I was always curious on the consensus opinion on this by people more experienced than I am. When tied up, does the angle the arms are tied in matter to a degree? And if so, which angle? The two main angles I'm talking about are over the head (Tickleabuse rack), and to the side, perpendicular to the body (Bleufetish straps, realtickling cross).
I didn't really pay attention to this until I started doing my own tickling sessions (New Yorkers feel free to dm me), but I noticed very key differences in both positions. When the arms are tied over the head lying down, the skin is usually pulled tighter. Especially when the stretched. This allows for less friction when tickling areas like the ribs and seems to get better reactions to fingernails.
When tied perpendicular to the body however, the reactions are also great. Especially for the pits. When the arms are tied like that, it creates a hallow in the underarm that allows the tickler to get deeper than usual. Perfect spider prey. There's also the psychological advantage of the arms being so close to the body yet not close enough to protect anything.
This applies when both lying down and standing up, but I was thinking more of the former.
What are your guys thoughts?
