What are signs of a girl with a tickle fetish?

[Nextel]

Ive been into tickling for as long as i can remember but I've always wanted to know if the people around me (Girls) were into it secretly.So what are the signs? its not so easy with ebony girls...lol

 

[luvgirlsfeet]

my first guess would be that maybe if she tickles a lot of people in a playful fashion like a poke in the ribs someone reaching for something up high leaving themselves open

 

[SadCuzNotTcklsh]

What about a friendly light punch on the arm after a joke or something like that? Could that be a sign?

Why would that be a sign?

Usually the only sign that a girl might like to be tickled is that she doesn't bitch you out or break your nose after you did it. 🙂

Pretty much.

A better question would be "How can I tell if a woman may be open to my tickle fetish". It's still a tough question....but more telling than your first question.

1) She likes you
2) She likes when you touch her
3) She's happiest when you focus on her
4) Craves affection
5) Open minded about the world in general
6) Cool with trying new things in general "ewww Sushi! Never" (not a good sign)

These signs coupled with the one Rhiannon mentioned above are good signs. Sorry bro....no tell tale signs like "if she has a tattoo on her foot she's game".

I think it's far more efficient to find girls you like and see if they are open to what you like. If they are....keep them by keeping them happy. If not..move on to the next.

I agree with GQ and Rhiannon. Every girl is different, and it's rather ridiculous to assume all of them have some form of tell as to whether or not they have a tickling fetish. It also doesn't help that there are so many more different fetishes people are able to have than tickling, so I can say right now that even if a girl had a tell, it may not have anything to do with tickling at all.

 

[LD_Tickler]

The odds that one of your friends/acquaintances has a tickle fetish are functionally zero percent.

 

[darkharp]

I have to agree, there's no signs that people really give off. I had a tickle fetish for years, but I never tickled anyone I knew. I considered tickling more of a foreplay/sexual thing, so tickling my friends etc. would be weird for me.

Not true at all. I've had four of my partners who have been tied and tied me. Three of them on several occassions. The one odd was a fling and we only saw each other a few times... but we always had tickle fights anyway. I've also seen tmf in peoples browser history while using friends pcs a few times in hs but I hadn't accepted.my fetish at that point and was scare to ask about it. We aren't differnt than anyone else... we do the same crap normal people do... and then some!

And that means they have a tickle fetish? They don't unless they did it on their own pursuit with another partner.

O yes we are....o no we don't. 🙂 There aren't a whole lot of people who are turned on by tickling someone or being tickled. We are a very small percentage of the general population. I would say 99.9% of the people I talked to about preferrences, kinks, sex and so on have never heard of tickling as a fetish or never thought of connecting tickling to something remotely sexual.

I agree on the fetish part, but I disagree about tickling not being sexual to most people. It's absolutely a form of flirtation to a lot of people. I saw it all the time in high school, usually between guys and girls who "liked" each other. Also, a lot of the mainstream tickle scenes on TV shows, etc, have a sexual connotation to them. So I think it is sexual but in the same way that any other kind of flirting is sexual. The difference between them and "us" is that we view tickling as the focus of our sexual experience, and many of us even sort of need it to really get to the point of sexual climax. I remember a lot of members positing on one thread that they need to envision tickling during vanilla sex because climax is difficult otherwise. That sort of focus is very weird to 99 percent of the population as you say.

 

[Marquis De Sade]

I would think there are barely no outwardly noticeable "signs" since the kink is usually explored in private, as it involves two or more people in an intimate setting. The same could be wondered about in regards to anything sexual not just a tickling fetish. Think about it, does anyone around you who has the same relationship you have with the women around you that you're curious about have any idea that you're into it? You do your best to conceal that sort of thing in public.

Flirting and something being sexual is two different things. Most people do not get turned on by being tickled or by tickling others, and a lot of people react even aggressively to it and ask others not to do it. Tickling itself is not sexual as it is not the activity that turns people on.

To most people it does the opposite; all my friends who know I'm into it agree that if they got tickled before or during sex the mood would be gone immediately.

 

[SmarterthanU]

I've been into tickling since childhood. I've had the good fortune to have had lots of girlfriends over the years. I can say I've only met one female in my life who had an actual, genuine tickling fetish. It's really, really rare (as compared with men).

That said, in 99% of all the relationships I've ever been in, tickling was a dominant theme (no pun intended) in sex. It didn't matter whether my partner had an actual fetish, or had even ever considered tickling to be something sexual. What mattered was that she had fun playing with me during sex, and sex was obviously better when tickling was involved. In almost all of my relationships, my partner would initiate tickling even if I didn't, because it was a clear way to heighten the intensity of sex. In any sexual relationship, partners want connection. People who care for each other want to make each other happy, and turn each other on.

