Usually in, my experience, whenever the subject of tickling comes up in conversation anyone who is ticklish seems to get the giggles and attempts to cover some exposed areas.
Thank you for posting this Sunnie. I've often wondered about this and hearing thoughts from someone that I admire and trust means a lot. I think that others have probably had questions about the spankings and tickling as well and this should help relieve there fears. I know it has relieved mine...
