That's good to know man 🙂
In response to kooieca's post, I can see where he's coming from; but I beg to differ. I see nothing wrong with showing our SO's what gets us off; however, here is where communication is key. "Easing him/her into it" is often the only way we can communicate our own desires. As somebody who was "eased into" things I never would have considered, I'm thankful for it. I'd prefer the open line of communication, to my partner feeling miserable and short-changed, and possibly seeking out somebody else with a similar interest.
Using my ex as an example; she wasn't ticklish, nor was she comfortable with the idea of tickling, initially. She also was very uncomfortable about having her feet touched (even though she had gorgeous feet); she just wasn't used to it. Now I'm stressing communication because without it, even "normal" love-making can be disastrous (from what I hear).
My first attempt to tickle my ex, lead to her telling me that she isn't ticklish, and doesn't get off on it. Not a problem, I backed off (not the least bit fazed or disgruntled) and from that point forward explained the whole "thing" to her. I also explained my foot fetish, which she found rather surprising because "feet are just... feet. How can anybody find them attractive?"
Again, I cannot stress communication enough. Sometimes she would bring it up, totally intrigued by the concepts of tickling and foot fetish. She even asked me for material once. She would tease me about it a lot, calling tickling "goofy" (which I admit, it is, and that's the whole point really). She still wasn't convinced about tickling, but the next time we were together, and I reached down for her foot, she didn't shy away...
She enjoyed my "playing" with her foot but LOL when I tried to kiss her there tho, she quickly jerked her foot away, giggling her head off... " I'm not ready for that yet " she told me...
I guess what matters even more than communication, is how you as the fetishist handle the "rejection". Are you going to let it stifle the relationship, get all offended and indignant? Or can you make her feel comfortable about a situation she might be embarrassed about (not being ticklish, and missing out. Or even being afraid of tickling), be playful about it and be willing to experiment yourself.
In the end of the day, we are all different people with different tastes in foot, music, and even fetishes; and unless you are willing to take out an ad, and deliberately seek somebody who is exactly like you, expect differences. And with these differences, come adventure, and compromise and discovery and a whole lota fun stuff...
