The tickling fetish has been around for quite some time but judging from all the websites devoted to it and judging by the Tickle Media Forum, it seems to be a growing phenomena in the fetish community.

Tickling can be quite erotic. It can feel quite sexy to be lightly tickled with the tips of the fingers or from a feather. You know the feeling. The one where you get goosebumps everywhere. it can get quite nasty though when one is tied up and the tickler goes into a full blown tickle mode, showing no mercy. This is known as tickle torture and can be considered a facet of BDSM, with the Top mercilessly tickling the sub.

Some tickle fetishists are into tickle torture while some are into just plain old tickling fun, stopping when the ticking ceases to be sexy, perhaps with a safe word. Much of it is also tied in to foot fetishism as the foot is one of the most ticklish areas on the body, along with the armpits. Many foot fetishists I know are into tickling feet. Most of them are Doms as opposed to subs.

So whether you are a true sadist or masochist, or whether you merely enjoy light sensual erotic play, tickling can easily be incorporated into any type of sexual encounter. It's fun and best of all it doesn't require any special props, save your fingers. Well, maybe a feather would be nice.
