Mmm~ chemicals do different things to different people. Well, they generally do the same thing~ but perspective of those chemicals are what differs between people. Tickling releases a lot of endorphins. There's a rush depending on the context. ^_^ I could say in itself, tickling can be pretty stressful in itself! (Tickle fight! XD)

...but I think any bonding done in a fun way where you're safe, and can actually "progress" your emotions can be stress relieving. I've tickled publicly~ with complete strangers at parties out of the blue, and due to the already good moods floating around a person can go from "Oh no~ I'm being tickled to..." ~ "Well... it's okay, I like it." X3 Without shame~

I think when you have the space, respect and time to deal with any kind of emotional transition, there is release. Sexual or not~ It's like the transition from being stressed on a job, and the relief of being done. You need that good flow from one state of mind to the other for it to ever be called "relief", and it can be instant, or take a few minutes...

Either way I'll tickle them till it happens~! X3 Nyehehe! (Jk, sorta.)

I remember a forum thread on another forum about whether or not being tied up and tickled was a stress reliever. I personally find it as a stress reliever and something that just makes me happy (the smiling happy, not the.... other happy, geez!)

In the other forum, one person did bring up how he likes it because it's a break from the normal day to day routine. I agreed with that idea even moreso! A vast majority of people have a pretty set schedule in general, wake up, get ready, go to work/school, come home, do things around the house or do more work that you need to do, whatever. Getting tickled or tied up is definitely something that really breaks that routine which I enjoy!

As a stress reliever, though, it's great at that too!

Well, it can certainly relieve some things!

I think it can be a huge stress reliever. 😀

Indeed...now put your feet up here and...

I think it can be a huge stress reliever. 😀

let's get to stress relieving😀

It can definitely be a huge stress reliever. But it can also annoy me if I'm having a super bad day. So I can go both ways with this - just depends on my mindset really. Usually though, I'm game. 😛

Depends. If I'm stressed and in the middle of something that requires my attention, pokes and prods are going to irritate the bejeezus outta me in a bad way.

If I'm sad/depressed, an all-out session with bondage is ONE HELL of a stress-reliever!

Tickling, like anything, can become addictive. I find the rush addictive and when I go long periods of time without said rush I do feel stressed and being tickled at this point will put that stress at bay.

The action itself probably doesnt actually relieve stress, although maybe the release of happy chemicals inside the body and the arouseal etc might.

Its abit like smoking, that doesnt relieve stress but it does relieve a smokers craving for a cigarette which is often mistaken for normal day to day stress.

When I'm stressed I don't want to be tickled. It would just make me mad.

 

[luvgirlsfeet]

It does help me yes as well as listening to music from the 50's to the 80's

 

[MrTicklee]

Put simply...yes!

 

[mbt70]

[milagros317]

Yes, being tickled relieves stress for me. 😀

I'm hoping it will be

I definitely think it can be a relief from the stresses of the everyday. Obviously mindset is key, but if you give in to the sensations it definitely can help 🙂

 

[Knox The Hatter]

I'm a firm believer that it does indeed relieve stress.

 

[ticklishfeetnyc]

I would say personally for me yes. It makes me feel good. Esp. when my wife tickles my feet. I know it relieves stress for her to because she enjoys it when she drives me crazy and deep down I think she likes to do it for all the times I may drive her crazy LOL

 

[Sunriseticklee]

It depends on the kind of stress. If I'm stressed because I'm behind on something and I have to get it done, I don't want tickles. (After I finish it, I do.)

There have been times when I had a really bad day, and I get him and say, "My day sucked, please torture me!"

But every once in awhile when my day is just awful, I just go straight to bed.
