Hmm, I swear I have some stuff in my files that's relevant to this topic....
AH HA!
My time lurking here and at the Theater turned up these little gems. Not outright tickle-centered material (I think the comic itself was more focused around BDSM), but it proves that publishers were at least aware of this little kink. I also know somewhere out there that someone posted an old 8mm stag film from back in the old days that had tickling make up a good portion of the footage. Something about Sorority girls in hosiery.
Anyway, if anything, this post reinforces the idea that the tickling community still existed back in the day, but it was probably much less mainstream...
Has anyone seen the new line of PS3 Commercials? A kid calls up to complain about how he cant use his PS3 because his grandmother keeps using it. The PS3 guy makes the case that all she had to play with when she was younger was a stick. Its actually pretty funny. Just reminded me of this thread.

I think that people 50 years ago were too busy churning butter, gelding horses, buidling barns, and inventing fire to worry about tickling.

Well, I'm only 59, but I can tell you that 40 years ago there was very little fetish material available. I could hunt in adult book stores through hundreds of publications and find maybe one story or photo that referred to tickling. That started to change in the with the House of Milan magazines in the mid 1970's.
Obviously the ability to try to interest spouses or dates in tickling activity has always existed.
Just turned 50 seriously thought I was the only one who was turned on by tickling while growing up in the 60s and 70s. I could have never dreamed that I would have the access to the subject I have today. If I had this kind of access in the 80s and 90s I wouldnt have spent so much money to satisfy my needs for tickling material.
Those pics are Awesome! Heh heh... Chicks were named "Muriel" back then 🙂
The tickling community's not all that 'mainstream' in 2009....
I'll bet some caveman was tickling his cavewoman with the feathery end of his spear while fending off Sabre Tooth Tigers with the pointy end
50 years ago everybody who was enjoying something else than the majority of people was brought to an asylum and cured with electric shock therapy. 😀
Those must have been some lonely times... no internet, no community, nothing

50 years ago a man could hit his wife and get away with it. A (male) tickle fetishist would probably just hold his wife down and tickle her whenever he wanted, and not be questioned.
We also had Leave It To Beaver and Uncle Miltie. For the more adventurous there was 77Sunset Strip and Steve Allen on the Tonight Show!!![]()
50 years ago? Live in secrecy. If you were discovered, THIS would happen to you:
