Toyou444, would it be possible to type what it says in the articles that are too hard to read.

Great finds, Thanks.

I was afraid that would be the case with some of these. I'll crop the originals and upload them again!

It's just the "Torture by tickling" divorce article I couldn't read. I was able to make out the rest.

Did you get these from a public library or a college/university library? 😎

 

[toyou444]

These should be easier to read!

Much Better, Thanks toyou444.

 

[teamtickleguy]

thanks toyou - very interesting - opticallty challenging indeed but nevertheless i really do like those public reports on tickling and being ticklish!

Some of the other articles made good reading too!

Oh MY GOD!!! A paper from Waterloo, Iowa?? Who'da thunk. I also noticed in the 2nd divorce proceeding, the name Tobias Hackner was brought up...Explains alot, doen't it.

ToYou, you are a marvel. This is what I'm talking about when I refer to as Pre-Net Mainstream.

Toyou! Excellent, fascinating! 1944!!!!!!! Fascinating! Jesus, how did you dig this up! Thanks!!!

 

[milagros317]

Great finds, toyou. Thanks for posting. 😀

Wild stuff, Toyou. I had never heard the 'muscles contract' explanation for harder-type tickling. Very interesting. They put that forth several years ago, yet I don't see this information being reiterated. Thanx for posting these, Toyou!

'Pre-net mainstream' indeed, Rxx. I can recall going to the library when I was younger and searching out articles in medical journals on the subject. But only the 'older' set could appreciate such circumstances.

 

[toneus79]

Nice finds, I can't believe how old some of these papers are though (one was 1944 and another from 1940).

Thank you very much toyou, for an amazing and most unusual post. It's fascinating to see the interest and controversy that tickling can arouse in the wider community. Brilliant!
