Tickling isn’t something we think of as sexy. But with the right mood and partner, it can be a game changer in the bedroom.
Keep reading if you’ve ever wondered why tickling feels so good or whether your partner would let you tickle them after dark.
In this article, we’re looking at tickle fetishes and what they involve.
Let’s go!
Tickling is a strange sensation. It feels good to some and unpleasant to others, but either way, it produces a distinct reaction.
The act of tickling involves light or quick touches to sensitive areas of the body. For many, it produces a sensation that causes giggling or laughter, but for others, it may feel very uncomfortable.
The feeling caused by tickling often depends on the situation’s context. In a relaxed setting, you might find it more pleasant, whereas an accidental tickle in a serious meeting isn’t acceptable.
Researchers aren’t sure exactly why tickling causes laughter or feels good. But there are a few theories that are likely to be true:
While most people have positive experiences with tickling, it’s critical to remember that many also find it unpleasant. You may also grow more or less tickling with age or depending on your mood and the social context.
A tickle kink is when you experience sexual feelings when being tickled or tickling someone else. Knismophilia is the actual name for this fetish, but it can look different for everyone.
Some people find light touches and tickles to be a turn-on but don’t want to be tickled during intercourse. However, others prefer heavy or vigorous tickling as a part of humiliation.
Similarly, some experience pleasure from tickling others. This could be because they enjoy seeing their partner laugh or smile or because they’re dominant and want to take control of the situation.
So, if you find tickling sexy, you might have a tickle kink – and this is much more common than you’d expect.
As soon as something becomes a “kink”, many assume it’s part of the BDSM scene. If someone only enjoys light touches as a part of foreplay, it doesn’t sit under the BDSM umbrella. However, if you pair your tickling desires with power dynamics and other classic bondage techniques, it can become part of your BDSM practice.
Within the BDSM community, there is a type of play called “tickle torture”. This is where a submissive is tied down or constrained and tickled until they can’t take it anymore. Since tickling causes involuntary responses, the submissive loses control and can’t speak or focus. Hand signals usually replace safewords in this type of play.
Are you ready to try something new? Here are a few exciting ways to add laughter and fun to your bedroom:
If you’re new to tickling, starting slow and listening to your partner is critical. Remember that anyone can say no and stop the play at any time, and you should never get started without enthusiastic consent from your partner.
The most ticklish part of the body depends on who you’re asking. However, most consider the soles of their feet to be the most sensitive area.
Other highly ticklish areas you can experiment with include:
Note these down before you get started! Focusing on these body parts will bring out the best sensations and the most laughs.
As with any kinks and fetishes, telling your partner about your desires is the best way to level up your sex life and enjoy a more intimate bond. However, talking about kinks is very vulnerable, and you might feel too nervous to open up.
Here are some suggestions for talking to your partner about adding tickling to the bedroom:
If your partner isn’t sure whether tickling is for them, don’t push them into it. They need to be 100% into it for them to consent. Give them time to consider the offer, as letting them think about it is always better than forcing them to give an answer on the spot.
Whether you’re the tickler or the ticklee, adding tickle play into your sex life can improve your sexual satisfaction, give you stronger orgasms, and mix up your routine. Hopefully, this blog has introduced you to something new. Save this page so you can come back to it later!
