I read the Video Reviews. I hear people's opinions. Often I hear this line-"The tickling was so faked.", or "She wasn't ticklish at all." What are the criteria that make us form opinions that someone is "faking"?
For me, I have a few dead giveaways.
1. When a truly ticklish foot is tickled, the toes curl in protest to protect the sole. The foot does not sit still. If a ticklish person is in stocks or the like, they will fight to get away.
2. He He He Ha Ha Ha Cheesy Giggles. From my experience, really ticklish people scream. The laugh is not a pronounced laugh. It has more of a breathy whine to the laughing. Or sometimes no sound at all..."The Silent Laugher". Ahhhhhhhhh!
3. The eyes. A truly ticklish person will have a slight look of panic in their eyes. Like an "Oh my God, what have I got myself into?" look.
I've seen my share of clips and movies. Some I think are really good, honest tickling. Others just suck.
How do you spot faked tickling? It would really be interesting to hear from the video producers themselves. Chime in!
