Just curious about your experience with this. I think a lot of people -- "vanillas," I guess, who don't get tickled all the time or spend a lot of time tickling or watching a wide variety of people being tickled -- are really bad at estimating their own ticklishness. And I think it tends to work both ways -- you have a lot of people claiming they're not very ticklish, then going nuts when they're actually tickled, and then at least as many who claim to be "the most ticklish people ever" who probably aren't, when it comes down to it. Maybe they haven't been tickled in a long time, and assume they're not ticklish because of that. Maybe they just had a pedicure and it tickled enough to convince them that they're unbearably ticklish. As a straight guy, I've known a lot of women who've been really bad at estimating their own ticklishness, and I assume guys are likely the same way.
I'm not really making a point here. More just making an observation -- I wonder if many people really have no idea how ticklish (or not) they are at all?
