickling like we are, I'm usually pretty good at sensing their limits.

I've never tried to break it down to myself before. I love tickling, always have. Sure the laughter is a huge part of it. Everyone loves laughter or making people laugh. When done through tickling, it's a shared event between people. You causing it and she giving it up, even if they don't want to (as in if they are trying to resist). When it does come, it's a rush of adrenaline on their part, and in turn exciting(not necessarily sexually) for the ler. The whole act is a shared event and a bonding activity. The laughter itself is intoxicating, as part of the event as a whole. The power exchange on both sides is similarly addicting. On the ler side, forcing the laughter from someone, taking it from them if you will, and on the lee side they fighting against it (even if they want it) and finally giving in is just as sweet.

Add to the fact, like Snail said, it is a tactile exchange/experience. Touching is an exchange of emotion between people, whether hugging, kissing, patting a friend on the back, holding hands, etc. They all convey and emotion or feeling. I've somehow, somewhere picked up an appreciation for women's feet along the way. Not a fetish for sure, but an appreciation. The female form is fricking beautiful, period! This usually manifests itself in massages all the time which has NEVER been frowned upon by any female. 😉 So I can rub her feet through half a movie on the couch, enjoying the same tactile experience and her melting over it, in the same emotional/physical exchange as the tickling.

As for being just ler, I've spent my share of being an unwilling lee as a child and it was just fucked up. I don't in any way think its evil neither do I give anyone the thousand yard stare for it, and I actually enjoy it playfully. I'm just too much of a pussy to endure it hardcore like the ones of you that enjoy it. I look at it like this, we're like a giant version of the kid's game with the wooden blocks that go through the similarly shaped holes. Some of us are a certain shape and only accept a certain shaped block, some a certain shape block that will only fit through the correct hole, and some shapes that can go through either. We're all part of the same game and love it, and love everyone else's love of it and the part they all play.

Now it's your turn to share, Ms. Blue Blue Blues. What happens when a person is assaulted with tickles? Is the reaction more mental than physical?

I don't want to hi-jack my own thread.

This is me asking for Ler's to speak out, not drawing down on my own personal insight on the mind frame of a Lee.

But, I'll answer questions in your Lee thread.

This isn't the thread for those questions, though, hon. 🙂

She answered. Check out the "Ummm.. Lees?" thread. 😉

Edit: Posted a hair too late.

 

[Redmage]

No.

I never implied that.

I am merely trying to understand the inner machinations of a Ler's mind.

Well, by suggesting that we're just out for "control," in the most generic, unqualified sense, you sort of did imply that, though you may not have meant to.

Control is part of the 'ler thing, but only in very particular ways and with very particular people. Control as part of certain kinds of experiences is the key.

 

[dvnc]

Depends on who I'm tickling.

The motivations for tickling really do depend on the situation. Privately, in my own crib wit' my lady... well, ya don't getta know that.

In play scenes, sadism can lead, with the desire to control. Other times, especially at my own events, it's a desire to give that person what they want, the way they want it, knowing that this ain't necessarily common. It's sharing, then.

If it ain't my event, and the 'lee's askin' for it, then it's back to sadism.

If it's outside of our community, it's just silly fun.

 

[AffectionateDan]

Dunno. Never wasted much time analyzing it. Dunno why I like pizza, either. Never thought too much about that, either. It's just yummy. So's the pizza. Good enough for a simple bahr. Yup.

I like to touch. I'm a very tactile person. I always have been.

I also like to make people laugh.

This, however, is a very good answer.

 

[Amnesiac]

I like being the ler for reasons that are imperceptible mysteries of the universe. However, the parts I CAN explain are simple: I'm a sadistic reaction junkie.

I have no interest in power exchange, and I don't do it naturally. Any dominant attitudes I attempt are done to create an atmosphere for the 'lee--and NO I do NOT consider it a chore, it's more like acting, and therefore fun--to make the tickling more intense. To me, being a 'ler is not about power, but exploration. In short, to coin AnnieHall, I'm a mad scientist.

I'm genuinely interested in exploring a person's pleasure threshold and then pushing it so that the blissful become nearly unendurable. It's a curious experience to see someone actually "tortured" with pleasure because I can't stop wondering what their brain is thinking or going through. And it's also great fun to experiment with them so that I can see the many different phases and manifestations of reactions they have, each one indicating pleasure, but also unbearable intensity.

Also, as many of us will attest, laughter is like music. I can genuinely appreciate it as an aesthetic and manipulating someone's nerves to produce certain laughter is like searching through a toy chest for the next cool gem to play with. The legendary Yaqi/Erin session is a great example of the "unendurable bliss" thing I'm talking about, including the laughter samples.

Metaphorically speaking, I'd be the tickling equivalent of Pinhead from Hellraiser.

It's as simple as causing you to ask....


I like to cause responses. To see where people go. How they think.

With tickling, it's how they respond to a stimuli that they can't place in a box. That forces involentary responses.

How do they attempt to shape it? Add to it? Control it?

How does it seep around their efforts?

What can I cause?

