Skin ticklish vs muscle ticklish.

[porcelaindoll2]

Wow it has been awhile since I've felt I had something to post in here. Cross posted from FetLife.

This thread is happening due to play I had last night. I told Sir I was happy he figured out how to tickle me. He said, "It was easy once I found out you were skin ticklish instead of muscle ticklish." How would you differinate the two? The way I see it muscle ticklish is where the person has to be tickled harder. Digging into the muscles with fingers gets the best reactions. Skin ticklish is where the person responds the best to light touches. You barely have to touch me to get an awesome reaction. Sir had me screaming and crying when he found my worst spot. Muscle tickling tends to hurt me more then tickle. I once had a guy who didn't figure out how to tickle me and I woke up stiff with bruises. I mean don't get me wrong I'll respond to muscle tickling, but it hurts more than tickles. Any thoughts on this and what kind of ticklish do you lees or switches out there feel you are?

Muscle ticklish on the ribs and skin ticklish on my arches

I'm both, it just depends on the area. I enjoy the skin ticklishness best.

The muscle tickling is harder to do right without lots of practice with the lee. You know... figuring out exactly how hard to knead. But it can make a lee crazy.

Come to think of it... skin tickling is also a matter of getting to know the lee too. Finding out how to tickle without scratching or hurting.

The difference for me is I enjoy skin tickling. Muscle tickling still gets a reaction, but I truly hate the feeling. It just hurts.

I'm skin ticklish on my soles and on various parts of my face. I'm muscle ticklish on my ribs, underarms, collarbones, and thighs. 😀

I agree with ticklebrowse26, muscle-tickling is very delicate, and it takes a lot of sensibility on the ler's side to make a lee laughing without hurting him/her. A good method is to use the flat part of your finger, rubbing that muscle gently rather than using the tip and hammering. I have had intense reactions on lees that way. On the receicing end it's definitely the method that makes me scream in 20 seconds.

A great effect is yielded when you skin-tickle for a while - the lee laughing in pleasure but without panic, but then suddenly without warning switch to muscle tickling the same area. My ex-bf was very good at that, and it got me by surprise every time. It felt as if he were breaking any means of protection, almost invading my body with his fingers. He would put me in a state of panic in fractions of a second.


One word about rib and collar bone tickling. I would say thay are third kind of tickling, adding to skin and muscle. I would call it bone tickling, and these spots are somewhat different than other spots on the body.

What an excellent question. Interesting. 🙂

Good point about "bone tickling" that is kind of a third type...works like that for the hipbones too. I love skin tickling in general, but it definitely depends on the spot. Some places only respond to heavier tickles....while others, like the ribs/sides or the thighs, seem to respond well to both. Glad people are pointing out the skill of the 'ler though...wow does that ever make or break a session. I hate when tickles turn to straight pain. I like a bit of pain, but when I'm expecting a tickle and it is just plain roughness...well...it's a let down.

Thanks for the wonderful responses.

It's a mix. Skin tickles are very torturous in the right places..but diggin into the sides and ribs and it's like hitting a major tickle button!!
