In my opinion, ViperGTS, I would say the answer to your question is YES and NO.
It sounds to me like you have an extremely close relationship with this ticklish lady. This oipens the door to all sorts of erotic exploration and experimentation.
I would recommend that you try a variety of things and see which works bes for the both of you.
When I am involved in erotic tickling with a lady who is expecting tickling followed by sexual relief, I prefer to start with 100% restrained tickling. I am partial to spft wrist and ankle restraints which can be bought at SpencerGifts.
In my experiences, I have tied and tickled the lady for anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours and tickled her playfully and erotically. Eventually I would begin to worship her breasts as I gently tickled her armpits and then I I would apply a Dr. Scholls vibratingt wand to her sweetspot. This is where orgasm denial works well... as she is building an orgasm, interupt it with tickle attacks. Each time she gets closer to an orgasm, tickle her again until you finally allow her to cum.
After that, it might then be a good idea for you to release her arms while you continue to tickle/worshipher and whe will be free to use her hands where she pleases.
That's my 2 cents worth. PM me if you want more details but don't expect any names or locations of the ladies I have tickled. I am onlydiscussing technique.
