Tickling fetishism
Tickling fetishism is a sexual fetish related to gaining a specific sexual thrill from either tickling a sex partner or being subjected to tickling themselves, usually to the point of helpless laughter. Also, usually there is some form of restraint to prevent escape. Thus this fetish may coincide with various BDSM fetishes.
The feet, underarms and torso (particularly the navel) are the most usual tickling spots, although less frequent ones like the neck, legs or knees are also observable. A person's favourite place for tickling sometimes arises from a fetish connected with that body part. For example someone who loves tickling feet is often a foot fetishist.
Besides active tickling, this fetish can also involve excitement from watching others being tickled. This can also be expanded into the realm of child tickling which, in some cases, can be considered molestation.
