Tickling and Orgasms: An Elucidation

[KittenToes]

I happened to be reading another thread (the one about ideas for hardcore tickling videos) and originally was going to respond to a comment in that thread, but realized that my reply might take the thread off topic, since I am neither a producer or a purchaser of hardcore tickling videos and do not intend to be, so I couldn't offer suggestions for videos.

The comment from that thread, which I'm replying to, is below.

It think its very difficult for a woman to orgasm while simultaneously being tickled. I'm mainly basing that off of what I've seen in vibrator + tickle clips.
If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

And yes, the tickle-fuck thing is my favorite of these three ideas. It's a fantasy I've had for quite a while, but unfortunately no girl I've ever dated would even be approachable with this kind of idea.
...I've actually never gotten to do anything "kinky" ever with any girl I've dated.

Don't worry. There's someone out there for you. My first few boyfriends absolutely refused to tie me up! Honest.
Please don't base your conclusions about women's sexuality on porn clips- they absolutely do not reflect reality. Real orgasms (as opposed to the faked pornstar ones) might not always be distinguishable from all the other tickle-noise going on! Just because she doesn't stop what she's doing and shriek "OhGodOhGodOhGod. I'm coming! OO OO OO AAA" does not mean it hasn't happened.

I can't speak for other women, but I would say from personal experience that it is NOT hard to orgasm while being tickled.

Folks are always talking about tickling while having sex and the combination of ticklng and vibrators. How about an orgasm from the tickling alone? People always seem to forget that one. That's also entirely possible. I should know- it's even happened to me in front of people. At NEST, actually, during a "tickle demo" in 2006 and again at NEST 2007.
The time in 2006 was after about a 1/2 hour of continuous tickling. I was in my undies and securely strapped down to a table, so I couldn't protect any of my ticklish spots. I'd really been fighting off an orgasm for about 15 minutes, because I always get more ticklish afterwards- not a good thing when you are already hyper-ticklish and tied down, without a safeword, in full view of about 50 or so people. But after half an hour, I was too tired to fight it off, and it just happened. Right after, my ler, Libertine, noticed that I seemed to have have gotten overheated during the tickle session, though he didn't know just HOW "hot" I'd gotten, and he mischieviously shoved ice cubes down the front of my thong. That last bit was NOT fun!

The second time it happened at NEST was in similar circumstances, except I wasn't fighting against it as hard. That time, the "ticklegasm" was triggered when Libertine gave me a few seconds to speak, and instead of asking him to stop, as he'd expected me to do, I cheekily reminded him that he'd "forgotten my neck". I suppose I deserved punishment for being cheeky. I'm just glad he didn't have ice cubes to hand at that moment.

Obviously these things happen all the time- I've just limited my description to the 2 times when I had lots of witnesses. I can't possibly be the only one who has had these kinds of experiences.

So, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. The questions to address include: Does tickling prevent you from reaching orgasm, or not? Does it, in fact, help? Can you orgasm from tickling alone? Does the setting (i.e public or private) affect your response?

Let's discuss!

When I first set about my active tickling life with my first girlfriend I often orgasmed from it without her going anywhere near the "naughty place".

Unfortunatly over time I became unable to do it without "AHEM" encouragement. I put it down to my lack of sexual maturity at that younger age, twas amongst my first sexual experiences.

Hmm, maybe if I starved myself of orgasms for a week or two I could manage it? *ponders*

 

[karategirl18]

I've been tickled to the point of cumming before without much stimulation 'down there'. My boyfriend was actually tickling my feet when it happened, and wasn't touching my clit or anything. Tickling makes me orgasm so much harder, and definitely intensifies it.

 

[4Pawz]

Personally, I can orgasm when being tickled, but not from tickling alone. It just depends on the circumstances for me. It is definitely not something I would do with just anyone 🙂

 

[NG02]

Im sorry i hate to be one of those ppl who kinda get alil off track but I got to comment on this. Its funny how kittentoes mentioned about just cuz they dont make it obvious that they have orgasmed doesnt mean that tickling alone cant make them do it. Well heres a Testiment....I was actually at the 2007 NEST and I wouldve never guessed that she orgasmed, she held her composer quite well I must say from watching that demo.

How about an orgasm from the tickling alone? People always seem to forget that one. That's also entirely possible. I should know- it's even happened to me in front of people. At NEST, actually, during a "tickle demo" in 2006 and again at NEST 2007

Ok now for a more personal comment from me......HOLY SHIT!!!!! I cant believe that thats what was going on inside of you at that moment, I mean I figured you were having fun but didnt know it was that much lol.

 

[ittakes10totkl]

Let's not neglect the anatomical differences between men and women!! Women are capable of receiving orgasms much more frequently and intense than men are. The clitoris is solely around for pleasure. Plus laughing turns lots of women on!

 

[Redmage]

I can testify that it's definitely possible for a 'lee to orgasm while being tickled out of her mind. In fact the two go together pretty well.

