Would you permanently change your tickling fetish for a socially accepted turn-on?

[Master_Magnus]

I'd never get rid of this fetish. Honestly, the only thing most people need in order to feel comfortable with it is to meet other like-minded folks that understand how they feel. Not everyone has that opportunity, obviously, but trust me when I say it definitely helps.

Easy to say, almost impossible to be done. How can I know who is and isn't into tickling in real life without risking to reveal yourself to the the wrong kind of people? And how can you guarantee that the ones to whom you reveal yourself will keep it to themselves (if I could have such I guarantee I would hire prostitutes for sessions including both tickling and sex but I can't trust them).

 

[footkiller]

tickling forever!!!!

 

[Celerich]

I stick with my opinion. I'd bother me too much to change a part of who I am, especially if it's something that isn't harmful. Having a tickle or foot fetish, as is my case, can be an inconvenience, I suppose, but it's really not as bad as it seems. Sure, the occasional hard on cause some girl just slipped her shoes off, but that's life. It's like your girlfriend getting angry because someone else in the world made you go hard. It's silly.
Oh, and it isn't necessary to meet other people that are like you, In my opinion. I think the whole fetish being weird/hindrance is blown out of proportion.
This is probably a good time to mention that I'm not angry or hateful about the opinions here, as I just read what I typed and realized that it could be taken that way. I just don't think that anything to remove a fetish should ever be invented. Yes yes, freedom to do what you want with your life and all that, but it'd be a waste of time and energy. Let's say you remove your fetish. Tada! Your life hasn't changed, any more than dyeing your hair. Sure, no more random boners, but on the bad side, no more enjoyment from the playful tickling, or the good feelings you get from giving a good foot massage.

Rant done. Sorry, I'm pretty talkative right now. Buh-Bye!

hmm o crap a mental challenge to someone of my advanced years..*sighs*..hmm let me think on this..and hello fellow TTer's get your collective asses in gear here..we need a new poll...pole...poll...hmm...*giggles*

Okay which is better Coke or Pepsi?

 

[David Tyler]

oh HELL NO. I like all of my little kinks. This one especially. It really spices up sex.

I love my love of feet and tickling them!!!! Hell no I say!

I think that something that removes a fetish should be invented for people who want to change themselves. It's not like the change is forced on anyone. Take Magnum Opus for example. It grants everlasting youth (if you don't believe it check the history characters that lived several centuries, were deemed gods and were killed eventually). Some people consider longevity boring, while others want to live as much as possible. It's the choice of every individual to do whatever they want with their own life and destiny,and freedom consist in being able to change whatever you don't like about yourself, not being forced to accept and embrace your negative aspects just because someone else has them to and they dont want anyone to be able to remove them. It's like being born with ape feet. Some may consider them useful because they can be used like hands, while others may consider them ugly and want normal feet. Those who want to keep them should keep them, and those who want them changed should be able to have them changed. And the problem is when a fetishist is turned on a lot by his or her fetish, but vanilla stuff is barely if at all turning him or her on then that person is doomed to sexual isolation. Anyway I'm trying to deal with it now with meditation and watching vanilla porn.

 

[UPENDDOWNRIGHT]

You know with today's society in my opinion I would really think that it would be better to have a tickle fetish. It helps you,... cause well around 40% of woman aren't satisfyed with they sex life after marriage. apparently cause men only go for sex as pump in and pump out none of the romantic and sexy stuff. So... fetish spices it up.

 

[Miss Sassy1]

I would give it up because I don't wanna think of tickling as sexual. That would be the only reason why I would give up that fetish.

 

[Tenchilada]

hell no. i love my foot and tickle fetish. most of my friends are female, and after a hard day, they all love a good foot rub. and they're all extremely ticklish and dont mind that i tickle them a bit. none of them know, but it makes me feel mysterious. you gotta embrace stuff like it. so what if its not "socially accepted". socially accepted things are usually boring. i love feet. they're so easy to see. i've gotten caught staring in the past, but so what?
"are you looking at me feet?" "no." "ok."
its not hard to deny. and besides. i dont know why but the feeling of gettin caught is pretty great for some reason. i guess because i never get caught doin anything, but when i stare, i STARE but either way, i wouldnt trade my fetishes for any other.

