>>94966 I was the youngest in a line of siblings that roughhoused a lot. The oldest of us was a girl, and she was a little badass, easily kicking the asses of all of us youngsters, boys or girls. And I just so happened to figure out she was pathetically ticklish. I spent a good part of my early childhood targeting her pits and making her scream that she was too ticklish there, as she didn't have it in her to beat up the littlest guy of our small fight club, which meant I finally managed to win a few of the skirmishes I was a part of. We were very close together too, as the youngest and the eldest sibling. She thought I was the cutest thing, and I had my tickle crush on her going on. Few years later, as I was in the middle of a blossoming tickle fetish, she developed a knack for treating me, again, her youngest sibling, as her own personal slave, for some reason. She even made me sign a contract promising I'd be her servant forever and ever, if I recall. I still managed to turn some of her tasks into tickle scenarios though. Foot massages? Applications of lotion anywhere on her body? Perfect excuses. I tickled her into tears quite a few times after that too. She eventually grew wise to my obsession and started to call me out on it, which forced me to stop, lest I be discovered for the creep that I am. To this day though, she stills jokingly refers to me as 'her little slave'. Bros, I don't think I ever stood a chance. Was I groomed into a tickle fetish?

>>94966 It was Ranamon. I would've been like, 10, 11? Never had a single sexual thought enter my head. I'm eating cereal before going to school, one of the TV stations aired cartoons before school hours, and Digimon was one of them. This scene came on and my jaw hit the floor, it was the first time I had a "god I wish that were me" thought when seeing gifs related. It was pretty much all I could think about for a while, next thing I know I'm on the internet finding art featuring bondage and tickling (KyleDragon website which hosted a bunch of different artists and that tickleague one with all those sailor moon pics.) I went from being an innocent boy to being damn near obsessed with the thought of what it would be like to be restrained and tickle tortured. Damn you, Ranamon.

>>94969 As a fellow Ranamon lover who loves to see guys tickled, I salute you and wish you the best. And I hope I get to watch whenever you do get tied up and tickle tortured until you cry.

There are honestly a couple things that could've been the "canon event" for me. So I guess I can sort of give the highlights. - Tickled my older female cousins a lot. It was almost a given at any gathering that I'd find some reason to do it. - Had the usual crush on a babysitter. Blonde hair, surfer vibe. Constantly wearing flip flops. Was also weirdly fine with me being border line obsessed with her feet. - In kindergarten, the teacher, a very pretty woman in her 20s at the time who had a birthday ritual. She'd let the kid pick out a feather from a colorful assortment. And in front of the class on everyone's count she'd tickle to the students age. Never under the clothes. Mostly near the face or neck. But I'll never forget how disappointed I was that she didn't have me pop off a show in front of the class. - I grew up in the early 2000s, so whenever I was home during the day and not at school, I'd find myself on Cartoon Network. Early block was usually older cartoons. And that one infamous short came up. Ya know the one. Olive's dangling by a foot and laughing her head off while bluto uses one finger to drive her mad. I remember how entranced I was. I also remember how bad I wanted that shit to play again. - The moment I realized something was up was when I first got internet access as a young teen. I stumbled upon bigfootfantasies page on deviantart. All the excitement sorts built up and I realized "Oh I like this that way". - Bonus lore I guess: Middle school art teacher was this petite blonde woman. Christian and very bubbly. Also very handsy. She'd also walk around barefoot constantly and prop her bare feet up on the desk. I was at one point on the receiving end of a quick tickle. I was having a bad day and she thought "yeah that should help". Little did she know. I just wish I wasn't such an edgelord and let myself laugh. Probably would've lasted more than three second lol

>>94969 Can attest to this also being a "Hang on, there's something going on down there" moment

>>94971 Aw shucks :>

>>94974 I don't want to clog up this thread, but if you want to share some of your ticklee fantasies in the fantasy or male tickling thread, I'd love to hear them.

