Can This happpen from tickling?

Not that this has happened. But I am curious.

If you are always tickled by the same people say, can your body become use to there touch and famaliar to it. Where it tickles but not that much?

Then ay you get tickled by some new people or another grup of people that has never tickled you before, Would you laugh and go nuts doue to a new touch and their touch and technique?

I've actually found the opposite to be true. Usually, the first time someone new tickles me, there's some fumbling and clumsiness while they try to figure out what works best. It takes time and experience to find all of a person's ticklish places, and what kind of touch tickles most.

Thinking of all the people I've played with, at gatherings, or in private... they've only gotten better with time. 🙂

My opinion is that there are many factors that contribute to ticklishness. One of the biggest amplifiers of ticklishness in my opinion is the uncertainty principle. When you can't anticipate what area will be attacked or to what severity, it hightens the sense of vulnerability and magnifies the impact of the tickling. That's why a lot of ticklers like their victims to wear blindfolds. If the same person tickles you every day, you're body will become accustomed to that particular touch, and become better prepared to receive and process it.

That's one reason I prefer to be tickled by those to whose touch I'm not accustomed, to experience a deeper and more meaningful level of torture.

I agree with Linda Hopper that people who tickle you repeatedly learn your most ticklish spots and the most effective way to tickle you resulting in their tickling being more ticklish than that by new ticklers.

I'm with LindyHopper... it only gets better as the ler gets more experienced with what "makes you tick".

Anyone can have ticklish areas that desensitize or become less ticklish during a "session". But, whether you're with a tickler who knows you or not, I'd think, they'd want to move around to a new spot in order to keep you giggling. Isn't that the joy in it for both of you? And, everyone's technique is different. Some will work better on one than another....i.e. hard vs soft tickles, feathers vs fingertips, etc. Can one 'ler be great for every 'lee? Doubtful, since we are so individual but we can sure have fun in the process.

I have found that in group settings, there's just too many spots to be thinking about all at once so, I become overwhelmed. Thus, the joy of gatherings.

I agree with Lindy and kitten. It gets better with time. For me, my body has to get acquainted with a person's touch for the laughter and other "benefits" to really kick in.

I have to agree with Lyndy , kitten , and crydun .

 

[TickleMeMya]

I agree with those above who think that they get more ticklish with familiar people. Usually I am not so ticklish with someone entirely new, but if it's someone I am familiar with, and especially with good friends, I'm very ticklish. If it's a significant other, ooooooh boy, s/he just had to look at me ticklishly for me to be tickled. And yes, I have said "mercy" without a finger laid on me! OHAHAHA!!!

It doesn't necessarily have to do with the fact that the 'ler knows my spots more effectively, but that I have an affection for the person make me more sensitive overall.
