Who have you told?

[mysticsvn]

Most of my friends know and every girl I have dated knew and went along with it. I haven't had any real negative experiences with it. A couple of friends made fun of me a little but not to be mean. Then again, all my friends are perverts too

 

[Senbab]

in a word? Nobody.

 

[makemlaugh2003]

I've told people in the past...

...a couple of close friends in college knew (even women, two or three that would regularly "indulge" me), my ex-wife knew, but here lately, I find it's best I keep it to myself in real life. I have enough self-confidence issues as it is while trying to present myself generally as "normal" to the world. I think it's very important to pick your spots, be as a rule guarded and selective about extending your trust, and remember that an ideal situation to "reveal yourself" to someone will pop up naturally if it's meant to be.

 

[toneus79]

I didn't want my friends to know because I assumed that I would have that "freak" label and people would think it was wierd.

And my family will NEVER EVER EVER know. Never.

Yes same here on both counts.

The only people I have ever told are: My employer, my bank manager, the judge when I was in court on a motoring offence, the guy who delivers the bread, the girl who runs the sweet kiosk at the cinema, some idiot who nearly ran into me on his bike, the landlord at my local pub, and everyone on Friends Reunited (not just the ones I went to school with).

 

[ms.brightside]

Every person that I have been romantically involved with has known.

However, I have always made it a point not to tell my friends (unless they wound up being more than just friends that is).

 

[TicklishLurker]

I've learned to not tell anyone.

I'm a fan of Kevin Smith's movies. Clerks, Dogma, etc. Over on his message board we talk really dirty sometime and confess our sexual secrets. I told them about my fetish for tickling and for women's feet.

Except for a professional Domme, no one over there is accepting of it. They all call me weird, a freak, stupid.

They're willing to accept people who like to be pissed/crapped/vomited on. They are accepting of people who like to be cut themselves. They're accepting of the most sick, twisted, yet legal sexual practices out there.

But they think that a fetish for tickling and/or feet is sick, wrong, and that we all need serious psychological help.

So, I don't tell anymore.

 

[myfeet]

shhh

no one knows accept my ex's and you, but i love to tickle and most of all be tickled

 

[Luv2Tickle69]

There are some in my family that know....but I don't think they know to what EXTENT....

Most of my female friends also know (on more extensive levels), given how I'd tickled many of them...and a solid number of them actually liked it!

And, all but one g/f knew as well....(the one who didn't, well...we just weren't together long enough....and it was just as well....).

.....now...here's some words of wisdom to those who are perhaps bashful about saying it for fear of being labeled a 'freak...':

I don't chastise anyone for having a bizarre or unusual sexual/sensual fetish or interest. Hell...for a good number of years, I thought I was in 'left-field' a little for having such an intense fascination with female feet and tickling....but as years went by, and I learned just what ELSE there was out there that turn people on (and legitimately too!!)...I started feeling LESS and LESS freaky, virtually by the minute!

Those I've mentioned that knew/know...never thought me a 'freak.' Some might've thought it a bit unusual, or strangely interesting....but the responses AND interactions were largely positive and rewarding. Maybe I've been lucky in that regard...I don't know....but to those who keep it as down-low as they feel necessary, NEVER be ashamed or embarrassed....it's part of who you are and what separates you from anyone else. YOU know something that a lot of other people DON'T...and would never be open-minded enough to try and experience. And while finding others who SHARE that interest (outside of a forum such as this, or other similar links) can be like finding a needle in a haystack....don't let it frustrate you to the point of ceasing your quests. Again...given just what the hell's out there these days...us foot/tickle lovers are FAR tamer and 'innocent' in scope (as fetishes go).

I don't tell anyone except significant others. With my current gf, I never even needed to figure out a way to tell her that I am a ticklephile as it soon became clear to me that she is one too. Our very first date ended with us on the couch tickling each other, among other things. So that was just very fortunate for me. As for family and friends, I really have no desire to tell them. My family wouldn't really care and I don't think they'd understand, so its just something that doesn't strike me as a relevant conversation. As for my friends, they probably would be fine with it, but we all make fun of each other so much and naturally give each other such a hard time that I don't need to be giving away free information that could be used against me.