Only a couple of relationships have ended for me because of the lack of willingness to play along. But I can say with all sincerity that those relationships had tons of other problems too.

 

[Krugrsgrl]

I've always figured (or known) that when someone tickles you first, they are inviting you to do it to them.

I disagree with the "most people do not get turned on by tickling" statement. If any warm blooded male were to tickle Marissa Miller(seen below) MOST would get turned on. The difference between me and most guys though is that I could tickle a woman I wasn't attracted to and still be aroused. Being tickled is another thing....but in my experience tickling usually happens before sex in my dating life....even though no woman has said to me tickle torture arouses them.

GQ

 

[trelax1]

Agree with GQ on almost everything above. The four I mentioned were aroused when I tickled them/them me. The however many others weren't, so I didn't pursue it. Whether the three girls I mentioned from the past have done anything with future partners, I'm not sure. One of them was in to bondage before me anyways...

But I'd say if a tickling is arousing to a person, they should be considered to have a fetish, whether they pursue it or not. Also, when they start irritating the tickle fights when they know there's a strong sexual connotation associated with it, I'd say it would cross over into fetishism. It's all relative to the person/situation, but when your partner turns to you when you ask what to do for the night and says "TIE ME UP!" the jig is up in my opinion.

 

[MaleTickleeDC]

I disagree with the "most people do not get turned on by tickling" statement. If any warm blooded male were to tickle Marissa Miller(seen below) MOST would get turned on.

Yeah, that's kind of what I believe. I think there's more of a grey area here, and it's not simply a case of either having a tickling fetish or not having one. If the average guy were to tickle Marissa, he would probably get a boner. Not because tickling turns him on per se, but because here's this hot girl, and she's totally in submission to him, and she's squirming around, and he's touching her body. I mean, come on. Is that guy really not going to get turned on? But does he have a fetish? Probably not.

At the same time, if Average Joe is flirting with the Swedish Bikini Team, and he's teasing one of the girls, and she and her friends start tickling him to get back at him, isn't he going to get turned on as well? Again, it's situational. He's being dominated by all these hot girls. They're touching him in a lot of sensitive places. The context is flirtation. It just seems like that guy is going to get turned on. But he still doesn't have a fetish.

That's why I don't like this bright line between fetishists and non-fetishists. A lot of things can be used in sexual ways that are not inherently sexual to most people. I think a tickle fetishist is someone for whom tickling is inherently sexual.

 

[Nextel]

I'm in TOTAL agreement with TRELAX1!! Come on People.... this is TMF! We all have a tickle fetish here and are VERY aware of all the things we do to tickle... So miss me with all that "it varies from girl to girl" crap! Im talking about signs of a TMFer! The question was designed for the women here anyway.. Men are far more aggressive than women so its easy to determine whether a guy is into tickling whether secretly or not.. women not so much..... so the question is still yet to be answered

Sometimes I feel people deliberately don't understand what I am saying! 🙂

Any warm blooded male probably gets turned on just LOOKING at Marissa Miller! 🙂 You already said it yourself: you are turned on even if you're tickling a woman you are not attracted to - hence, the TICKLING turns you on. Other guys get turned on if they touch - tickling or not! - a WOMAN THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO. Hence, the WOMAN turns them on.

Tickling in dating life happens as a way to establish physical contact, not as a turn-on.

Plus, you have to look at the ler and lee side as well - the ler who does not have a fetish is more likely to be turned on simply because he touches an attractive woman. The lee who doesn't have a fetish, therefore probably doesn't like being tickled very much, will most likely NOT be turned on at all. Therefore, they do not connect tickling to sex at all. This is my experience. Don't think I haven't had this conversation with a lot of people!

Im talking about signs of a TMFer!

Again: There are none! What are you looking for, a secret tattoo saying "TMF" somewhere on our bodies?

 

[Artoo]

You say that, but I have bumped into at least 3 who I have only ever met in a non-kinky context.

 

[love feet]

it always is dependant on the people involved!

 

[Lord Doctor]

This.
If you notice it (like every day), ask in a quiet moment.

 

[TickleMeP1nK]

I guess a sign would be if the girl was dropping himts to get someone to tickle them. It would be different if they said it for the hell of it but if they so it alot i'm sure thats saying something lol.

 

[socktickler86]

Damn it, I was nearing the end of this thread hoping I would be the first to bring up this genius idea. All tickle lovers should have a tattoo... obviously it would be on their feet because that's apparently how most the guys on here see girls - as a pair of feet.

You say that, but I have bumped into at least 3 who I have only ever met in a non-kinky context.

So you are saying you randomly found 3 people over your lifetime and holy shit, they actually get turned on by tickling? And you found it out in a non-kinky context?
