My boyfriend hated being tickled too. He'd get annoyed when I'd tickle him saying "seriously...stop," but sometimes I'd go just a liiittle bit farther to get him to tickle me to 'make me stop.' He didn't like it on him, but he didn't seem to mind giving me a few tickles. Anyway, I finally finally ended up telling him (first person ever) and he not only thought it was 'lovely,' but now he finds tickling more and more sexy he said. So....I know this sounds like the best-case scenario, but he definitely changed his attitude towards tickling. I also take it really easy for the most part unless he says I can go harder. Even then though I stop immediately when he wants me to so he learns that he still has some control and it's not uncomfortable. Basically, he just asked that I reintroduce him to it. So if this man really cares for your sexual pleasure, and pleasure in general for that matter, I'd give it a shot.
