Are you, gentle reader, still ticklish?

I can tell all of you that I'm ticklish because you are all far, far away and cannot torture me once you find out. But if you were near, the word would be mum and under the table, cloaked in secret cliches, because I hate being tickled more than nearly anything.

Did you keep this trait into grownupdom? Do people use it against you?

i'm ticklish on the sides of my tum.

It's weird, but I think I'm only ticklish for certain people.

My son is so ticklish you can tickle his FOREHEAD and he COLLAPSES.

I'm still eminently ticklish in my dotage.

My boyfriend will sometimes pretend to tickle me from across the room and I curl up laughing and swearing at him.

I just learned to swim a few years ago. My friend who was teaching me tried to pull me out of some water I couldn't handle, but she grabbed me in my armpits, my most ticklish spot. When I get tickled, I go gangbusters without even thinking. Just FITE rsponse, no flight. So as she grabbed me, I pulled her down and forced her head underwater.

One time my roomie popped up from beside my chair for a surprise tickle. Once again, no thoughts, I just punched him instantly. It broke his glasses down the center of the frame.

I'm very ticklish. People do take advantage of this.

I'm not sure how much detail to go into here. I'm used to posting in places where I can be more frank about certain things. You might want to stop reading at this point if you don't want to read me talking about technical aspects of BDSM stuff.

I wouldn't say I have a tickling fetish, as such, but I am into BDSM and particularly D/s, and tickling, for me, is a very good form of BDSM sensation play, because I am *so* ticklish that I lose all voluntary control of my limbs. In fact, I have to give people a health warning: don't try to tickle me unless I'm very well restrained, or you're very careful, otherwise I'm likely to accidentally kick or headbutt you as I spasm.

It doesn't arouse me - as I said, it's not something I have a fetish for - but the removal of control is very good and can help me find a good submissive head space, in the same way as physical or instructed bondage can. And, it's one of those good-bad sensations that are very much fun to play with.

(OK, that's that over with, back to normal ILX)

Yes, that's what it's like for me. But except for the bit about requesting it.

Abbott (Abbott), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 17:02 (eighteen years ago) link

The last person I didn't get chance to give the health warning to, I was laid on a sofa next to. She tried tickling my toes, and I kicked her in the throat. Not deliberately - my leg just kicked, and her throat was there at the time.

I thought this was going to be an Aimless thread/

i'm probably as ticklish as FP, by the sound of it, but i am the least submissive person i know and FUCKING HATE BEING TICKLED. absolutely loathe it. hate and despise it. even thinking about it makes me feel tickly and unpleasant.

There's something very sexy about being tickled by people you're flirting with. Now, this is probably a very common thing to think, but Forest Pines has still made me feel kind of filthy for posting it.

My girlfriend and I are both extremely ticklish. We often end the day with a ticklefight in bed. I cannot bear being tickled: once put in a tickle headspace, people cannot even touch me for minutes without me shrieking with laughter.

don't know how it happened, but i kicked myself in the face once after being tickled. and yes, being tickled bugs the fuck out of me also.

candice (divifold), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 23:07 (eighteen years ago) link

i've become more ticklish with age and, yes, if somebody tries it i usually go for the head/face.

extremely. also my convulsions look more like breakdancing which is an ENDLESS SOURCE OF AMUSEMENT

This is my experience also. I go into tickle freakout mode and will just lash out all round me. I once almost gave myself whiplash trying to snap my head back to trap tickling fingers.

My least favourite person to get tickles from is my younger brother, who prods more than tickles and has fingers of iron. So, unpleasant tickling sensation in the ribs, followed by pain.

Yes, that's exactly how I behave.

"Ticklish" is such an appropriate adjective. It even sounds ticklish. I believe it is mentally sound to have a case of tickle-itis as it is a logical defence mechanism to prevent being buried alive by an avalanche of feathers.
