Have you been tickled to tears? If so, what was the source of that emotion? Were you angry, frightened, general cathartic release?
 
This subject matter is relevant to my interests. :popcorn:
 
Being tickled to tears doesn't necessarily mean emotional tears. Tears come in two forms, emotional and not emotional. Emotional tears contain cortizol, adrenaline and other stress hormones and are produced when your body has too much of them due to whatever emotion (because of this it's my opinion that tears aren't a sign of weakness, they're your body rejecting weakness in the most efficient way possible xD ). The not emotional ones include things like when wind blows in your eyes, when you have something in them, or when you laugh too hard--as when when you're tickled.

That being said, I've had really bad, tense days where I was just wound like a drum-being tickled on those days does occasionally allow me to relax enough to let some of those nasty emotional tears fall when I'd felt like I had to be too 'strong' to allow it to happen. Fantastic feeling.

@TKLVR18 Good point about emotional v. non-emotional tears. I think I'm talking mostly about the first sort.

So in the cases you're talking about it was a sort of catharsis or release of immediate feelings that you'd been bottling up?

Definitely. I'm way too much of a 'lee to get angry/sad/overwhelmed from the tickling 😀 But the relief of not having anything to worry about, even if just for fifteen minutes of helpless laughter, is one of the most cathartic experiences ever <3

Personally, I've always viewed a good laugh as a great release of tension. Healthy tickling requires a delicate balance between not enough vs too much. If a woman is tickled to the point of tears, the tickler has pushed her too hard, too far, and has ventured into the realm of abuse.
 
Kinda depends on the woman, and what she wants.

And of course there are male 'lees too.
 
If she's crying, chances are pretty good she didn't want whatever you're giving her.

By the way, aren't you missing something?

The last time I was seriously tickled, I broke down and balled. It wasn't due to the activity, itself, but more of a floodgate of emotions that got broken down. This all happened about a year or so after my marriage went to hell, so I was all bottled up. My friend, who was also a Domme, was relentless in her exploration to find my tickle spots. As I hadn't really been touched much, and I had been generally angry and repressed, the combination of anticipation, sexual frustration, and physical contact just turned me into a sobbing mess. It wasn't her intent for that to happen at all, but it did, and I felt so much lighter after.

Unless what she wants is to be pushed to tears. It happens, whether or not you believe it. But the only way to be sure is to ask before you start, so...

That seems to be a consistent element: suppressed or bottled emotions that can be released by tickling. I've seen it happen from flogging too, and even intense massage. Seems to be something about manipulating nerves and muscles that cuts it loose.

The most interesting times, for me, are when the person experiencing the release doesn't know where it's coming from. That is, they aren't remembering whatever is making them cry, and they aren't crying because of what's happening to them, at least not directly. It's like raw emotion with nothing attached to it.
 
As TKLVR18 pointed out, you can have tears for reasons other than negative emotions. I think we've all laughed so hard that we've had tears from seeing something funny or hearing a joke. All things equal, I think those are the tears that you get when tickling someone to the brink. In other words, it's physical, not emotional. That's not to say that their tears can't be emotional like tears of joy or anger or sadness. I think the ticklee can tell you whether the tears are physical or emotional.
 
piyr, I agree that the 'lee can tell. That's why I asked the question. :triangle:
 
I've been tickled to tears, but only from laughing too hard... in a silent laughter situation. It was amazing! XD

It's not exactly a priority for those of us who don't get off on making women cry. I'm going from decades of personal observation. Most women don't get pleasure from being made to cry. But then again, most gentlemen don't get pleasure from their distress.

Spot on. In my experience, it's not uncommon for people to cry after a massage, as the release of muscle tension can bring about an emotional response. The same thing can hold true in anything that's intensely physical, especially when you throw in the endorphins that tickling and orgasms bring.

I've known women to cry or laugh (or both!) after multiple orgasms. Contrary to what some might tell you, the tears certainly did not mean that they didn't like what had happened.
