Hmmm I have to say yes sadly there have been times I have not really been successful in causing the other to say the safeword. There have been quite a few times unfortunately that I have not been able to "break" my lee. But I must say I agree with alot of the members especially also RedMage, for me "breaking my lee" is not really my main goal and not really my objective-I mean yes it is a great fun thing to have happen-like a sweet dessert after dinner that I have been craving suddenly have finally at last-yummy and great-savor and love that-just like I savor and bask in the moment of joy and yummy taste of victory when I eventually at last do find a way to "break my lee"
However I must say that for me I don't think "breaking a lee" is however necessary solid concrete absolute evidence and prowess of whether or not a person has the gift or not to be potentially in future a incredible powerful ler or a incredible powerful switch. You just can't make a judgement from that little bit of information from something like that.
I mean come on, anyone can "really break" a person if he or she really sets one's mind and heart on something-I mean how hard is it to "break a person" right away with no slow tickle build up and slow build up from tickle anticipation. However if a ler or switch quickly attacks and tickle pounces on their lee; especially if their lee is either shackled by hand cuffs, leather restraints, or velcro under bed restraints for tickling purposes-so he or she is defenseless and can not get free-if 15 tickle spots are tickled and pounced ruthlessly upon back to back, no break in between and without mercy...no slow teasing, no slow tickles, no slow tickle warm up and suddenly a person is pounced upon and tickled without mercy-depending on how extremely ticklish a person is---likely the person is going to "break" and say their safe word...that doesn't take rocket science lol
However I think it is more a challenge and it is even more a greater and sweeter victory when the lee is so convinced and sure he or she is strong and can hold out and "not break" then slowly tease and tickle and show them your tickle skills as a powerful ler or switch, show them how much he or she is secretly dying to just let loose and give in and surrender and scream out the safeword-when the tickling is so sweet and so intense and driving him or her completely bonkers and making him or her squirm, thrash, wiggle, and go insane with laughter and joy and it is great fun to slowly and playfully and sweetly but relentlessly and gently and a bit rough at times but not too much-try to persuade the lee to give in and surrender and "break"
Because as well as all of you know-it is agony pure agony and pure tickle bliss and pure tickle ecstacy to be btw the point of going tickle bonkers, and wanting to hold on to will-"not break" not surrender yet another side-dying yearning to just let go and let down the emotional barriers and be one's true self and just let the laughter go and release all that stress and tension...what do all of you think, what are your thoughts on this...? what you think of this tickleteasing, what are your thoughts....???? anyone else have any thoughts or want to contribute some views on this.... do some of you agree w bunny or more you can agree what tickleteasing says is true?? thanks
