part 2:
What happens when we are tickled is explained by Dr. Michaela Krause, she's a neurologist and knows about tickling and the reactions of the human body.
What happens exactly with our body when we are tickled?
If someone gets close to tickle us, our brain evaluates it as an attack.
The body tension increases abruptly as a defense. When we realises that we're just tickled and not attacked, our brain sends an all-clear-signal, we feel relieved.
This relieve is pleasant for us, we start to laugh.
We're especially ticklish on spots we don't get touched often.
Like the armpits, waist, back of the knees and under our feet.
That's because there are so many neuro-receptors (?), that send the touch to the brain.
Interview:
Guy: What about people we don't like? It seems to be not working? Why not?
Dr. K: It doesn't work, because we evaluate the person as unappealing, our emotions stay alerted because it could be an attack.
Part3:
So, tickling won't work on people we don't know or don't like, because it's evaluated as an attack, so we don't feel relieved and don't laugh. I guess I have to test it
to the 2 girls: We're doing a little experiment, is it ok if I try it with you?
*trys to tickle them*
It wasn't funny? And it didn't tickle?
Girl: No, not at all
Guy: Are you ticklish ?
Girl: yes, usually I am.
guy tickled: Am I supposed to laugh? or what?
guy: was it ticklish for you?
guy tickled: no, I don't like being tickled by strangers.
guy: ok? why? It's not funny? you don't have to laugh?
guy tickled: no it's not funny.
guy: are you ticklish?
guy tickled: it depends who's tickling me.
guy: aha. maybe when your wife's doing it?
guy tickled: probably yes
guy: not when I'm doing it?
guy tickled: no, no...
guy: it didn't work..
guy tickled: no, we won't get together
eva (blonde): While Kimme's going for body contact with other men, I am searching for a completely different tickle-expert. Frank Zanke works at the medieval prisons in Nuremberg. 600 years ago, people were captivated here to their death penalty and criminals were tortured for confessions.