 

[Atomsk648]

I would never change. I love my tickle and foot fetishes (as well as a few others deemed socially odd.) 😛 They give me certain advantages. I have magic hands perfect for tickling and massages so I get to indulge myself every once in a while from a few grateful friends that love foot massages. 😀

(And feet are the easiest part of a woman to see, especially in summer 😉)

 

[Relent<]

I'd rather be me than a pedophile, or a creepy teacher.
I like to think of my fetish as more of a superpower. Lol

 

[Breygon]

what be a more 'socially acceptable' turn-on?

 

[DaDebble]

I voted no. Maybe it's a stupid answer, but I'm very happy with my quirks. Also, I prefer to help society to become more open-minded sexually and to play a role in it. Not saying that people who don't feel anything for tickling to be closed-minded of course, but understanding that some people do is a whole lot.
Actually I don't care with the majority think, I don't feel attracted to most vanilla people.

I don't see anything romantic in tickling, and why all the fuss for romanticism and tenderness. Those men that go straight for sex, and "pump in and pump out" as you said are masculine men, and they know what they want and need. If a woman accepts having sex great, if not there's no problem, there are plenty wenches that would cherish the great honor of having me. I don't think there's any need for the sweet poisonous deceit that is called Romanticism. There's no room for tenderness. Not in the order of steel-stallion riding knights (I'm talking about bikers here) like there was no room for tenderness in Sparta. Being tender is associated with being feeble. Sex is as normal a function as others (like eating, breathing, smoking, bathing, sleeping etc), there's no need to make it taboo, no need to call the women that have sex with lots of guys guys *****s, or anything like that, cause that's just foolish prejudice. If a gal that has sex with a lot of guys is to be called a *****, than someone who eats at several restaurants or drinks at several bars, or hangs out with a lot of friends, or changes the cigarette brand or buys clothes from different stores is also to be called a *****, is it not (following the stupid society philosophy)?! Diversity is essential, diversity is what sets us above animals, diversity is what keeps us from going insane with monotony, but sex is the only thing that any last individual belonging to the human race enjoys most, so sex without love and romanticism is great. And to spice up the sex there are plenty erotic games not involving tickling like for example coating your cock in chocolate cream and having your partner lick it off for example, although I my sexual instinct allows me to make a girl hotter than fire with lust using only vanilla foreplay. Unfortunately that vanilla foreplay does not turn me on as much as tickling and that's my problem. And if they want to spice up sex with fetish content there are plenty non-tickling socially acceptable fetishes. As for me I will never tickle my newly acquired girlfriend. I'd rather visit a prostitute and pay her to let me tickle her, or even better watch a tickling clip on my phone in the car (that way I don't have to worry that the prostitute will find out who I am and expose me publicly) then come home rock-hard and have sex with her.

Man do you really wanna look like Snitsky in the following video http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x11kof_snitsky-likes-maria-s-feet_sport?!
I know I dont. That giant should be a proud and respected being, and despite his physical might he has been made a fool of because of his actions. Even though I fell the urge sometimes to look at feet, I fight it and only look at them for very a short time, 2 secs at most,usually less then a sec, and only do it when no one's looking at my face so I dont get caught and be made a fool of like Snitsky.

P.S. Is it just me, or did Snitsky had better and whiter teeth in this clip than the abominable teeth he has now?

 

[PurpleStyle]

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would drink an overdose of that potion if it would exist, if just to get rid of this cursed fetish. I'm as sick and as tired of it as possible, and it's just to much, I would do almost anything for a chance to get rid of this fetish that took my life and fucked it, fucked me, my youth, I have to watch in frustration how my peers enjoy the sexual joys of youth while I cant because of this awful fetish that's sucking life out of me like a parasitic monster. So as I said if that potion would exist I would drink an overdose of it. But is there a way to get rid of this fetish, at least lower it as much as possible, or make it disappear completely? Determination is not a problem, I am willing to make it disappear, so if you people know a way I would be able to remove it I would love to hear it.

Last time I checked, we don't live in ancient Greece... and wench? You've got to be joking.

These two posts make everything clear as day. I highlighted all of the particularly telling information. You need to:

1. Stop looking at it like it's a curse. It's a part of who you are, and your hatred/denial of it is the reason it's not working for you.
2. Get over your narrow-minded, pre-conceived notion that women should be grateful just to "receive" you. No offense, but it honestly sounds like you've never actually satisfied a woman before.
3. Get an imagination. It's what we women like most - besides, of course, "massive, throbbing penises of doom that can punch holes in walls." I'm sorry, my friend on IM came up with that one. She cracks me up. XD Of course, she likes imagination too... I asked.

