Are tender feet a sign of ticklish feet?

[ericr]

My feet are very ticklish as well as very tender. I am wondering if foot tenderness is a good indicator of foot ticklishness. I'll give some examples of my foot tenderness. If there is so much as a grain of sand in my shoe it feels like a sharp rock. I have trouble walking barefoot on any but the smoothest surfaces. I can't walk barefoot more than a few steps on a hot sandy beach. If there are pebbles or shells on the beach, I can't stand to walk a step. I could not even begin to walk across a gravel driveway barefoot. New terry cloth socks hurt my feet.

Is it the case that people who can walk barefoot across a gravel driveway or play volleyball barefoot at the beach do not have ticklish feet? Conversely, is it true that people who walk gingerly with careful short steps when barefoot do have ticklish feet?

If both tender and tough footed people can have ticklsh feet, is there a difference in the kind of touches that tickle? Are tougher feet only tickled by firm scrapes, scratches, brushes, etc. Are tender feet tickled by the pulps of the fingers, light feathery touches, light scratches, etc. and find firmer scratches, brushes, etc. painful?

this came up just the other day

i was talking wih a woman, and she mentioned her feet were incredibly sensitive, and that she never let's people touch them.
she went on to explaine that she was ticklish to the extreem! not just her feet, but esp. her feet. her sensitivity went beyond just being ticklish, to the point that the only thing she could stand was a deep, firm massage, over socks, lol.
yes i did tickle them, yes she was as ticklish/sensitive as she claimed! i didn't do it for long, and in fact only did it by accident.
this woman's feet would be a god send to us guys with tickling and foot fetishes, but she'd die first! what a waste.

Yeah, Steve, many people who are really ticklish don't like being tickled. 🙁

I would imagine ticklishness and sensitivity varies greatly regardless of the relationship between the two. My feet aren't that ticklish, and I can walk over rough surfaces (though I don't like to), but they respond more to firm strokes than light ones, so perhaps your theory is correct, ericr! Good post, thanks. 🙂

hmmm

I'm a modern dancer and someone who does long-distance endurance events so I have very strong, tough (albeit cute and high-arched) feet and my feet are ticklish. I think your theory is probably true though. I love it when someone uses something stronger like their nails etc. on the soles of my feet but for the sensitive area between my toes or the tops of my feet a feather makes me crazy (shiver).

I go barefoot as often as possible, and maybe it's the regular pedicures, but the response of a feather on my soles is, by now, well known. Pedicures tickle, too, as I'm sure many of us ladies will attest to, but my feet can be feather tickled one day, five days, ten days after a pedicure (I try to get one every ten days). I can, and do, walk over many surfaces barefoot, so while they may not be tender, my feet are still extremely ticklish!

I knew a girl in high school,(she was kind of a "hippie chick") who was always barefoot! I mean she could walk on sharp stones, or gravel on a hot day, and it didn't seem to bother her at all. But if you touched the bottoms of her feet, she would go nuts. This girl had some real tough, but also real ticklish feet! Another woman I worked with used to be in the army, and one(I forgot how we got on this subject) she told me how tough the army was on her feet because of all the marching, and constantly wearing boots, but her feet were also hyper-ticklish. I guess ticklish feet will overcome any torture. A testament to the true power of tickling!😀

 

[magic fingers]

I forgot another example. This girl, who lived on our block, when I was growing up, used to JOG barefoot, but again same thing. Her feet were off the charts ticklish. Tough, but ticklish tootsies. Cool

 

[ForgottenTcklr]

I have really sensitive skin, and am really ticklish.

So I would have to say yes. It has a lot to do with it.

I am no scientist, but I have to say, experiences with myself and others prove this theory to be true!!!

 

[gridsmasher2000]

Well, I have been in the army for 6 years now and lots of road marches and constant running has definately taken its toll on my body. But I always try to keep my feet in good condition, you cant let calloses (sp?) build up because it hurts really bad and stuff. My wife always tells me my feet are really really soft. They are very tender-I cant walk on gravel barefoot or sharp rough surfaces. They are sensitive, but not ticklish. Not even a little bit. I think it may be from a frostbite incident when i was younger on a ski trip, but they are not ticklish. More of a 'pain sensitivity' than anything else. Anyone else have this issue?

 

[dodger]

Yes, tender usually corrolates with ticklish. Usually.

