What do you think when see tickling or hear tickling being mentioned IRL?

[bluey1]

This might sound strange, but because we're/you're "into" tickling. Does it actually feel weird/strange/funny if/when someone mentions Tickle, or someone being Ticklish, someone being Tickled or you see someone tickled IRL?
Or, it could be on a TV show. Everyone sees tickling happening but doesn't take any notice of it. But you do?

It can be strange. In a way I get embarrassed. It reminds me of what I'm into but IRL it's never talked about, or performed, as a fetish. I do my best to conceal my interest. TMF is the only place I can discuss it.

Yeah I agree with that, oddly enough.

Yeah. I don't get embarrassed as such. But I'm the same. It reminds me of what I'm into. And I totally conceal my interest. And while I'm not ashamed of it, and I have one friend I can talk about it to as a "fetish". If it's brought up, seen, or done casually, I still conceal my interest. And outside of that one friend, TMF is the only place I can discuss it.

I get excited inside, but too embarrassed to let my interest be known. I remember being petrified of my parents finding out about my interest in tickling, thinking they’d just find a way to tease me about it (not in a good way) - I always did my best to hide my reactions from them.

I'm almost the same. I didn't think my parents would tease me about it. They might. But that they would just think I was a weirdo. Not just my parents, but alot of friends.

I'm abit of a Lee so people have noticed when I instinctively clench my sides

Not strange at all. I remember an incident years ago at a company meeting. Everyone was standing around chatting before going back to work. I found myselt right behind two female friends of mine. One of them started lightly poking the side of the other one, and it clearly tickled her. If her friend had gone much further she would have collapsed onto the floor because she was so ticklish. I hid my interest pretty well, even though I was aroused. 🙂

Yes I agree fully, or anything to do with feet (I have foot fetish too) I almost feel embarrassed. Silly thing is I know no one probably thinks about for a second, but in my mind I panic thinking others will suddenly see what I like/into lol

It’s an immediate hault and find an escape route. Super uncomfortable

People are usually very business focused in circles I've been in, so tickling is rare.

When I was in my teens, yes I would feel some awkwardness. But now, I absolutely love every aspect of it including acting coy and seeing if I can interject a comment about it and gage reactions.
