Being ticklish as a grown ass man is kinda embarrassing but makes it more fun lol

[Anonymous786]

Hey all, I'm 23 years old and have always been super ticklish. I dunno what happened but everyone used to tickle me as a kid so maybe that has something to do with it? But I got into tickling somehow. I was already embarrassed about being super ticklish to the point I'd be on the floor laughing and wiggling like a worm but the fact that I was kinda into it made it more embarrassing for me whenever it came up. every relationship I have been in (been in 3 total), my gf naturally found out I was ticklish because I was kinda shy to ever bring it up, idk how it always happened but I got tickled, she found out and it ALWAYS became a running gag between us to tickle me, sometimes I'd tickle back but mostly I'd be the one getting tickled. It's kind of a blessing Ig that it always happens itself but there are situations where being ticklish can be a hindrance too and especially with me liking it, it can be ULTRA embarrassing. Like going to a doctor or for example I go to the gym and whenever I wanna show off my progresses, anyone who feels my muscles ends up making me laugh. Kind of a weird irony where I am "Showing off my manly gAiNz" but I end up laughing when touched in certain areas.

You're right haha, I enjoy it too but I'm kinda yk in the closet about liking this so I never tell anyone. Would love to talk about tickling with someone haha. This is the only place I have seen where people are into the same thing.

Lol I’m with you. Much though I love it, there are times when it causes embarrassment, like when someone hits a spot while we’re practicing a move at the dojo lol. Hilarious, but awkward lol

I use to feel that way.... I really don't anymore. Not sure why. Maybe cause I am older. Now it's more like Popeye said "I am what I am and that's all that I am"

I think primarily after I got very sick then recovered to an extent. That was about 5 years ago. I guess i just didn't care anymore what people thought.

Okay soooo I’m the same way. I’m usually a ler but sometimes I’ll swap and be a lee. Once the person I just tickled the crap out of discovers how ticklish I AM, it’s an even more fun session for them. Our sessions include the lee being secured to a table in leather restraints so there’s no escape. Imagine being a grown ass man, strapped to a table and have a female put her nails all over your bare feet as you scream, giggle, laugh and plead for mercy. Yeah it’s super embarrassing.

It's terribly embarrassing. It's the perceived incongruity of it, I think -- the assumption that you, as an adult male, aren't supposed to be so ticklish. The level of surprise and amusement expressed by women when they find out that you're ticklish, the gentle mockery and teasing, the shared understanding that receding and retreating and giggling aren't robust masculine behaviors. And I think the fact that your male ticklishness is understood to be an anomaly thereby grants the discoverer wide latitude -- permission, even -- to exploit that weakness repeatedly and at length.

Has to do with innate male/masculine ego.

As much as it's considered weak to be a ticklish man , I think it's a good thing , I honestly love the concept that a smaller "weaker" person( a girl ) could completely overpower me (6'1) and make me submit using something as cute as tickling....

Like even though I might have bigger muscles I can still lose a tickle fight and that is a beautiful concept...

I think this is the thing that makes me not laugh when Im tickled, I kind of just squirm uncomfortably, and moan here and there. I can even turn it off if I try really hard, I genuinly hate the sound of my own laugh and am super self-conscious about it.

I've always loved tickling but being so deathly ticklish stopped me from switching for a long time. I always thought I should come with a warning sign.
"Extremely Ticklish-Tickle At Own Risk!" Lol
Yes most people are ticklish, yes ticklish reactions can be extreme and uncontrollable, but when you're going crazy, bucking like a bronco, laughing uproariously, and begging for it to end, you can't help but feeling a bit embarrassed.
Thankfully, especially to people on this platform I've realised that I'm not the only hyper ticklish switch going around. And now I'm very comfortable n my own skin.

This is very well said. I've definitely overcome some of that with time, but only in very trusted environments.

I aspire to be more like Popeye in that regard. I could probably also use more spinach in my diet, but one thing at a time! 😂
