Meditations on the tickling of feet

Gotta love the poetry here. I agree with nearly everyone on this subject.
But the one thing that's never been mentioned is that the feet have the most nerve endings over any other place in the body. The nervous system is electrical in nature, and the feet are the grounding. (If you've ever been in a soundproof room, youd hear a high pitched humming sound. That's the sound of the nervous system.)
I myself am also a foot fanatic, and when I see a woman with her bare feet proped up, this is the heaven on earth that we keep hearing about. (To paraphrase an old bluegrass song, If heaven isn't like this, than I don't wanna go.)
I generally like to tickle and be tickled all over, but the feet hold a special magic of their own. The sensations there travel up the entire length of the body, and drown the brain in endorfins. Can anything be better than this?

why do we mostly want to tickle feet?
that's a question I've always ask myself
I think it's because the feet are mostly the most ticklish spot
what do you think?

whoa there partner! speak for yourself!
i do have a foot "thing", but i prefer to tickle underarms, and groin creases, due to getting the best responses there. i have found feet to be among the least ticklish spots on the women that i have tickled.

I guess I'm among the minority whose feet aren't as ticklish as most other spots. I don't consider feet anything special, but to each their own.

Interesting sidenote: a male friend of mine and I were on my couch the other day, me half lying down with my feet towards him, and all of a sudden he grabs my right foot and says "Can I do something?" Even though I'm self-conscious about my feet I'm always up for anything, so I say sure. He pulls off my sock, hooks his legs around mine, grabs a pen and starts writing and drawing on the sole of my foot. No one's ever done that before, but it was wonderful. My feet are only moderately ticklish, so I was laughing and twitching my foot but not really trying to pull away. He did the same with my other foot until they were both covered in ink. And he's not even a tickler or a foot guy. We were talking about it afterwards and I said that my feet had so many dry patches I'm surprised he could stand to look at them. He said "Well, it's not like they're breasts or anything." I found that really funny. How little he knows! Maybe I should show him this thread

I enthusiastically agree with those who remarked about the potential sensitivity of feet. Lots of nerve-endings and sometimes an underlying connection to nervous pathways that run up the leg and even upper (the naughtier parts, to make it clear!). If it's not just about tickling, I did meet girls who simply adored and melted when getting a nice foot massage and could go wild with pleasure for that alone! So feet are potentially highly erogenous as an area, and, well, tickling is just one more kind of stimulus we can apply.... 😉
Then, personally, I like feet in themselves, visually speaking, but the good ol'legs get my preference in that respect. And what's more viewable than a nice pair of legs once you're playing with the footsies and the tootsies at one end?? It adds to the erotic touch of tickling, in my opinion...
Last, but not least... Feet are one of the most intimate parts, in the sense that they're usually out of reach. If you're playing with a lady's feet then that implies connection, affection, reciprocal availability (better English terms??) and such. Openness to reciprocal contact? And that, the emotional aspect, is also highly erotic to me... 🙂

[The Last Laugh]

I agree that the main reason why feet seem to be the most popular tickling target among ticklephiles is that many are also have a foot fetish/interest. However, I wouldn't say that feet are the most ticklish body part in general. For some people, certainly, but my experience with recruting models for my videos has showed me that it's easier to find models that are very ticklish on their sides/belly or armpits than on their feet. That can be a little frustrating, because while I don't neglect other body parts, I tend to favor feet in my videos whenever possible. I'm actually surprised to see how relatively few people are really ticklish on their feet. I expect to have an easier time when I started my video project.

Of course, this may be partly due to psychological factors. Getting tickled for a video, which is a planned thing, with a camcorder, the producer in the same room, possibly in bondage, maybe with performance stress, etc., is a very different experience than receiving a spontaneous tickle from a friend, family member or girl/boyfriend in everyday life. I can't count the times I've tested a candidate who claimed to be very ticklish but turned out to have disappointing reactions during an audition (which is why I do auditions, otherwise I'd end up paying a lot of mediocre tickling models). So my experience with ticklish reactions is very much influenced by the special conditions of the auditions and video shoots I do.

