torture as a sensual thing is just a wet fantasy
torture was/is meant to punish, humiliate, interrogate
it is sensual only in sexual foreplays and porn
i read it was used to punish nuns
maybe it was just porn fiction
not only too far
also too common
if it were everyday occurrance it would lose charm quickly
plus not everybody is ticklish so you couldnt base society on something as unpredictable as ticklishness
we wouldnt notice if it were the norm
it would be like talking
or it would be like being deaf and blind
youd have to touch everything and youd have to rely on feeling things and people to perceive them