Unless of course you're just trolling and I've been played a fool. Then; well played. Some of the things you say are just too chauvinistic to sound real. XD

If you didn't notice the post where I've added the Snitsky&Maria encounter I post it again. Here it is http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x11kof_snitsky-likes-maria-s-feet_sport? . Did you notice how Big Show is reacting to Snitsky's fetish? Did you notice how humiliated Snitsky is when he leaves the camera sight? In the place I live most people of BOTH genders react like Show did in the video when it comes to foot fetish and tickling. And if something like that is shown on tv, you can imagine that it became even more unacceptable than before. A guy on this forum on another thread adviced a girl that wanted to apply for a job as a tickle model not to, because she may want to marry a high-ranked man later in her life and he will not marry her because she was a tickle model. Could that mean that tickling is something honorable or is it quite the contrary? As much as I would perhaps like to embrace it the environment I live in doesn't let me, and it is something that only comes from my subconsciousness like an instinct, a neural path perhaps that links tickling to arousal, not something I consciously enjoy. The reason that makes me see it as a curse is because it adds so many unnecessary complications to my life, so much energy wasting in scheming and planning, and so much repulsion from the society, how should I introduce it someone if I want to indulge my fetish, can I trust that person will keep it a secret, won't that person try to blackmail me by revealing it, what are the odds of being discovered and so on. If I was a vanilla person things would've been so simple. When I said that women should be honored (not grateful as you said, there's a difference) I said it because I'm proud of who I am, and I have what to be proud of. I am good looking, I am smart, I know a lot of things, I read very much, I know history, I am philosophic and I even practice occult arts. That is something to be really proud of. When two partners have an orgasm their spirits mix together, for a brief amount of time they become the same person, so for that brief amount of time she is soaked in my qualities (after all sex is the most intimate human relationship, you cant get more intimate with a person than having sex with that person), isn't that an honor for her? And after all my country has far more women than man so it's in their interest to look sexy and behave nicely or they will be overlook. As for imagination I have a lot but as I said earlier already I grow weary of wasting my energy in creating schemes that yield no results. Perhaps after I graduate the university I will relocate in Amsterdam, I'm a citizen of the European Union after all. There must be a lot of fetish models in the Red Light District and I'm pretty sure I will afford one. Perhaps the socially unaccepted fetishes are taken more lightly in that society. As for my way of talking, that's how I like to talk, I'm not trolling or anything.

[DaDebble]

I don't care if many people don't understand our fetish. I usually don't stumble upon problems like this with girls I like. I know of women whose reaction would be: 'Feet? :') haha crazy guy!' to just use their feet to their advantage later on. I even know of women who find out your foot fetish without you ever telling them, as if it grew by instinct.
Some people are more open-minded, even if it doesn't float their boats. Also, a human mind is easy to change and manipulate. Women/girls might find something weird at first and become more fanatic in it later on, doesn't work with anyone of course.
Also, there are lots of 'weirder' fetishes around there. I think that watersports fetish (for instance) is nowadays more accepted than tickling fetish, but I think the disgust reaction would be far stronger with this one.

Just don't think you're an outcast and try to be more confident for yourself. Maybe it's harder to do if you live in a "shame culture". Over here we're sexually no prudes, and as long as you don't throw your fantasies in public people tend to be very open-minded, especially when you're in a relationship with someone you really love.
I see in ticklephiles a lot of unsure people, more so than in other fetishes. You make it way worse than it actually is and that's a bummer.

 

[Master_Magnus]

You know, sometimes I was thinking, maybe I make it a big thing when it actually isn't, but those videos from the links I posted...well those make me think that I was actually right. What was the last time you saw a person that's not into tickling to actually cherish a tickling video, or at least say he/she accepts it? Sometimes I think the only way to indulge this fetish is paying a prostitute, and not just any prostitute, but a fetish model with a lot of experience to be sure she already met ticklers before. And my country kinda lacks fetish models. There are a lot of women here, a lot of prostitutes both in brothels, on the streets and on the highway,some are students that need money and they are good looking, some are junkies that need money to sate that never-ending thirst for coke or whatever their fix is and these last ones look like shit but most of these wenches are vanilla and I don think they ever heard about tickling fetish. Every few days or weeks I seek on the most popular advertising site a fetish model prostitute and so far I've only found one that claimed she could either play the role of a mistress or a slave depending on the customer's wishes. I tried to contact her of course via email and was gonna visit her wearing a mask so she wouldn't recognize me but she didn't answer my emails, another fetish model isn't to be found so I guess it ain't that simple with prostitutes either, but as I said in a previous post, if I would manage to relocate to Amsterdam, well I guess that city knows everything there is to be known about about sex and fetishes, and I'm pretty sure I will find models there that are specifically tickle-oriented so I wont have to worry about them judging me. I'm not worried that a vanilla prostitute would judge me with loud voice, she may even put up with it especially if I offer more money than her normal charge, but she may think ill of me and as proud as I am I really care about the impression I make even to them, or perhaps especially to them. That's actually not something unusual, all men start flexing their muscles in front of prostitutes, trying to make an impression, trying to make the prostitute respect their manhood and not only the money they are paying.

