Discovering vanillas who like being tickled

[TicklingTips]

How many people have found vanillas that don't have a tickle fetish but definitely like being tickled? My first real tickling experience, beyond a few cheeky pokes or strokes earlier, was when I was 18. I got texting with a girl at my work who I knew was very ticklish. It had been a while since I saw her, so I teased her and the text conversation went pretty much like this:

Are you still as ticklish as you used to be?
Yes...it's my weakness. But I like being tickled because I feel good after it.
Really? I'll tickle you anytime you want. I'll tickle you on Saturday if you want! (I'd previously arranged for her to come over on Saturday)
Thanks, you're awesome haha!

Later in the conversation I put forward the idea that I should tie her up and tickle her all over. She responded that she might not wear a top, or might just wear her underwear.

End result was that she came over and on the day, she only felt comfortable having her feet tickled. Can't blame her, she was 18 and new to a lot of things. But she definitely enjoyed it. Anyone else had similar experiences?

Yes, when I was a teenager I knew a young woman two years younger than me who was definitely vanilla and definitely not interested in a romantic relationship with me, BUT she loved to be tickled on her bare soles. She allowed me to do that often, which I greatly enjoyed, but would never allow me to lick her soles.

It doesn't sound like your friend was completely vanilla but I can relate. One of my sister's best friends has always liked being tickled, and being as pretty as she was you can imagine I couldn't resist and she was always willing to humor me. I have no doubt she's a very vanilla girl but she seems to love being tickled as long as she gets a break or two. Cant share any experiences sadly due to her age at the time, but if you really wanna hear them PM me.

Seems like there's a them of quite young people there. I wonder how many continued to like it as they got older.

The woman I mentioned got married while in college at 21, so I lost touch with her. 🙁

if someone likes being tickled, doesn't that automatically make them not vanilla? or in order to not be vanilla does one have to specifically identify as having a fetish?

What is "vanilla" anyway? There are nominally "vanilla" people who at least occasionally enjoy what others might consider to be kinky, at least under certain conditions. I had an old girlfriend who showed no outward signs of any kink whatsoever, who nonetheless liked to gently tickle my ribs (much to my delight!) while we were in bed gettin' jiggy!

I just started dating a woman in the last month who is a vanilla person, to be sure. But I did admit to her that I was a tickling video producer and she said she wasn't sure how to take that.
Well, she didn't say anything else about it but I have tickled her at EVERY chance and she is VERY ticklish. What's more, she has encouraged me to tickle her more and she says she LOVES it when I tickle her!
Just a few days ago, she asked me if I had ever shot the tickling video that I mentioned to her when we had our original discussion. I told her "yes" and she said, "Oh, good"

Looking good!

People can like tickling without it necessarily having it a fetish, and the fetish itself is what separates "vanilla" and not. A lot of people just like the laughing and play fight aspects and don't get turned on in the least from it.

That said I've always thought the term was stupid since even the most "boring" people have turn ons and all that good shit.

My girlfriend is a vanilla, and she likes being tickled, but only in a certain way: light & sensual tickling that makes her squirm & giggle, but tolerable. She doesn't enjoy the intense tickling, but says she wants to try it out one day, if she can overcome the anxiety of being tied helpless, cuz she knows how much I love it!

And I think we're getting there, especially the more she tickles me... and she really loves tickling me.
