old thread!! well, the first person I told was my first love when I was about 16...I had a close friend before that, around 13/14 that seemed to sort of know, but I never really came out and told her. I'm pretty sure she knew though. My younger brother might have known too, hell he might even like tickling himself...it seemed like we were both kinda 'amazed' at watching another person being tickled, but I never talked to him about it. My mom read some e-mail where I talked about being turned on by tickling to someone from one of the fetish sites...so I guess she knows too, but she never said anything about it, beyond telling me I was stupid for talking about sexual stuff to strangers on the internet (I was only 16 or 17 at the time so I can see why she was upset)... I told a couple guys I dated casually in my early 20s... and my fiance now knows too, I told him a few weeks into our relationship and he was cool with it. And I told one good friend of mine, a gay guy I haven't seen in a few years who told me about some of his fetishes... he teased me about it a bunch but was mostly cool 😀 Jeez, I guess a lot of people know!
