Could ticklishness vary depending on the tickler's gender ?

I wonder : could ticklishness vary depending on the tickler's gender ?

I've heard quite a few people say this. It varies and I have to think that the psychology of the Lee is a deciding factor. One straight male Lee might be more ticklish when tickled by women because he feels more wilfully submissive to them, and it makes him more sensitive. Another might feel more ticklish with men because the lack of sexual attraction on the Lee's part makes it feel more unwanted, and therefore makes them feel more vulnerable. It's hard to say exactly what the cause is, but it seems to be a real phenomenon.
 
I’ve been to many play parties, gatherings, etc. and have found that for myself I am generally more ticklish with a male ler than a female. I tend to get very girlish and submissive with men (for the most part) and feel more dominant with women, so that may have something to do with it! There have been two exceptions with very dominant females but overall, more ticklish with men.
 
A lot of the reaction to tickling depends on the 'lees feelings about the 'ler.
 
I think it depends on the skill of the ler and the state of mind the lee is in.
 
There is a direct psychological component in reaction to tickling.

All people have a base level of sensitivity. This is hard wired. It's like height or hair color. It's the card you got debt. It could be not at all sensitive to hyper sensitive.

Then you add in a psychological aspect. As Wolf noted, knowing the Ler can make a huge difference. The connectivity and comfortableness in that allows for greater sensitivity. But a direct gender aspect plays into this also. Greater comfort (or DISCOMFORT) with one gender tickling oneself can change the response, often a lot.

If you think about how you respond to tickling, it's not a bad comparison to think about how you can be brought to orgasm. The person pushing that progress makes a HUGE difference. And it's because we have these big think-y self aware brains.

Myriads
 
Pretty much what Myriads said 🙂 I have sensory processing disorder, which means my brain and nervous system processes things differently. This is part of the reason I am so sensitive to it. It’s also the reason I walked around with a broken arm for 2 weeks and didn’t know it.

I am super sensitive to touch. If I don’t know someone, and they touch me, my body immediately gets defensive and I’m not a happy camper. If I do know someone, and their intent, I’m a giggling mess before they even touch me.

Nothing about the brain is simple 🙂

I’m not sure how my experience with tickling and gender fit in.

As a kid I simply hated being touched under my arms, hate is actually too mild a word. I’d have female relatives try to tickle me, but it didn’t tickle, it was just them holding me down and poking me. (Being held down was another thing I hated) But for some reason I still don’t understand, tickling was fascinating to me then.

As I got older, girlfriends would try it when we were playing, but got little to no reaction. As I got older I wasn’t ticklish at all.

Until... recently I was cuddling on the couch with my wife. Her arms were wrapped around mine, and she moved her hand. I jumped a little and laughed. I pretended to laugh at something an announcer said. The only thought I had was “what was that?”

Eventually it happened again, from time to time she likes laying on my chest to fall asleep. She accidentally got me under the arm again and I laughed.

“Whaaaat?” She said. I couldn’t deny what happened, and I admitted that it tickled.


The other day I was trying to cheer her up, and said “If you don’t smile, I’m going to have to do this the hard way.” She gave me a cute smile, and we joked about how she can fight back now and I better me careful.

For me, having an emotional connection flipped a switch for me. And honestly it’s a lot more fun.