[Goodieluver]

The tactile sensation of tickling is good, esp if yer like me with a foot fetish

Making someone squirm and laugh and i guess ultimately its an issue of control

Or just that lil dude in my brain likes it and he wont tell me why

and i love lamp

 

[P[a]pi]

I just want to add something to the control idea.

For me, at the core, it's not about the laughter, reactions or touching.

I just like controling a female. It turns me on. I don't need to control every female, just my lee. But, if another female wants me to do her, I'll do it if my lee is okay with it.

 

[besttickler27]

Personally, I enjoy being able to push a girl to her very limits and hear her beautiful laughter. And I also like to feel lees squirm and try their best to fight. lol. But at the same time, I enjoy the fact that whoever I am tickling still knows that I care about them and I won't go completely mean on them. lol.

 

[Skipadeedoodah]

I'm a lee so I can't add to this thread, but it's interesting, I like the responses...and I want MOAR...sooooo

*bump bump bump!*

 

[McNoodle]

Never really thought it out but I think the desire to tickle a woman for me plays along with the desire to bring a woman to orgasm. While the two are separate in my mind they both seem to reach a similar joyous reaction to the recipient which I could take credit for causing (thus the excitement I feel). I know that really doesn't make much sense but I feed off the excitement that occurs in the lee. Kinda gets the endorphins flowing.
(On an off note... maybe that's why some people have sneeze fetishes too. It is seeing someone lose control momentarily).

I am a ler because it is the only situation that has ever presented itself in adulthood. I don't think I would like being a lee but I never rule anything out.

I am a LER myself mostly and love the laughter and begging I get from some of the ticklees I have tickled. I love to tickle feet mostly but love to tickle all over if I get a ticklish reaction from a lady I am in heavan. I like the power I have over a bound ticklish lady who can not get away, making her laugh so uncontrolably and begging for the tickling to stop. I am the type of guy who can either be gentle in my tickling technique or be very sadistic in it depends on the lee and how she wants to be tickled. I always want the tickling to be as fun for my lee as it is for me so I tend to try and make her happy as well.

As for me being a Lee well I hate being tickled and usually get upset and mad when someone tickles me other than my feet. I enjoy having my feet tickled and it does tickle, but you touch me anywhere else and I get mad. I don't think getting mad is a good thing and I would not tickle one of my lees to the point of making her mad either. Tickling should be consensual and also if my lee's need a safeword in case it gets to intense for them that is cool too. I would stop tickling when they say the safe word so they can regain their composure and breath before tickling anymore.

Anyway this is my view on this topic. Have a great day.

[karategirl18]

I'm a switch, but from a Ler's standpoint, It is about control. When I'm ler'ing a guy, I get the satisfaction of having him completely helpless under my fingers. Plus, I'm somewhat of a sadistic bitch 😉 Taking someone, and making them absolutely vulnerable to the ticklish torture you put them through....hell yea!

 

[tommytikl]

For me, as a ler, it is pulling laughter from my lee.
That sweet, awesome full laughter, not screaming but just full laughter.

The better I tickle, the more laughter I can produce.

As a ticklish tickler, I love the feeling of being tickled.
The fingers on my skin, the different tools used, I tend to top from the bottom by telling my ler, "no, no, tickle just a bit to the right" or "deeper, faster".
I want my ler to find my best spots unless the ler likes to find them out for themselves, but if they don't find my spots then I tell them because I want to loose my mind.

as you know I kinda start out quiet when you tickle me and then the laughter just starts pouring out...

 

[JPie1]

For me the biggest turn on as a ler is getting the big ones, the ones that try to stand strong, love to get them bound make them laugh and sing like girls, and I have my methods - I try to leave no stone unturned. It is such a rush for me, to hear laughter from the big guys. It is also the persistence with the big guys when they are not bound, love surprising and being persistent, love the different sounds guys make (impaler, tommy), then there are the ones that are just too cute for words when tickled (Baldy), then there are the big bears then do this shiver thing when you hit a spot they didn't think they had (Danimal)...ah yes the Ler in me...it is the conquest, the laughter...pure joy, pure evil...

 

[natural tickler]

I am ler 90% of the time, and I'll be a lee when requested...not like I'm looking for it though, because when I am the lee, I think of all the ways I've tortured others, and then thinking its gonna happen to me...although its intriguing at times to see if any can tickle me as well as I do them

Why do I ler? because I love the looks on a lee's face when they know there is no way out, and they will never be the same as they were before we started

 

[Cy/MiG]

For me, yes, it's obviously about 'control.

But it's also about 'submission' (by the lee) or perhaps even 'trust' (which, I suppose could also be part of 'control'...?).

The thought of tickling someone who knows how undeniably ticklish they are and reducing them to fits is great (TKLMAN's quotes from page 1 say it best).

But having them enjoy it (or in most cases, not hate it) is a large aspect from my angle.

Yes, I want to tickle the $h!t out of women, perhaps even in a 'domineering' fashion (Though I do enjoy 'playful' tickling as much as other forms).

But I also want them to want to be tickled (or again, not mind). It's like the lee saying, look, this is where I'm 'weak', but it's okay if you make me weak (or, I hate it when I'm tickled, but you can tickle me; same concept).

That's the way I see it most times.
