Yes, you might not know this - but tickling can be a very erotic experience. You’ll see how it relates to BDSM by the time I get done explaining everything to you. It’s quite a fascinating subject, to be sure. Playful and non threatening, erotic tickling is a great way to introduce BDSM elements into your relationship.

The loss of control of the way your body reacts to the tickling is a type of power transfer. Power goes from you to your tickling partner - and that’s the basis of BDSM. However, it’s power play that you’re laughing through, so it’s not scary at all, even if the phrase sounds a bit overwhelming.

Everyone is a little bit different in their ticklish spots, and you should also be prepared if you or your partner have no ticklish spots at all. There’s not much you can do in the latter situation, but it doesn’t happen too often. You might just need to relax and explore their body to find secret ticklish spots.

You can tickle with fingers or props - feathers work wonders for erotic tickling, plus they look beautiful. If you’re feeling particularly naughty, you can brush your feathers or fingers against some very sensitive spots so the pleasure builds with the tickling tease.

You can spice it up a bit by adding in bondage or blindfolds. Tying down your partner will make them unable to struggle away from your tickling torture. And that’s a major turn on for many people, even if they have never considered BDSM before.

Blindfolds make it easier to work with a tickling resistant partner. They could just be tense about the whole situation, so they don’t allow the sensation to affect them at all. By blindfolding them, they won’t know when the tickling is coming, so they won’t tense against it.

So give tickling a try, either as a gateway into more intense and explicit BDSM activity, or as a fun way to spend some time during foreplay. I think you’ll be very happy with the results that it brings - plus you can bust out the feather duster.
