Open Question: pteronophilia, or love of tickling?
 

I just love tickling, and I ran into the term pteronophobia. Since I'm definitely not afraid of tickling, I decided to look up the opposite, pteronophilia, meaning 'sexual gratificaton by being tickled with feathers'. I'm not sure whether to call it a fetish or not, but I just feel... well, funny. For one thing, I can't even look at the phrase "tickled with feathers" without smiling or feeling butterflies in my chest, but I find them quite soothing when used on my stomach, arms, legs & feet. I get chills if they're used in the right place (back of the head/neck/shoulders, mainly), and it feels kind of exciting. DO I actually have pteronophilia, or is it the fact that I love tickling so much that I'm kinda self-proclaimed about it? xD
