I love that researchers are still doing studies on tickling. This paper, published just last month, is a study done in a university in Norway, where a bunch of college-aged volunteers were tickled by feathers all over their bodies while wearing swimsuits/bikinis (hilarious, and kinda hot tbh!).

The researchers found that females laughed more than males, and people in general feel more ticklish with the opposite sex tickling them, highlighting the sociocultural nature of reactions to tickling.

They also produced the following map of ticklish areas: sjop12756-fig-0001-m.jpg

What do y'all think?
 
haha these are the universities I am constantly trying to volunteer as a research subject for hahahaha
 
Awesome article, thanks for posting! Would love to see the video footage of all the subjects being tickled (for scientific purposes of course)

Unfortunately they stated that they deleted the videos for privacy concerns, but I like to think that this study was initiated by a tickle fetishist who secretly kept the videos ;)
 
Interesting, I'd say those are accurate locations for everyone. I'm not surprised that woman laugh more. I mean you look at the tickle content as a whole as far as vids, I do think that females dominate it.

Yeah, funny on the recorded and deleted side of things. Somebody definitely has those, lol.
 
My thoughts? Is there a TL;DR version? My eyes are falling out lately.
 
The project I picked for my Experimental Psychology Class was Is it possible to tickle yourself. There are a ton of education videos and research online.
