things that effect ticklishnss

[TicklingDuo]

More and more, my hubby and I have been noticing things that effect how ticklish we are during our tickling sessions. I thought I'd share some of those things and see what others have to add. Maybe it will give people some hints to enjoy sessions more.

Though I'm VERY ticklish all over no matter what, these things seem to have some influence.

1) the temperature of the room - If I'm too hot or cold (esp. cold), it often distracts me from the tickling.

2) bondage - Being unable to fight and avoid the tickling definitely adds to things. The surrender to the idea of not bothering to fight removes that struggle as a distraction.

3) clothing - The less I have on, the more ticklish I seem to be...even in the same places. The sense of openness and vulnerability really adds to things.

4) non-tickling contact - If there's other contact (such as resting an arm across the belly while tickling the sides) it tends to distract me from the tickling itself...lessening the effect.

5) comfort level - The more comfortable I am...both emotionally and physically...the more I can feel & enjoy the tickling.

6) health issues - Things like colds, allergies, body aches, etc. tend to distract me and make me less ticklish, while hormonal changes during and after PMS make me much more tickish.

7) timing - The length of a tickle session and its intensity can add to things. For me, varying the intensity and location and forcing anticipation keeps me more on edge and guessng..which can really send me over the edge into ticklish oblivion.

OK...enough for now. What has everyone else noticed?

I think what effects tickling ...in my experience..is feathering the body..then light, gentle tickling. It seems to really liven the nerves of the body. I also have had g/f's tell me that nylons increase the ticklishness..especially feathering the barefeet first then slipping on there nylons and more light fingertip tickling. I also think bondage is great as well..even more so ..blindfolds..

Lets here more ideas...

I've found that if it's cold it makes me feel more ticklish, or at least it has done in the past. I'm not really much of a ticklee unless I'm really in the mood, but I just thought that might be worth bringing up.

One of Nightfall's friends told her that his wife gets more ticklish after eating spicy foods. We haven't been able to verify whether or not it works reliably, but it does add a little extra thrill to ordering Indian takeout.

I've experimented with several different types of torture that go along with a tickling scene. There are two things that absolutely make my feet HORRIDLY ticklish which is wild since I'm already horribly ticklish.

These are going to sound SICK to many of you but they work. And when I first heard of them I ran for the hills. I'm allergic to pain so I wasn't interested but I tried them anyway.

Heat - Roasting the feet with a heat lamp and applying oil to the soles of the feet. The use of the oil helps to ensure the victim doesn't get burnt. You have to keep the lamp quite a distance away to roast the feet thoroughly and not cause pain. The results - Electrifying. One finger down the sole will send me through the roof. Raking the soles is almost deadly!

Bastinado - light paddling of the feet with a spoon or paddle. This gentle slapping or light whipping the bottoms of the feet sensitizes them by bringing the blood closer to the surface of the feet and thus... must ticklish.

these both sound wierd I know but in a bondage situation with a highly skilled "ler" you will be suffering more tickle TORTURE than you could ever imagine.

Bastinado

Although I am a pain slut, I had the same reaction as QB when I first heard of Bastinado. "NO WAY"
Well, I have since explored this with Master Pete and we use a leather riding crop or his HORRIBLE bamboo cane. Actually, I love the cane on my feet. It's the cane on my poor bottom that keeps this smart ass in line.
Anyway, after several tapping like strokes, i get one hard stroke and then immediate tickling to the stinging area. WOW!!! my feet are so lit and excrutiatingly ticklish.
QB called it sensatizing. I call it tenderizing, like with meat. Either way, Bastinado really works.

BTW, the use of the cane or crop on other body parts works as well to heighten ticklishness.

You two just crack me up! Pain slut? Oh my goodness! LOL

I will state now, and always have, that I'm a pain wienie. I'm allergic to pain. That's why, when these two things were mentioned to me I said "HECK NO". But I was willing to experiment providing he would stop the second I asked him too. Well it turned out it was more frightening than painful and he did stop the second I asked him to.

But the thought of using either of those techniques anywhere else... Man I just don't know. I don't think so. I just enjoy tickling way too much.

But that's just me!

Hey thanks for the pointers TickngDuo!
They will all come in handy during my tickling! 😀

How long does this take?

 

[QBWeaver]

the time it takes is different for everyone. Probably about 10 minutes is about the max but I'm not really positive about that. As a "lee" it seemed like an eternity. As a "ler" I believe it was around 10 minutes or so.

Sounds like a cooking recipe: Roast slowly and stir gently over low flame...

Get your toasted tootsies here! 10 for a dolla'!

They're YUMMMMMMMYYYYY!~

heheheheh

I've been following this thread with great interest and it was nice to see that a little bastinado is not incompatible with tickling. I like some aspects of bastinado per se but never really indulged in it because of safety concerns.

QB or Njjen, if you don't mind I'll ask you for a few more details on your experiences:
Could you tell me how long the light paddling went on before your feet became more ticklish?
Was one area tapped repeatedly or the strokes covered the foot randomly?

 

[terorizer]

I'd have to say your number 5 has been the most consistent barometer in my experiences.

5) comfort level - The more comfortable I am...both emotionally and physically...the more I can feel & enjoy the tickling.

Personally, the more emotionally and mentally comfortable I am with someone, (hence "available"), the more responsive I am. I've noticed, those with whom I'm closest, can never not get a reaction out of me because of this. Most ticklees I've talked about this with have echoed the same sentiment.

Otherwise, the one other x factor I've noticed is general bio-physiological-chemical stuff. One day you wake up and that same poke for whatever reason seems to tickle a WHOLE lot more than it did yesterday!

Sweet Gentle Torture

I agree that the gently use of bastinado and heating is reallt sexualy arousing (at least for some of us), also I suggest pinching and nibbling the soles.

I like to nibble and bite the soles of women s feet, specially the harder slightly calloused spots as the heels or the balls of the feet.

But of course BE CAREFUL!!!

Psst. Diego,
Don't tell anyone, but doing that to me sends me immediately to my favorite place. sub space. 😀
