Just to clarify, I specifically avoided the words 'fetish' and 'sexual' when talking about the feelings most people here experienced as a kid towards tickling. Many people will say they liked tickling a lot as a kid or they had the fetish from a young age, despite not being aroused at that age, etc. I remember feeling very awkward when someone would talk about it or bring it up. I had no idea what sex was at 4 or 5. No clue what arousal was and had I felt it, I wouldn't even know the difference then, probably. However, fetishes typically develop in childhood because the reproductive system is somewhat developed but kind of dormant. However, it runs "checks" periodically. That's why it's not uncommon for young boys to get erections, even if they are not aroused or anything. Just the system doing a "check" so to speak. For most kids, the "check" goes unnoticed, or perhaps happens while they are looking at a beautiful woman / handsome man and then the typical attraction to boobs / butts / legs or tall / muscles / strong jaw might develop. If the "check" happens while the kid's looking at a pair of feet or watching someone get tickled, there's a chance that could maybe cause attraction to tickling / feet.
All in all, I did not mean that people have a fully-realized sexual attraction / fetish for anything / anyone at such a young age, but rather most people here will say they were aware of certain aspects of it / feelings towards it from a young age.
We are used to emphasizing on "fetish" and "sexual" too much. That's just physiological aspect.
That would be too long winded to speak about what is sexuality.
The thing is, there is more to tickling than just being sexual. I remember myself being into it since 5-6 years old. I clearly remember I was interested in tickling only girls, so that means something.
And even now I'm into it the same as I'm into sports. It's about many things. Tickling like therapy, like "positive sadism", exchange of energy, like doing massage. Only now that I'm an adult I can't deny my sexuality, which is a way of releasing emotions and feelings. But that doesn't mean we can't be those kids who have joy playing tickling games, smiling and laughing to tears.
We can't deny it's sexual for us, but what I'm trying to explain is that this wonderful T-word is more than just some fetish.
I really can't explain better than I can show it, that's why I'm running this studio Tickle therapy.
