Hi, I fell in love with ticklish at a very early age. When I was 5 or 6 my classmates went around tickling the rest of us. Everybody writhed and laughed from the tickling touches, all except me! I did not respond to any tickling even at that young age. A year or 2 later I was in a new school and different classmates wanted to tickle the "new kid". Again there was no response. Then, as I was reaching puberty, very early for a guy (It was just before my 11th birthday), the neighborhood adolescents pulled off my shoes, socks and shirt, held me down and using fingers, feathers and brushes on my bare feet, belly, ribs and underarms, to tickle me, but again my body didn't respond to the tickling. When I was 12 I realized I had an advantage others my age didn't have, I could tickle them but they could not get me to respond to tickling. Through the years I have learned how to tickle others to get the best reponses! Now as an adult I am still not ticklish and never have been.
I often wonder what it actually feels like to be ticklish! People try to explain it to me but it's like explaining the color blue to a blind person, you just have to experience it and I can't!
