What exactly is the appeal of naked tickling?

[duderino84]

I saw a couple of people hint at it, but I believe that it's a huge level of vulnerability. Everything is exposed and you can't hide anything, not just from a tickling standpoint, either. The person is completely open to the tickler. Other than the visual attractiveness to a naked lee, I think that's another huge part of it, just that feeling of being 100% exposed.

This. The exposure is the rub. Stocks/ bondage are the only comparison criteria.

Naked allows all the ticklish spots to be exposed. No clothing for protection. 😀

99% of the time, I'm not a fan of nudity. I only like it with certain people, in certain positions, rarely. But I see that it's very popular lol.

Tickling is arousing to me, the feeling of sex during, licking her clit while I tickle her, the dichotomy of the moans and the laughs, the tickle spots like the perenium, the hip hollows near the intimate areas that aren’t readily available when they are clothed. More exposed ticklish flesh.

First, I'm a straight guy. Like it or not, I'm wired to always want to see as much of a cute girl's body as I can. Even if there's no hint of tickling involved.

Second, tickling itself is always sexual to me. So I personally only want to watch or participate if a girl is getting tickled. The cuter the better, because this is a huge kink for me.

So for me it's simple. Getting to watch a cute girl get tickled, while also getting to see as much of her beautiful body as possible, makes the scene twice as hot.

From a lee perspective, I'd say it's about being completely exposed and feeling more like a pet or a plaything than a person.

love that thought process! I agree with you! Also am a big fan of strip tickling, if any of you have ever tried that! How I do it is when you say the safe word, you lose another article of clothing! Usually the last thing to be tickled would be either the cock or pussy, 😂.

I agree, I love strip tickling too !! I would love for a ler to put me through this kind of game, tickling each newly exposed area of my body as we go. I think it adds something exciting to a session 🙂

Hypothesis that porn producers in the earliest of days (pre-internet) found they could sell some niche tickle focused vids once they discovered tickle fetish was a sizeable enough group. They were already doing nude/mostly nude and then added some tickle content to bring in a bit more buyers.
Then the opposite in the latter half of the "golden age" of tickle fetish production. In order to draw in more than only tickle fetish audience, a fringe or non-ticklephile might still buy some tickling clips to see a bound hot naked model squirming and pleading for mercy without more painful or corporal torments. Moreso when it's F-F.

I imagine most native ticklephiles accept nude IF the tickling is genuine and amazing, but don't "prefer" it to clothed. The majority of folks over 40 saw their first "tickle FETISH" media with clothed ticklees. That's one thing but the other main thing is 99.9% of our real life platonic tickling experiences (even witnessing) don't involve anything close to nudity (swimwear most likely). If it happens with nudity for people IRL it is with a romantic partner and during or foreplay in intimate activity that would require nudity anyway. And surely there are romantic couples out there who are ticklephiles who go wild for spontaneous clothed tickle attacks mostly but schedule sessions where the Lee or both are nude as it exposes those additional private ticklish places (but may also involve direct sexual tease/play/genital tickling).
I'd also go out on the limb to say that most people here would say their most enjoyable/memorable platonic tickling experience ever was a clothed one.

Again, just hypothesis but there's mutual exclusivity for most fetishes. In a vacuum, I would feel safe saying overwhelming majority of ticklephiles greatly prefer non-nude tickle fetish media AND real life experiences. For exposure, lingerie, underwear, or swimwear/bikini but desire to keep the fetish play in that vacuum and not have it be sexualized.

That recent published (yet extremely limited) study of tickle fetish that came out last year drew fairly significant conclusions that ticklephiles in the sample considered the fetish experience of tickle play to give the euphoric pleasure and excitement of a sexual experience but did not need or desire their tickle play to be sexual.

YET of course, there's room for everyone's preferences and all have valid reasons. Plenty find nudity in tickling super hot and I'd never tell them it's not. But I'm listing why I believe nudity is not majority preferred by most ticklephiles. And this is more about the "fetish media" aspect than anything.

I've seen scenes both clothed and nude I thought were wonderful. But the ones involving nudity I enjoyed also involved other things than just tickling (D/s, sexual tease and denial, forced orgasms, etc.). Nudity solely with tickling (no matter how good) adds nothing for me. For ME, a grade A tickle fetish video of a nude ticklee would actually be MORE enjoyable if the ticklee were clothed. And that's because it ensures the eye and mind get to enjoy seeing the fetish in that vacuum of the fetish and not peripheral pornography.
Having a mutually exclusive foot fetish, it is the same for me. I enjoy seeing pretty feet on clothed women more in media and a nude model posing feet doesn't add anything and can sometimes be less enjoyable via the overall context of 'pornography'.

That said, one concept I have seen that I loved was the female ticklee was bound facedown topless with the premise that she had to endure being tickled while having to refrain from rolling to the sides (to avoid having her bare breasts exposed to the camera). It was consensual and that "predicament" added to the joy of watching without it being nude.

