Tickle Torture – Reading time approx: 10 mins
Tickle torture is a BDSM practice, a rather typical one. Instead of pain and suffering, it is about trying to create an involuntary reflex by stroking and touching. The receiving partner often reacts with laughter, twitching or screaming. There is always at least one dominant and one submissive participant.
Imagine the following scenario:
You are tied to the bed. Your partner is giving you a little break, and you are gasping for air with laughter.
He tenderly kisses you where your body needs it most. But even before the redemptive orgasm is finally allowed to come, he reaches for the pen again and the torture continues – the tickling.
This very special practice is a wonderfully refreshing mixture of power play, and a special kind of eroticism.
It is particularly suitable for beginners in the BDSM area, or couples who just want to try something new in bed! So venture out of your daily sex life and get close to the lustful torture!
What is so erotic about tickling?
Just when you look at the image of the “tortured”, it should be clear as to what we find so stimulating about it. We instinctively resist tickling, shrugging it off whilst writhing. We then finally start to laugh helplessly, until we can stand it no longer.
Especially when the victim is deprived of any opportunity to defend themself, the power play becomes perfect! You can also heat up the mood with Dirty Talk. (By the way, this works wonderfully with a bondage set that can be used to bind hands and feet.)
It is no coincidence that we are tickling in areas where our erogenous zones are located.
For example, we are particularly susceptible on the neck, arms or soles of our feet. The inside of our thighs or knees are also good for tickling. All of these create a sense of erotic touching.
The skin is sensitive and reacts strongly to the smallest stimulation. That’s why we can enjoy gentle tickling, for example with a feather or with our fingertips.
Laughter also releases happiness hormones and the constant change between laughter and moaning guarantees us a ‘super orgasm’!
But beware
As mentioned above, your victim will most likely want to thrash wildly. Wriggling and trying to escape your torture up to a certain point of excitement.
If you don’t want to end the evening with a black eye or a chin hook, you’d better get out of reach. Alternatively, you can always use shackles.
Since this feeling of pure delivery is not for everyone, a tickle torture without shackles could be a bit exhausting. Better you sit/stand over your partner, or get used to an object without exposing yourself to the danger of their uncontrolled movements.
Different types of tickle torture
Tickle torture is not the same as plain tickling. Of course you can create your very own rules, taking into account the preferences for both of you.
But first and foremost: this sex game must be what you both want!
If your victim can barely breathe after 30 minutes of continuous tickle torture, and collapse with exhaustion, then you have done something wrong.
A session of merciless tickling, for example, can be followed by sensual touches for a while. The sore spots can relax through sudden gentle touches, and your victim can regain their breath. If you feel like you’ve had enough of a break, you can start again and the game will be refreshed.
This path is also great to delay the climax until later! If you notice that your partner is about to orgasm, then you just start tickling again and they will quickly have completely different worries 😉
Tickling with shackles
Since tickling torture is increasingly used in the BDSM scene, the shackles must not be missed out here.
But even if you don’t usually go for the whole bondage thing that much, it makes perfect sense to give it a try with this sex technique.
Depending on how much trouble you put yourself in. The victim can also beat and kick wildly, regardless of losses.
In addition, the desire is increased at the same time when your partner is completely at your mercy. That way, they have to rely solely on your grace.
In doing so, either only the feet can be tied, or all 4 limbs – just like the starfish position.
Tickling with aids
Of course, not only the fingertips can be used for tickling!
Especially at the outset, you can use your lips or your own breath to irritate the sensitive places. This will drive your victim wild!
In addition to a pen – brushes, pencil tips or electric toothbrushes are also suitable aids.
Of course, there are also professionally manufactured toys, which provide a particularly erotic sensation on the skin. As soon as you have come to find what works best for you, you will probably be able to find something in your own household!
Tickle torture inspirations
Of course, you can approach tickle torture slowly, and without any form of special role-playing game. But if the whole thing gets boring quickly, you can also come up with the most colorful ideas, depending on your preference.
You will find some great inspiration here. But of course (as with any sex practice) you can apply your own touches of inspiration 😉
Tickle as punishment
One of the most popular methods of tickle torture, is to use the torture as “punishment”. You can either move the whole thing to your everyday life, or just leave it for the bedroom.
If you put it in your everyday life, then try to find small mistakes that your partner makes throughout the day.
For example, did they not rinse the dishes or leave their socks on the sofa again? Then they are threatened with punishment in bed that night! They will then be thinking (for the rest of the evening) about what you are going to do to them afterwards!
Or you leave it in bed for small tasks. If your partner is already tied up, you can ask them (for example) some arithmetic tests. Or use some questions from a quiz about general knowledge.
If they are right, they get fondled, but if they are wrong then the tickle torture is on! A good alternative for you is anal sex without much pain. The fear of a wrong answer will soon drive them mad and they will yearn for your reward!
Tickling as a challenge
It does not always have to be just a partner who can enjoy torture! You could take turns and turn it into a hot challenge.
For example: Who thinks they can go the longest whilst being tickled, without saying a code word? The winner may wish for something…
Tickling in role-playing
The tickle torture becomes particularly sparkling, if you are allowed to slip into other roles!
For example, does she have important information for you, but refuses to release it?
Then it will probably be time to resort to special measures. Maybe she will get on with it when she breathlessly begs you for mercy!
Or you urgently need to be tested for reflexes by your hot family doctor. Long and extensively!
There are no limits to the sex fantasy here. Also you should talk beforehand about what should work best in bed.
The right code word
Since BDSM can often (not always, but often) also have to do with pain and breathlessness, it is important to discuss a suitable code word with each other beforehand.
This is used to give yourself the security to stop in time. By the way, this should also be agreed with other hardcore things too.
In BDSM it is also about pushing the limits, and taking them beyond. But if it is no longer possible, then you need a way to communicate in an emergency.
A good way to do this is to be able to say either green, orange or red when asked. Red means in the event that it is no longer possible and you urgently need a break. At Orange, your partner knows that he might want to slow it down a bit.
Since with tickling torture, one can very quickly lose breath and start wheezing, sometimes individual words are not necessarily the safest way!
Depending on how hard you want to do it, your partner may not even have the chance to tell you if they need a break.
Here, either a certain hand sign, or simply some consideration from the partner helps.
It is recommended to inquire again and again about the condition of the victim and, of course, to make sure that the victim is able to answer.
Our conclusion:
Tickle torture is not only suitable as a gentle introduction to the BDSM area. It is also a wonderful possibility for couples who like it a little sporty in bed! With a little respect for his sacrifice and a good mix, nothing stands in the way of your exciting adventure!
So,are you ready to tickle your partner?
