Telling my long term boyfriend I like being tickled
I 24F have been with my boyfriend 29M for about 4 years now. He knows I don’t hate being tickled, I lean into whenever he does it and I never shove him away, and he’s made jokes about that that I’m secretly in love with it. Which is so true lol
Thing is he doesn’t do it often so he definitely doesn’t realize I love it, which why would he if I haven’t said anything? My fear is that it’s been so long into the relationship that I’m afraid of bringing it up and him being shocked or confused why I never said anything previously. I don’t think he’d be weirded out, but idk I’m still so nervous. My previous partner was disgusted by it.
My boyfriend also is extremely ticklish, way more so than me, and hates being tickled. So tickling him to initiate anything is not something I’m ever willing to do because he genuinely hates it despite the fact that he’s giggling. Which sucks because I love his giggle lol but I respect his wishes ofc
I guess just does anyone have any advice on casually bringing this up to him? I have a hard time communicating my sexual needs, it’s something I’m working on in therapy and I’ve done a lot better, I think my past experiences have made this one a lot harder. Any advice would be helpful genuinely
