When did the light switch click on for you?

That's a good question. I've already shared how I got this way - incidents stemming all the way back to when I was 4 but I didn't realize that it was a "thing" until mid teens when I hit puberty and it was a focus of my fantasies.

It was indirect at first for me. I grew up kind of shy and clumsy, so I would look at ppl. As I got to ten, I was fixated on long hair. I ended up developing a hair fetish and I was tickled a little too much when I was younger, and I had fantasies that involved the two mixing. Around 16/17 I surfed the Internet, and tried to research my "weird" fetish to see what it was. I stumbled along tickling, it did the same thing for me. So, I transitioned and had the one fetish I was forward about (tickling) and the fetish I kept to myself until I felt like talking about it (hair). So that's pretty much how it happened.

At a weekly physio class I went to when I was about 10. Part of a group of 5 one week the nurses played a statues game in which we were not allowed to move or laugh and ended with them tickling us out of the game. I knew I found something intriguing about the fact they were cheating yet we could not do anything about it. They noticed due to one or two things I did the next week and them tickling me at the end of the session became a weekly thing. I did not become a ler until later in my university days.

Tickle fights with my baby sitter when I was young, and seeing the movie What The Swedish Butler Saw. Sue Longhurst was perfect in that roll.