 

[JPie1]

Depending on the ler and the way the tickling is happening it is quite possible to orgasm from tickling alone, as a matter of fact it is quite yummy

 

[TicklesFemales]

Just a comment on this thread. I personally have tickled women into having an orgasm before just from tickling her in all the right places. So yes women can orgasm just from being tickled alone just as Kitten Toes explained. I love tickling ticklish women into having an orgasm without having sex with them. I actually love tickling more than sex. If that is weird then I am weird. I do enjoy sex but tickling a very ticklish woman can even get me to cum without having sex, or after I tickle someone I can relief myself. I am not here to look for sex with anyone in this forum but I am here to look for ticklish women to tickle. Have a nice Holiday Season everyone.

From tickling alone? Oh yeah! While the majority of my play with people is simply that (playful), it is most definitely not the only show in town.

When Drew & I play, there are no rules or limits. If he's doing a good job on me, it can certainly happen. And don't sell tickling short, folks! Even with no genital stimulation, a good tickling can still lead to orgasm. I've seen videos where vibrators are used to get the model to cum. Sometimes, it seems real. Other times it doesn't. But, in either case, I tend to feel like the ler is cheating. I want to scream, "This is supposed to be a TICKLE video. Just tickle her to that point!"

Why the perception of fakes and cheaters? As with anything else, how we feel about what we see tends to be colored by our own personal experiences. So, of course, if we know there are other ways of doing things, we're going to respond accordingly. For me, the fun can go on longer and be much more intense and enjoyable if we don't try to force things.

Besides, backing off and denying it, letting the tickling alone build and take you on a ride, is so much better than forcing it!

 

[Sleepy Jean]

My first few boyfriends absolutely refused to tie me up! Honest.

I'm ashamed to say I was too afraid to ask any boys to tie me up. I had to fall in love to get up the nerve to ask to be bound for sex, and tickled as a form of foreplay.

Just because she doesn't stop what she's doing and shriek "OhGodOhGodOhGod. I'm coming! OO OO OO AAA" does not mean it hasn't happened.

I can't speak for other women, but I would say from personal experience that it is NOT hard to orgasm while being tickled.

Right on, KT! I rarely scream the name of the almighty when I come, and I do not announce that I'm coming because I think all my lovers have been astute enough to know I'm coming.

It isn't hard to orgasm while being tickled, although at my age it's harder than it used to be. When I was younger 20 minutes of my feet being tickled or 10-15 minutes on my nipples and/or vagina would have my eyes rolling into the back of my head.

How about an orgasm from the tickling alone? People always seem to forget that one. That's also entirely possible. I should know- it's even happened to me in front of people. At NEST, actually, during a "tickle demo" in 2006 and again at NEST 2007.

Orgasm from tickling alone is absolutely possible. It has happened to me I'd guess hundreds of times. That's what I love about being a woman, multiple orgasms.

The time in 2006 was after about a 1/2 hour of continuous tickling. I was in my undies and securely strapped down to a table, so I couldn't protect any of my ticklish spots. I'd really been fighting off an orgasm for about 15 minutes, because I always get more ticklish afterwards- not a good thing when you are already hyper-ticklish and tied down, without a safeword...

I hear you there. I'm soooooo much more ticklish after I come. Fortunately, in most cases my husband gives me a break after I climax, allowing me a time to come down from my high before he resumes tickling me. Sometimes after an orgasm he will employ another form of torture. Tickling is not our only kinky activity.

Obviously these things happen all the time- I've just limited my description to the 2 times when I had lots of witnesses. I can't possibly be the only one who has had these kinds of experiences.

You certainly aren't the only one, my dear soul sister. A middle aged woman in Indiana comes all the time from bondage and relentless tickle-torture.

So, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. The questions to address include: Does tickling prevent you from reaching orgasm, or not? Does it, in fact, help? Can you orgasm from tickling alone? Does the setting (i.e public or private) affect your response?

Let's discuss!

Tickling doesn't prevent me from coming. It stimulates orgasm for me. And I sure can (and do) reach orgasm from tickling alone. The last question is one Jean can't answer, as she has only been tickle-tortured in private.

Happy holidays to all

 

[luvgirlsfeet]

With myself I have had orgasms while doing the tickling and both hands were on her feet at the time

 

[Deleted member 66627]

Does tickling prevent you from reaching orgasm, or not? Does it, in fact, help?

No. I don't think so. It makes for a more intense/amusing orgasm, though.

For me, it helps. I realized that with an ex boyfriend of mine who mixed tickling with oral. That was probably one of the most intense orgasms I've ever had. It also made me realize how triggered I am to tickling.

Can you orgasm from tickling alone? Does the setting (i.e public or private) affect your response?

I think I can, yes. Due to being ticklish on certain spots that can be used just for sexual stimulation. The feeling is conflicting, but one that still can be considered as tickling, despite where it's located.

