Who hated tickling as a child???

[tklee88]

So it's strange for me to think about how I got into tickling. A lot of people say they were "born" with it, and I do think that. I had a weird relationship with tickling when I was younger. I liked to Ler, but HATED being Lee'd. I would be the one to go around tickling everyone, and would have my barbies tickle eachother ( I know..I'm a freak 😛)...but if someone tickled me, I would usually start to cry after. I always associated it with men, too. I was scared to go close to men because I was afraid they would tickle me. I think the big "switch" happened when I hit puberty and I realized tickling was fun. It wasn't until I was like 19 that I realized I ENJOYED being tickled. It's just strange, it's always been there, but I never realized it.

So who else??? Am I the only one?

Nope, you are not alone.

I hated being tickled when I was a kid. I already stood out because I was a heavy kid; something about this marshmallow body always attracted the tickle bugs. I was a very shy and quiet kid so to tickle me in public while strangers watched was exceptionally embarrassing.

I am surprised to this day that tickling became a passion for me because I hated it as a kid.

That's an interesting history with tickling. Thanks for sharing it!

BTW... my barbies always became cannon fodder... I was, and still am, such a tomboy!

I never hated it. I always thought it was fun. My sis and I would always get into tickle fights. Later, it would be with girlfriends at sleep overs, in locker rooms or whatever. Those times where a bit different and difficult for me though because I was aware that I was sexually attracted to girls. So it would become conflicting for me in the sense that these were my friends and to them we are doing silly girl stuff, but for me, I was getting turned on. I didn't seem to do that with boys much. Only a couple of times. But during that age, boys were merely competition. I didn't see them as possible sexual partners.

Now a days, I just see people as people and not a gender. And I definitely enjoy greatly both sides of the tickling coin now.

When I was a kid I hated being barefoot. There was 10 people in my house and at least one of them would try and tickle my feet.

 

[Artoo]

Me. I hated it until I hit adolescence.

 

[rhiannon]

I've always found tickling sexually arousing - but only watch when others did it! I never wanted to be tickled myself or tickle others myself. And it was like that for a long time, I could never imagine being able to stand getting tickled - until a friend who is into it as well got me to try it! 🙂

 

[luvgirlsfeet]

i honestly dont think there was a time in my childhood where I hated it, i'll have to ask my realitives who babysat for me when i was a kid to officially find out

 

[Travis]

I was exactly the same - hated it until I got to about 20, 21, even. I was always trying to be the ler and horrified when I'd be the lee, which happened a lot more often. Nowadays I've slowly managed to get to the point where I enjoy both.

 

[Master feathers]

actually ,I remember loving the warm feelings I got when I tickled someone ,even at an early age ....my girl cousin and I used to get into some very enjoyable tickling matches ...to this day I think about whether she is is ticklephile......

 

[sasaxrah]

and would have my barbies tickle eachother ( I know..I'm a freak 😛)

Ha! I tied up and tickled my dolls when I was a kid too... I have no idea what my parents thought about that!

I didn't have a ton of tickling experiences, ler or lee, as a kid. Very occasionally before bed my dad would tickle me. That's really it. I didn't mind it, but didn't fully realize the fascination until after puberty.

 

[xSamanthax]

I hated it as a kid. Well I think as a *really* little kid, I liked it, but then I had a cousin who used it as a way to pick on me. And I hated it up until a year or so ago, lol.

As for my barbies, they were always in horrible car/plane accidents. I performed operations and put casts on them, lol.

 

[♡AimLEE♡]

I would only cry if my parents tickled me ... no wait... I wouldn't cry. I would scream and get mad. I hated it. Tickling is something I loved and didn't understand why ... and I didn't like my parents tickling me for that reason. So you are not alone, Katie! 🙂

 

[cabalist]

I've always hated it and still do.


😉

 

[Capnmad]

>sigh< I didn't have any Barbies. 🙁



...oh, I'm sorry -- that wasn't the question? 😀

But actually, I really, really, REALLY liked tickling from a very young age. I was a deviant since birth, I think -- though for a number of years that knowledge went dormant.

 

[Carsomyr]

Oh man... I hated tickling so bad, and my cousins would always gang up on me... <_<

I'm still not a 'lee, but I no longer "hate" it in the same way. Tickle fights can be fun, so long as I'm the one who's winning! 😀

It was pretty love/hate for me. I grew up in a rather physically unaffectionate family so i never had to worry about being tickled by my parents or anything like that.I remember when i couldn't get away a few times i was teased about how reactive i was to tickling in elem. school. I often found myself shying away from any kind of physical contact from friends pretty much up until i hit about 14. After whole physical contact thing became like an andrenaline rush.. then, about 17, came tickling... rather discovered by accident. It went from a scared rush/sometimes repulsion to almost addicting. Heh, i remember often kicking off my shoes when my bf was around, or finding myself pinned in the floorboard of his car, waiting for time to stop... just so i could see if it was just as awesome each time as it was the time previous.
So i guess to answer the question. If i hadn't had the physical contact phobia, i prolly would have liked it.