 

[TicklerKoops]

Only talking about a young, attractive lady getting tickled by one or multiple ticklers. I generally have no problem against it, but I have a hard time to think about even a single time when the ticklee being naked adds any additional appeal to me. Like, it is totally bland and makes no difference to me.

Trying to understand the appeal here.

The more that's exposed, the more that can be explored. Not to mention it gives a sensation of vulnerability to the lee. Not to mention you can't put oil or lotion on socks/bras/shirts/shorts and expect to get the same tickly glide lol

that is exactly it !! being naked means I can be tickled everywhere and also covered in oil to make it worst

 

[SirTristran]

Different strokes isn't it.

I personally prefer a small and revealing outfit choice, either shorts and t shirt, underwear, bikini etc, but if they end up naked by the end of the session then that's also ok. Prefer to leave something to the imagination though. Imagine christmas morning if your presents didn't need unwrapping. Sounds rubbish.

I cant stand leggings for a sesh. They need outlawing.

This sounds aspec to me, and I absolutely could be wrong! But I am ace, aroace, technically repulsed but still will celebrate the right to love anyone you want, provided consent. However, I am here cuz duh tickling is fun 🤷‍♀️ but also if I am dying of tickle crave and feel like vicariously living through a video I don't give a shit if they're naked or not. I'm not attracted to people like that, literally not a damn soul. It's not anything I could change and I know that cuz I tried. I tried for years.

Other things that may help you decide if you want to check if this road has the "you" in it like I found for me is if you don't experience sexual (or perhaps romantic idk) attraction to anybody, only to a person you know extremely well, only to a specific stranger, in intense very short bursts, only sometimes, with varying factors, or you would rather not due to trauma. All valid. Even more than that. If you don't see your potential partner and say "I wanna fuck them" in a majority of the time or specific conditions had to be met before you did, congrats, you're aspec. You're one of us. But if you're not sure, gather data. Learn. Read. In the words of the LEGENDARY LaVar Burton, "don't just take my word for it".

I am only one person following maybe a very incorrect hunch. Do not only take my word for it.

Submission fascinates me.

At TA2, Tasha tickled a young woman named Lily. She had taken on a nerdy persona, with squarish glasses and loose ponytails. Slowly, methodically, Tasha took her apart. She worked for six minutes and change before she raised Lily's top and exposed her breasts, toyed with her nipples. After another bout on her feet, Tasha raised her skirt and pulled down her panties. The video finishes with Lily declaring that she loves Tasha and will submit to her at any time. At the end, Lily is not quite broken, but she is changed.

Through it all, Tasha is Tasha -- distant, knowing, mildly amused, saying little. She renders Lily emotionally stripped.

Perhaps this is the nudity that is most true, the revelation that is most gripping.

I'm going to take a wild stab and guess that, based on your username, you're a straight woman. Therefore, seeing other women naked holds about as much appeal to you as a dude's schlong flapping in the face of a straight man. IE, slim to none, and Slim left town.

I mean, I think most of us can appreciate someone of the same sex being attractive, but odds are it doesn't get our motors running the same as it would for a gay or bi person, and that's pretty normal, if you ask me.

I do occasionally marvel at how often I see people ask this question online, though. Like, sexual attraction is one of the most basic, fundamental aspects of human existence and a lot of people approach it like it's some new species of bug they've never heard of before.

Straight man here too and I'm not into the whole nude thing even though I love the female body, it takes away from the wholesome aspect and makes it into a fetishistic aspect that ruins it for me. I basically enjoy tickling as wholesome as it gets - full clothed but maybe a crop top and non-tied (since I feel most of the most ticklish people would never agree to be tied and also the tying also gives it a fetish vibe I'm not looking for)

That's why I always love finding mainstream tickle videos.

It's tickling, and it's nudity, that's it... that's all there is to it. The big deal about Naked Tickling is in the title 😉😁😄

 

[frankied21]

I dont mean to be blunt, but this is pretty self explanatory of an answer is it not ? Either its a desire to move to sexual, or you want every inch to play with. Thats how I feel! I just sometimes do games like bikini strings in the mouth and if you laugh too loud you drop the top, but still. Who doesnt love a naked lee ?? You get to see the arousal or the distress the most yhat way, and theres nothing to keep you from finding the smallest of crevices that create shrieks

Like I said, it's naked with tickling. That's all ya gotta know... am I right? 🤔

 

[Kilo Echo]

For me, tickling has been too sexualized in my sessions, as ler and lee. The rare few times there was only tickling, it felt like something was really missing. I guess the women who tied me up conditioned me heavily.

 

[dreamr]

They say a picture is worth a thousand words... I would like to share two pictures that I'm obsessed with that capture the appeal of naked tickling to me. Neither of them contain actual tickling, but boy, are they bursting with anticipation. Both belong to @ZenTickling and fearure the gorgeous ticklish nudity of his lovely wife and muse Edith. If these don't explain the appeal, I have no idea how.
