That is likely the most definitive study on tickling and sexuality that I’ve ever read. Want to reread to better understand the trends. Good find!

It's too bad they didn't contact me, I would have given their survey a ton of free promotion and probably been able to get them hundreds of respondents.

so glad you've all enjoyed having a read - the literature review/overview before they describe the actual study is really interesting and TMF Jeff - you're totally right!

the authors would probably be down with you letting them know about the TMF

I would say that Frontiers is a decent-ish publisher, I'd say it's the actual journal that can be decent/decent-ish/dodgy-as-all-hell. But it's really interesting that there are some articles exploring tickling from the position of sexuality; most of the articles I've seen are from a more psychological/physiological perspective investigating why/how tickling produces the reactions that it does.