 

[26Strings]

i loved being the ler for as long as i can remember. especially on my cousins. but as a lee, i hated it until i was about 14 when my first girlfriend (who liked tickling too) gave it to me good. from then on its been smooth sailin'

 

[eclipse]

I don't know about anybody else, but I found it embarassing to be tickled. Maybe because I'm a naturally shy, easily embarrassed person, or because it was tickling. I was one of those little girls everybody relative, friend, and the neighbor's dog was grabbing to tickle...awful. Probably because I'd squeal and run out of the room (sigh).

I'm pretty sure I had a love-hate relationship with it from the start too, because I'd put myself in ticklish situations and avoid them at the same time. I recall my big brothers taking advantage of my ticklishness quite a few times 😱 I think it was only when I started googling "tickling" constantly around age 15 that I realised that I might be a little too interested

 

[milagros317]

Not me, I've loved being tickled (and tickling) since early childhood. 😀

 

[Rupert]

See i was ticklish as a kid and HATED it (that loss of control/ weakness thing i tend to despise) But loved to be the "tickle monster" (back when you could tickle anyone and it was ok because your just a cute kid)
Of course it changed when i hit puberty and it became really fun 😀
So now the lee in me is gone but the ler Thrives thanks to my Alpha male personality and willing (or close enough 😀 ) lees

This is why you scare me, Rupert. haha

 

[CuteJill143]

if family did it to me I hated it....its not a turn-on if your brother or cousin is doing it to you lol....Friends doing it was more fun. I remember one time my mother got me so bad I was crying cuz I was so pissed off at her for doing it. I think I was nine or ten

 

[Tickle Abuse]

I HATED it as kid, totally terrified of being tickled because of my evil aunts. It's really weird, but almost none of the females in my family on my mother's side are ticklish at all, and all of the men are horribly ticklish, like me. My aunt's used to tickle torture my uncle Herby, he was defenseless, a single finger would render him totally incapable of fighting back. He was the big brother, so he eventually moved out, and my aunts had nobody else to torture. Aunt Liz was the worst, she used to pinch me, taunt me, but one day she decided to tickle me, and it was all over for me, I would never be safe again in my grandparents' home. At least I was only over there occassionally, but when my parents split, my mother, sister and I moved in, life was never the same for me after!

My mother had a full-time job, she worked mostly at night, and so did my other aunts, and evil aunt Liz was in charge of me and my sister. Aunt Liz's best friend, Shelly, was my first crush, she lived a few houses away and was over almost every night. My other aunts used to tickle me a little, but they were somewhat merciful. Liz was the devil as far as I was concerned, she loved watching me suffer, and always tickled me at the most embarrasing times.

One of Liz's duties as our babysitter was to make sure that I took a bath before bed. Liz would wait for Shelly to come over, then make me get in the bath tub. I knew what was coming, but Liz always said that if I didn't do what she said she would tie me up in my sleep and tickle me for an hour. So, I get in the tub and Liz inevitably came in and brought my clothes in the living room. Now to get them back, I had to walk in wearing a towel, which is embarrassing enough for a boy, but she would tickle the crap out of me while I desperately clung to my towel, praying I wouldn't drop it in front of Shelly and any other of Liz's friends who may have been over.

So why didn't I tell my mother and get Liz in trouble? Liz told me she took naked pictures of me when I was sleeping and would give them to Shelly I told my mom, yes, Liz was the devil. Later I found out when I got older and could fight back that Liz is also horribly ticklish, and the reason she was so ruthless to me was because my mother pretty much tickle torture her every chance she got as a kid.

I always wished Shelly would have tickled me, but she never did.

 

[ParanoidChant]

Nah, I used to try and get tickled as often as I could as a kid, egging people on and so forth. I had this babysitter who used to tickle torture me for lord knows what reason, but it eventually got to the point where I was the one antagonizing her into it. (I've noticed a dominant childhood figure who'd tickle mercilessly is a running theme in a lot of our backgrounds ... )

On a side note, I used to play with legos. And now that I think about it ... I may have subjected a few lego soldiers to tickle torture tables in the enemy bases I'd build.

God, we're all dorks, lol.

 

[Ticklerguy4u]

My parents would try to tickle my feet in the morning when I was a kid but I am not very ticklish so it would just get me upset waking me up like that...however, as a ler I am very ruthless. I love to tickle ever since I had my first crush. I would purposely try to tickle cousins although because they were a lot older then me..they didn't take to kindly to it..
