Knismolagnia, Erotic tickling

Knismolagnia is the arousal a person will experience from being tickled or being the tickler, even from watching someone being tickled. Now tickling is not for everyone and could often be considered a hard limit for some.

Tickling fetishes are real, and many people enjoy them; there are even ticking games and contests worldwide. Tickling is considered to be part of sensation play, and depending on your dynamic or whether you are a Dom/me or sub, you could easily include tickling in your scenes.

Now you might wonder why this is considered a fetish or called tickle torture sometimes. It could be just the sensation involved from having all your nerve endings firing up all at once from the sensational touch of your partner, but more often than not, it is associated with the laughter. Laughing releases feel-good endorphins and hormones, which will intensify the sex you have with your partner after your tickle session.

Tickling can also be considered a power play where you have a tickler and a ticklee; obviously, the tickler will be the dominant partner in this type of play. Tickle torture can also form part of piss play; your partner could tickle you until you lose control and start to pee. Often people who have a tickle fetish will include it in a bondage scene, where the ticklee is unable to get away from being tickled from the tickler while being restained. Tickling can even form part of foot fetishes and body worship, depending on their ticklish areas. It is all up to you how you want to include it in your dynamic.

Tickling can be fun, but it is always best to be careful in the beginning. Tickling can cause a fight or flight reaction from your partner, so while they might enjoy being tickled, they will squirm around with their arms and legs, so an elbow to the head or a knee to the groin might be an unintended consequence of tickling.

I love being tickled; it’s something I have enjoyed for years before realizing it could lead to some seriously hot sex afterward. I laugh so much when being tickled. I can’t breathe and have passed out once before from laughing too much. So always make sure to check in on your partner during the tickling session and try to avoid them turning onto their stomach as they might not be able to breathe correctly into the couch, pillow, or bedding.

Even though tickle torture is fun for some, always make sure it is consensual and that you have negotiated limits and safewords.
