Fear vs. Ticklishness question

[BlueLine7045]

any amount of tickling is not life threatening less the person has some sorts health condition which would be unsafe for any strenuous physical activity

imho

I'm not talking about tickling itself. I'm talking about situations such as armed robbery, hostage taking, kidnapping, home invasion, etc. which are insanely stressful already, and may be more so if weapons are involved.

Should tickling then take place during the course of one of these situations, I feel that the overall mental and emotional stress from any of the above situations would severely dampen any type of ticklish response.

When I was about 5 years old there were 2 teenage girls that lived next door and they would hold me down and tickle me until I had trouble breathing. They usually did this when nobody was around, but if there were adults present they found it amusing and would encourage them. If I saw those girls heading my way I would run, I was terrified that they were going to get me! 🙂

And nowadays you'd probably actually run TOWARD them when u saw em.....or at Ieast i think I probably would!! Lol

I was tickled as a kid non consenting and still am. I don’t see it as child abuse. But then again, I’m autistic and weird. But tickling a kid, even if they don’t want it can be good for them. For me it helped me to stop hurting myself sometimes and get me out of my funk when over whelmed. I hated it then and still do. But not I feel differently about it. But hardly think a kid not wanting to be tickled is abuse.
