Did your parents ever find you out?

[Tenebrae]

I went to nest twice and twice it was with tickleshotel as my roommate. Well what you remember about tickleshotel is one she loves tickling, and two she is really really short. So my mom could not figure out why I was going to a gathering of this group that frankly was so secretive, apparantly my mom made a guess and even though it was wrong I never corrected her on it, you see she though being that tickleslhotel was four foot six that the gathering was for short people(Dwarves), so to kind of milk this along I took a picture of Laurie and Irishgirl together. When I showed the pic to mom I made it a point of mentioning both there heights. I think that my mom thinks we all watch movies with Ewoks and munchkins by watching the wizard of oz over and over again. Anyway during a heart to heart talk I elaborated it was a fetish and offered to tell them and my father said I was an adult and needed no explanation. But the short people convention really causes a lot of interesting images doesnt it

Lol I'd rather tell my parents I'm into tickling than this That story is priceless, though~

Speaking of NEST. I remember meeting an American vanilla girl from Pennsylvania and telling her that I'd visit her there one day because "a group of friends of mine have this tradition to throw a yearly gathering at a hotel in Philly every year" 😀 And you know what? She innocently said: "Oh, that is an awesome tradition!" Then I thought, glancing at her perfect feet: "Well, you'd be welcome there I'm sure" 🙄

They probably know because back when I was in High School, my laptop was stolen (with a bunch of tickle videos on it), and eventually it turned up on someone who bought it from the thief. So my dad took it to make sure everything was good with it (looking through files and such), so he probably saw my large collection. Not sure if my mom knows, but she might. I would've been more embarrassed, but because I once was on the family computer and saw some weird shit in the search bar, I knew people in my family were into way weirder stuff than me. I was just happy to get my laptop back.

My mom found out when I was 13. She called it crap and weird and started yelling about it. No one else was home but I'm sure she told my dad and my sister because they all treat me like crap.

Not sure if my mom found out although I did get what seemed to be a rather pointed warning about being careful who I talk to online lol

...my dad earned his MBA 27 years ago, it went to his head and he feels like he's always the smartest person in the room everywhere he goes. He's a bit disconnected from reality.

Lol, if degrees were a measure of intelligence, refinement and culture, maybe he would be entitled to "let it get to his head". But honestly, it is far from being the case

The diploma gives society a phantom guarantee and its holders phantom rights. The holder of a diploma passes officially for possessing knowledge . . . comes to believe that society owes him something. Never has a convention been created which is more unfortunate for every one-the state, the individual (and, in particular, culture).

I did not know that quote but you can be damn sure that I am going to use it a lot from now on

My parents, specifically my father had on numerous times brought it up in front of previous girlfriends and his friends and to me on my own.

‘I knew a boy who had a foot fetish’

‘You don’t still have that foot fetish do you?’

‘Did you know *** had a foot fetish’

The last one was said to my current partner, she didn’t bat an eyelid and ignored him completely. Then looked at me a smiled 😂

I think like a lot of others on here I was always attempting to tickle the feet of older female cousins and family friends. He always used to say how embarrassing it was, yet was only to happy to bring it up to try and embarrass me.

Can’t imagine trying to show my own child up like that. To be honest it was just one thing in a long line of shitty parenting behaviour.

It’s never been explicitly brought up to me, but they probably do. Back in the early-mid 2000s I used the family computer to look up tickle videos. I think I have a vague memory of one of my parents walking in and maybe seeing me watching one before I was able to close out. It’s not something that they would bring up to me or ask me about, though.

No, and I don't plan on telling my mom that I have a tickling and belly kink. I have a slight bit of a paranoia of what her response would be like, because she's that kind of person who likes to poke fun at something like that. So, I'm more comfortable keeping it in the closet.

The closest thing she would have almost found out is her catching me watching realtickling and Laughing Gas Zone a lot, but luckily I was able to lie because she never saw what was going on.

I have a weird relationship with my parents. They kind of skipped over any format of intimacy discussions growing up (which I doubt would have improved my odds with people much, because running a small business, they were brutally honest, which rubbed off on me).

My dad (passed) used to just like searching the family computer for cookies and the like, being business minded etc. So no shit he found out and would kind of condescend over it mildly (things like "I know it's not tickling, but you have to admit, there's appeal in ______").

Mom is much more old school and presumptuous but I've kind of had discussions vaguely with her. I think years ago she saw something because in the days of instant messaging dedicated clients you'd get constant ba-dings on laptops and I didn't really go to much effort to hide things. Supposedly I heard she was mildly disappointed and it never came up. I've only heard her reference dating like "what are you going to do, hold hands?" In regards to events.

I kind of just accept that this is my thing to figure out alone.

I was never caught by a parent, but my ex told a couple of her close friends about my foot/tickling kinks while we were still together. I found out about it after the relationship ended when one of the friends told me that she knew. I explained to her why I liked it and even gave her a foot massage with a few playful tickles thrown in. So, yes please out me because I have been outed twice (the other time being at a party back in high school) where both times I tickled someone who either witnessed or heard that I like tickling. I’ll take that opportunity every time…

Whole different dynamic.

This... This is why I hide as an adult.

 

[_TT]

Not my parents, but my sister once saw an image on the computer of a girl tickling another girl, I told her that I didn't know what it was and that I had accidentally clicked on something in an advertisement. She let it go and it was never talked about again. I was 12 years old and that was the smartest thing I could think of to say 😅

Lol yea I've indirectly gotten that treatment too. I'm the weird single uncle who his siblings disregard for taking the "reality" vitamin in life. In all irony, my mom is as well, but her issue is basically having opinions.

I kind of moved past that rock. I don't understand them, they don't understand me, fine, just when the kids turn out with issues don't look at me, my words didn't matter.

My mom was a real piece of work. She hated my dad, so naturally whenever she was mad at him (...which was always), and he wasn't around (...which was always), she'd take it out on me.

Anyway, when I was a teenager I had an older pen pal in the early days of the interwebs, and once she sent me a photo of her feet on the beach. Totes innocent photo, just a down-the-leg snap like you might see on the Insta these days, and a second pic of her writing "hi (my name)!" in the sand with her foot. They were cute, I treasured them.
Kept them on my computer desk next to my state-of-the-art Commodore 64.

One day my mother was throwing a fit at me about something super important I'm sure, and then completely out of left field she yells, "You may have a foot thing but I sure don't!", prompting me to shout "what the hell are you on about?!", not in deflection or denial, but it was literally a sideways insult that had nothing to do with what we were fighting about, and there was no reason to bring it up other than to try and hurt, embarrass, or scold me.

Needless to say once the inevitable divorce happened and she moved out when I was in my twenties, oddly enough calls and visits from her only child never seemed to manifest. I haven't spoken to her in nearly twenty years, but once or twice her new husband tried to guilt me into contacting her via Facebook by implying that her never hearing from me on her birthday or mothers' day disappointed her. Not my circus, and definitely not my monkeys. Maybe shoulda thought of the long-term consequences of emotionally abusing your only son for the entirety of his formative years.

Sorry, got a little dark, there. But if there's something to be learned from my experience, it's that you should not be forced to accept abuse from your family over something so deeply personal. Here's hoping the people on this thread with similar stories will, or have, found the spine to stand up for themselves in the face of it, or at least cut those toxic people out of their lives. Blood is thicker than water, but shit's thicker than blood and nobody wants that running through their veins.
