What got you into tickling?

[BigNorm]

for me, it had to be the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon show which was famous when i was like 6-8 years old. it had so many tickling in episodes, there musta been a tickle lover on the writing staff. good times like that are rare these days.

how about everyone else? what made yall realize you love tickling or being tickled?

Well, I should have caught on in grade 7, when I got turned on by hearing a girl give details about a guy who would tickle her when he danced with her at parties.

I didn't actually figure it out until I stumbled upon the Magic Touch website. I thought I had a thing for light bondage... I could never figure out why I preferred it when the girls were tied with their arms over their heads... 🙄

Good question. I have no idea. I think Mother Nature had a hand in it. The earliest memory of tickling that I can recall now is from an Underdog cartoon. But there's no way that I become a ticklephile from seeing a damn cartoon. I think I was just born with it.

 

[BigNorm]

yeah, true, mother nature must have a hand in it. i can just see that with DNA studying, they figure out what a person is gonna be like and what they are gonna like before their born.

Mother: So doctor, how is my baby gonna be?

Doctor: Well. from this DNA scan, he's gonna be tall and wirey, a dead ringer for Carrot Top , gives ya grief as a kid, and gets stuck in a dead end job selling junk. He will have a nasal voice and an awful lisp, and stands no chance at ever getting a date. Hmmmmm it seems he will like tickling and have a strong foot fetish.

Mother: Oh my boy's gonna be a professional tickler! i'm so proud.

There's my scary sci-fi bit for today, thank you. lol

I was about 5 years old.
I was watching a Popeye cartoon.
Olive Oyle was dangling upside down by her feet from the gurter of a building under construction. Bluto peeled back the sole of her shoe & tickled her sole.
I pointed to the TV & yelled, "THAT'S FOR ME!"
I didn't understand what it REALLY meant at the time. I just knew that I liked what I saw. I didn't laugh at it. It wasn't funny to me. I smiled & felt 'funny' all over.
From that moment on, my mind was on tickling & bare soles. I watched ALOT of Popeye cartoons waiting for the next tickle scene to come on. This was WAY before the advent of home VCRs, so if I missed it, I MISSED it. This was in 1964, since my birthday is in November.
I've been obssessed with it ever since.
My eyes were focused on female feet since then. My head was facing the floor most of my life. (hahaha)

For me it happened gradually. Iam a dual fetishist for both feet and tickling. I began reading articles on tickling in magazines such as Leg Action and such when I was in my teens, and that got me more and more into it. As I've posted on here before, my late pen pal Don Fraser was the one who really got me into talking about tickling, and helped turn it into a "fetish" for me. Due to him, I began asking female letter pen pals if they were ticklish, and it just grew from there. It wasnt any one thing that really got me into it, more so many things that happened over a period of time.

Smurfy was the reason I really got into tickling, but I have always liked tickling.

 

[milagros317]

I can't say what got me into tickling, because I was into it as far back as I can remember, which is age four. 😀 😛

 

[natural tickler]

What got me into tickling?? Hmm...let's see. I'm like some people here, I grew up with it. A family tradition. No one could go a day without tickling someone. So, whenever you have an entire family into it (including relatives), you either got with the program, or considered to be an outsider, or the goofball that wasn't with it😛

 

[lite]

Always a good question...

I came to tickling late in life; I'm not one of the people who always felt this way, and as such, I'm in something of a minority.

I was introduced to tickling, so to speak, by someone who was very important to me. He's no longer a part of my life, but the tickling is still here! 🙂

 

[TicklishSinner]

i been into tickling as long as i can remeber always putting myelf in situation to be tickled and such

I can remember thinking about ticking girls and being attracted to female feet as far back as late elementary school (about age 11). The girls had no breasts at that age and I didn't know what they had instead of what I had "down there", but thier feet were cute and I wanted to tickle them. I fantasized about tickling years before I even knew about sex! Although the size gets proportionatly larger with the rest of the body, the shape and beauty forms at a young age. As a child I was attracted to them whether they were a childs or adults. As an adult, the small feet of young girls no longer interests me. Yes, I notice them, I'm not blind, but the small size just doesn't hold my interest, which is the natural ways of things.

I have two female cousins and it was the idea of one of them to play "tickle". Since there was three of us, there was one lee, one ler, and one to hold down the lees arms. Not a bad situation for a few kids. One of them had said that she had played "tickle" with her friends and I remember wishing that I could participate next time. I lived 200 miles away, far too far away to just "drop by" since I was about 11, far from driving age). I remember going after the feet of a female friend of my cousin while in the pool. I was about 12 and at that age it was probably thought of as a symptom of a crush, not a fetish. Guess they would have been wrong!

I had fun later that day peeking through the keyhole (yes it was an old house with an old fasioned keyhole, old fashioned even in 1986) watching her take off her bathing suit. So what if she was 14. At the time so was I! So THATS what they have down there...

 

[BigNorm]

yeah, i remember those popeye cartoons. my love for tickling grew as i grew older. in 8th grade had 2 hot teachers that always wore sandals and had beautiful feet. also was an english teacher in 10th grade that was really hotand hot a crush on, hehe, she had some incredibly soft looking soles too. shocked too find she lives just a block from me in a school that has teachers and students from all over town. whenever i saw here in my neighborhood, her fiance which she walked with would love to tickle her pits and ribs playfully.
then i found the TMF, then i realized i was missing so much in tickling. totally love the TMF now, truly a life saver.

 

[RChello]

I can remember two instances,,,,

that truly stand out,,,one was when I was about 5, yeah I know before they invented electricity,,,A friend of my mom's ,of all people, and at the time she had to be about in her late twenties near 30,,,she loved to tickle me to pieces,,,I remember her chasing me down and tickling the bejesus outta me in my own yard, on several occasions too,,,the other was growing up in my teens,, my best friend had 3 sisters,,,all deathly ticklish,, we used to have tickle fights all the time, and I mean serious pin each other down and tickle like crazy kind,,, so for me those were powerful childhood memories,,,

 

[Angel77]

Born with it as well! 🙂

 

[BigNorm]

yeah, i have 2 cousins who are twins and every family get together, we'd lay at each other's feet, and tickle each other's tootsies, though we weren't that ticklish at the time, it was fun playing with their feet, like training myself, on new tickling tecnics and to find where they were most ticklish on their cute feet.

 

[Havsoker]

I knew when I was about 6. Hmmm, what hadn't been invented yet? Well, I digress! 🙂

My parents were out and a girl from a neighboring apartment was babysitting. It was a hot day and I was wearing only shorts and she was barefoot.

While she sat on the couch reading, I was on my back and sneaking under the coffee table. I reached out and grabbed her ankle, making her jump.

My celebration of success did not last long. She immediately started digging her toes into my ribs. That is when I discovered my first paradox: I fought t get away, yet I wanted more! 🙂

I wanted to say that I too have a feet and tickling fetish. But my tickling fetish and foot fetish happened at the same time, but of course tickling was gradual. I don't know, I guess tickling to me was something that just seemed natural. I would tickle girls and guys, and than I learned that I loved it. Feet though happened when I watched the movie "North to Alaska." The movies great (reguardless if there was tickling in it or not.) And thats my story.

 

[tickler29]

I'm not sure what actualy got me into tickling, but I've been into it all my life. When I was a little kid, I used to get my big sister to tickle me, and i loved it. I also had one uncle who tickled my cousins (his kids), and I would watch for a bit, then jump in and help him. Then us kids would tickle each other. Nothing like a good "tickle fight" to pass the time. 😛
