nonticklish/ticklish tickling ticklish people

[TicklingIsLife]

I was pondering about this...

Does a ticklish person tickle better than a nonticklish person or to tickle good you must be ticklish too!

😱 ...talk about a mouth full...😛 😀

I think it doesnt matter if the tickler is ticklish or not. Im not ticklish(tried to be, but no luck) and i can still break someone by tickling them. It just matters if you got the moves or not.

I think that in some cases, people who aren't ticklish make lousy ticklers, because it's something they don't understand. They often don't know how much pressure to apply, and end up brushing, scratching or grabbing, instead of tickling. Keep in mind, there are of course exceptions. My ex, wasn't ticklish, but she was an incredible tickler!

One can usually manage to get good reactions from a ticklish subject (and I love every one of them). But I'm not ticklish and sometimes I'm left with the feeling that I'm missing an important part of the tickling experience since I do not really understand what the ticklee is going through.

Hmmm.....

That is a very interesting question.....

A Formerly Ticklish Tickler's Thoughts...

I used to be very ticklish until I was tickled to the point I had to turn it off or asphyxiate at about the tender age of 10 years old. Since that day of traumatic torture, I have not been responsive to tickling, I guess I simply instinctively turn it off now. njjen said she tickled my sole in my sleep once recently (her .5% ler came out to visit, LOL!!!) and I started awake and said, "that wasn't supposed to happen," then went back to sleep.

Getting to the question at hand? Well, I think that the biggest benefit my former ticklish status gave me is that it made me a more respectful and responsible tickler today. There was little that I could take from my torture experience I would want to apply to an actual tickle situation because I don't believe people should typically be tickled until asphyxiated. Even if a person says they prefer that intensity of tickle play, it is unsafe to go to that level without some sort of safeword or safety system in mind to prevent going unconscious, in my opinion. njjen and many others females I have had the honor of tickling enjoy a very ruthless brand of tickling, to be sure, but they don't advocate asphyxiation either. I would likely not be granted the priveledge of tickling them again, were I to be so insensitive to their personal safety as to take it to the point of unconsciousness. That's one of the many reasons I advocate using a safeword, especially if you have never played with a person before.

Just my $.02, as dvnc would say😀

My take on the subject

I don't think you have to be ticklish to tickle well. Knowing the type of touch, be it a poke, stroke, or very light touch will produce the desired reaction. Being a good tickler is having the ability to read the ticklee and see which touches have the most effect. Guitar Pete has brought up a very good warning. I learned the hard way, years ago, about the lack of a safe word. Goofing off and fantasies are great to have, but when the reality of an unconscienous ticklee is experienced, it is frightening. Made a believer out of me.

heh, as im kinda partial to a tickle fight as opposed to the whole torture thing, so Id say that not being ticklish it makes them infinitely better, as the fight becomes suddenly very one sided. Otherthan that, I cant say Ive ever been tickled the way some of you have, so I cant answer!

I used to not be ticklish...then was able to control it...now am very ticklish. I feel like my skills are just as good now as then (practice makes perfect)! The overly ticklish people in my life aren't the best ticklers...they tried to avoid the situations and didn't get as much practice...unless they liked it. Those people who like being tickled (despite their ticklishness) are really good at it! I have a couple friends who are not ticklish at all or in one, hard to reach spot, and one in particular is a devestating tickler...to the point that, given the chance, would have me in hysterics!

I have to follow what Pete said.
I used to be ticklish up until my middle teen-age years and it slowly went away. Now 10 years later, I am not ticklish at all, well one spot but that is "private"... 😱
I was never tickled to the point of torture or anything, it just went away.
But I do remember what it felt like to be curled up into a little giggling ball, loving the tickling.
I guess it helps to empathise with the tickling but I don't think whether you are ticklish or not has any implication on how you tickle now.
In fact a ticklish person might not tickle as effectively thinking about the revenge that might take place down the road!!! 😎

This is the situation where my .5% ler(recently increased to 25% ) comes on strong. I love to tickle mercilessly if it means submitting to the revenge. 😀
