Does Body Fat Effect how ticklish a person is?

[Uktickler]

We know that body fat insulates against the cold but do you think it also insulates against tickling?

In partiuclar on the Tummy. For example if a person has a really low body fat (eg they are lean you can see their ribs) and are say a 9/10 on the ticklish scale, do you think that their 'ticklishness' is likly to decrease if they where suddenly carrying alot of fat on their tummy?

I definatley think it makes a difference with ticklish people. In my experience, a lee with more muscle tone is more susceptible and feels the tickles more so. That being said, people of every shape and size are ticklish. I believe a ticklish person is ticklish no matter what, body fat won't have a profound effect on the level of ticklishness they experience. 😀

Every fat girl I've ever known has been very, very, very ticklish.

So maybe.

Id say definately. i think its much more effective tickling firm skin than rolls of fat.

I gotta agree with Deadly and Maniac on this one 😀

I don't know folks -- I'll go ahead and say it --- I carry a spare tire with my everywhere I go. (and i don't even have a car LOL) And my belly is my worst ticklish spot. Maybe that's the exception to the rule. But in my case it offers no protection from a ler's evil fingers.

Body fat doesn't inhibit ticklishness one bit. In fact, as a producer and veteran gathering attendee I've noticed that thinner people tend to whine more about it hurting (especially with kneading and prodding tickling on ribs and hips and such) which is always such a turnoff...you can tell folks who actually tickle vs folks who mostly fantasize about tickling from these questions 😉

Body fat isn't an indicator of ticklishness. Sorry to get all biological on you, but it has to do with where the nerves happen to be in a person. Some are exposed & very sensative while others are burried deep beneath tissue. And, the nerves that are exposed or burried, very depending on the type of nerves.

Some people's pressure points are exposed & easy for the pickins, while those same people may be anything but ticklish. From the waist up, my pressure points are next to impossible to expose & use, but some in my legs are ripe for the pickins. I am extremely sensative, almost everywhere, as far as tickling is concerned.

Weird huh! But anyhooters, its the best way for me to explain it. Hope it helps!
