what's wrong with us?

[moose]

this has probably been asked a hundred times but what a hundred and one I want to know what is it about tickling we find so arousing. I mean its kinda of childish if you think about it. To tell you the truth there are times I wished I didn't find tickling so cool, but I do. all well I guess my GF going to have to live with a tickle monster.

Just my opinion, but I'm sure there's a scientific/psychological paper out there somewhere about fetishes and the like going into some big analysis as to what chemicals and thought pathways cause a fetish. This paper would probably give you an in-depth answer to your question.

But if you found such a paper, would you really want to read it? We all like tickling and that's good enough for me. 🙂

Tickling Isn't Cool????

Wow, I have some serious soul searching to do, and then I can begin to pick up the shattered pieces of my life.

JUST KIDDING! It's hard to be a tickle freak sometimes, but I definitely wouldn't have me any other way, and neither would the people who really count in my life. If people would spend less time worrying about what other people think of them, and more about what matters to them, there would be a lot less questions like this. Either way, embrace your inner tickler or ticklee, cuz it's who you are, and it's all you get.

I've been aroused by kink in general since before I understood what arousal was. Later on, I made the connection; and, more recently, just came to the conclusion that kink is just part of my DNA. My opinion is it's an inborn genetic trait, but I'm not a scientist, so it's just a layman's guess. Maybe there is an actual scientific explanation for it, maybe there's not. Quite frankly, I don't care. I like what I like, and I see little to no point in second guessing myself or wondering what exactly 'made' me this way. I, for one, just am this way.

Honestly I don't think there is anything wrong with us. Not one little thing ok?

Having a love for tickling is no more odd to me than the average guy who has a breast or ass fixation - yet society seems to deem it a deviation or perversion; why this is I'll never know. Damn social mores 🙂

As far as tickling being childish...well take a look around you lad. There are more than 40,000 registered adults here, not including the guests/lurkers. Also I normally do not put much stock into Wikipedia since the average schmoe can write an article for it, but if memory serves me correctly around 81% of adults enjoy tickling in one form or another. Something that many people apparently enjoy I would hardly deem "childish"

As for your initial question, I've always found tickling to be sexually arousing..dunno why - but I don't bury my face in my hands and cry about it, worrying over what a bunch of nobodys might think about me. I accept that part of my sexual makeup and let it rest, its who I am and I'm proud of who I am. Anyone that ends up with me will have to accept that fact that I like tickling. Who knows? Maybe they might like it too 🙂

....sheesh I ramble too much don't I?

I've said many times that considering what else is out there, we could have done a lot worse. Some get off on pain, injury, being peed on, shit on, trampled, or even dead. My personal opinion is that as kinks go, tickling is the cream of the crop. One of the things I like most about it is that it can be done fully clothed, in public, and with multiple participants.

A fetish is like a fear it usually starts in early childhood and can be cause by anything. So for each person it's different. However a fear can be overcome sadley a fetish can't be and for some like me it's a disease that you have to live with.

Vanilla is like a cake without icing. Tickling is the icing. You don't know how lucky you are.

A Thought about ... Tickling

My dear boy,

first of all... The is nothing childish about tickling... it's good clean fun...
it's also a playful foreplay to all things sexual and if tickled adeptly, it rewards the ticklish with the best orgasms!

secondly, tickling is a nice icebreaker once you get to know your chosen partner. Exploring the tickle spots on one's body is fun.

I playful finger in teh belly button or a feather stroke along the sides or tummy... watching your ticklee giggle, wiggle and then applying teh firm ticling strokes ... all add up to a nice time !

So get comfortable in your skin.... ticklish or not and accept the enevitable about tickling and being ticklish... --->>>

Well we're all someone's child, and that you might say makes us Child - ish. No different than any of the other 35% (50%-85% for guys hehehe) we do (or wanna do) from day to day that helps life a little sweeter.

I tend to think "what's wrong with everyone else? Don't they get it?"

I completely agree.

Tickling is one of the most benign fetishes out there. If you tell someone you really enjoy tickling, they're not going to say "wow you're a freak I'm never talking to you again." Tickling is something that everyone does, and we just enjoy it more than everyone else.

Also, I defy you to think of an easier fetish to tell people you have. I told a good friend of mine and she was like, huh, thats interesting. Now she tickles me all the time, because she knows that I love it. Its one of those things that people who aren't into it can indulge people who are into it rather easily.

If, as drew mentioned, I had said "yea, you know, I really get off on people peeing on me," I can guarantee the reaction would have been different.

Brilliant, drew. You rule!

I think everyone is attracted to tickling or being tickled. I am talking about the vanilla society. One time or another tickling or being tickled has entered into play if even the person is trying to get some attention.

I think what people think is weird about it is that someone actually likes it to where they would consider doing it on a daily basis.

Even something as normal as sex, a person would be considered a "freak" if they constantly thought about it or willing to participate in it everyday.

If you tickled every person you were around or enstigated being tickled. No one would think anything of it...until you said "I like it" verbally. Society I think is the one that is weird. We deny the obvious so we don't have to deal with being human.

I think my girlfriend summed it up rather well when she said "Well, of course I like it! I just never really thought of it like that. I didn't think I was supposed to."

I know that in society, it is taboo to have a "Tickle fetish". I don't even like the word fetish in the first place. It just seems to have a negative feel to it. Like you aren't supposed to talk about it, or that it's automatically weird. Tickling isn'tweird, it should be something we can be open about to at least someone in our life. It's been said before; almost everyone in the world has enjoyed tickling in one form or another. We're just more enlightened about it! 😀 Therefore, let's continue to show everyone what a great thing tickling is.

I subscribe to this point of view! Ain't nothin' wrong with me! It's their loss if they don't "get it"!

Moment of truth...

[Extreme close-up of tear-stained face] <br> Oh, loving tickling makes me SO ashamed...<p>NOT! [Pull back to medium shot as face breaks into broad smile, winks, and waggles eyebrows at passing feather]

My personal "favorite" that comes to mind when a TMF member went to a fetish party, got bitten by the "bite fetish" girl, and chatted with the "abortion fetish" girl (who I still think needs to be locked up somewhere)!

I really never thought of myself having any type of fetish, but as I get older, I have a much clearer picture of who I am and what I want and need. Let's face it, I NEED a good tickling (giving or receiving) sometimes and I don't feel ashamed about that. 😛oke3:

i remember i was mentioning my turn-ons to this girl and I was like "well, I just really like ticklish girls. alot. I like tickling overly ticklish girls." prior to that she never mentioned it, but not too soon after she admitted to liking being tickled and that it was arousing to her. while i haven't met her yet to start dating, i naturally feel like she might be tuggin my chain, but hopefully everything'll work out. perhaps the problem lies in the fact that people in general dont like to be extremely open?
