Does age make you more less ticklish

[stdave1]

Question for everyone here. Does getting older make you more or less ticklish. Speaking for myself, its made less ticklish. For example, my feet were really ticklish when I young but now they seem to less ticklish. My upperbody has remained about the same though. Anyway, just my thoughts on this I was curious whether anybody else has the same thing happened or maybe the opposite. Thanks in advance for any replys.

Well, I'm less ticklish than I was when I was a lad. (Damn-it!)
But my wife's feet are so ticklish I can't believe she used to be any more sensitive than she is now. Unfortunately, she doesn't like to be tickled. (Double damn-it!!)

Tickle them anyway. 😉

In my own case, it could be a combination of a couple of things.

After 30+ years of wearing steel toed boots and walking on concrete floors, I feel that my feet are a bit less sensitive, but still very ticklish nonetheless.

At the same time, as I've gotten older, I may not be able to take it as long as I used to in my younger years too.

Haven't been tickled for quite a while though, so these opinions are not exactly based on fact, just my thoughts.

I'm easily more ticklish now than I was as a kid. As a kid I could fight it and hold the reactions in (at least for a while) but nowadays as soon as tickling begins I'm a total mess. (Which is funny because I've had more than one person squeal delightedly, "You're as ticklish as a little kid!" before proceeding to reduce me to a helpless heap.)

I'd say that, sadly, my skin is a bit less sensitive now than it used to be.

My subby hubby reports becoming noticeably less ticklish in his late twenties, which is the main reason we incorporate less tickle-play into our scenes than when we first met 🙁

Oh God no. If anything it's worse (better?) Hee!

I can't remember where I read it but, it is suposed to be normal to become less ticklish with age. Makes sense in a way since ageing is pretty much the same as rotting -after 21 or so anyway. Some people do however become more ticklish with age. Not sure why exactly but, in my case it is mental conditioning. I got the idea from a book I found at my local library years ago. I don't recall the title but, there was a segment about two lovers who explored sensitization of some sort. Anyway that's partly how I learned to do it and probably also because of my severe obsession with tickling and being ticklish.

I imagine it's the same reason that as people get older they lose hearing and sense of taste. Not completely, I mean, but those sense reduce with age in everybody. Nerves age and dull, skin toughens a bit, etc.

Exactly!

All the more reason to use tubs of heavy body cream all over, lol. I'd say I'm at least as ticklish as when I was younger if not more in certain places and I wouldn't have it any other way. God help me if I lose my ticklishness, the horror. 😀

I'm kind of surprised that I'm among the only people whose ticklishness has significantly increased with age. No wonder, I guess, that the fellow grown-ups who discover my ticklishness react with such surprise and delight and treat it as a novelty to be exploited with fascination and frequency...

Would your vacation plans happen to include the Mariana Islands? 🙂

 

[sassyblonde]

I have to say for me the ticklishness hasn't changed since I was a kid. I am still as ticklish now as I was then.

I can't help flinching at the very notion. I predict the Mariana Islands would be the site of my ignominious (and squirmy) demise.

But at least I reckon you'd surely get tired of tickling me after a few... what? Minutes?

How about a trip to the Jersey shore? 😉


As for the question, I'm still as ticklish as I was as a kid.

My dad was very ticklish on his feet, and saw my mom playfully tickle him the other day, he's still as ticklish as he was when he was in his 30s.

Waxes. Wanes. No apparent reason.

I Am Less Ticklish, Firm, Attractive, Intelligent, Agile And Resourceful Than I Was In My Younger Days. Now If I Could Just Tone Down The "tmi" Gene I'd Be Happy!!

A few minutes, hmm ... well, two hours is 120 minutes, so if we take that as "a few," then a few minutes should be enough 🙂

If I come to the Jersey shore I'm making a point of trying to keep my shoes on!

Curses! Thwarted by mathematical semantics!

That does it; if I go to the Mariana Islands I'm gonna try to keep my shoes AND my shirt on. A fella's stomach is clearly not safe around there...

Very true -- the Wild Ab-Mistress is native to that region, and you know how she selects her "mates" 😉

Awwwww c'mon! You wouldn't let a friend have just a little fun???? 😉
