baths and their impact upon ticklishness

[Kantian Ethics]

Will a bath increase or diminish ticklishness ? Or will it simply have no significant impact ?

Just consider the case of lee who had a bath a few minutes before a tickling session.

I think it would actually make me more ticklish. A warm bath improves blood circulation. Better blood circulation means that the skin is more sensitive. Just like warm feet are more ticklish than cold feet.

So we should tickle in the bath? I can do that!

How about the shower?

Jacuzzi?

A hot bath should increase circulation to the skin surface and increase ticklishness. 😀 A cold bath should do the opposite. 🙁

I'm much more sensitive after I've been in hot water.

yeah defo, I had a session straight out of a bath once and it was crazy!!! My feet are usually a pretty crap place to tickle but this was instant electic!!

 

[tommytikl]

AFTER the bath, yes things are usually more ticklish; But while IN the bath, I think the water blocks or diminishes the ticklishness. Just my experience...

Hey, you tickle where you want to...

I'm gonna have to be the naysayer here, but it's really all subjective anyway. I find tickling freshly bathed flesh to be, well, creepy. I find it to be lukewarm and clammy to the touch. I also can't stand the smell of soap. (I shower daily, but the smell of it outside of washing, say, before a tickling, is a turnoff.)

I prefer scented lotions and oils, and enjoy applying them. No, I don't want the flesh to be dirty. I want it just neutral: not freshly washed OR funky.

Agreed.

 

[SilverHealer84]

Definitely after I've been in the bath/shower. Hubby loves to go after my feet after I have a shower, and the sensation is definitely tripled!

 

[prestidigits]

I'm seriously beginning to envy your husband!

Well I can say that I know for a fact and from personal experience that baths or showers before a major tickle session works wonders, works like a total charm! Oh and especially jacuzzis and then a nice relaxing hot or cool warm shower, it works great!! Then afterwards you are really relaxed and able to unwind and chill-you got to remember your nerve endings are really sensitive after a bath, or shower, especially jacuzzi. Least this is what I have found to be true. I remember a few times getting tickled by hubby after a bath/shower, especially jacuzzi- man was I ever so sensitive and even more intensely ticklish afterwards. It definitely heightened my ticklishness!! So yeah baths/showers, jacuzzis definitely great to help one prepare beforehand to get tickled. It has worked like a charm for me...got to love baths, showers, or bubbling jacuzzis, love it!!!

Well from what I've noticed, if you bathe and then are IMMEDIATELY tickled while your skin still has dampness, it won't tickle as much due to...dampness. XD. But like...waiting about an hour after the bath and letting your skin maintain the warmness of the bath, that could be a major effector.

 

[chuckle]

two thinks are important to me before gettin involved with tickling and gettin tickled by a friend of mine. A "bath or hot shower" and some body lotion after the bath/shower...

and believe me it certainly has an impact on ticklishness. 😉

 

[prestidigits]

The body lotion would have to be a good touch!

 

[Tissueboy]

I don't know about baths personally, (haven't had one in years unfortunately) but I know I feel a lot more ticklish just after a shower. And I'm pretty sure women generally are too.

You're right to stress on that point. To tell the truth, that's exactly what I was about to write ! To sum up the two crucial factors that give baths/showers a "tickle utility", we must consider:

-the time elapsed between the taking of the bath and the tickling session
(let the tickler wait about half an hour or more before starting the tickling)
-the temperature of the water (the hotter it is, the more the tickling inflicted on the lee will be efficient)

Anyone see other factors ?

To add onto this, it should be stated that the atmosphere you enter after the bath/shower is important. If you have a hot bath, but then enter a cold bedroom, you're not going to feel the effects of the bath. Make sure that the water isn't TOO hot for the sake of this, and make sure that the room you enter has high enough of a warmness/humidity.

Well yeah that makes sense thanks for sharing and pointing this fact out, I did not think about it, but yeah if you walk into a room after a steamy hot shower and the bedroom or room is very cool and not very warm, not going to be comfortable. So yeah you are right, very important that the room or bedroom be warm and comfortable to avoid chill and to help a lee be comfy.
Good point!! Oh yeah it makes sense, needs time for the lee to absorb the heat and moisture from the hot shower and let the skin become not wet and not clammy just from shower....

But I know from experience it be 15-20 mins later, to 45 mins to a hour or half hour later after a nice relaxing hot bath or hot shower, or better yet a sizzling jacuzzi either w/out lotion or scented moisturizer or better-best yet-scented moisturizer or yummy scented lotion-or scented /or flavored body oil-definitely going to add a element of spice and zest to the tickle session-(experienced this w hubby) and it is going to definitely make you even more sensitive and even more hyper ticklish, always has worked like a charm for me.

Try doing this during winter time, wearing a nice velvet pant outfit and then after hot shower or bath or jacuzzi, then be tickled later on afterwards-makes you very sensitive skin wise and makes you very ticklish, worked like a charm for me. 😀
