Greater than or equal to?

[Ticklebug]

I have a question for those who have experience much more tickling than myself.

I have occasionally met, and have frequently read about in video descriptions stories of real life experiences, of girls who did not have very ticklish feet, but were still upper-body ticklish and therefore suitable as ticklee actors, or ticklees.

Question: Is the opposite possible or frequent? i.e. Ticklish feet, not ticklish elsewhere. Or are the feet the last to go, so to speak? I realize that there differing levels of ticklishness from person to person form body area to body area.. but as a statistical truth can it be said that if a girl’s feet are ticklish than the girls is ticklish?

Part of the reason of the inquiry is that if you want to test a girl’s ticklishness with the least intrusion and the most accuracy, than it would be advantageous if there were one spot that would be the litmus test. If the feet were such a place than an errant scratch during a foot massage or shoe sizing would be subtler than poking someone in the ribs "by accident" and then still not know if their feet were ticklish.

Mathematically put: for any given person- "Is the {set of all areas that are ticklish} where the feet is an element of that set, greater than or equal to the {set of all areas that are ticklish}?"

Too small...

I think we have too small a group to be statistically significant (and therefore relatively accurate)...all i can say is that in my nearly 50 years, i've seen all combos and spots that are/aren't ticklish. Life just isn't easy for the weary tickle fetishists..... Q

well.....

I myself (a male) am horribly ticklish on my feet- but others have tired themselves out in vain trying to get the rest of me to respond. But because all my sensitivity went "downhill" so to speak and wound up in my feet- they are 10,000 times worse than any guy we ever met. Really off the scale. So now when I run into a girl who says "Oh I'm really not ticklish much... oh, yeah- except for my feet- I can't stand it there"...well.. my heart races... they usually turn out to be about as bad (or worse) as I am- my female counterpart so to speak... and I know it's real (not embellished) and I loooooooooooooove it.

There isn't too many of them out there, but there are some- and I look forward to meeting many more!

GT or EQ?

I don't have Kujman's level of experience, but I've kept a rough tally over the past 35 years or so and have a "statistical universe" of well over 100 individuals. About 80% of those girls/women have ticklish feet, at least to some degree and in some circumstances. I'm not interested in UB so I haven't kept track, but my impression is that the percentage is roughly the same, with the same qualifiers.

I've found some that had extremely ticklish feet but weren't ticklish anywhere else. These weren't "last to go" situations - some of them were in their early teens (when I was a teen also.) Likewise, I've met some whose feet weren't ticklish at all, but extremely so somewhere else. I haven't seen any correlation between ticklish feet and ticklishness elsewhere.

Although feet have the reputation of being the most or most consistently ticklish area, there is a lot of room to question that. One scientific researcher listed feet as fourth after underarms, waist and ribs.

As other's have commented, there is tremendous variation. I personally think that since feet are more accessible to casual touching, there is more of a perception of their ticklishness. But the upper body areas are actually experienced by people as more intimate, vulnerable, and therefore more ticklish.

HOWEVER, it takes a much bolder touch to get to and stimulate those body parts.
