text: has anyone heard of a tickle fetish? do you know why someone would only give affection to their kid by tickling them? even if the kid no longer liked to be tickled because this person use to hold them and tickle them until they peed their pants. what satisfaction do they get?  can you control something that is a fetish? i don't know what to say on this one. i think it's a little weird. a friend of my parents did that despite the fact that my brothers and i hated it and he really gave me the willies. i mean something strong and my parents could not figure out what my problem was.   i don't know what kind of satisfaction they get. i might tickle my nephews or neices just to get them to laugh, but i don't get out of hand with it and it gives me a good laugh. they encourage me to do it all the more and chase them around lol! that's different. it's not like someone who does it despite the fact that the child hates it  people that have fetishes need to learn to seek counseling i am serious. that's just too creepy
