Is Tickling Always Sexual To You?

[laughtermech]

Apologies as I’m sure there have been other threads and posts in this forum related to this question I’ve posed in the title of this post, but I thought I’d go ahead and pose it all the same.

So…what do you think…is tickling sexual to you?

It sure is to me. I really can’t separate the two things. One always equals the other. I know there are plenty that feel the same way as I do, but I also know there are plenty that don’t.

Tickling has always represented something very sensual and very sexual to me. Any time I watch a tickling scene (mainly between a man and a woman, but also vice versa and also between women, not so much between men), I become sexually aroused. I want the progression in the scene to go from tickling, to turn on, to sex.

I especially love the connection between the pleasurable feelings that come from having your feet touched, to those tinglings that happen between your legs (think reflexology and the pressure points on the feet that affect other areas of the body).

I love to explore that connection as women experience the joy and pleasure of a good foot massage that gets them ‘in the mood’, there’s some playful tickling involved, and then…one thing leads to another and he’s between her legs running his tongue up and down her vulva and labia, tickling her clitoris and making her cum wildly and often.

I’ll stop there for now.

Interested in your thoughts on this topic.

No, definitely not always. I'd say it isn't in the vast majority of situations that I'm not involved in personally.

 

[FFT32]

Not always but definitely can be, but I’m extremely happy either way!

It's very context dependent for me. I have tickled some family and kids of friends and family where the only way I feel about it is that it is good wholesome fun. When tickling adult women not in my family, it usually has a sexual charge to it, but the degree of that, and how much that shows through totally depends upon how the lee feels about it and interacts with it. Generally, being tickled is more often sexually stimulating, but again, the degree of how much so can depend upon the other person. I try not to engage in tickling unless I know I can prevent being tickled myself, or the other person is aware of how it affects me. Whether from the sexual or the nonsexual side of it, I have always been self-conscious of my fixation on tickling and seldom bring it up or express it in anyway outside of the community.

No. Tickling is not a sexual activity, no more than itching someones back. I now disavow the connotation of fetish in terms with it, because my original acceptance of that term was not in relation to sexuality but rather just an intense interest / idolization of it (which is fetish definition and how I first understood it), and this terminology was rather thrown upon us in finding the community, which we then blankly accept. I truly believe the community has wrongly latched onto this term, and in the process so to anyone outside who happens upon it. I love many things about it; it is fun, it is funny, it is stress relief, It is energizing, it feels good ( varies ), it is bonding, I enjoy hearing the laughter ( even in asmr way (I also do not consider the videos sexual, and never have (unless they are incorporating actual sexual acts as touching genitals))) and find the subject captivating aesthetically ( artistically ). With the right person and situation it can certainly be more towards the sensual side but that is very situation dependent. Looking back to past relationships, tickling has actually never been sexual, though earlier I wrongly called it a "turn on" it never was. The person, and knowing that things were going to lead towards that direction, was. Performance was not dependent on that. I was just trying to communicate the above former in a way that both I could convey and that they would understand, more easily.

Its also hugely ironic how a masseuse can completely rub someone down, naked, and this would not be considered a sexual act (and I am not trying to say that it is but rather call out the hypocrisy and absurdity of society), and people may enjoy giving or receiving, so much that they will pay for it, but with something more niche, it must be lumped into a sexual category. Maybe, or likely, this is a product of peoples taught need to seek things less common as "wrong" so that there is always some convenient thing to persecute and distract us with?

 

[luvgirlsfeet]

No it’s not sexual at all at least to me

 

[4Pawz]

To me? Definitely not. It has to be with someone I am in a relationship with, that’s a friend with benefits, and someone I agreed to that ahead of the session for it to be sexual. Notice the “and” there. This isn’t inherently sexual to me. There has to be intent for my head to even go to that space.

I agree, I love tickling when it's just wholesome fun

 

[Madame_T]

No, not always. Sometimes it happens when I get super cuddly and it doesn't lead into anything. It's just a fun activity in the moment.

 

[wolfman40]

For me it can be either!

Play is very stimulating and a turn on, but as long as there are agreed boundaries in place beforehand then you know where you stand.

If had naughty tickle sessions and wholesome playful platonic sessions too.

Both types are fantastic and put a smile on my face.

I tie a knot (not literally as that would be painful) in any feelings or emotions, at my age, I'd rather share a bowl of chips with a play partner than do any boinking in any case..

 

[MindOverWhatMatters]

Half and half. I’m not ticklish, but I get aroused when I’m touched in a ticklish manner, so I think it’s sexual for me as a lee. I do think I’d be attracted to tickling other females, but feel I could separate it and enjoy the experience of being in that moment with someone for pure tactile enjoyment.

Tickling is sexual for me as well. You are not the only one there is something sexual about it and I get sexually aroused when girls tickle my feet although these days I can’t seem to find any girls to tickle my feet being on a low income and having a Disability my girls don’t want to do anything for free. I understand it but at the same time, it is frustrating because I like the feeling of my feet being tickled. It’s the one thing that does get me sexual aroused.

 

[lostphilosopher]

Yes.

 

[eroticler]

AS A LER, I FIND IT TRULY SEXY, AROUSING, AND SEXUAL. I KEEP IT IN CHECK WHEN FOOT MASSAGING MY FOOT GIRLS (LEES), BUT THEN IT USUALLY TURNS SEXUAL FROM THERE. WE LOVE IT.

Thanks for your reply. You bring up alot of great points to consider. I too am very self conscious of this fetish and very rarely bring it up outside of this community (of which I am incredibly grateful exists🙏) Thanks again.

Thanks for your reply. Some very good points to consider for both sides of the sexual/non-sexual ‘tickling coin’ so to speak 🙂 Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks for sharing that. Very interesting perspective as a ‘lee and as a potential ‘ler. Thanks again.

Thanks for sharing that. I hope you do find some people that share your enthusiasm for having your feet tickled and you can enjoy having your feet tickled by them. I also hope you can enjoy the beautiful non-shameful world of fantasy and self-love. Wishing you the best. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