If anything, the ticklishness of the feet may be even more affected in many people. As someone pointed out, feet aren't as easy to tickle as other body part. They can be tricky. You may need a special technique, get them just the right way. They may be too cold or too sweaty for good results. Also, I suppose there may be a certain "embarrassment" factor involved. I mean, to the models I'm basically a stranger, and there they are exposing their bare feet, often in bondage, so that they can be tickled silly. Not always a comfortable situation. Feet are kind of intimate, and some people find them ugly or gross no matter what they look like. They're very insecure about them. So maybe they are more shy about their feet than other body parts, and that can very well affect their ticklishness, usually in a negative way (a few are actually more ticklish when they're nervous or embarrassed, but in my experience they're exceptions, not the rule).

I realize that the conditions under which I do auditions and shoot commercial videos may not be ideal for getting the best reactions with foot tickling, or even other body parts for that matter (not that I have much of a choice how I do a shoot, as I can't exactly follow someone around in everyday life and film spontaneous tickle attacks). But I still think that, as traditional as feet are as tickling target and as fun as they are to tickle, they're not in first place as far as sensitivity is concerned. I mean overall, not specific people, as some do indeed have excruciatingly sensitive feet.

 

[pghtickleguy]

I myself like tickling feet for the challenge. It is very hard to get to feet unless they are exposed which makes it easy. I know myself the crazy ways that I use to get them are funny. I also like it when just as your ready to tickle, the girl will beg you please not my feet. I even remember a tickle fight I had when the girl said No fair no feet tickling and was balled up instantly!!!!!!!! Just from experience and I've tickled a few people Tickling goes to a different level when you go for there feet. I know I love giving a foot massage and almost every female I have given one to tells me something about being careful because they have ticklish feet. Total music to my ears!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SillyMan]

I have read through this thread and find it interesting.

I must say honestly, that the feet is not my favorit spot to tickle. Could be because I'm not really a foot fetichist (not that I can't consider a women's feet cute and nice).

The other side of that is that upperbody tickling actually gives better interaction with the ticklee because of the better eyecontact. And that's half the joy of tickling for me.

My feet, as everybody knows (or should know by now), are extremely ticklish, which is one of the reasons I react so strongly to feathers. It's true that my underarms run a close second, and the rest of me, third, and that I love being tickled all over, but my feet are my most ticklish spot, and out of my tickle friends, only Judy isn't most ticklish on her feet (Hips are HER weak spot!). Annie, between the toes, Paige, on the balls of her feet when her toes are bent back. As for hard to get at, ours isn't a normal situation, since we go barefoot in each other's presance often, and it's easy to scoop up an ankle, or sit on the legs. We do delight in tickling other areas, too, I'm just saying most of the women I've tickled have increadably ticklish feet.

 

[tickleshotel]

Well, when I first developed this "passion" as a young man, I had no idea why what-so-ever...all I knew was I craved tickling females feet. Maybe it was cartoons, or something my parents did to me or whatever? As I have matured (yeah...right!!!) I now have my own personal reasons. First, I just love well taken care of female feet...to me they are beautiful. Next, the feet to me are a challenge to tickle which makes it more intreging than other parts of the body even though I love tickling anywhere. I am sure we all have experienced the "foot tickling injuries" from flying, kicking legs...so it therfore becomes a quest to figure out the best method to capture your victims feet and hold them still. I also love the way the foot flexes and the toes wiggle while being tickled...a major rush...BUT...the part I love the best is that to me the laughter is "different" then when you tickle other parts of the body (naturally on a woman who is totally ticklish on her feet)...it's like a screaming type of "I'm going out of my mind" kinda laughter...it's like it reaches a new level. Since I am on a roll, I also dig when you have someone tied/racked down and you slowly remove the socks allowing the air to gently caress their souls, building the anticipation...at this point they are usually begging "Please, not my FEET" or they are already starting to giggle/laugh...that is awesome....agreed?

