Building Immunity

[chemcutie]

Does anyone know of any ways I can make myself less ticklish? I'm seriously THE most ticklish person I know- people barely even touch me and I'm in a fit of giggles. My boyfriend always uses it against me, too- if he wants information, he knows he's darn well gonna get it because a quick skitter of fingers on my sides turns me to jelly- I just, simply can't be tickled for more than a minute without breaking.

So...what I'm trying to get at, here, is ways to make myself less ticklish. I've tried telling myself over and over in my head that I'm not ticklish, even insisting to others when they try to tickle me that I'm not, but nothing seems to work.

Please help! 🙂

the expensive route is hypno-therapy. other than that, i don't know of any fool-proof way to to less ticklish. some people grow out of it. for others, it never diminishes.

if you don't like it, let the boyfriend know. or, at least, ask him to tone it down.

I offer intensive therapy services that would require strapping you down and tickling you mercilessly for hours everyday. First session is on the house.

Method 11236 is not responsible for cardiac arrest, insanity, or nervous twitches developed as a result of treatment. All payments are final, please contact your physican before starting treatment.

Although no doubt this advice was given in jest, this is the closest thing I've seen to what I believe would work. You'd need somebody you can trust, but it would involve him/her spending a lot of time on a daily basis, touching your ticklish areas in a way that doesn't tickle them, so that these areas can become accustomed to being touched and not send so many alarms. Desensitization. I've actually done this for a girl I knew back in the eighties.

Hmm, sounds like a good idea, but I'd probably be too scared to try it, ha ha.

I actually did the same thing with one of my cousins.

She was deathly ticklish as a child and teenager. Today she´s almost imune to it. We could desensitize the rest of her but now she would like to be more sensitive hehehehhe

So be careful, if you go this way, you might want to turn back and be unable to do it.

Another advice when desensitizing, tickle yourself!!!!! as muchs as you can!!!! I did this on my feet when I was young and worked wonders till this day (now I´m also not happy on what I did). What I did was to sit indian stile and then tickle both my barefeet as much as I could for some minutes before going to bed, if you do this every day your body will start to learn there´s nothing about being touched there. Some people here with more knowledge on brain power could explain better how this works. Basically you get your boddy so used to a feelling that the boddy will shut down the warnings about it.

Best of luck!

Check out the trust building described by Paul Carter. If you do a search in the TMF archives you'll find it.

To lessen a ticklish sensation, I've tried screaming. I thought screaming would stop the tickling because someone might hear us. I was wrong. It just alerts the tickler that he has discovered a really ticklish spot on my body.
I haven't found a way to build immunity to tickling.

you just simply have to grow out of it and let yourself enjoy it..i would recommend letting yourself enjoying it because it actually feels good when youre still ticklish..this way you build a tolerance to make yourself less ticklish..you dont think about it..for me im like the exact opposite of you..my ticklishness practically completely wore off of me over the years..i can still make myself ticklish but its kind of hard..i miss enjoying being tickled..it feels good

 

[huskys]

I doubt that there is a way if your as ticklish as you say.
Not that I can see a problem with that!!!

Find someone you trust and have them tickle the hell out of you.

You're SO in the wrong site to ask that kind of question, lol.

I agree with what method said. But to make it more permanent, make sure there is a camera recording every second of it...it'll be a good psychological reminder.

Don't know about this one.... Sounds to me like some kind of a trap!!

Very, very good to know! 😉

I'd suggest having a serious talk with the boyfriend... and if he doesn't get it, just keep telling him again and again. It's not fair for him to do that, especially if you can't return the favor. ^_~