I think any fetishist would want the society to be more open-minded but I don't think that would happen anytime soon.

Those links are predictable and you take them too seriously 😉. The first one is acted bullshit and macho talk, the second one is also a spoof by a girl who isn't into it (she deliberately portrays tickle fetishists as creeps because she's shamelessly has been asked to act in a tickling video while she's only seventeen).

What was the last time you saw a person that's not into tickling to actually cherish a tickling video, or at least say he/she accepts it?

Well, in general I didn't have a problem with finding girls who like to be tickled occasionally. And because they notice it turns me on, I usually don't even have to say it's my thing.
Also, I try to find out what floats her boat. It's not easy always, but sometimes you find it out without even mentioning it. On two occasion I have mentioned that I'm into tickling and both of the times she was fine by it.

Best thing to do is not fixate on a fetish. Make sure to be open-minded yourself. Personally it was rarely a problem for me. I usually date with hippie types of girl, despite being right-wing (liberal) myself.

Still, it has to be said. I don't think most fetish models are into tickling. Many people enjoy it are people you don't even know of. Also, of those who are not into it, some are 'potentially into it'. I think it works for 30% or more of the women, not sure. Usually when I allow a tie to grow with a woman I have already noticed her being open-minded.

Sometimes I think the only way to indulge this fetish is paying a prostitute, and not just any prostitute, but a fetish model with a lot of experience to be sure she already met ticklers before. And my country kinda lacks fetish models. (...)

Well, they remain prostitutes and their only goal is making money, but if it really fails to find your preference elsewhere, they may help spice up your sex life. Also, where you're from?
In Belgium people don't openly talk about fetishes or anything, but here people aren't prudes neither (certainly not privately; though of course they also ridicule fetishes, but I don't let that get to me and I also am able to enjoy sex without tickling, and am able to get to tickle most of the girls anyway).

I live in an Eastern European country and people here are quite lusty when it comes to sex and really are very much against fetishes, especially fetishes you don't often hear about like tickling. What the males in my country want is sex, as much sex a possible, without love, without to much foreplay, with no side effects, no additional complications, and they don't even bother to try to hide anymore. That's what I've been taught myself, "Fuck as, much as you can especially when you're still young!". You can see men staring at girls asses or tits but I never saw anyone staring at a girl's feet (I don't look at them myself). Now how would be like to be the only one staring at feet while everyone else is staring at tits. And you don't know how my people are. When it comes to mockery they are cruel and merciless. When they find any bit of ridiculousness even in their best friend they don't miss the slightest occasion to mock it. I mocked girls I've seen tickling each other myself in a harsh way to mask my thing for it, to be sure that they won't see through my disguise, to confuse their insight. After all my people are proud and aggressive people. We have a history of centuries of war, mostly against the Turkish Empire, never allowing them to cross deeper into the north-west of Europe. Vlad the Impaler, Stephan the Great, or Mihai Bravu (aka Leonidas of Oltenia, the title some historians gave him for his unwavering courage and superlative battle skill, strength and agility. He slaughtered an entire regiment of turkish cavalry single-handed and humiliated their commander during a battle) or Mircea the Elder, or Alexander Lapusneanul (who gathered a foreign army and slaughtered all the rebellious nobility that rose against him and organized a coup) are the example of what my people are like. I guess that's something genetically built within us and we will be always a bit brutal, like our ancient and medieval warrior forefathers, especially us heavy metal types of persons, but would relocating in other country except from Holland help anything? Even if people are more gentle in other countries, they would reject tickling in a more polite way, but still reject it. Do you know a specific country where the people are openly about fetishes, or at least open minded enough not to talk ill about them? No other place comes to my mind then the Red Light district, I don't think there's another place on the face of Earth where you can find more acceptance, and even better there you find pure sex without the needless attachment called love because the only things I want from women are sex, tickling and respect, and in return I can offer respect, money and pleasure, but if they want love they wont find any from me.
