Less ticklish when ageing?

[serwer0000]

Hi all. I've been following the forum for many years now but I've never posted, so hello everybody. The time has come though to ask for your experience, advice or observations.

My wife is not really into tickling but she likes when I play with her feet. What is bothering me lately is that although she never was really ticklish, there was at least some reaction. For some time now even that is gone. Did you observe to become less ticklish over age? Or might it be some other thing, like permanent tiredness? Couple of years ago I could get some reaction, especially in the morning but it's gone now - and I'd really like to get it back

Thank you for all the advice and shared experience

I think it depends on the person. My friend is 70 and still very ticklish, I'm in my 50s and have gotten less sensitive. Try putting lotion on your wife before trying to tickle her. If you can get away with it, you could try running a hairbrush down her soles after the lotion.

Lotion/cream/anything similar doesn't increase fingers sensitivity but I've never tried more... dramatic means I thought about that of course, some day will see if that changes anything. Thank you

My feet were more ticklish when I was a kid, but some areas, like my back and thighs, are more ticklish now as an adult. Very weird!

I guess I’m lucky….the older my wife gets, the more ticklish her feet have become. She’s almost 60 and it’s gotten better!

My wife is the opposite, as we've aged she admittedly has gotten quite a bit more ticklish!! I've noticed it in her reactions, but it's to the point that she even mentioned how her feet have become much more sensitive.

Maybe the larger issue is taking care of your feet? Calluses etc. Now as far as other areas are concerned, I think this is a valid question.

Probably depends on the person. I went from being a very ticklish kid to a hyperticklish adult and it feels like it's getting worse every year

Thanks for all the replies. I guess I'm just unlucky in this area

Try the brush on her feet after putting lotion on them! If that works, try your fingers after that. Sometimes, once you get someone laughing, they are more sensitive.

Tried it eventually, still no luck. It's curious what happened as she used to be more sensitive couple of years ago. This has its perks of course but it would be nice to get some reaction

My body has become more sensitive with age.

The changes are mind boggling to me, to say the least.

Definitely not the case for me. If anything it’s made me even more sensitive to it. I didn’t think that was possible