Really ticklish

I am quite sure that a person who usually walks barefoot, or dances too much or wear high heels for many hours will have harder soles, usually with callused spots in heels, etc. These feet will probably be less ticklish than those who receive a proper and frequent pedicure but maybe the most important is when they use comfortable footwear.
One of the most ticklish ticklees I ever met is a sexy rhythmic –Gymnastics instructor. She is 25 years and has beautiful feet, very strong with extremely high arches, her soles are hard, in special the balls of her feet and heels, even the tips of her toes are quite hard. Anyway her arches and sides of the feet are unbearably ticklish….and those harder spots are fantastic for nibbling (she loves that) So I agree with ticklegrrrl that you may have hard soles and yet be very ticklish.

My own soles are very very soft and when my wife lightly touch them is pure torture.

I think that probably most women will have harder soles than men because of the footwear they use

Hmmm
As someone who works part-time in the auto industry and spends sometimes 20-40 hrs a week wearing steel- toed boots(gotta make the bucks to fork over to the University to pay for school!LOL) , I would say my feet are not exactly baby soft, but as at least one TMF member can attest to( though he dosen't post much at all! ) they are excruciatingly ticklish. Because of the wear and tear on the tootsies I do try to get pedicures as frequently as I can, and even when I can't, I make god use of the pumice stone and foot lotion to keep them soft and supple. I think it's kind of a YMMV thing, but in general soft tender feet would be more ticklish and as a rule, someone who works in an office say, might possibly have more sensitive feet then someone who's on their feet all day. Then again.. when you've been on your feet all day, and those feet are fresh out of the bath or shower.. YIKES 😱 the tickling can be pretty intense.

Just my opinion anyway.
Happpy Turkey Day to all!

Does anyone know of very tender feet which are just not ticklish? Replies to this thread so far seem to indicate that tender soles are quite ticklish and that tough or hard soles can be ticklish, perhaps mostly to firmer tickles. Also, the point has been made that generally hard soles may have tender and especially ticklish areas such as high arches and beneath the toes.

 

[robmic]

tender feet....

I have pretty tender feet for a guy, but they don't seem to be ticklish at all.🙁 When I was a kid I was really ticklish, but I was always the tickler, and avoided getting tickled with a passion, mainly because I feared I couldn't take it. Looking back, I wish that someone had gotten me good. It might've made a difference now. Now I would gladly let a woman have her way with me, but, unfortunatly, I'm afraid that they'd be dissappointed. But then again,I've never been at the mercy(or lack of) an experenced tickler!!! 😱 Maybe someday I'll get to attend one of the gatherings and put myself at the mercy of a few fiendish tickling women!😉

i have known many women that had soft feet, that were not ticklish.
i have found that having tickling feet is more the exception than the rule.

Throwing my 2 cents in, I would think that if your feet of toughened up let's say by going barefoot and being on your feet all the time because they toughen your feet. They wouldn't be so sensative and you would have to use something other than light touches, spider walks up the soles of the foot or even a feather. Soft sensative feet would be the ones that would be that are sensative and very ticklish. Alex brought up a good point, not everyone that is ticklish likes to be tickled 🙁 sad but true. I myself have soft feet and they are very sensative, but I love them being tickled....writing things like "Tracy, I am going to tickle you senseless" now that is what I'm talking about!

 

[primetime]

okay Tracy!! i am going to tickle your soft, tender barefeet senseless!!!! six or seven hours of tickling your feet okay???

 

[ShiningIce]

Heeeeeeeeeeeey I wanna tickle Tracy too. 🙁

 

[primetime]

well then we both tickle her!!!!!! after all, she has TWO feet!!!😀

The tale of ticklish female fee

--My ex-wife. Always barefoot, small very cute feet, high arches, highly calloused heels and balls of the feet. Not ticklish in the calloused areas. Deathly ticklish on her arches. Wiggling her toes (as in a game of this little piggy) would tickle her to death! Between the toes even worse. A tongue between the toes (my personal favorite way to tickle cute tootsies) was devestating. Just touching her arhces put her through the ceiling!

--Former girlfriend that had soles as if made of 3 inches of silk. My fingers could sink into her soles for what felt like an inch. Very ticklish, but no problem with massages.

--A (female) friend with soft lovely soles and beautiful feet. Can't be tocuhed even slightly or she's through the ceiling. No massages either

--A former girlfriend with soft soles, beautiful feet. Not ticklish in the least. She even loved to have her dog lick her feet.

It just goes to show how wonderful and full of variety each individual is!

Cheers!

I would be interested in knowing whether people with ticklish and tender feet generally have soft feet. My feet are very tender and very ticklish but are not really that soft.

Vicky Pratt hard soles ,,,,very ticklish

I read that Vicky Pratt admited to have very ticklish feet. I have seen a picture of her soles and they are strong with hard spots in the balls of the feet and heels (wow)

Yes, there are women with hard soles who are quite ticklish but I asume their ticklishness must be greater in the arches or between the toes
