If you could get rid of your tickling fetish, would you?

Un-tickle fetish???

When I was a young'n and thought I was the only tickle person on the planet, I might have wondered about changing the wiring. That said, I've been tickling my wife nine-tenths to death for over thirty years. Her glorious ticklishness is surely one of the things that lured me in in the first instance.

Just thinking about tickling has allowed me to while away long hours on the road and through other otherwise tedious times.

Then, when you have a tickle fetish, tickling becomes an infinite loop. At least in this universe, the deeper I get into wife-tickling, the stiffer my resolve becomes. The stiffer my resolve, the better it feels. The better it feels the more enthusiastically I tickle. Then, the more I tickle, the harder she tries to regain control. The harder she tries, the less control she has. The less her control, the more delightful her reactions. The more delightful her reactions the deeper I get into wife tickling.

My wife doesn't have the fetish, so she might argue with my feelings on the subject. The thing of it is, is, she knows full well I have the fetish and has put up with me for more than thirty years...if you can imagine two people in their fifties wrestling like they are teen agers...well, it keeps me feeling young. You couldn't pay me to give up this fetish.
 
Fuck!

Can I nominate the above for Post-of-the-Year? :wavingguy

I'm serious.

You should have to click "Agree" or "Disagree" to the above statement from hiram to even access this site. :wiseowl:

Not to mention, a poignant, eloquent post from the much-missed tickleshotel! Glad you're back, we missed you. :bowing:
 
Ridiculous...

...NO FREAKIN' WAY. This is who I am. I can't imagine being any other way. I love it! It's the "normal" people who are missing out!

Hear hear!! Well said! I second that motion!
 
IMHP, having a fetish makes you a wiser, more open and better person because you are more aware of all the different unusual things that people are into, for me i am open and able to accept people without looking down on them because we like what we like and i aint got no right to ridicule no body just because they like something i think is weird.

Now if i didnt have a tickling fetish, or a fetish period, then i probably would have been brought up to think the exact opposite ive what i just said, especially growing up in an area where everyone i know thinks that same way (freakin hell, i would have been a right bastard! :wowzer: ). My lack of knowledge and awareness of such would have probably made me into one of the idiot masses of society that look down on people who do things out of the usual. There are people i know whose life styles are quite ab normal yet they are very very nice people indeed, had i not had a fetish, my mind wouldnt be open and i wouldnt have given them a second look, i would have labelled them as freaks and not look back, thus missing out on a what would have been some of the best friends i have ever had.

People forget that having such desires makes your more open and acceptable towards people regardless of how unusual their life styles are and you treat people with more respect instead of having barriers for certain types of people you would otherwise ignore. People bond on comunities such as these and they gain a sense of wisdom to the many things in this world whilst the masses spend their time hating, fearing, ridiculing or looking down on people because they like something which they do not understand.

Im pretty sure if a mate confessed he/she had a fetish for something to you, then you are more than likely to accept and support them for it, the chances of this are far greater than had you not had a fetish in the first place, because you couldnt relate and you wouldnt be educated in stuff like this.

I dont know whether its harder for a male lee to find a girl who would indulge in tickling him then a male ler wanting a female lee, but i do know that besides the depression and lack of desire satisfaction, at the end of a day I know that I am a better and wiser person, so HELL NO, im glad this fetish choose me!
 
Hiram, you are a lucky dude. If I were a 'lee, I would take off my socks to you.

TR
 
Hell No!! Absolutely Not!! I love tickling and being tickled way too much to ever wish I was born without this wonderful desire. And my answer would be the same regarding my fetish for Female bare feet!
I would think that just having so-called "normal sexual interests" (ie:vanilla) would be very boring.
 
Absolutely.

I have weighed this several time (as I'm sure many of you have) and if I could not like tickling as much as I do I would not. Don't get me wrong. I have accepted tickling as being hardwired into my brain. I DO enjoy it. But I'd like to be able to see someone without wondering if they are ticklish! LOL!

Whoa tough topic which seems to have struck a chord with a lot of people.

If I wasn't born with this fetish I can see my life being completely different right now; namely married with children. That doesn't necessarily mean being married with kids would have been right for me anyway. Similarly there are also a lot of people my age who are either miserable in that set up, or have had their lives ruined when they crashed out of it.

For my part I feel I do a lot of interesting things in my life now (not tickle related) which I know makes a lot of my married contemporaries (friends and relations) sneer, saying that I should grow up, but are still equally envious of my freedom.

As for Tickling as a fetish, I personally think we taste highs that Vanilla people can only get by using drugs, and certainly not through their dreary sex lives.