Over the years I have also noticed a few things that are relative in this thread. I have met many, many females who are tickish everywhere EXCEPT their feet. You can tickle them right down to their ankle, but as soon as you hit the feet, a big zero. But, then there is the opposite. I have also met many women who were tickish NOWHERE else EXCEPT their feet, and they are the ones that I have my fondest foot tickling memories of. They were ALL off the scale and some so ticklish you could tickle them through the sides of thin sneakers! I remember one girl who could not even walk across grass without it tickling her, and yes, she soon felt the wrath of daddy soon after 🙂 needless to say! (GO ME!)

Another thing, and maybe it's just me, but I have never met (or should I say tickled) a redhead who wasn't majorly ticklish on her feet. Maybe it's because redheads have more sensative skin or something...who knows...just an observation.

Ok...I've rambled enough

peace out,
daddy

Daddy!!,Your absolutely correct about the Ticklee going crazy
from Anticipation,I can relate totally as the Ticklee 🙂.From
what you just said,you reinforced my craving to meet you
someday and to be tickled by you 😉LOL..I am so insanely ticklish
on my feet that just by slowwllyy unlacing my shoelaces before
removing my shoes,I would be squirming frantically and laughing
,squealing if the Tickler ran a fingertip up my socked sole as
he removed the shoe hhehehe...While my feet are my most insanely
ticklish spot,I am also extremely ticklish under my arms ,ribs,
and my bellybutton hhhehe..

I'll admit I've always enjoyed tickling feet more....

But I've never shyed away from tickling girls anywhere they were ticklish.....around the waist, under their arms, etc. I've gotten great reactions from girls who were ultra-ticklish on their necks....they'd go wild instantly, and burst into laughter.

When we were growing up, my favorite place to seek tickling revenge against my bratty younger sister was her knees....I could just touch the back of either knee (or just above her knees in front), and Becky would totally lose it....I've seen her fall in the floor from being tickled there. As ticklish as she is under her arms and on her bare feet, sis's knees may actually be her the most ticklish spot.

Nothing is more fun than tickling a ticklish woman under her arms and down her sides to her tummy. They'll curl into a ball and go crazy laughing....that's one advantage vs tickling feet. If a girl is extremely ticklish under her arms and around her waist, there's no way to make herself less vunerable (as opposed to toughtening her soles with callouses, as many southern girls do in spring and summer months).

Saying all that, I do (and always have) enjoy tickling a lady on her bare feet more than anywhere else, especially if she's tied up (as my g/f allowed me to do to her last week). I have a huge foot fetish, and just seeing Traci's wrists, knees & ankles bound and big toes tied together was a trememdous turn on....it all goes back to the "helpless heroine/ damsels in distress" roleplay I've loved since childhood; having her bound, helpless, and at my mercy....those soft pink soles soooh ticklish, her cute little toes wiggling in ticklish anticipation.

Even though I know I'd never do anything to resemble torture or take advantage of her helplessness (I'm a playful "teddy bear", not sadistic)....and Traci knows it, it's still so sensually powerful to me....and as I learned, equally stimulating to her (she loved the feeling of being bound, helpless, vunerable....a real-life version of "Penelope Pitstop", awaiting her tickling interrogation by the villian, trying her best not to break, trying to be brave and not tell the secrets, even though we both knew she would. 🙂

Anyway, that's my perspective from a guy who's enjoyed tickling most of my life....yet is just now living out some of the fantasies I've dreamed about since high school. Tickling a willing and lovely woman is fun anywhere she's ticklish, but is definitely more enjoyable to me if her bare feet are a primary target 🙂

 

[GEORGIATKLER]

ONCE AGAIN PERRY, YOU HIT THE TICKLING NAIL ON THE HEAD. I PROBABLY WILL ALWAYS PREFER FEET (FETISH ALERT!!). BUT I'M NOT TOO PROUD TO POKE A CUTE SET OF RIBS WHEN I CAN GET THE CHANCE.

 

[$Tickletorturer]

How'd I miss this one

Well time for my 2 cents. First off I do have somewhat of a foot fetish. Well kept and healthy feet are definatly attractive. I often check out women's feet when they are wearing sandals and such.

Now onto the tickling part. For starters I'll repeat the difficulty of getting to the feet, in comparison to the oter major tickle targets, feet are by far the most difficult to get at. I mean if the victim is standing, you must somehow get her off her feet before you can even begin to tickle them.

