>>37427 I personally prefer kink-centric tickling because the idea of the victim in theory being able to tap out of it, but for whatever reason choosing to power through it, is insanely hot for me. That said, I also like humiliation based tickling, and feel like that often goes underutilized.

I definitely prefer torture. Whether it's heavy bondage in a lab or the classic "tied to a chair in a dark room", I like to see a victim truly going into a panic, whether it be because they're losing their grip on reality or they're realizing they might never get to go home. I love a good interrogation, and I like it when it's taken seriously despite it being tickling. I really hate when the victim is like "heh, tickling? how pathetic" and the captor has to sit there and monologue about how cool and scary it is. Nah man just whip out a feather and have the victim start pleading for mercy, just treat it as a threat from the start. On average my fantasies lean harder and harder on the harsh torture end than not, even when I'm fantasizing about a woman showing off her feet in my mind she's usually doing it to torture me because she knows my fetishes and can manipulate me with them. I have to be in a real mood to be into the more light, kinky, loving side of things. I don't know what it is but when it's really light and emphatically consensual I feel like I just tend to get bored. I want my porn to be really intense and loud.

I'm more into torture. At least fictional, of course. I prefer reading doujins and seeing images because they can represent noncon scenarios. With real people in videos at most you can get some sadistic content but always withing consent, but I find myself enjoying those videos more than the ones with light tickling.

Really depends on the mood, and or character.

Torture.

I like both, but i prefer... like, soft torture? When the tickler isn't holding back and the victim isn't really consenting, but the tickler still cares about the ticklee's wellbeing to some extent and is more teasing rather than malicious.

OP here. When I started out exploring this fetish on my late teens, I used to be more on the torture side of things and liked the more fantastical "tickle hell" esque forever torment scenarios. Like the stuff thats only possible in art. But now that Im older and have had a couple of sessions under my belt (tickled a couple of girls, tickled by a couple of guys) Ive grown to enjoy the more romantic, lovey dovey kink variations. Not necessarily soft or gentle tickling mind you, but more consentual and kinky. You can still go rough on your lee and drive them insane, but they got a safeword for when things go too far of course. Call me soft or vanilla, but kinky tickleporn feels more...relatable? Dunno if thats the word, but it makes me feel like I can connect more with the lee and the ler in those situations since I share similar experiences and can place myself in either side of the scenario, even if it involves fictional characters. Interrogation tickling, tickling machines, tickle hell, etc this is all hot of course dont get me wrong, but kinky tickleporn is hotter to me because I can feasibly see myself acting it out with a play partner.

I like non-con kinky

>>37427 For me personally, i like the torture aspect of tickling, tickling to me is Just flavoring to a bdsm picture, tickling itself to me isnt that erotic

I enjoy both, but definitely a lean towards consensual (especially seeing what shows up in my chat history with countless character.ai chatbots). Turns out I just really like tickling girls who like being tickled. The soft torture that >>37442 mentions also sounds really good, ngl. I do generally prefer videos/photos/art where the ticklee is depicted as laughing as opposed to suffering or in despair.