that scene from kiki’s delivery service. you know the one. had always been into feet like since age 4 or 5 and then that scene was just so exquisitely rendered, i feel like that was where the line blurred. i was ultra repressed/ignorant though so i never thought of it as a sexual thing and didn’t actively pursue it until years later. by this point i was probably like 13 or 14 and i was on youtube - back in the day, the top of the homepage would rotate through thumbnails of random videos people were watching at that moment, and one thumbnail caught my eye. the video was titled “thanksgiving feet” and was one woman worshipping another’s feet. didn’t have the words to articulate why this fascinated me, but i remember making a fake “biology report” word doc on the family computer and hiding a link to the video behind like a jpg of a cell, lol. i slowly expanded that “report” and eventually i found my way to tickle fic/rp forums (e.g. ticklingcity, rip - my first and only formal erotic writing as a 15 year old pervert lived and died there). around then i also really dove into videos - old school tickleabuse, that golden era. years of that passed, and at age 18 i started dating my first girlfriend, who turned out to be super masochistic/got turned on by the idea of getting tortured, and had a fucking hand fetish so literally me just touching her arm or whatever got her horny. (made for some funny moments in hindsight e.g. me putting my arm around her innocently while watching a movie and meanwhile she was getting soaked from my hand stroking her shoulder). anyway she was like a 6/10 in terms of ticklishness which was a drag but who was i to complain about getting to tie a girl up, blindfold her, and go to town while she moaned just from my fingers stroking her size 9.5s? went long distance and broke up, and while i don’t pine she pops up on socmed now and then. funnily enough she just got married this month - maybe that’s the source of this nostalgia trip. anyway, thank you kiki’s delivery service

Weirdly enough for me there was no scenes or events that triggered it one day I just looked at my cousin (by marriage not related ) and had the desire to hold her down and tickle her I've been hooked since

>>94975 Okie I posted in the fantasies thread but while I'm here there's another scene that I remember that gave me the 'god I wish that were me' feeling. https://youtu.be/8ouBcM7uq6A?t=388 While she doesn't do any tickling personally, she I love how she's really into it. Perfect tickle dom~

I was about eight when i first was exposed to tickling as a kink (i didn't know at the time) Ironically it was this fucker that started it, people joke now that this guy scared people and it was nightmare fuel, for me it lived rent free in my head and when I was old enough to actually develop a fetish (like 16?), I'd dream about myself being sent to the Island of Perpetual Tickling completely nude It's embarrassing, i know, but that's what started it.

When I was in elementary school, a girl in my older sister's class absolutely loved to tickle me because I'm incredibly ticklish. She'd chase me around the school until she caught me, pinned me to the ground, and tickled me into submission. I hated it at first, but I kinda started to develop a crush for her. Sometimes I'd let her catch me on purpose. Later in life (around 10 years old) curiosity got the best of me and I started looking up "tickling" on Google. Eventually I came across Laughing Gas Zone previews and the rest is history.

Man...in my case it was multiple behaviors and events combined with the classics most people here eventually go through: - I remember being 11-12 when making up games during family gatherings as an excuse/attempt to tickle my female cousins. One game we would play would be me chasing them and then tickling whoever I caught first. I must have had a latent armpit fetish back then, since I would always go for the same cousin, who had the most ticklish armpits and often caught wearing tank tops. After catching her, I would just wrestle her down, pin her arms and go to town on her armpits. Later I would learn she actually enjoyed this, but that's a story for another time. - At 13, I woke up covered in my own jizz after having had a dream about tying up and tickling my crush....I never stood a chance. - I always thought I only liked tickling others. But then one random afternoon I am chilling with my older sister and one of her friends. They are like 15-16 at this point, discussing what to do since they're bored out of their minds. We are all laying on my parents bed watching TV. Her friend out of the blue says...."We should....tickle your brother..." as she says this I feel a fingernail stroke the length of my sole, I clench my toes, hold the laugher in and let out a muffled giggle. My sister says "Ew...no...", she never really tickled me growing up, and found me annoying as fuck, she was my sister after all. Then my mom calls my sister and asks her to go help her carry the groceries so she jumps off the bed and leaves. The moment she leaves the room this girl I barely knew locks my ankles with one arm and proceeds to tickle the hell out of my soles. I'm laughing, screaming and contorting. She stops, I think it's done. Then she jumps on my back and jabs her fingers into my sides...I jump and squeal and cannot stop laughing like a maniac. Then we hear my sister and mom coming and she just leans in and says..."You're cute" and gets off me. It was intense and the whole thing probably lasted less than a minute, but I remember it vividly to this day. That's when I realized I also liked being on the receiving end. - Turning 14, I discovered internet tickling content and there's that. I was so turned on by that shit I could cum by just watching the video, didn't even have to move.
