There’s a certain thrill that comes with Tickle Fights. I think it’s the uncertainty of it all, the knowledge that you have no real idea what’s about to happen. Will you be pinned beneath your partner, made to thrash and squeal as they torment your body even as the heat from their flesh pulses against you. Or will you trap them in your grip, fingers finding new and interesting tickle spots as they writhe this way and that seeking their freedom. Of course it could just be a free-for-all, neither of you having the upper hand and it ending up as a delightful rolling battle as you simply enjoy each other and laugh together.

Tickle fights can be one of the most erotic experiences imaginable, mainly because the uncertainty about the outcome is present in every single second and move. It’s more or less accepted that there’s nowhere really off limits, who knows where a hand or leg may end up in the tussle after all and saying ‘sorry’ would get boring after the hundredth time. One moment you’re on top, sitting on their hips as they try and buck you off, enjoying the look of delight and annoyance on their face. The next you’re on the ground, struggling for breath as their legs lock around your ribs and their fingers fly at your feet. It’s a lottery and yet you know that, win or lose, it’s still going to be one hell of an experience.

The way a tickle fight can start virtually anywhere, limited only really by the imagination, is another plus. Obviously it’s great if there’s room to really let go and move around but I’ve been in tickle fights on public transport where I’ve been sitting next to my partner and we’re both trying our damnedest to not only win but not move an inch out of the seat. Beaches, living rooms, bouncy castles, parks, damn near anywhere you care to think of can be the scene of a truly great tickle fight. And the best part is that, unlike the more bondage-orientated parts of our fetish, you can have a tickle fight in plain view and the rest of the world think its just high spirits. We know better of course and the small, sly digs, the little twist of the hips just so, a hand trailing in just the right place at the right time, can add an extra layer of humiliation and delight for all concerned.

And then there’s the wonderful chaos that are tickle fights with more than two contenders. There’s nothing, NOTHING, quite like the giddy, heady joy and terror that comes from having a group of tickle fans in close proximity, each diving and rolling and laughing over the floor, tickling anything that comes close, latching on to a new target in the small, useless hope that inflicting ticklish torment upon another would ease their own suffering or, by some miracle, distract whoever was tickling them long enough to get their own back or at least catch their breath. It’s not so much a fight more a desperate struggle to survive while trying to resist the temptation to drool as you realise what’s going on around you.

In short, tickle fights are fun, exhilarating, exhausting, wonderful and often very sensuous things that make the world a better place and we should all be lucky enough to get to partake in them on a regular basis!
