Who is your ideal kind of tickle torturer? Not that you get to pick lol
It varies by how I feel on a given day and what the fantasy is and what dynamic they have to say nothing of their gender. There are some general traits though:
Overwhelmingly dominant, especially physically
Status differential. I.e., I don't want to be "brought low," I want to already be low. Think bullies, judges, wardens, a bullet, etc... Although I also sometimes flirt with the idea of younger guys taking me captive.
Overtly aroused by my torture. Willing to tickle torture me into sexual exploitation.
Verbally degrading to the point of being animalistic or incoherent
Shows me off as a kind of trophy. Controls things like clothes, body positions, etc...
Forces me to be intimate emotionally by telling him secrets I wouldn't even tell my close friends. Manipulates me into codependency.
For female tickers it's a mix of some of the things above with some of their opposites:
Doesn't need to be physically dominant but should have some kind of either social leverage or the ability to order others to dominate me. For instance a queen that can throw me in the dungeon.
A mix of lower or higher status. With women I do kind of like being brought low.
I tend to like clinical, disinterested female torturers. But on the other hand, I do find women getting aroused from my torture hot but not in the same like animalistic way. More like my wife rubbing herself off upstairs while she listens to her boyfriend tickle torturing me down in the basement.
Usually like them cold and distant. So rather than a male torturer forcing me to be intimate, I like when a female torturer is like, "Okay, I'm done playing with you now. Let's put you back in your cage."
Like I said though, there are scenarios that call for different things, so when it comes to fantasizing or writing erotica, the best ler for it can vary.
