Hey-

does anyone have any bad stories about a time they admitted their tickle fetish to someone and it ended badly??? :megafail:

OR a time it ended really well?? 😉 (If you know what i mean)



:chocrabbit:
 
I never have because Americans society, at least, is not ready to accept us.

Case in point: I doubt you heard about this Down Under, but look up "Rex Ryan", "wife", "foot fetish" on Google and you'll a sad tale of a U.S. football coach and his wife, who enjoy foot fetish play together, and who misguidedly posted some videos online. The sports press and other media types have been slamming them as freaks.

:couch:
 
I'm an American, and I've admitted my fetish to at least 4 or 5 people. I can honestly say I've never had a bad experience with it. The worst it's gotten has been, "Wow. I don't think I'd be into that". And yet she STILL explored it with me a bit, though she was right about not being into it.

The best I've gotten was an evil laugh and a "Oh really?"

I think as long as there's a level of friendship and trust between you and the person you're telling, you'll be fine. Most people are not going to scream and run away.

Unless it's a stranger on the subway, and you're naked when you sit on their lap and whisper it in their ear.
 
I haven't really told many people but the people I have told have been cool with it. My girlfriend in particular lets me indulge in it. The main reaction I've had is "oh that's cute".

All in all very positive.
 
i've told lots of people.
always ends up well with lots of tickles in the end. 🙂
 
Regarding the Rex Ryan thing. The media jumped all over this in NY but most of the callers into the NY sport station were really critical of the hosts. Most thought it was really a non-issue and a personal matter between two consenting adults. I think it's how you present it. IMHO, If you're in a healthy relationship it seems to be a non-issue.
 
Nothing really came of me telling the few people i told =/. It like went in to the void. I guess that aint bad
 
I've never told anyone about my tickle fetish but I told a friend about my other fetish and... yah, nothing happened.

Sometimes I wonder if I ever actually told her.
 
a lot of people do know of my tickle fetish but thankfully i havent had a bad reaction to it unless they have the most incredible poker face in the world
 
I tryto keep it on the dl.... the people that do know are pretty cool with it however. Just a lot of playful pokes and foot scratches.

Hmm, I wonder just how much different girls have it vs. guys when coming out about this sort of thing. When I imagine a girl coming out, it's to "you like being tickled?? sounds sexy!" but when a guy comes out "you like being tickled? You're a creep" for most people. I wonder how far off my presumptions are. Maybe a poll is in order!
 
I usually just tell girls that I am dating. I don't see how any good could come from telling friends that I wouldn't want to tickle anyways.
 
my boyfriend thinks it's adorable and "so lovely." he's totally into it....definitely the best reaction I could have hoped for.
 
Back months and months ago I started dating a guy who, as far as I knew, was completely vanilla. After going on a few dates, I ended up showing him not only the forum, but fetlife as well, and my account there that listed every fetish. He was intruiged and ended up coming to the conclusion that he wanted to try these things (like tickling) down the road because he found it to be interesting/intruiging/what have you. It was definitely something he wanted to try, so good experience here!
 
Women won't have an issue with it being that, let's be honest here, it's something where she's saying she wants your hands on her. Funny as it is to think about it, tickling and bondage and all that are extremely vanilla in comparison to SM or scat or farting or furries (with SM probably on the between scales of acceptable while the others are persona-non-grata offenses). It's a lot more socially acceptable because it is innocuous in scope with the ability to add as much intensity/spice as desired.

But a lot of dudes would be plenty happy burrowing into a furry costume if a lady said it revved her engine, so I sincerely doubt that there are tangible issues there. And, again to be honest, there aren't real tangible issues with guys as well. I had relationships in college and before then that I confided my fetish, and I got the gambit of "oh that's different", "oh that's cute", "what's that about"? If you are asking someone to be a lee, there is going to be apprehension, but I've never actually had an issue with it being acceptable in any relationship I've been in. Actually, beyond that, I've had partners who went out of their way to indulge me.

It's all in how you go about it and how you present yourself. If you come off as this strong creeper, yeah, there's going to be folks that are all like "hell naw, you freak!" And I'm telling you this as a guy who looks more Seth Rogan than Brad Pitt.
 
I will give you the best reaction and the worst reaction.

The best reaction: back in 2001. I began dating a girl which was all well and good. After about three weeks or so I got talking sexual things and what we are into. I mentioned the foot fetish and thats no biggy and then I approached the tickling topic and she reacted with "are you kidding me? I frickin love being tickled!! I thought is was the only one!" Needless to say how it went down that night.

The worst reaction: I was dating a girl and we were talking on the phone one night. I managed to squeeze into the conversation we were having that I love to tickle to tickle. This girl gave me a polite reaction but didn't add to it. Within that minute she said she had to get going and that was the last time I ever heard from her! Dust in the wind.
 
Hmmm, no i agree. I think that girls have it easier than boys. But i think a male ler has it easier than a male lee. I could be wrong. But it's easier to tickle someone than request that they tickle you.....

You're right on target Ticklechambers. I totally agree.
 
I have told women I was dating and, with one or two exceptions, it turned out badly. The only "good" results I remember were one woman who wasn't at all ticklish and another, who told me "you can tie me up and tickle me anytime you want" and 2 years later, after we were married, she told me tickling is a sickness and I needed treatment. Needless to say, we are currently in the divorce process.
Now, I've learned that if a woman rejects me for being who I am, then she is not the woman for me, anyway, so I just move on.

I wrote a post a long time ago about when I "came out" to my current boyfriend (heading towards fiance department at this point). It was the best thing that ever, ever happened to me. Admittedly, I've never had a bad experience. Dudes seem to be into tickling. I think it's different for the other way around, though.

Wow that's a pretty lame outcome! Was that just out of her being angry at something or did she always think that?

Not sure, to be honest. My best guess (since she won't discuss it) is that she was willing to say anything to move the process along when we were first dating. Once we were married, there was no need to feed my fantasy, therefore it was unnecessary. The suggestion that it was a sickness that needed treatment was one of many examples of exaggerated reactions displayed over the last 6 years which led to the split.