 

[CTTklLvr]

nobody knows except an old girlfriend.... and I just spent time with her family (they are family friends) out in Oregon last week. Since they didn't say anything the secret is safe, lol

 

[ChosenofMystra]

Do the people at TMF count?

Seriously though, I haven't told anyone about my love for tickling. I guess I'm too self-concious about what people might think (oh the horrors of living in a conservative community)

 

[makeUsquirm]

I think my actions have spoken louder than my words on this one. The female friends I have that I tickle whenever the opportunity arises have pretty much figured it out on their own.

 

[4Pawz]

Some of my friends know. My family has no need to know the info. It's not a matter of they can't know, it's I don't want them to know, it's private.

Telling my family is like finding your parent's stash of sex toys, it's eeeeeeeewwwwwww. Anyhoots, if people ask about it, I will generally share, unless I'm at work, then I don't talk about my private life much.

 

[grrl]

I don't tell anyone, most people just don't need to know. The only people I have seen face to face that know are people I've met though the TMF.

......although I did tell an ex-boyfriend I liked it when he tickled my feet....now I have a toddler running around....hmmm....

[theniteavenger]

2 of my ex kno,1 friend and i think my sister but i never gonna ask her

 

[pfromptown]

Oh man, I'm far too sensitive too even contemplate it. Maybe a few years down the line (I'm only 19) I'll meet a wonderful woman who's open and cool and honest and smokes pot and likes good music and is unaffected by social stigma, and I'll tell her, and we'll become soulmates and move to central France and have kids and she'll let me tickle her all night long... but I doubt it. The truth is with me If I act like myself too much, I end up with no friends, so I try to appear normal. I'm just far too sensitive to be lonely, so my friends are generally (But not entirely) a bunch of shallow assholes, who would crucify me if they found out. As far as telling girlfriends, most of my girlfriends are the same. It would be like trying to win the lottery without buying a ticket. I'm basically the Dante Hicks type: instead of lifting up the potty lid, I'd rather shit my pants. I'll never be satisfied. And I gotta live with that.

So I guess I've told about 40,000 people, none of whom I have ever met and none of whom I will ever meet. Oh dear.

I think the idea of telling your family (aside from close siblings, perhaps) your sexual habits is kind of strange, but if you're close to them then I could understand it. With mine, there's no reason to tell them. It's not a part of who I am because I never get to do much tickling any more and my sex life is about as active as a celibate stranded on a desert island's (?). I Don't want to be lewd, but it looks as though masturbation is about the only path in front of me.

 

[baby]

my ex boyfriend who showed me how much fun - and more - tickling is, knew of course 🙂 and my best friend knows, thats it. I would never tell anyone of my family.

 

[sfticklegirl]

I can't imagine a reason for telling my family...

I tell people I date that i'm ticklish and it turns me on (i've never gotten a bad reaction to that!), and it's come up in conversation with friends (they usually think it's funny and kinda goofy), but nobody knows it's a fetish or that I have gone to a gathering or am on TMF.

Sometimes I wish I could tell people, but it's my own business, plus i haven't been doing this very long, i'm still trying to figure it all out.

 

[Strider]

I've told my serious girlfriends, that's basically it.

 

[rwd1731]

I've told my wife, and I told one of my best friends (i.e. someone I'd entrust with my life, literally). Outside of this forum, that's probably the last time I'll ever disclose my predilections.

 

[MnE0306]

i have told my gf but thats it...she is very cool about it tho..we have had tons of tickle fina nd she always lets me play with her feet/tickle her..even lifts her arms up and such......even let me tie her uop a time or 2....but she was very cool about it..but im sure some people would think im weird so she is the only one that knows

Reply to question

I told no one as my family and people who know me wuldn't understand and it'smy secret. It keeps me sane in an often insane world!

 

[cloudgazer2k]

i've told a few friends about it...who sometimes try to tease me about my quirks. my parents found out days before i moved out of their house (my dad found the stash of Foot Paradise vids i had bought, and my ropes). and some of the possible girlfriends learned about it during the "introduction" phase. figured i could get the awkwardness portion out of the way and wait and see how they reacted. that's about it.

 

[Amanda]

I think a girl has a better chance of finding a guy who will accept that fetish is okay than a guy finding a girl who will accept it.

I guess the worst chance would be for a girl to find a girl who will accept the fetish 🙄
