when did you find out you werent alone

[spike246]

At a young age I knew something was peculiar that I was into tickling. I went many years figuring that I was alone until Iwas about 19 and I checked out a book called the sex life of the foot and shoe . in the book there was a couple of examples of people who were into foot tickling. A couple months later I found a publication called variations that had letters about tickle fantasies. Awhole world was opened up when I went into an adult book store and picked up a publication called fetish times. Since I was fortunate to have a factory job at the time I started spending money to buy drawings and stories about tickling from a tobias hackner. Ive been spending money ever since on my tickle fetish it was many years ago . Iguess only older people would understand this we didnt have the computer back in those days to let you know that you werent alone. I just wondered how many people had this lonely feeling way back in the day.

I remember my sights set on tickling one day when i looked in the dictionary at the word 'Caress' and underneath it said 'See tickling' It was around the same time we gained our 56k access to the internet and i plucked up the courage to search 'tickling' on the then huge mamma.com search engine. The 'Real Tickling' website was the top link and when i pressed on it i had no idea what it was leading me to...the rest is history.
Its hard living with a sexual like that you feel like your the 'only one' who has it. I can be honest in saying i like Bouncy Castles. Its taken me 10 years of almost weekly searching to find an almost dead sub forum of fetlife.com joking about having the like and thats the closet i've come to finding 'someone else'. I really am the only one lol ... Thankfully I have an understanding kinky girlfriend who's promised we'll rent a castle one day and have some fun. 🙂

When I was about 10 years old I read an account of Catherine the Great having official foot ticklers in her royal court in Russia. 😀

I was about 16 and I was at a friend's house. These guys he worked with part time in a sports store gave him a stack of pornographic magazines. One of them had an article called "Tickled to Orgasm". It was my first indication that I wasn't alone. We started to read the magazines and I read that article totally amazed that I wasn't alone! It was a nervous but excited feeling that I will never forget. But, I became aware of my fetish when I was about 4. I've come to the conclusion that I was born with it. We are in the minority but everyone is unique in some way!

I remember looking the word tickle up in encyclopedias, dictionaries, medical books, you name it just to see the word printed on paper. I remember being a little kid, tying up my female action figures and having the male ones "tickle" them. I was really young when I discovered my fetishes, and I gotta say, the 'net had certainly done me a lot of favors in that department.

When I typed "tickling feet" into google and a tickling video site came up. Eventually it lead to the TMF and Tickeltheater. I'll never forget that feeling.

I was really young like in grade school thinking about tickling while tied up and when I hit 15, I found many articles on the net and realized I wasn't alone... Now, I embrace it.

You weirdo, you wouldn't have caught me looking up the word in a medical book

[rhiannon]

There was a TV show about sex called "Liebe Sünde" when I was younger. They showed all kinds of sex related topics, and one time, tickling was a topic. That was really amazing to me. 🙂

I sincerely hope you are kidding with the weirdo business. I have always been intrigued about all aspects of tickling, including the anatomical and evolutionary significance of it. Hence, medical books.

My story is very similar to Spike above, although I must say that I probably felt that I was the only one reading tickling articles in the adult magazines in the 1990s even though that obviously was not the case. Then came the "Tied and Tickled" video series which I had to watch at adult stores because I had kids at home. Around that time I saw some magazine articles by Max Speer. We corresponded a bit and eventually spoke on the phone so I knew there was at least ONE other real person with this fetish. The internet came later, but I still felt alone and was suspicious that a lot of the people on there were not genuine. But I really came to understand that I was not alone when I attended my first NEST about 9 years ago and, during introduction time, almost everybody said that they had had the fetish since childhood, and that they felt they were the "only one" with it. Now I have some nice friendships that have come out of the NEST experience.

Foot fetish I realised from around mid teens as again it was featured in adult mags on the odd occasion, the tickling side of it was when i googled "tickling" and found the TMF and discovered all you great People!

Not really into tickling, but I do have a foot fetish. I blame my ex girlfriend for getting me into checking out women's feet because hers were so perfect. She had the prettiest, most perfectly aligned toes I had ever seen on a woman. I knew people had foot fetishes but I realized that I wasn't alone when I read some comments from a Model (Tiffany Taylor) in Playboy's "Barefoot Beauties" pictorial. She said some guys request taking photos of her bare feet. Incidentally, I got to meet that model at a Comic convention in San Francisco. I was too shy to mention her feet although I did take a photo with her.

The earliest I can remember is probably playing with my dolls around age either or nine and having them act out tickling games 🙂 It started as a real fetish for me around 13 when I started Googling tickling, tickling games, tickling stories, etc. For a few years I kept feeling like I was some kind of weirdo or freak for being so into tickling, so I would indulge myself for a while but then stop and come back again like six months later because the desire was so strong. But once I hit college, I embraced it, found a tickling group on Facebook, found a Ler, and found out how very not alone we all are! <3

I was 18 when I started searching on the internet for 'tickling' related stuff, and realized that I was not the only one with an interest in the fetish.

 

[NMKamikaze]

It was when I first got access to the Internet that I found out that I wasn't the only one with a foot/tickling fetish.

 

[iluvticklinfeet]

i stumbled upon this site when i was 14...whoops!!! =)

 

[Solleticatela]

I was eleven when I found, while discussing with a schoolmate, he was as obsessed as I was with the idea of tickling girls' (and female teachers') feet. Later, when I was a student in Paris, I discovered foot and tickle fetish books, comics and magazines in an erotic bookstore. Then, I truly realized I wasn't alone.

 

[dantickle]

I was driving on a highway and saw what was obviously a large adult store. I decided to stop in and take a look, curious youngster that I was. This is before the internet became common, young-uns insert laugh here.

I was looking through magazine titles, organized alphabetically, and figured why not, and checked the Ts. There was a tickling magazine! Imagine my pleasant shock. I practically ran to my car to read it, and no not to do anything one really ought not do in public, but to just READ it. I was amazed. It seems so passe now, to know that you're not alone, but until you know, you don't know.

When I was 12 or 13, I was browsing the web and typed in "Tickling" into AltaVista.
I found an NCTweb board (I think) where people were discussing their tickling fantasies. That was probably the moment.

 

[isabeau]

I"ve always had fantasies since i was eight years old, about being tied and tickled..however it wasn't until i got my first computer in 2004, then discovered the TMF in 2005 that i realized, to my surprise and utter joy, that there were others with the exact same fantasies as myself..

 

[Aimee]

I wish I could say I had some epic moment where I realized I wasn't alone..
but really I just came here and bam that was how I knew!