My only regret is that there wasn't the internet and a community like this around when I was in my teens, twenties and early thirties. Then I could have far sooner come to terms with and celebrated/enjoyed this fetish, rather that feeling like a freak who should be beating himself into a vanilla lifestyle.
 
I don't think I would. This fetish of mine has gotten me closer to more ladies than any other tactic I tried. A playful tickle, while stimulating to me, is nothing but harmless fun to them. This is the best way to have such a fetish, in my opinion. It hurts no one and even if they don't know about it, they'd still consent. At least until you bring out the handcuffs and stocks, but that's another matter.

I admit, I'm in a biased position. I'm still a decent-looking young man with a girlfriend who indulges me so long as I don't go too far. Then again, if you asked me a few years ago, I don't think my answer would change.
 
I recently just discovered this fetish and I LOVE it! I'm glad I found out early in my life than later on and would have missed out on it all those years. I was introduced to it by someone really close to me. A simple tickle fight opened the door to a whole new world and its fantastic.
 
I'd never dump this fetish.

I've asked a number of people (including myself): if a pill existed that could remove your fetish/es, would you take it or not? Why/why not?

(Good grief... that sounds like an essay question.)

My answer: no. Hell no! My fetishes (tickling and feet) intensify life and sex for me, and things would be damned BORING for me without it.
 
I'm not asking "Would you get rid of your fetish"

I'm asking

"Would you rather not have had your fetish"

The difference is, that without ever having had the fetish you would get pleasure out of normal things, rather than abnormal things. A lot of people seem to say

"Things would be boring"

No they wouldn't. Your interest in tickling would be replaced with an interest for something more normal. Having a more normal interest equals more opportunities to enjoy that interest.

To the people that say

"Tickling's made me what I am"

Fair play to you. Thats the only decent arguement in favour of keeping it. That is that tickling has made you better, greater, stronger, more compassionate, more understanding etc. then your non-tickling contemporaries.

Oh, do you all like my new signature pic?!
 
I do not consider a tickling fetish to be abnormal. That word implies that it is a problem, like a disease to be cured.

I would say that it is atypical. It is not widespread. So what, if only 1% of the world liked chocolate, I would still eat chocolate.

Yeah, abnormal has negative connotations, but I think it is accurate. We would certainly be classified as abnormal with regards to sexual interests. Atypical suggests that the tickling fetish is more prevalent than it in fact is.


But this is a matter of semantics.

I think that in some ways, it is. Only tangendentally as a fetish, but certainly a regular warm-up to sex for a whole heckuva lotta people. Sorta like pre-foreplay, really!

But, yeah. The way someone like me fetishizes tickling probably is downright deviant. I like throwing in(on) restraints, blindfolds, gags, etc.

It's strange to me, but for whatever reason, at least where I live, it would probably be less embarrassing to declare a love of spanking as a sexual kink, than tender, tantalizing tickling. Go figure?
 
Yes I would, assuming.....

assuming that my lust to tickle women would not be replaced by an equally powerful lust for the more "conventional" things (breasts, butt, etc). As it is now, I really only have a desire to make love the "conventional" way with a woman who I have romantic feelings for, while I want to tickle every cute female I lay eyes on. Makes it difficult to get to know a woman when all I can think about is tickling her, regardless of her personality, interests, etc. If I like those, that's a bonus, but I want to tickle her regardless. If all I had was my present desire to make love in a "conventional" way with a woman I cared for in a romantic way, then those urges would obviously be a lot more easily controlled, and I wouldn't be a walking hard-on 75% the time. Sorry for the mental image 😀
 
Never!...Loving feet n loving to be tickled for me transcends any interest or desire I have ,it is a substantial part of who I am...my entire personality reeks of my fetishes and I love it...people who truly enjoy and embrace their feet n tickling or any fetish are happy people...I know experientially because I tried desperately to disengage from all aspects of tickling in order to become the Christian I believed I should be. I still love being a Christian but I also adore being a painfully ticklish female who loves to laugh and more importantly, trying to run from it only makes me miserable and unfulfilled.
Playfulness and lots of laughter are essential for our well being and emotional health...for me, being tickled and enjoying tickling and my fetishes affords me the opportunity to express my abounding passion ...I love to laugh. Period. I love being tickled. Period. I love feet. period. Unruly and outrageous laughter is not reserved for children...if being a grown up wasn't so much fun I would have stopped being one a long time ago...lol.

