Are you open about your tickling fetish?

[Jade-Pegasus1]

I have no intention of EVER telling ANYONE about my foot tickling fetish, except, MAYBE my girlfriend/wife if I ever get one. But, probably not =P

 

[sole seeker1]

I voted no, because I'm only open about it with my significant other.

Way I figure it, it's no one else's business.

 

[Magician1]

Well other than you lovely folks here at Tickletheatre noone else knows about preferances for tickling its a secret i have hidden since i became a teenager and i hope to god none of my friends find out they would probably rip me to shreds about it.

 

[Tellurium1]

Never told anyone about this, since most people won't understand how I can like this, or how to get turned on by it (Most people don't. It's the truth.). If they somehow manage to know, I'd just tell them there are weirder and worse fetishes.

 

[rael]

i voted no, because the only person who knows is my sweet angel cousin jen (her sexy feet still fill my fantasies - i adore her!). she wasn't ticklish really, but used to let me tickle and touch her sweet feet when we were just hitting puberty. we don't even talk about it anymore. she also liked getting her toes sucked. she sort of initiated it with me one night without saying anything. sucks that we keep these secrets even from ourselves sometimes. her feet still drive me crazy. she's a bbw, but that's one of my other fetishes. too bad we're related.

 

[ghirighiri]

i tolded it only one person (my ex girlfriend)

 

[mart]

Well, here goes...
Until recently I was not even open about it to myself. I discussed it once or twice with my wife and then never again, as if it didn't realy matter. It was when I first got a computer a year ago and saw on a completely unrelated photo site the words "ticklingvideos..net" somewhere on a sidestrip, opened up the site and saw what I saw that I became aware for the first time that I was not the only person in the world that was this weird.
I could understand other fetishes, somehow, like bondage, sadism and so on, but had an absolute aversion to them. I try to live my life according to values like truth, honesty, goodwill, respect for others and so on, and in my own mind, these fetishes, including my own, stood in direct contradiction to that.
Am I going to be open?... I don't think so, though if someone seriously asked me I probably wouldn't lie about it. But no-one ever has, or has even mentioned the fetish in my presence, which leads me to suspect it will be a secret for a while longer.

 

[BondageObsessed1]

I'm open about all my fetishes (bondage, tickling..etc). Of course I don't walk down the street and just announce it to random people. My friends know all about it though. Some don't really get it, kind of the way I don't get the whole marriage thing. Others find it amusing. None of my close friends share any of my fetishes though.

My family also knows, to a degree. My mother was the first person I talked to about all of this when I was 14 and she made me completley comfortable about everything. I grew up in a very open family though, my mother is a therapist and my father is a "head shrinker" so they gave me many great tools to feel comfortable in my own skin.

One thing I can say about being open about my fetish is that it has lead to opportunities that I would never have come across if I just kept it to myself.

 

[i'mbeggingyou]

not open

I'm not open about how I love to be tickled with anyone except for my boyfriend, but of course he LOVES to tickle. MAN, we have fun! LOL

 

[jonareed]

My wife and one former girlfriend are the only ones who know about it. It works out great for us because the wife is a complete tickle fetishist. She's quite dominant with a bit of a sadistic streak (although not into pain, nor am I) and just loves tickling me to hysterics. We also practice T&D for me, which she just loves.

Just like "i'mbeggingyou", we have FUN!

 

[MRV112]

It's hard, but being open about this and talking about my tickle fetish is UN-UNDERSTANDABLE for 99% of ppl around, and I won't risk for that 1%.
But if someone, someday asks me about it, I'll be open, hopefully! (My GF I wish 😀)

 

[c_tickler]

I had to confess to my gf - she said i shouldnt of kept it from her after 1 year, but i did and she even agreed to play along, it was soo excting...... we had the house to our selves and i got to hog tie her and tickle her feet - we even went out to buy some lingerie and some black stockings
IT WAS GREAT.........
And we can get to do it again and again (yippee)

 

[Nakor]

A couple of friends know, and I tell people I'm dating if the relantionship goes on for a while. I'm not really hiding it from people, frankly most people have no need to know. As far as people I date, I generally see no reason to bring it up right away, and as far as how most of my friends would take it, tho I do know the fact that a brought it up at all I'd never hear the end of. None of us care about that aspect of each others lives, plus I have to say I probly wouldn't wanna hear about whatever fetishes my friends have either.

