    A few years ago, I discovered that tickling really turns me on. I like to be tickled, but even more, I like to tickle my partners, especially when they are tied down. I find myself fantasizing about it, and just the thought of tickling excites me. I sometimes wonder if it’s a fetish or a sexual perversion. If tickling is my preferred sexual activity, am I a pervert? Or is it just harmless fun?

    People do lots of things in bedrooms. Even if you think it’s perverted, what does it hurt? Nothing. So go for it.

    I say as long as it’s between consenting adults, go for it and enjoy.

    Webster’s definition No. 3 of ‘fetish’: “An object whose real or fantasized presence is psychologically necessary for sexual gratification.” Don’t stress over words. If you find tickling fun and your partner is agreeable, then just enjoy. It is no more perverted than having to have dessert to make a meal seem complete.

    Tickling is a very fine line for me — when my wife means to tickle, it tickles and is annoying. When she doesn’t start meaning to tickle, strokes that would otherwise tickle beyond belief are very arousing in a way that no other stroke could be. So it depends — if your idea of tickling has a torture component to it, no, it wouldn’t do much for me. But if your intent was to arouse and even enjoy my squirming, my cup would runneth over.

    It has been said that each person has a fetish of some kind. I think there´s nothing better than seeing guys in sleeveles shirts. Weird, eh?

    Yes, Tickling is a fetish. Just go to a search engine and type in tickling fetish and thousands of websites come up. There are numerous porn videos relating to it. Its a fairly large fetish among people. Your definitely not the only one out there with that particular fetish.

    I doubt that anybody, even the most conservative among us, would call the sexual enjoyment of tickling perverted. It’s a sensual pleasure, and a simple, cheap one at that. Sounds like a nice fetish to have – although my boyfriend hates tickling, so he would probably kill me if I developed it.

    Stephanie: I’m just curious about your labeling yourself as a lesbian, because you mention a boyfriend. I am not judging, am purely curious. My boyfriend thinks I have lesbian tendencies because I like lesbian porn better than straight porn.

    But seriously, virtually anything you do sexually is a fetish. And as ‘things to do’ go, tickling is certainly fine and dandy. I’ve tickled several lovers several times, always to our mutual enjoyment – I am pretty ‘playful’ in bed. Also, during the early stages of an ongoing relationship, tickling can be a great way to ease away performance-related anxieties and nervousness.

    Tickling, in the sense that you’re talking about, is definitely a fetish. It’s in the same column as any other BDSM (bondage-domination-sado-masochism) fetish activities. On mutual consent, someone is tied up and subjected to stimuli that are extreme and/or which force the restrained party to relinquish control — tickling is a pain-related sensation and also causes the submissive party to basically lose control. Many people find this set of circumstances arousing, both for the submissive party and the dominating party. It’s certainly not perverted, though … as long as everyone involved is a consenting adult, BDSM activities can be a healthy psychological and emotional release. By the way, there are plenty of outlets for this particular fetish, and plenty of websites dedicated to tickling as well.

    I think that most psychological professionals define a ‘fetish’ as an activity that is chosen instead of traditional sex. For example, there a people, mostly men, that get sexually excited by womens high heel shoes, and they are incapable of enjoying sex unless a woman’s high heel shoe is somehow involved in the act. In other words a person might choose rubbing his crotch with a high heel shoe over intercourse to climax. That is how I understand a ‘fetish’. Now it sounds to me that tickling to you is a form a foreplay that leads to sex, as opposed to doing it instead of sex. Tickling is a mystery. It’s not pain, yet it can be used as a form of torture. My theory is that tickle is pleasure taken to an extreme beyond the body’s ability to handle it. Then there are people that are not ticklish at all although I believe that they are not ticklish in the common areas that most people are. Its fascinating to me that tickling make feet and arm pits vulnerable parts of the body, and more many they are the most repulsive parts of the body. The bottom line is that if it is what you enjoy and your partner can handle it then go for it. I think you doubts are routed in the fears of people you know being tickled. Follow your heart and not the fears of others.

    I first met my ex-boyfriend when he was identifying as female, then after we’d been dating for a few months, he told me he was transgendered and would prefer to live as a male. I still identify as mostly lesbian/queer though.
