I've been thinking about the question of reaction a lot since my screamers/laughers post and anonymiss86's directing me here to this post.
I've been wondering how much the factor of size/strength/ability to overpower on the part of the 'ler plays in. Is there something about even the potential to be physically overpowered that makes a lee lose it? I'm a guy, and primarily a ler, although I like being tickled. However, I've been reflecting on how I can't even remember a situation I've been in where I've actually been tickled by someone stronger than me. Probably not since I was a kid, and even then I don't remember.
I've been realizing lately that I may be more ticklish than I thought I was. I compared my ticklishness with girls' reactions and would see them absolutely freak out and go into hysterics. But does that have something to do with actually knowing the 'ler (whether they are doing it or not) has the ability to hold them down and dominate them? When I'm tickled, it's usually a very short tickle that is either accidental (e.g. girlfriend brushes my stomach, massage therapist working on my feet) or playful and quick. The times I've "let" a girl tickle me for longer, I've definitely started laughing. What would happen if I knew I didn't have control and couldn't get away? I don't know...but my reaction might be just as wild and hysterical as those squealing young girls 🙂
