Ticklers, what is the thing that makes it impossible to stop tickling during play?

[JoBelle]

Kudos to DVNC, for a good thread about what kind of play the ticklees like. That got me to thinking about something that I've discussed with a few ticklers over time. Each has had a unique answer.

When you've got a willing and happy Lee there for "playtime" *I love that word*, What is the ONE thing that somehow makes you insane with tickling? What is it that makes you almost unable to resist the temptation to tickle. Other than a swift kick in the breeches. giggle 😛

Being a newbie on the tickler side of the fence, I can say that when I find a tickle spot that they can't escape from....I can barely even THINK about stopping. Somthing like the inside of the elbow when the arm is stretched out, or the center of the back when he's flat on his stomach. Wiggle all ya like, but I can still get that spot.

I think we all have a "CLICK" moment. What's yours?
Is it a spot, a reaction, a look, a sound??

Great question

Wow...Great question...Makes me think about what it is, or in some cases, what it isnt...

When its with my girlfriend, itd have to be when shes on her computer, and im laying on her floor watching tv. Luckily for me, shes not a big shoe fan, so shes either barefoot or in socks anytime shes at her computer...I dont know why, but i cant resist moving over to her and dragging my finger up and down her foot. Depending on her mood, she might try to keep her laughter in and not move her foot, which just drives me even more bonkers. Cause now its a challenge, and thats where i work best. 🙂

infectious laughter

Had a play experience, no bondage, just fooling around with a friend's sister. Her laugh is the most beautiful giggle I have ever heard. I had a very hard time keeping my hands to myself, she was very ticklish all over. She didn't even complain until I got to her ribs and she was breathless. Yes I got carried away, had a very hard time stopping. Better judgement took over, I didn't want to make enemies with her and her brother. Look forward to seeing her again and again and again....

All of the above actually. Especially if she is on the phone or other moments similar when tickling would be semi inappripriate. 😀

Definatly a spot too that you barely have to even touch to get a "reaction"! 😛 when there is nothing she can do to prevent the tickling!

Great post, Joby, and here's my little contribution: for me, it's after I've given some pretty thorough tickles to a gal, and she says or mutters something like, "That didn't tickle," or, "Is that all you've got?" It instantly triggers my evil 'ler grin and demands an even more intense, longer tickling until they admit they've been overcome. Any volunteers to see this can contact me, including Joby.

Question for the 'lers: if it's a "group scene" of some sort, and assuming the 'lee is the type you want to tickle (in other words, this is a non-gender-specific question), do 'lees that obviously WANT tickling become a turn-on, or not?

Does not matter either way..so long as the lee is ticklish.😀

I'm like mystery, for me it's mostly about laughter. If I CAN make a woman laugh by tickling her, I'm likely to want to 😉

 

[crydun]

For me, it's the uncontrollable laughter that tickling brings on. Some people have a distinctly different, uncontrolled laugh when tickled. This is what I like!!!! For instance, the young man I go to college with that I've referred to on here as my favorite ticklee, the first time I tickled him, he was sitting at the PC lab desk and when I started tickling him, he couldn't even move at first, just sat there and laughed. I like that control!😛 😀

ticklishly yours,

crydun

 

[TicklingDuo]

For me, it depends on my mood. But, there are times when I'm really in an evil mood. Then, if I see that "Oh God, not there!" look in their face....look out! I'll go back and forth to let them breathe and then hit it again...and again...

I also like it if the lee enjoys teasing back with challenges and stuff. I'll take that challenge!

what makes it imposible to stop?

the magical sound of a woman laughing. i know it's there, waiting to be released, and when it is released, the sound is like a narcotic. there is no music in the world so lovely as the melodius tinkling of a womans laughter. my soul feeds on it.

Whenever im tickling someone and theyre talking smack, like when i tickle my friend and all she has to say afterwards is "Is that all you got boyo? Come on wussy, you can do better than that." then I know its on. I wont stop tickling her for another few minutes after that.
Sometimes it can be as subtle as when someone says the word tickle, then everyone gets it. Or maybe even when i see someone else being tickled, i get the urge to just tickle the person next to me.

 

[JoBelle]

YAY! I love these answers!

It tells me something that I thought might be the case. Most ticklers say it emcompasses more than touch. That's cool...it's sound, sight...all of it rolled into an event. I like that. 🙂

Joby...takin' notes

 

[P.H. Tickler]

AGREED! the laughter, and so much more.

steve

Yes, the laughter is like music... and if you know all of her "notes", you can compose quite a lovely tune. It's knowing that tickling in one way produces one kind of reaction and changing the touch can illicit another.
It's definitely action/reaction for me... the best being a very sensitive pair of nylon clad feet wriggling around trying to escape the varied tickling techniques to no avail... the squirming of the legs, the giggles, the warm silky feel... that's what does me in.

