Every now and then I have a tickle session with a female friend of mine. (I'm the ler, she's the lee. Actually she tries to tickle me but never succeeds.) But anyway, she has always been and still is extremely ticklish under the arms, she just laughs her head off as soon as I start tickling her there. She is also very ticklish on her sides a little further down. But in the last few months, she has stopped being ticklish in other areas where she used to be ticklish, such as her belly, above her knees, and (although they were never always ticklish) her feet. She says she thinks that this is because she has been tickled so much (by me and others) lately that she has built resistance to being tickled, except in her armpits and just below, where she is too ticklish to ever be able to resist.
What do the tickle experts of the TMF think of this theory? Anyone agree through first-hand experience, either as lee or ler (or both)?
