ok I've posted this topic twice before, but not in the past 5 years, so I thought I'd try again...I tried to make a 1-10 ticklishness scale based on things that a person could or could not handle having done to their feet. It would be cool if we as a community had a standard scale, but that could be tricky...let me know your thoughts, and if you have a different scale....it does seem like if you ask people where they are 1-10 they have an answer...is this a good guide to measure?
1 will giggle if aggressively tickled with an electronic device like a spinning brush, but scribbling fingers does nothing, can get toes sucked with no problem, pedicures are not an issue, neither are the most aggressive or light massages. They find all that relaxing.
2. can handle foot rubs no problem, can get their toes sucked, if you tickle feet with fingers, they will not react, , if you scrub their feet with a brush or tool, electric or not, they will giggle mildly too.
3. you can rub their feet, even try to tickle them with your fingers, but you might get a flinch, but you can’t make them laugh or giggle with just that. Like a 2, a parts of a pedicure may make them snicker, as would an electric foot buffer to the soles…also if you try to give their feet mouth love, you might get some snickers and wiggles, but they can handle it for a long time.
4. ditto to everything lower, now if you grab this person’s ankle and scribble they will pull their feet away a little and it would make them giggle, but you could continue with this for several minutes with no problem…the second you get back to just massaging, the laughter stops…they are the type that could carry on a convo as you are trying your best to get them hysterically laughing with your fingers, whatever you try, isn’t going to phase them more than a giggle.
5. ok this person can do foot rubs, they like them a lot, but if you hit just the right spot on their foot, you may get some resistance. They should be ok with a foot massage most of the time, but if they are in a giggly mood, you might get some snickers out of them.
6. try anything extremely aggressive with them like sitting on their ankles and scrubbing them with a brush, and you will get a good strong laugh out of them…nothing desperate, but they’ll be ticklish to it and stay that way…they’ll need you to stop if it goes too long. If you decide to suck their toes, you may have quite a squirmer, but if they don’t mind having some giggles, they can do it without to much of a problem, if you try to tickle their feet with your fingers, you’ll have a consistant, but quiet laugh…one that you could tickle for a while without disturbing neighbors. if you try to make a foot massage tickly, they will giggle, otherwise there may be a spot or 2 on their foot that you’ll get a chuckle, but it’s still fun for them. You may also get a nervous pull away of the foot if you hold their foot in a non threatening way.
7: they’ll go nuts if you use an aggressive tool on them, they squirm a little and laugh during pedicures during most of it, they can’t take toe sucking for too long, grab their feet and dig in their soles and you will have a bucking bronco with a nice loud laugh, would need you to stop after 10’s of seconds, giving them a massage, especially with lotions, you’ll have a giggly squirmer, but if you do it just right, they will probably be ok…but you have to be extra careful…or not. If they went to a doctor and he was looking at her feet, just holding it, she may get a little nervous too..might even pull away.
8: they would need to be restrained and or tricked in order for you to use any kind of tool on them…unless they really are into it. They will go nuts, they also are the type that totally embarrass themselves during pedicures by laughing, shrieking and covering their face, if you want to suck their toes to be sexy or romantic, forget it, they won’t be able to focus, but if you want to do it to get them going crazy, hold on tight. Sit on their ankles or restrain them if you choose to tickle them with your fingers cause you will get loud laughs, possibly screams and begs to stop. Certain massage techniques they wouldn’t be able to handle without laughing…if they don’t like being tickled, they may even tell the masseuse to avoid the area all together.
9: If you do anything to purposely tickle their feet with anything you will get mostly screams…they would cause a scene, they choose not to get pedicures specifically for the reason that they can’t take it, and would warn anyone who asked to suck their toes or give them a foot massage to please not to for their own safety, they also would cause a huge scene in brookstone if they tried any of the massagers, they would even be nervous and giggly if someone tried to paint their toenails, but they’d let them…but with caution.
10: screams and hystarical if you tickle them….they would shriek even if you go to tickle their feet…the type that’s ticklish before even being touched…they hide their feet because they are afraid someone might accidently tickle them…it’s a real problem for them, could even cause anxiety in every day life. The type that wouldn’t even be fun to tickle for some unfortunately because you couldn’t take their screaming for long…unless you’re into that.
