How does the public view the ticklish.

I can understand for a ler approaching someone and telling them that you really enjoy tickling people, can be seen as creepy to a non tickle fetishist. But what about admitting ones ticklishness, would it be creepy if i admitted to being really ticklish?
And as a ticklish man, how am I viewed by others?
 
I think as long as it comes up in conversation naturally it's not weird...people say that all the time.
 
Well, you're not admitting that you like tickling people you're just admitting that you are ticklish which is a normal human sensation. Fetish or not everyone's ticklish so I don't see how it could be creepy.
 
I know if I came out and admitted to friends & family I never told about my love for tickling,it would be very surreal...lol.
 
Others probably wouldn't give a crap. You should just not state it out of the blue - that would be awkward and creepy. Like a colleague of mine who started talking about the female breast as a source of nurturing just without the topic even coming up!

If nobody else talked about it it would come across as at least awkward. Personally I have never been in a conversation where the topic would come up - since the general public doesn't give a rat's ass about tickling or people being ticklish.
 
This is great advise guys. 🙂 I agree with letting it come up naturally. Not everyone is comfortable with the topic.
 
In short, its only weird if you make it weird.

But I've been in and around various conversations with friends and work colleagues where people have admitted to being ticklish, usually someone else pipes up saying they are ticklish too, people laugh about it and then move on. You can't help being ticklish and everyone has been tickled at one time or another in their life.

You can't go: "Hey nice to meet you, I am very ticklish and I enjoy gettin' tickled" to everyone you see around. It's easier when you know your friend (or family) and come out because they'll understand you better. Like I always said: its a waste of time, sharing your interests with someone who is not in the same ride. Now, how the world would see us? Thats a problem for them, not for me. If they think I am crazy, well... just don't ever speak to me again and that's it, problem solved. 😀

If anything is creepy here, it's the asinine suggestion that a guy admitting that he's ticklish is tantamount to talking about female breasts (as opposed to...you know...the other kind of breasts 🙄).

Guys, for the record, there's nothing unusual about mentioning that you're ticklish. I've been doing it my entire life and nobody has ever been creeped out by it. FeatherEndeavor's post nailed it.

If you just blurt out that you're ticklish without a reason - it's weird. It's awkward. Just about everything private that you just bring up without a context like that is. Just like it wouldn't have been weird to talk about nursing women if it had been the topic before. All I'm saying is that you shouldn't force the topic, then it won't be weird. If you do, it comes across as weird.
 
I don't think the public looks down on people for being ticklish, it's just a thing some people have. But if someone is like sidling up to a group of people and shouting "I'M TICKLISH LOOK AT ME", then yeah, it's annoying and strange.
 
As non-fetishists, other men may view it as a weakness, while women may view it as cute, silly or weird.... I guess...

i think its alright to be ticklish. actually a lot of people are ticklish. including the no tickle fetishist.
😛
 
I think it also depends on the gender as well.
As a female ler I feel like the responses I've gotten from every person I've told (close friends and boyfriends) have been positive ones.
Most think it's really innocent and cute. Some of my female friends have even said that they think guys being ticklish is really cute too. Some people said they think its not weird enough to be called a fetish.
Either way I think, being a girl, I'm not threatening.
On the other hand, if a guy approaches a girl and wants to tickle her it's a little more threatening because he's bigger and more dominating. The initial response might not be as positive.
I also hate it when my boyfriend tries to tickle me. But I adore tickling him. 🙂
:peace:
 
I agree other men may find it as a weakness, but I'm at the point in life where i honestly dont care. 😀
And as far as women go, ive been accused of "acting like a tough guy". So when women discover how ticklish i am they usually run wild wit it...Especially if there's payback owed. 😉

Well that's true of anything, isn't it? Is it any different from saying "Lady Gaga is an attention *****" out of the blue, or any other statement? You're talking about the most basic conversation skills learned during childhood. I'm more inclined to give the OP the benefit of the doubt and assume he has these basic skills.

So then as far as general conversation goes, you hold ticklishness in the same category of "private" as discussing breasts. This is twice now that you've used breasts as a comparison to ticklishness.
 
I don't think it's weird. I would think it was weird if you blurted out that you were ticklish when I was saying grace, or if the pastor said, "Open your Bibles to Genesis 1:1" and you said... "OMG I'm so ticklish!" (I'm lying about the second one. I'm pretty sure I had some epic tickle sessions at church with a guy during the sermons every Sunday for MONTHS! Another reason why I'm unsure as to why my mother was so shocked when she found out I was a ticklephile later.)

BUT- I don't see that there is anything wrong with a guy being ticklish or admitting that he is. I find it very cute, and very fun, and more than likely, you might even be tickled (by me) because of it. UNLESS I find you creepy for a different reason.
 
PS... The guy who tickled me church constantly is now a pastor. LOL LOL

You should think. But on this forum, nothing surprises me.

LMAO. That made me laugh! Great Post.

Thanx 🙂
 
In high school a boy tickled me on my ribs
It was then when I told him I loved being tickled.
So he tickled me a lot in my high school years.
Context is key when mentioning you are ticklish.