I find it strange that I didn't see this mentioned but did you notice just how many spots on the feet you can tickle? There's the heel, the arch, the balls of the feet, under/between the toes and heck even on top of the foot. As for the other tickle targets it's more or less just one spot. The armpits, ribs, sides, bellybutton etc... The foot is like the buffet of tickling, there's so much to choose from and you don't quite know where to start.

As for ticklishness that varies depending on the person. However in serveral studies I've read several state the feet are the most ticklish. I even recall one that said the right foot was gernerally the most ticklish spot out of all the people they tested.

Another thing I'd like to add is the visual appeal of the foot. I guess this goes with the foot fetish thing but I like nail polish on the toenails. Gives 'em a very feminen look in my opinion. But also when tickled the victim can wriggle the toes and flail the foot in an attempt to escape the tickling. Now depending on the bondage if any being used this will vary. But because of the foot's location on the extreme end of a limb and it's ability to move so much makes it more fun to tickle. It's not like the armpit can really move while being tickled. Not to rag on it or anything, just proving my point.

Well that's about all I have to say. No matter what I'll tickle the victim wherever she's ticklish but hooray for ticklish feet!! 😀

 

[Traveler]

I had to female cousins used to give them foot massages all the time.Then,one day I tickled one of them and it's foot tickling ever since.Foot fetishist is such a broad term.I like feet but,not into all the foot worship or trampling or whatever.I like tickling feet and massaging.And,in my opinion women like having there feet massaged🙄

 

[steph]

ummmmm, SLIGHT understatement...<gg>

XOXO

And,in my opinion women like having there feet massaged🙄

 

[mrhm53755]

There have been numerous times I have tied a woman up and tickled her and not once even touched her feet. So needless to say feet are not my thing.

[foottickler1983]

My guess is that a lot of ticklefans come from the foot fetish corner, so it's not really a miracle that many of us prefer to tickle feet.

Yes, same for me. I have a strong foot-fetish so I like to tickle feet. And often feet are a very ticklish spot for a girl.

 

[eironchard]

I remember seeing a video explaining that feet are somehow connected to sexual organs, or something like that. That is the reason people find them sexy and erotic. Feet are the best place to tickle in my book, and I am not a feet-fetishist, they just seem to be the most arousing to me. Not that I don't enjoy other areas, but feet are the best.

[3xPIN]

It is harder to block the feet and easier to sneak up on them. Also the taboo of touching feet and that you never normally see them unless you look. there are many reasons for different people.

I want my feet to be tickled because I feel the tickling sensation run all the way up my body. Through my legs and up my back, penatrating every part of me! what is not to love. (little off topic but still)

 

[GC4AH]

I am a foot fetishist so obviously my favourite place to tickle is the feet. I just find them really cute and love the amount of movement you can get out of them whereas other parts of the body can't really move that much. I love to see toes wiggling while I'm tickling them. I love to tickle other parts of the body too but feet is my specialist area.

 

[hyped_up]

i think it's because the feet are usually the hardest to get, and people like a challenge

i mean take your average person... standing straight up:

ribs are accessible
stomach is accessible
neck...
knees...

the underarms are kind of hidden..but they are easier to get to then the soles of the feet which requires getting the soles exposed...may that be having the lee sit, lay, as well as, any shoes or socks that are in the way.

 

[wishfoot88]

usually, for me, because they are the most easily trapped and get the best reaction.

 

[love feet]

The feet are a neutral body part meaning they will more willing to let you do thangs with there feet before other parts of there body!

 

[girlboundforfun]

Not for me.

My feet are very pretty and really not very ticklish. My torso and especially my underarms are are almost too ticklish. You can always massage my feet, but the thought of having my arms above my head and my armpits open to you are the images that get me.

Even seeing a woman with her arms up does this for me.

 

[Adam]

Aside from the foot fetish aspect, there is a certain challenge to it. Of the "big 3", the feet are easily the most inaccessible place on the body to tickle. Plus, at least for me, there's something about the way feet look when being tickled. It's cute seeing all the squirming, curling and whatnot.