 

[Kujman1]

They usually figure it out just about the time I'm clasping the locks on the stocks....

 

[Vyse]

whoa man 666 votes, creepy! (but i bet by the time anyone reads this, the votes would have gone up).

 

[diddywc]

I'm open with it, sooner or later people wil lfind out about it so it is better to put it out there from the get go than to have it caught people off guard in the future and make them look completely differently at you.

 

[Spillone]

Unfortunately I'm not

 

[-Kunoke-]

I'm open with it, sooner or later people wil lfind out about it so it is better to put it out there from the get go than to have it caught people off guard in the future and make them look completely differently at you.

Well said. If you conceal yourself from the beginning, and make people work to find out about you, then they don't even know the real you! If people are not willing to accept who you are, and your personality (your fetish being a big part of that if things get serious 😉) then they arn't who you want to pal around with. Once you find a group of people who know about you and respect you for it, you can feel a lot better about yourself. I know once I let it go, my life felt a lot more free, and actually, when girls learned of my "weakness" so to speak, they used it against me, and hey, you won't get a single complaint from me if you let me tickle you. In fact, it would be an honor. Those who would make fun of who you are are just insecure about themselves. Don't let it get to you, you'll miss out on the infinate oppertunities you could be experiencing!

 

[Betchass1]

Lots of people tickle their girlfriends spontaneously, as a game. It is overtly sexual, and it is very "acceptable". Which is to say, it pisses off older people, but it is not uncommon for it to happen right out on the street. I'm guessing it is probably those of us who think of it as a fetish who do it less!

No, well I am still in school, and I am sure most people would think I am weird to have such a fetish. Many people are ignorant of fetishes in general. If you tell someone you have something like a foot fetish, they look down on you. One friend of mine stated, "Why do people have feet fetishes anyway? There are boobs and stuff that are better!". Now, don't get me wrong, I like the rest of the female anatomy, and bit I also like their feet. It is the ignorance of people like this that I am talking about, and I am sure many more people do not understand the tickling fetish, and if they do not understand, then they will hate it and make sun of those who do. Unfortunately, that is why I do not tell anyone. I have a girlfriend, and she does not even know because of my fear that she will be be afraid of it (since she does not know about tickle fetishes) and will dump me. So that is my reason for not being open with it.

 

[Inocent_Angel]

i couldnt say weather im open about it or not? : ) i was just telling some guy i play online cards with about it, all he said was "you could have picked a more interesting fetish" : D hahaha!

 

[TheDubliner1]

I really am conserved about it. People I have met online know of it but people I know in real life, my best friend knows it (who thinks I am a total weirdo) and recently, my girlfriend found out. The best part of her finding out is that I tell her everything and I was really embarassed/shy to tell her this, yet it came out and she thinks it's really cute that I have this. Her exact words are "Well, I think it's a cute little fetish you have. I'd rather have you tickling my ribs than fondling my boobs anyway, lol!". She's really ticklish too, so I have my fun and she has never actually said "stop" when I tickle her, which is cool of her to just understand my little playful fetish.

I love her so much =)

 

[TheChameleon]

Well, here's the thing. The REASON why I am not open. I wouldn't get tickled as much. Hands down, thats the reason.

For example, my lady friends tickle the CRAP outta me, but I think if I told them I liked it, since we's "just friends an' all" that it would somehow... disturb the balance, and no more Chameleon tickle torture sessions... see the problem there?

 

[TheDubliner1]

good point, chameleon

 

[zzyzx123]

No way, man. They'd think I was nuts. I told a few trusted friends though.

 

[ftmench]

Most people at my local pub of 14 years know, and I get dates because of it.
Be open.
