Why do guys like tickling their girlfriends so much?

Question

I'm asking this because my boyfriend takes every chance he can to tickle me. I don't know why he does (possibly because I scream/squeak and squirm?) but he won't tell me why! Some examples of the way he tickles me is by sneaking up from behind and tasering me in the side, tickling my sides when we hug/cuddle, poking me at random in the side, tickling my knees when we are sitting together, and tickling the bottoms of my feet when not wearing shoes. Why does he do it? Why do guys do it? I would like to know so I understand how he's feeling about our relationship an' all that.

oh yeah, I've seen guys do this. Its some sort of insecurity thing manifested in touchy touchy. Most guys dont like to touchy or hold hands in public. When they do its usually an insecurity issue, such as when you see grown men holding hands with prostitues walkig around on a "date". this is some sort of insecurity issue. when done in private it sounds creepy to me. most men, once the honey moon wears off, tend to only be interested in touchy feely as foreplay to sex. they dont like to just sit around and watch movies and giigle and tickle and eat popcorn. Mommy issue? ask him about his mother. read a book about men with mommy issues maybe.

Well, I mainly do it when I'm wanting to touch her and make her laugh and be all squirmy at the same time. I enjoy that it's something that is intimate...it's something that only I get to do to her.

Also, there's something really fun about tickling her to the point where she's laughing uncontrollably and wants me to stop (like in a playful manner...not to the point where she's GENUINELY angry about being tickled). I love it!

My ex did this. Between laughs (that I really tried to hold in because I hate being tickled) I was all, “staaaaahhhhpppp!!!”
I really hope most guys don’t do this... so that in the future I’ll date someone who’s not a tickler

1. He likes it maybe? Maybe he just finds that arousing. 2. He thinks its cute maybe. Maybe its just a cute thing he does. or 3. he's flirting.

Because it is cute and fun and he just likes touching you.

Somehow, to me, there's just something sweet about tying a female down and tickling her just enough to make her squirm and giggle. AND, knowing that she knows that even though she's restrained, she's absolutely safe and can just lay there and enjoy it.

We like touching our girlfriend. We like to hear them laugh. We like to frustrate the crap out of them. We like to hear them beg. We can get all that out of tickling her. What isn't to like about tickling our girlfriends. lol

I think he wants a better relationship with you by tickling you. It is proven that tickling can create a better band by the person you are doing it. And Probably he loves the way you react when he is tickling you so its a good thing in my opinion.

Maybe it's because the way you laugh really turns him on!
