Acupuncture (school)

[YouNeverKnow175]

So the other day my acupuncturist mentioned that in acupuncture school they'd get put on the spot a lot and have to know all the meridians in the body, and sometimes a teacher would ask someone to lie down and another person to trace all the meridian lines throughout their body. I'm thinking, "that would tickle like crazy!" and getting exciting but was too shy to ask if it tickled people. Anyone here been to acupuncture school or heard any stories?

Or just have any acupuncture appointment stories? It's been pretty ticklish for me a few times while he looks for just the right spot, moving his hands around a certain area (knee, stomach, foot). Really hard to hold in...and I get embarrassed (I'm more of a ler) so don't want to show it's tickling. He did ask the other day "are you ticklish?" because my stomach was automatically flinching...

If he asked if you're ticklish

What did you say?

LOL Aw, just relax and enjoy it! 😉

What did you say?

I said "a little bit"...which is somewhat true, because in most spots I'm not all that bad, but what he was doing was pretty intense...

Not with acupuncture, but with the chiropractor. There is one spot in my back that's pretty ticklish. She's apologized when she's hit it, but I don't make an issue of it, just say I'd rather it tickled than hurt. Tickled I can deal with.
I think I might have let something slip one time when leading me to the table she said, "I don't mean to torture you, but you know it's for your own good." I replied without thinking, "Wouldn't a dominatrix say the same thing?" She laughed, but I let it go after that and didn't pursue the image.