 

[terorizer]

Well Joby (now that I can't get that Gipsy Kings song outta my head! "Djobi! Djoba!")

Teasing. Specifically if say I KNOW you love having your feet tickled as much as anything in the world, plus you KNOW I love tickling you, and then, after all of that, when I slide your socks off, you pull your feet away with a "Oh no, you can't do THAT!" look on your face. My reaction is something like a display of fear around the Alpha Male canine.

Question for the 'lers: if it's a "group scene" of some sort, and assuming the 'lee is the type you want to tickle (in other words, this is a non-gender-specific question), do 'lees that obviously WANT tickling become a turn-on, or not?

In a group scene, tickling doesn't become a turn on for me.

 

[strtbottomjim]

OK, now I'm curious, Terorizer - why is that?

It would seem that the audience would enhance the 'lee's feeling of helplessness? I understand if you're not an exhibitionist yourself, and would be tickling while dressed...but I get the sense that doesn't matter?

Is it something about having a 'lee under your sole private control?

Help me understand...

Tickling is one of those magnificent activities that works so many senses simultaneously. Jo, yours is a two part question that makes those late night meditations appealing. I don't get insomnia. I simply enjoy being awake at night thinking about such things as tickling the one sleeping next to me.

The first question is: what reels me in? I confess to enjoying the entire process, and have quite a bit of fun teasing the wife at the start. I like letting her know what's going to happen, and I like it when she screams and begs while she is still able to scream and talk. She tries to fit lots of begging into really fast talking as I start exploring her least ticklish areas first. It takes three or four seconds before the laughter overtakes her pleas to stop it. At this point I still haven't lost my sanity and self control yet. It's just fun (play?) to get started.

Then real tickle screaming sets in. It gets mixed with laughing and still more begging. I honestly think a woman's laughing is the most delightful sound in nature. The fun of being able to force my wife to laugh is so excellent. Even here, she has a tiny bit of control left.

Often she loses any control and starts the silent laughter, and if I have her held down properly, this point is when I kind of lose self control myself and go over the edge, so to speak. This is the time when being a ticklee must be...well, it requires a woman that is a good sport and extremely patient. When she gets into silent laughter, she can't talk any more, and she tries so hard to scream at the top of every breath. She can't even scream for more than a second. Then she laughs so hard it's almost as though she's trying to beg with the way she laughs. I don't know if I'm explaining that right, but it's almost a pleading laugh, maybe partially through her nasal passages. Then silence again when that look on her face is such perfect delight. At this level, I can't stop myself. I'll even tease her by telling her I now have her where I want her.

Is it OK to get the tiniest bit selfish about all this at this point? I think women are fun to tickle because their bodies both invite the tickler and than conspire with the tickler to make it more intense. I usually get the most ticklish areas last. On my wife, that means her armpits, along side her breasts, and up between her legs. I can pin her down and get these areas, and there is nothing she can do about it except to turn me on with her laughing. The selfishness about this is as she laughs it sort of stiffens my resolve, if you get my meaning (I think I do). The harder she laughs, the stiffer my resolve becomes. At this point I'm no longer completely in control, but man-o-man, does it ever feel good! I've always been a closet tickle person, I think partially because of this reaction.

If you want to know what robs me of sanity in tickling, it's this reaction where my ticklee loses all control, only I can get to her ticklish spots, and her reaction and the feel of her body is so sexy that it recaptures my youth, and it feels better and better every second. How in the world can a man be expected to stop tickling when all this happens at the same time?

Hiram

P.S. Last weekend, my wife and I went to see the movie: We Were Soldiers. There's an extremely brief scene at the start of that movie when Mel Gibson's character tickles his wife. I recall when that scene came along, I caught my breath, and I'm pretty sure my date noticed that and the rest of my reaction. That isn't the reason to see the movie, but it did reinforce for me the notion that "tickling" is a fountain of youth.

Thank you muchly for the kind sentiment, lady.

For me, there's nothing, anymore, that pulls me so far in that I'm not watchin' out for my 'lee. It's just how I'm wired, I 'spect. Pavlovian response, really. Don't watch out for your 'lee, and soon you have no 'lee with which to play. Too fond of 'lees to NOT be able to resist if needed.

What tempts me, though, is reaction and spontaneity.

The reaction when someone's tickled is what will pull me in or stand me off of the scene. There are several kinds of reaction that will get my head into 'ler headspace with a quickness. What reactions? Ain't tellin'. 'Specially not 'round 'lees I know I'll see soon! Response is everything, though. 😉

I always want in on spontaneous play. It's hard to resist.

