Surely intensive tickling must have been used in the past in public or private life to elicit information or simply punish wrongdoers/prisoners

It can be tortuous, humiliating, maddening, go on indefinitely and has a victim begging and screaming even when they are exhausted

Anyone know of any examples or tales worth telling...
 
I think if you search the forums you might come across some old posts on the subject

Why bother if you could just rip out fingernails or use hot irons? Tickling was never truly used as punishment.

But has been - and is - used for coercion, both in private family settings and in more repressive, penal-type situations. Even sadists in a position of power come in varying degrees, and find various things both amusing and effective.

Actually from what I heard it was used in China for punishing nobility as it did not leave any physical scars.
 
I don't think tickling would be a very effective torture method in the sense of actual punishment or information gathering. Torturers want results, and people tend to give into pain a lot easier than anything else.

Maybe, but then waterboarding doesn't look like it hurts, just looks hella terrifying.

Fair enough. I've seen a documentary on waterboarding not too long ago. Though it doesn't seem to technically hurt, it does give the sensation of drowning. One of the people on there whom was waterboarded said it was akin to feeling like you're dying and it was the worst feeling he ever felt.
 
I didn't know you were omniscient.

There are no historical sources about it although we know about the methods of punishment throughout history very thoroughly as it is all written down.

So if it was regularly used, we'd have knowledge about it. Don't need to be omniscient to know that.

Not being able to breathe and feel like drowning will work on everybody. Tickling won't. Not everybody is ticklish, not everybody reacts to the same thing. Why would a torturer waste time on finding someone's ticklish spots and the right techniques to get enough reaction to actually make them talk?

In addition, the body gets used to tickling rather quickly. This is not the case with pain.
 
I dunno. I never claimed to be a historian but there's clearly other forms of torture besides ones that cause pain.

Bingo.

Not to mention, whatever might personally get the torturer off. Let's all be honest here, people who have been/are responsible for the torture of others aren't in it for the pay check.

Pretty much this!!!

Torture is designed to be absolutely unbereable. Tickling is not even sure to be with all people....therefore, would never get high on some professional torturer master scheme.
Also, you people have to realize that those who work with torture are really on it for results. They may be sadists themselves but if they dont show results they will be out of their jobs. So....you just dont want to come to your supervisor and try this wicked new torture method that doesnt work with a given subject because he/she is not ticklish......remember.....if you are torturing someone, the whole hierarchy you work for is quite brutal. So you just dont want to play with it either it can be you next time on the torture table.

So, nop!!! There are no historical records because its not the best way around to make everyone say whatever you wish them to.
I would go as far as saying that close to 50% humans can take tickling in a torturous way. Factor those who are not ticklish and factor those who are ticklish but can actually take it without their mind going to pieces (which I know we all have fantasies about but seriously very very few people are being challenged when we play)
 
There's no solid historical evidence. The ancient Chinese might have done it to noble prisoners to avoid harming them for honorific purposes, as well as so they weren't harmed and could fetch higher ransom, but that's mostly just rumors. I'm not an expert on the subject though, hell, I just Googled it to make this response. I think what was mentioned earlier is probably the biggest nail in this one's coffin, though, not everyone is ticklish, and there are way easier ways to torture people without leaving marks. That sounded creepy as hell, sorry.
 
My ex-wife would choose pain torture over tickle torture any day of the week and twice on Sundays. She's the type who would hold out far longer from pain then she would against tickling. My point being that tickling can be used effectively against some people; like most things in life, it just depends on the person involved.

Ditto with my wife – though she doesn’t get a choice.

But I think the proof is the porn industry in general; look how many porn stars are willing to participate in brutal S&M with oversized objects stuffed into every orifice. But five minutes of intense tickling? Not a chance.
 
I am certain that tickling for torture has been used in isolated ways throughout history, even if it wasn't an institutionalized method of torture.

Think of yourselves for a moment. What if, at some point in history, you were a king or queen or a dictator or someone who held power. You could imprison people at a whim, and you could dictate what their interrogation or punishment would be. What would you choose???

I gotta believe that throughout history, there have been people who have held power that have shared our fetish...

I believe it depends. I requires at least some knowledge to break a victim without killing it, so in some way it is a qualified job to be a torturer and as as with other jobs, you don't exactly have to like it, to do it.
You have to be a terrible human being to torture others, but I don't think you need to be a sadist.

I however don't think your ex experienced any real torture, otherwise I am quite positive, she would quickly change her mind.

I would somewhat believe that story about Chinese using tickling as a punishment, but as a method of extracting information, I think tickling is highly impractical and if it was used, I suppose it was in isolated cases where it was the torturer's personal kink.

Her words in choosing pain torture over tickling, not mine.

You know, I wonder how a professional torturer puts that on a resume? When looking for a new job, how do you label that on a job application? Makes one wonder....
 
I feel tickling probably most definitely happened at the public stockades. The stocks though were used to punish people who did minor crimes. Their feet were left bare because it was considered embarrassing to have your feet be shown off in public. Too be honest if you were sentenced to the stocks and tickling was all you received you got lucky. People also stayed in the stocks over a week or more. Renaissance fairs make the stocks look mostly cute and innocence, but they were far from it. The pillories were even worse.