That said, since it is impossible to fully know what we would know or be like void some characteristic we have by considering not having it I will have to do the best I can and imagine myself without my ticklishness, my love of feet and loving to have the hell tickled outta me...I envision myself to resemble many of the other people around me in my life and I say kill me now!...lol.

I'm excited and thankful that God made me this way and I don't want to change a thing.🙂 :redheart:

Hiya! :bunny:

Hmm, Newckie Uni, that's an interesting question. I guess the way you phrased it, my answer would be, would it matter? I mean if i exchanged my love of being tickled for something else then :ermm: i sort of think, i wouldn't miss it 'cuz i'd be into something else?? :idunno:

Anyway, i am happy the way it is. Though your question reminded me that it wasn't always so. I did once try to get rid of my fun around tickling because my bros used to abuse it to make me do stuff. But as i think i explained on another thread, trying to become "unticklish" only goaded them into proving i couldn't do it. In the end of course they were absolutely right! 🙄 -thank goodness! 😛:veryhappy

Many blessings,
Chickles:redheart:
 
Interesting question/topic! But simple answer for me...most def not! Reason why? Well, its cause it seperates me from the common sexual interests..and I thrive to be different and original as possible :dogpile:

At the risk of thread-jacking, could you perhaps link me to this thread you mention above, chickles_🙂?

Hey Doc! i don't mean to thread-jack either but maybe the mods will let me answer your Q??

It's neat that you want to see what i wrote there but uhm :blush: unfortunately i have to leave you dangling, perhaps within easy reach of a tickler of your choice 😉

I honestly can't recall what thread it was! :wow: yes really. Anyway, the short story is that when i was on the early side of mid-teens my bros who had discovered my extreme weakness also discovered it made a great tool for getting their way and though at first it was cute and fun for me it started to get like WAY out of hand! :shake: :sowrong:

Anyway, at the advice of well-meaning friends i decided i had to become "unticklish" if i were ever to get any peace! So for a few days when they threatened me with the usual punishment unless i went along with their desires, i refused and told them i wasn't ticklish any more. Needless to say, this was like the ULTIMATE red flag in front of the bull! 😱

This was all the encouragement they needed to work me till i gave in and shrieking (or breathless) with hysterics admitted to being as ticklish as ever. 🙁 SO not fair!! 😛

Finally after a couple of weeks or maybe more i gave up. And a short while after that their fad of using my weakness to coerce me died down -though never completely ended. :tickle::Grrr:😀
And i went back to enjoying the experience more than ever! :veryhappy

Hope that helps! 🙂

Lest we forget...

... the way that we use the term "fetish" is quite a bit "softer" than the psychological meaning.

We use it to express an interest in tickling, sexual or no, that is above average.

A fetish, properly speaking, is an obsession or interest so strong that it interferes with having a normal life to an undue degree.

Since for some of us, this or other fetishes (in our sense of the word) may be strong enough to prevent or at least greatly reduce the chances of relationships, it qualifies for a fetish in the hard sense of interfering with a "normal" life.
 
I honestly don't recall a time when I enjoyed reading through a thread more. This IS the post of the year in my opinion. Most of us have some very good reasons behind our beliefs and I value intelligent discussion above well.... most things.

I wouldn't give it up. For awhile I was pretty frustrated.... I was dating a lot and having zero luck going anywhere beyond the "you're crazy" look when describing to a guy my interests. But lately... I don't know if I am just more comfortable with it but it's been easier. And I've had some awesome feedback. Maybe you guys are just searching out the wrong girls? I dunno. Much of the time it comes down to looking for a "type".

Best of luck all... and an AWESOME thread!
 
Good question, and my answer to it has changed a lot over the years. Replacing my love of tickling with an equal passion for a more common or mainstream "fixation" might make my life easier in that I probably would have wasted less time and energy worrying about possible childhood traumas and/or deviant genetics that contributed to my abnormal perverted freakishness (an exaggeration, but you get the point - I WAY overanalyse things sometimes😉).

I'm still uncomfortable with the fact that something many people don't think twice about has such an effect on me, but overall I'd have to say that I wouldn't change my fetish. I think there's a certain coolness about having interests (sexual or otherwise) outside the mainstream, and I think I'm a more interesting, sexually creative and open-minded person for it. Having a fetish outside the mainstream has forced me to confront my sexuality in a way that wouldn't have been necessary for me otherwise, and I am more expressive of my desires than I would be if they were of the taken-for-granted vanilla variety. There's also the fact that I would never have found the TMF and all you lovely people (including my sweetie BOFH666 :lovestory) without this fetish, and I couldn't imagine my life like that.
