Consensus on Nylon Tickling.

[ticklehound]

I come up with a bunch of thoughts at random times, usually questions I'd like to discuss here. I try to remember to post them but I forget before I get to a computer. Getting old sucks...

Anyway, I was wondering if we've reach the point where we can FINALLY come to a consensus about an age-old tickling myth: Does wearing nylon socks or stockings make your feet MORE or LESS ticklish?

I get the sense there are strong opinions on both sides. But ever since I've joined the community, I'm seeing mixed accounts. I've seen stories that detail how nylons enhance the tickling sensations; AND I've seen nylon tickling videos where mid-way through, they rip the nylons off and tickle the bare feet, with more ticklish reactions.

I'll hold my opinion til the end, but I find it interesting how there's no clear answer (as best as I can ascertain).

How about we get to the consensus that it is different for everybody? 🙂

It definitely depends on the person, it's not really an "opinion" matter =/ Nylon makes my feet way more ticklish, but I know some people that it doesn't work on.

I use pantyhose quite a bit in My tickling scenes and have found them to be quite effective! It always boils down to how vulnerable the victim will allow themselves to be.

It makes me more ticklish.

Really? Hmm, call me weird, but I never thought of it really being so subjective. I don't wanna over-analyse as it'll take the fun out of it. But I'm a scientist, I can't help it. If anything is between my fingers and her bare feet, I would think it would dampen the tickling sensations. So I was just wondering if there is something unique about nylons that makes your feet more ticklish.

Maybe it's the shoes? I know my feet are more ticklish after I've been wearing shoes for a while. Maybe it's the warmth? Warm feet are more ticklish IMO. Maybe it's psychological? Setting the mood and getting in the right frame of mind is SO important when we play.

This is what happens when I'm bored and drunk late at night. I think about stuff like this. It's a gift, and a curse . . . and it messes up my sleep.

If it actually does work, then because the fabric reduces the friction. It's the same effect as baby-oil.

I've always like to think that nylons make a gal waaaay more ticklish! 😛 But in real life I'm thinking it could depend on the type of nylons. The ones that are heaver duty seem to have a "vibration" effect when you run your fingernail across the foot. Could be my imagination, but hey, I'll take any increase in ticklishness I can get!

I think it's a good lead in to bare. Stryker does a good job of this stuff as does nylon.

The thicker they are, the less ticklish they make. The really really thin one kinda work for me, but I wouldn't say for sure they make more ticklish.

This... Again? Really?

Take a chill-pill Jagermeistered! Not everyone reads every single post from the very beginning! Last year when my laptop broke, I was without for about 6 months. I didn't visit this site that whole time. When I finally got a new laptop, then I came back and only read a few days prior to then. So, I'm sure I missed lots of interesting posts, but oh well. If I repeat something, I would expect some leniency. Hopefully, you were just being funny....

I'm quite new to tickling and I've only ever been tickled for a minute or so at a time, I wear nylons a lot but I wouldn't say that they make my feet any more or less ticklish, they both tickle a lot! lol

So I'd vote in the middle, but there's no button for that 😛
