Do people get more ticklish the closer emotionally u get to them?

[nice.1]

I was just wondering this because a while back I had just a friend and after a couple of months of knowing her I found out she wasn't ticklish anywhere except her feet, she described it as she wished she was ticklish somewhere else cause it feels like all the ticklishness went to her feet and rated them as extremely ticklish 10 out of 10 if u want to put a numeric value on them. As time went on we became pretty good friends and I finally had the chance to try out just how ticklish her feet were. When I first tried them I was utterly disappointed expecting roars of laughter and giggling fits in return I got wiggling toes and giggles here or there, not exactly extremely ticklish. So naturally I was disappointed but still I was having feelings for her.....

I'll bring you to current day. We are seeing eachother and are extremely close and now her feet are extremely ticklish and now even her hips and sides are ticklish! Before we were this close I had her legs pined down and tickled her feet for 5 mins straight with the slightest reaction only wiggling her toes and giggling a little. But now that were so close I tried it and she couldn't take it for 1 minute she was laughing, kicking uncontrollably and begging me to stop and even now when I just rub her feet she flinches all the time. It just amazes me of how ticklish she has become maybs still not a 10 but getting close to it

So after this long story my question is has any1 had a similar experience or noticed themselves becoming more ticklish the closer they got to someone or is this just my lucky year? Let me know forum!

Yes, I have had similar experiences as a 'lee. I think it all comes down to trust and being comfortable. Once you let your guard down completely, I think you become more ticklish and even ticklish in areas you didn't think you were. I have always been very ticklish, but found once I started playing with people I developed a friendship with and knew better, or once I was in a comitted relationship, the tickling only became better. I wish you lots more ticklish adventures in your relationship.

Not always. I had the opposite happen once. I was able to tickle this girl when we were just becoming friends during the "flirting" stage. However, once we got close and started dating, she wasn't tickled by me anymore... it really sucked.

I think it greatly depends on the person, because I've seen the situation you (OP) described, and the one StevePerry described. Usually though, I have noticed comfortability heightens ticklishness with time.

Yup, I have always been way more ticklish on the receiving end of girlfriends. Being comfortable around someone is a huge factor for a lot of people and emotional closeness plays a big part in comfort.

very true, a ticklish person being tickled by a stranger would not be as ticklish as if they were being tickled by a spouse partner or close friend

This is something I've wondered about briefly too... it's good to see both sides saying something about it, though. Now I know that's possible, but not a sure fire thing. Comfort level I think has more to do with personal space than just being more ticklish. If it's a stranger, you're not as at ease around them anyway, and tickling means letting all your inhibitions free. If you're guarded, you won't laugh as much around someone anyway.

Thankyou for all the replies and I get the feeling that getting closer to someone can make them more ticklish. More feed back would be welcomed!

Definitely. I'm absurdly ticklish to begin with, so my girlfriend was always able to reduce me to a writhing shrieking mess whenever she felt like it. But ever since we got married the effects of her tickling have been amplified -- which I never would have thought was possible. Her fingertips, or their approach, drive me into basket case territory like never before.

And as it happens I've had the experience of being tickled by someone else -- her sister in some cases, a friend of hers in others -- and while that's enough to send me into helpless giggles and begging, when my wife decides to join in and help torture me, the debilitating, frantic-making effects of her touch are palpably greater. In the side-by-side comparison, my wife's tickling has somehow been imbued with incalculably greater effectiveness. I'm empirically more ticklish when she's the one who decides to tickle me. Which is great for her. It has greatly reduced my negotiating power within the household, though.

I've often found this with myself.

I was more (and sometimes only) ticklish with the person I was dating or with whom I was close friends.

Of course now I am more ticklish than ever so it doesn't seem to have the same effect it did even ten years ago.

But I have seen studies that say just that.

I think as the lee gets more comfortable with the ler they become more ticklish especially if it isn't their fantasy to be tickled. Natural defense causes the ticklee to tense up with ticklers that they don't quite trust with that much body touching. I speak merely from lees that don't have tickling as a fetish though.
