New here so hello as well
Well, I'm 43 and have been into feet and tickling since I was about 5 or 6 (early exposure seems to be a fairly common theme). I don't remember anything really specific other than there was a girl (couple years older as I recall) who lived across the street that I played with and we became quite close. Many times she and I would crawl under the bed and I would take off her shoes and socks (unless it was summer when she was mostly barefoot). I would tickle her relentlessly, but she never seemed to mind. In fact, she always tried so hard to laugh quietly to protect our "secret". I don't guess it's possible to be "sexual" at that age, but I definitely experienced a pleasant sensation. I think this became associated in my mind with pleasure (bit of amateur psychology there). After I found out what most young boys eventually discover, masturbation, it did become a sexual thing. I don't remember when this was, but around 10ish?
From then on, I had a foot fetish and tickling fetish (though I didn't know what a fetish was till my early 20's). The tickling fetish expanded in time to cover the whole body, but the feet have and still are the favorite spot for me. I always tried to come up with games (doctor, spy, etc) that would give me an opportunity to tickle. My favorite was to form a club and anyone that joined, I performed a "reflex test"; this was always followed up multiple times. I would have my subject lie in the floor on their stomach. I would lie lengthwise on the floor beside the bed (the bedspread hid my "floor humping"). I would then tickle their feet until I came. I would also sometimes blindfold them and tickle their torsos. I did this constantly to my step-sister (couple of years younger than me) over many years. She was incredibly ticklish, but never denied me and like my first little "girlfriend", would laugh silently into a pillow. I stopped this when she became a teenager, because in my mind, it was becoming a bit too sexual (and potentially incestuous even though we were not blood relatives) in my mind. Though many times I'm sure she was tempting me (showing off her feet, picking at me trying to "punish her). I sincerely regret not pursuing a relationship with her (sweet and beautiful as well as ticklish), but at that age you don't always see things for what they are. I did (and still do) truly love her (more than just a sibling) and I think she had the same or similar feelings for me. But life went on and now we are both happily married. Ironically, my mother and her dad divorced a year after I married. I have a beautiful wife with beautiful and ticklish feet, so I'm not complaining.
Another thing I have to confess and I am admittedly still confused about after all these years. First let me say that I am not gay and have no desire to have sex with a man in the understood ways that it is done. I have nothing against being gay and I'm not a homophobe. However, going back to the early years, I found that I was equally "turned on" by male feet and ticklish torsos; I still am to this day. When I was a boy, I obviously had more male friends and tickled them using the previously described methods. I had a best friend that I constantly tickled. In fact, I have probably tickled more guys than girls. I guess the feet and torsos kind of became "objects" that I associated with tickling (more two bit psychology). I've not tickled a guy since my teens, but still have the desire to do so. If anyone else has this experience (gay or not) and wants to discuss it; email me

Like many of you, for many years I thought I was strange, one of a kind. It wasn't until my mid 20's and the Internet that I became aware that there were other like or similar to myself. It has been a great relief. Maybe some young folks will benefit and not grow up feeling weird or guilty. I finally realized that liking feet was no different than liking breasts or butts (although generally accepted as the norm); they are simply sexual objects
Well, I didn't mean to write a book, but it felt good to share this.
