Why tickling?

[reflexology414]

I was recently asked for a detailed answer to this question, and I really couldn't articulate it well enough. Can anyone else share their thoughts as to why tickling is so appealing to them and/or all of us? Jeff from Magic Touch Productions used to have a great article about this on his web site, but it's no longer there.

I'd welcome any responses (and I hope everyone is having a great weekend).

It's the only activity I can think of that mixes playfulness and the type of control/power exchange that I'm looking for. It's versatile in that it can be light, fun, intense, sexy, pleasurable, torturous and/or platonic. It's applicable in so many different types of relationships/scenarios. It's really like reaching into a bottomless bag of awesome 😀

I guess it depends on the indivduial sweets and what you like to do, lee or ler. Some find it errotic, others playful. Some find power in getting somebody to not control there reaction to tickling, other like being cretive with it, and others just enjoy playfighting and a bit of laughter. Laughter is a great way to express yourself and let go of some tension. There is an old saying, different strokes for different folks and that is very true of ya tickling. I think as long as you'll don't let it rule your life, what ever you enjoy about it or what element of it you like, it can bring you a lot of hapiness to you and those around you (if you let them find what there own limits are and don't push to far).

Its a nice way for couples to play BDSM in a kind of friendly not so threatening enviroment. Course I guess that depends on how ticklish you are. LOL 😛

It's like explaining the punchline to a joke. Ruins everything. No, tickling's not a joke, but just like how something funny brings people joy, and they're not sure why, tickling brings us ticklephiles joy, and many of us don't know why -- nor should we need to know why.

If anyone asks "Why tickling?" My response would be: "Why not?"

Bingo.
That is the first thing I thought when I read this thread.

Precisely.

For me it is a sexual thing, and I don't really like it to be playful, I want it intense. Why? I enjoy the feeling, and I enjoy giving me over to the ler and totally losing control. It's ecstasy.

 

[starburstz91]

It's just hot. I like the control the tickler can have over me, the aggression, the fact that it's totally harmless, the verbal teasing..

Fucking awesome.

For me it is an intensly sexual thing that has been deeply engrained in my psyche all my life but I never allowed myself to fully express it until I was much older. So are we born like it or with that tendency or is it something to do with very young, pre pubity sexuality? or something else.

Rhianon I didn't no you liked it intense. With bondage or not?

Because it's a turn on.

Because it seems innocent, but the reality couldn't be further from the truth.

Because through it, you can show your ability to effectively dominant and command not power, but arousal from the other party.

Most women I've found? They are into it, or they are not and satiate the thirst and become surprised at the reaction to it.

And I'm sorry, but a tightly tied female with blindfold over her eyes, at your mercy? And she's allowing it? I can't think of anything hotter.

Because it's not as messy as scat.

[Deleted member 66627]

so says you

I says so.

 

[meangry]

I says so.

You tried scat before?

 

[Deleted member 66627]

You tried scat before?

Nope. But I have;

1.) Seen two girls one cup

and

2.) Changed my son's diaper after an epic bout of diarreah.

I might've not been playing with the shit, but I certainly was handling it in some fashion.

LOL. Epic diarrhea.

So in conclusion;

It's less messier then scat. 😀

I am now around the bend on this. And everyone will feel better now. 🙂

I don't know if I was born with it. I can't remember ever not being turned on by tickling.

And of course with bondage. I can't let myself go without because I'd be constantly worried to hurt the ler.
