Ticklishness VS. Technique

[Miss Serendipity]

This is a spin off of my Technique Vs. Connection thread. The question of how ticklish are you has always just baffled me because I believe that the question is definitely person to person based.

I would self-describe myself as incredibly/insanely ticklish or something along those lines. with that said, I do believe that my ticklishness depends on the 'ler though. Even though I am soo ticklish I have found that depending on who is tickling me really can affect my ticklishness. It baffles me because like one person can confirm that I am indeed "that" ticklish while another person would make me seem less ticklish even though I am really not! I guess skill really pays off.

THOUGHTS???

Is that really you in the sig? If so I would love to tickle you as I live in the PNW.

I do agree that it depends, I am more ticklish when the ler has good technique and of course knows where to get me 😛

If one has great technique it could make an individual more ticklish and if one has horrid fingers than you might not laugh at all. Thats my opinion.

No doubt about it... some people just don't know how to tickle or it comes across awkwardly. Thankfully, this has never been a problem for me 😀 LOL

As a lee, I'm pretty ticklish too. I've met women who can make me absolutey go nuts and others, like you say, where it just isn't doing it... technique just isn't there. So yes, I think that plays a huge role in ticklishness... also the fact that obviously there must be some kind of comfort zone or relationship with the ler, cause nerves impact ticklishness too I find.

If you are too nervous it can effect how much you laugh as well. See howard stern for example when he tries to tickle the various guests.

No its barbie, of course its me!

It's about skill as well as mood. If the atmosphere is one of attack instead of pleasuring, then it may decrease ticklishness. Being a male tickler of females, I notice on tickling videos that men like to, what I call, attack-tickle. It's when they do this heavy poking-shaking motion on flesh that they think is tickling when it looks like nothing more than poking-shaking flesh. Tickling with the hands should involve light strokes, heavy strokes (both at various speeds), slow and fast caresses (that's using the palms, not just fingers, to travel along the ticklish areas), gentle fast-and-slow squeezing in soft, fleshy areas such as sides and thighs. Mouth action, whether it's licking/sucking/nibbling, on ticklish areas, from nips to toes--and nibbling doesn't mean biting and gnawing like some rabid animal. I view tickling as an erotic celebration/worship of soft, ticklishi flesh and the pleasures it releases.

Miss S., I suspect, from your post, that you are very sensitive to the vibes of the tickler, which may explain why you elicit differing levels of ticklishness.

Chey,

I couldn't agree with you more, however I am also learning that for me, Connection really does play a HUGE role in my reactions. Someone I trust and who I can "let in" will get a MUCH better reaction from me then someone who just doesn't know me that well.

I've said it before and I stick by it, The mind games and psychological aspects play a huge role for me as well. To me, I think this falls under the catagory of technique. Someone who is willing to take their time to get to know me is probably more likely to get the reaction they want, just because they know "How to work me" - so to speak. Vs someone who "dives right in" without figuring out what makes me "tick" and what gets me going. Alot of people would say i'm not really that ticklish to start, i'm one of those lee's that needs to get "warmed up" ... However, once that happens, ALL bets are off!

First off, what an great pic of you Chey, you look awesome.

Secondly, the topic. I can definitely answer this as I have a girlfriend who is one of those people who have zero ticklishness, only time I can ellicit even a giggle from her is when I catch her completely off-guard and in a really sensitive spot... which are few and far between. Technique means nothing if the lee isn't ticklish but if your lee is ticklish then a balance between technique and provoking the full ticklish potential must be had.

I agree with what you and T are implying about the trust factor. I think if you aren't familiar with the ler then it might be difficult to feel comfortable and relax when being tickled since feeling comfortable and relaxed only heightens the sensation. Having someone you trust and respect doing the lerish deeds I think provides that air of comfort and relaxation but also an air of security, because you know them and they know you:they'll push you to your limits but they know to back off when you really want them to stop. I think it's takes a balance of skill and ticklishness to provoke the best, most elongated potential reaction from a lee but the most important thing is being able to fully relax and enjoy it throughout and to that I agree that trust is perhaps more important than skill.

Aww thanks!

That made me LOL so hard! 🙂

It definitely depends on skill! Some people just don't know how to tickle.

 

[CrystalLight]

omg. This is my favoritest post ever.


OP: Sure, it's about technique, it's also about how sensitive you are though. I mean some folks don't really need a certain technique to get riled up quickly, but someone who is identically sensitive might just need that. It's all contextual.

 

[Artoo]

A little from column A, a little from column B.

If you aren't ticklish, no amount of skill is going to tickle you.
If you're a crap 'ler, you're not going to get a reaction out of any potential 'lee.

Of course, most people fall somewhere in the middle.

I remember watching a youtube video about an experiment. It was showing how people your physically attracted to are able to affect you more demonstrated with tickling. Im hoping it was wrong because ill be screwed hehe

 

[Black Hat]

There are some people who only respond to surface tickling while others who require a more...deep tissue approach. If you tickle someone too hard it hurts, but there are easily others who respond quite favorably to it.

Myself, I'm mostly tickling on my skin, not so much underneath. Like she said its contextual...

 

[Gadilici]

LOL!

No its barbie, of course its me!

I imagine the levels of ticklishness depend on many factors. And I imagine some factors are more vital for some than others. If the reports of tickling used as real punishments are to be believed, then obviously, not everyone needs the connection to be tortuously ticklish. Some people must have technique or regardless of connection, they're not ticklish. Some are very psychologically oriented, some it's pure physiology.

Keeps life from getting boring 😉

Of course, if you're physically attracted to someone you will allow more touch and show more reaction because you want to be touched more! If you are not physically attracted to someone, you will contain yourself so the person loses interest and stops touching you! 🙂

I saw that, as well! 😱 Very interesting. 😀
Wish I knew what show that was from. XD

 

[SilverHealer84]

Yeah. Being tickled by my first boyfriend yielded nothing. Not when he went after my feet, not when he kneaded my hips, nothing. And he was quite bent on tickling me 24/7! It was the first time I'd been really tickled, and I usually kept all feelings and "weakness" on the back burner (yeah, long story there), and I never really had a reaction. He simply had a terrible lack of skill and clumsy fingers, and I was a virgin to the whole experience and was rather uncomfortable with simply "letting" myself be ticklish.

But the first time the man who is now my husband went after my feet? Yeah, I totally went through the roof, screaming the whole way. But I'd known him for years and was very comfortable and relaxed with him. I was shocked at my ticklishness! I'd begun to believe I wasn't at all ticklish, which was upsetting me! But he quickly found my spots and quickly learned how to apply his fingers or mouth to cause the most intense sensations. Totally different world!!

BOTH

If the victim (let me call it that way) is not ticklish, good technique might produce a limited response.

Being ticklish in my feet, I recall that technique can produce from tolerable to unbearable sensations. It took some time until my wife actually learned how to tickle torture me. Now she is an expert.
Watch Priscilla James, Brooke or Charlee clips and you will see great technique, however many times you will see them performing great technique with unticklish models and the results are poor

It definitely depends on the technique!
When my girlfriend tickles me, it doesn´t tickle that bad and I can stand it. Guess she´s not the best ler. 😀
But there´s one of her friends who loves to tickle me, and when she does it...wooh! xD
