My personal strategy?
>Egg ‘em on by poking them and squeezing their sides
>Overreact like hell if they get you back
>Like even if you are ticklish (I am) act like MUCH more ticklish
>Depending on who they are, they could tease you for it, apologize or ask you if you want them to stop
>If they react in a way that’s positive or apologetic, respond with either
>”I like it too”
>or “It’s okay, don’t worry, I like it”
>At this stage, they either have a positive attitude towards tickling or they don’t, it really depends on the person
>If it’s positive, keep up the play every now and then without pushing it any further until it just becomes a normal part of your relationship
>After a while of this, pick a time you deem suitable to sit down and admit that you maybe also might be attracted to tickling sexually
>If this has been a sorta regular thing, they’re more likely to take this well, but it’s never 100% certain
>If they do, celebrate a job well done by screaming “let’s fucking go” at the top of your lungs right in front of your partner
>Alternatively, they might just figure it out before you even admit it, because people aren’t always completely clueless and most have access to the internet
>Yadda yadda, they’ll take it good or bad, you get it
I’ve used this strategy on a couple partners, and it worked out more often than not. Not a perfect way to go about it, nothing really is, but it’s worked out for me a few times at the very least. Though it probably helps that I’m leaning more lee, I dunno (audible shrug)
