Embarrassment and humiliation.

[megaticklish]

I've been a "tickler" as long for as long as I can remember. The idea of tickling a woman and making her squirm and giggle has always "got me" and the idea of me being tickled and others finding out that I'm ticklish has always been humiliating and a source of embarrassment for me. Maybe it's because I'm a guy and being ticklish never struck me as "manly" or something, but if somebody tickled me or asked me if I was ticklish I'd always blush and try to cover it up or something, Especially if it was an attractive woman. For the longest time I had kind of a fear of a woman finding out that I'm ticklish and then having a hard time taking me seriously. In fact, as a tickler, the idea of playfully teasing someone about being ticklish really appealed to me. Lightly teasing someone by saying something like "you're ticklish aren't you..." has always gave me a jittery feeling for some reason.

Anyway, one day something changed in me out of nowhere and suddenly the idea of a woman humiliating me and mercilessly tickling me really turned me on. I'm still predominately a tickler, but being tickled by a woman turns me incredibly like never before. Like, I actually love admitting I'm ticklish and having a lady tickle me. I feel "embarrassed", but the embarrassment and humiliation is really arousing. Anybody else feel this way?

I think I'm with you there. The embarrassment aspect has always kind of been a big thing for me; I love the idea of being tickled in a public place, or in front of people. A shy guy like me, being called up to "try out" the stocks at a renfaire for the viewing pleasure of a teasing crowd? Hooooo, shivers...! XD
I also love the idea of not only having someone find out I'm ticklish, but then having them try to make me admit how much I love it. Being ticklish isn't the embarrassing thing for me, it's loving being tickled that I would have a hard time admitting, and having someone tie me up and tickle me ruthlessly until I admitted how much I'm enjoying it--and then, of course, continuing once I finally did crack--is an exciting prospect for me.

I feel the exact same way! I get so turned on whenever a woman tickles me, especially in front of other people. There is something very arousing about a woman reducing a man to a giggling mess by tickling him. It's kind of embarrassing to be helpless and ticklish, but I think that's what makes it sexy, that you are vulnerable not in control of yourself while being tickled. I actually try to get myself into tickling situations with my girlfriends friends and family. One time I even got my girlfriends mom to tickle my feet! I'll even tell people how incredibly ticklish I am just to try and start some tickle fun.

Personally, I've never really been into the whole embarrassment and humiliation thing. But I can kinda relate to everything else. For the longest time I was ONLY interesting in being a ler but recently, the idea of being a lee has gauged my interest. However, for whatever reason, I'm not ticklish anymore. I used to be, but not since I was a kid.

I've never been into embarrassment or humiliation of myself or others (not judging those who are). But I was a ler only, for a long time. Eventually started to enjoy being a lee, because a girl I was dating wanted to tickle me. I didn't know what I was missing!
Congratulations on becoming a switch! It's way more fun IMO!

Humiliation is part of what I love about tickling, apart from the sensation and anticipation.

Yes, of course. Embarrassment seems like one of the primary ingredients of compound erotic feelings.

I always get embarrassed when someone tickles me, especially for a prolonged period of time, and doubly especially in front of other people. If we're alone, I don't get embarrassed about it if my tickler is someone I'm in a romantic relationship with -- I guess because she knows me too well and nothing new about my weakness is being revealed? -- but if the tickler is a platonic friend then it's embarrassing to be reduced to helpless giggles by her even if we're alone.

Seems like it should be unnecessary to be embarrassed about being tickled -- lots of people are ticklish, after all, and you're not the one creating the spectacle, that's on the tickler -- but it seems like there's something fundamentally embarrassing about involuntarily ceding control of your body to this other person (or multiple people), letting them be in charge of your movements and reactions, especially when those reactions are so disproportionate and loud and wild and silly.

I'm mostly a LER but I'm a LEE also. I don't get embarrassed if a woman finds out I'm ticklish or tries to tickle me. In fact it's a huge turn on but I would be embarrassed if it was in front of other people. Being tickled in public would embarrass me as much as being 'pantsed'. I'd get over it but I wouldn't wish it to happen. But then I'm not into humiliation or embarrassment.

Embarrassment is a huge aspect of the fetish for me as well. I like it pretty much for the reasons mentioned above. I also like the thought of someone having their fetish exposed in front of someone they have a crush on but had no idea about their kink- it's a theme I like to play around with in some of my drawings. Also, a lot of people are foot shy, so baring their feet in public is something that plays ing hat category as well.

I aspire to be the kind of woman who inspires this in a man 😛

Once when a girl started tickling me for the first time and was demonstrating an amused fascination with my ticklishness, she assessed my reactions and said, with a smile in her voice, "Are you embarrassed that you're ticklish?" Sounding half-surprised, as though to ask "Why would you be embarrassed?" Of course I said "No" through the giggles but obviously it was pretty clear that I was -- and she kept tickling me so either she didn't care about my embarrassment or embarrassing me was part of the fun.

I seem to remember Sigmund Freud actually having a case relating to this...

I always get embarrassed.... but once the tickling begins I just enjoy it. I wish I could erase the embarrassment part. I hate that feeling.

It's different for me here though. A good kind of blushing goes on when someone tells me they want to tickle me. An excited blush. Then I'm just horni lol