I've figured out how to orgasm without making noise, so I would be ten times more apt to cum quietly if I was for God knows WHAT reason to happen to even reach orgasm in public.

Privately, I would feel more comfortable showing that release. So, yes, setting would strongly affect my response.

I control my sexual response though. Always. Even with the change in setting.

 

[sean901]

Wow, this all sounds awesome. I cant wait for the day i meet a woman who is actually turned on from being tickled.
I know there are plenty out there, just none of the girls i have met so far, or i guess maybe i just never had the confidence to try it out.

 

[Sleepy Jean]

I feel your pain, Sean. It's so hard to find someone with whom you are truly compatible, you might not want to see a potentially good relationship dissolve over a fetish your partner could find creepy. But keep looking hon. I hope you find her and enjoy tickling as part of your sexual personae.

Love,
Jean

I've been able to achieve orgasm through tickling (and, honestly, with me it's the end of the means anyway), but only when tickled down there, lightly (or just under down there -- you know the spot 😉 ).

Which begs another question: How many people are ticklish on their sex organs, and how ticklish are you there?

 

[BellaRisa]

Does tickling prevent you from reaching orgasm, or not? Does it, in fact, help? Can you orgasm from tickling alone? Does the setting (i.e public or private) affect your response?

Tickling and orgasm are inseperable for me, always have been. The buildup to orgasm and the building of intensity of a good tickling are such similar and entwined sensations that I can't imagine one without the other, frankly. I can definitely orgasm from tickling alone. The setting definitely affects things, I'm not able to orgasm in too public an arena; it's a deeply private thing for me and just being aware of too many other people kills my ability to reach that level of pleasure.

 

[Feathery]

I had a girlfriend who came very hard from being tickled! Just light tickles on her armpits and breasts would make her so incredibly wet... it was beautiful!

 

[Chloe_Vlad]

I am VERY ticklish on my genitals, which was a difficult position to be in when I had sex with someone who was not into tickling. I would laugh because I couldn't help it and the situation almost always went sour. Thank goodness my hubby is a 'ler and enjoys me laughing.

Regarding the inital part of this thread, I separate orgasms. I can have full body orgams from being tickled that start in any number of places on my body and then reach everywhere. I also have genital orgams from being tickled.

One thing I am having a hard time with is being tickled while having intercourse. I love it but it is sensory overload. I have a hard time paying attention to one thing or the other which frustrates me.

 

[Spenser]

Kitten Toes,

I've just limited my description to the 2 times when I had lots of witnesses.

That was delightful to watch too! You and Libertine work so perfectly together.

For us, as we've gotten older, and a lil' bit out of practice, we don't get around to that as much as we used to. But since tickling is one of our several kinks, M has reached orgasm from variety of stimuli since we met in '91 -- in more intimate situations. Initially SM play, but later adding tickle torture to the mix of play styles.

While the response is an 'end' to the purpose, she resists the tickle stimulus almost with more vigor than she resists a good solid cane stroke. Thus the 'come' is a result of a sort of 'final surrendering' to the tickle stimulus. And in these instances it is a result of the tickling only. But it --is-- an emotional reaction which triggers it.

When we play in public, the environment is more open, less intense and less private, so while Melinda will play with several folks (she's sort of a tickle switch, while more of a Ler), the social atmosphere precludes intimate moments...

Thanx Jean xxx
I just hope it's sooner rather than later or i'm gonna go crraaaazzyy!!!!!!

I understand, and I'm sure the dilemma guys like you face is that I'm certain there are more men who get off on tickling women than women who get hot from being tickled. But good luck to you. I wish you well, and I wish more of my sisters would open their minds to the idea of tickling as a sexual pleasure.

As for being ticklish on my genitalia, YES I AM!!! It is such delicious agony to be tied spread-eagled to the bedposts, so tight than movement is impossible, and to be tortured by having a pointed feather or a tiny paintbrush tickle my pussy lips, with me helpless to do anything but endure it. I'm frequently reduced to tears after about 10 minutes of having my vagina tickled.

Love,
Jean

I am the same way.. it can be very arrousing but with others around just not willing to allow myself to reach that level.. but have had the pleasure more than one time from tickling alone.

 

[gadren]

Wow, this has been very informative!
Since this thread was started by something I said, I kind of wish someone had sent me a message or something about it earlier, lol...

I've been able to achieve orgasm through tickling (and, honestly, with me it's the end of the means anyway), but only when tickled down there, lightly (or just under down there -- you know the spot 😉 ).

This is actually another part of the reason why I believed what I did about tickling interfering with orgasms, but I didn't want to mention it before.

I'm RIDICULOUSLY ticklish on my cock. There are honestly no words to describe how much so. However, this has also made it so that BJs tickle me more than "stimulate" me, and I've found that I'm not able to cum when being tickled (even though I do love being tickled as much as I hate it.)
