Helena said:I used to think that I could only enjoy tickling if I was fully restrained tightly.
However, I was tickled on my back and sides pretty intensely once, and I was so glad I was able to pull my arms into my body to protect myself. I wound up lying on my belly with my arms tucked into me, and he was very effective in torturing me without restraints.
I have decided that I can enjoy both now. Of course, for safety sake, and because I love bondage...my favorite way to be harshly tickled is with restraints.
