Is it normal to want to be tickled instead of have sex?
Basically, being tickled for me is like having sex for other people. I do not have a sex drive, only a tickle drive. I have also never been tickled. I mean, I have when I was really young, but it wasn't by anyone I was "attracted" to. It's sort of like a normal person who has never had sex before wanting to have sex, even if they've never experienced it before. It's not a fetish because there's nothing sexual about it, except that it is just like sex for other people.
Also, hugging, cuddling, and holding hands for me is like kissing and making out for other people. I have never thought about kissing or making out with anyone before.
Another weird thing is the people I'm "attracted" to only people of the same sex, and this covers a wide age range. They could be my age or 30 years older than me, but I've never been attracted to anyone younger than me.
