When Women Say "I'm Very Ticklish" In Conversation, Without Any Actual Tickling Happening

[ChefJ92]

It’s actually kind of funny. In college I knew this girl and she and I became friends and we liked one another for a little bit. And she was very shy and kinda awkward lol.

She came to college with a fresh mani pedi and often would re paint her nails around me and say things like oh when they scrubbed my feet I thought I was gonna die. Or ughh when I go home for break I’m getting my nails done and I’m dreading the scrubbing part

Or the day I found out she was ticklish on her stomach she was asking me to get her keys out of her sweatshirt front pocket and my nails got her tummy I guess and she was like omg that was torture from just a simple task.

Then when day she randomly brought up how her friends from back home would tickle her often.

one day I asked her if she liked tickling or being tickled cause she brought it up often and she was like it’s just a part of my life

From time to time some women will discuss their ticklishness with men who are not their significant others. Such as married women telling male friends how ticklish they are when they get a pedicure or similar situations.

When they say "oh I'm VERY ticklish" why do you think they say it? Is it a desire to be teased and tickled? Do they have a secret tickling fetish? Or is it just that those of us who do are making too much of it, and to the women it's simply no big deal, as if they were saying "I hate spicy food." What do you think?

this is probably not the case for people who do not have a tickle fetish, but for me, whenever I mention to a random guy or a friend that I am very ticklish, it is because I secretely hope he will tickle me (and maybe even share that fetish with me ?? although that seems very unlikely haha)

There's a not of middle room in between someone with a tickle fetish and someone who mentions it with no hidden motives, as if talking about a favorite flavor. As I wrote elsewhere in this thread there's the person at the beach who says in a girlish, flirtatious way "don't you dare splash me!" actually wanting the attention and flirtation, but not having a "splash" fetish.

exactly ! That's why I think that me mentioning it while actually hoping for it to happen is specific to the fetish and clearly not what most people mean.
