why we defend ourselves against tickling even when we like it

that during the session you have to tie up

Probably because it's a natural reflex of the body.

There’s one fun lee I have sessions with and she likes her feet tickled. There is NO WAY would she would ever let me anywhere near her feet unless she’s strapped down prior to tickling.

So her session starts by strapping her ankles and knees down first, before I can even touch her sensitive feet for a tickle session. If she’s not strapped down, she’ll never let me touch her and she would run out the door!!! After she’s buckled in though, her cute little feet are getting a bunch of tickling she can’t run away from!!!