Beyond that, it's all resistable, 'cept from one lady. All she's gotta do is breath. It's murder hearin' her laugh on the phone, 'cause I so wish I was on that end, encouragin' such laughter. Maybe it's why I kid so much. Another means to hear the laughter.

Great question, Jo!

As for strtbottomjim's group question, I'm like T, in that a groups scene no longer gets a rise outta me. Like slow dancin' in high school vs. now, that's changed with time and exposure. If you haven't done our dancin', then you haven't had the exposure long enough to mellow the response, in my observation.

 

[vellicator]

hello All 🙂

Interesting question Jobelle. Well to be honest I am totally facinated with a ticklish spot, the laughter from the ticklee, the squirming, begging and pleading. For me it is all these rolled up in one that makes it very difficult to stop tickling. Of course with a willing ticklee ! Like Jeff said it is a mystery, one that I keep exploring and the irresistable drive to keep tickling sensitive skin, it is like being in a trance at times 🙂

Well I don't know that I can! LOL It's different for different folks.

Tickling has been a love of mine for as long as I can remember, and when I was a toddler, it was just incredible fun. There was no arousal the first ten years I was aware I loved it. So the basis of my relation to tickling stems from fun/fascination vs sexual arousal, even though both occur under certain circumstances. The dynamic of group or gathering play is only fun. I can't really say why tickle-play in a group setting doesn't become arousing for me, but it never has. I can tell you feelings of control or helplessness or exhibitionism aren't turn ons for me in any setting, so they don't factor at all.

 

[-konoko tickle]

ITS probably the knowldege of know that your torturing them

i don't know if im correct or not i've never tickled anyone unless they've tried to tickle me first. I look at tickling as a way of degrading the victim unless its set in the mood of love somehow its also EXTREMELY sexy to see a girl you know who looks hot pinned down and laughing uncontrlably maybe its sensation of knowing that your in controll and that your touching all of her skin to maximize her torture -just a guess 🙂-

 

[MaxSpeer]

What gets me insane is when she starts to say things like "That tickles!" or "I'm so ticklish there"., Any reference to her own weakness for tickling is a big turn on. I also like to interrupt what she's saying by tickling and then hearing her sentence burst into giggles. That's another thing. Giggling is a much bigger turn on for me than screaming laughter. Although I must admit that hearing a woman out of control while she's being tickled his pretty freakin hot!

A woman who is reduced to submissiveness through tickling is also what drives me. The powerful feeling takes over and I know I have total control of her with the touch of my fingers. That's when the whining, giggling pleas for me to stop begin. My God, it's like being drunk!

Hi, first time poster here, can't help chiming in on this great thread. I totally agree with what Max writes above, and I just wanted to share my own experience with the feeling.

Most of my tickling experience was with my (now ex-) girlfriend. It took some time for the trust level in our relationship to build to the point where she was willing to let me tickle her at all, but once that happened it was magic. At first I would have to negotiate how many seconds at a time she would let me tickle her sexy little tummy; 15 seconds without resisting was a real challenge for her. After doing this several times, she told me (smiling and not angry) "I can't stand it!" So I innocently said, "But you're not moving to avoid it...." (I wasn't restraining her in any way.) and she said, "I know, you've got me conditioned." Something about her describing herself as "conditioned" in that context was irresistible to me.

I remember a time when I found a new tickle spot, and she squealed "Jeffrey, it tickles!" The way she said it, it was like she thought I didn't know that, like she thought I would never try to tickle her on purpose, and she was telling me so I'd know and would stop. I'd keep tickling, and she'd repeat "It tickles, it tickles!" as if I hadn't heard her....

She enjoyed tickling me as well, and although in practice I was the 'ler and she was the 'lee the majority of the time, she always claimed that it was only natural to enjoy the tickling more than the being tickled. But one wonderful time when she began by tickling me and then I "turned the tables" on her, she was so obviously ecstatic with delight that I started teasing her about it: "I think I just learned a secret. You LOVE being tickled!" She playfully denied it. I persisted. "You LOVE being tickled, you just love it!" She ended up screaming "I take the fifth! I take the fifth!" over and over and over again through her lovely, joyfully hysterical laughter as I tickled the daylights out of her.

I could go on endlessly about these magical expressions of weakness. The time she was shocked to discover she couldn't stop laughing her head off long after I stopped tickling her, screaming "You're not even tickling me anymore!" in disbelief. [She obviously had never read all the tickling stories that I had. 😉] Or the time I was kissing her neck and it tickled her, and to stop herself from reflexively pushing me away, *she* asked *me* to hold her arms down. There's something about a spontaneous request by a 'lee to be restrained....

Sigh. God I miss that girl. Well, I finally got up the courage to request and receive a NEST invitation, so maybe I'll meet a new 'lee, a new lover, or both at the Tickle de Mayo.
