sometimes it DOES make me way more ticklish to be tied up! sometimes, especially if stretched and really immobile and blindfolded, or face down, so i can't see or tell what's gonna happen next or stop it at all,...it makes every little slight touch or even breath magnified. if someone gets into my head about the fact that i can't get out of this predicament, and i get going, then it's a slippery slope and it's hard to get myself out of the hole of being super ticklish.
however...sometimes...i am more ticklish when NOT restrained. like in 'the chase'...when the adrenaline kicks in and you HAVE to stop them...the fight or flight reflex. if they get you laughing before even touching you, and you are trying hard to protect yourself, and it's a false hope that you will be able to, ..but it never works...sometimes THAT gets me into that space where i slip down that slope too...
so....it depends...
Hi xtrmlytcklsh23, thanks for your reply. I think you make a very good point there because I have known a few lee's to be more ticklish when they can't actually see the tickling because they can't prepare themselves for it. As a ler I would say I prefer to tickle someone when they are restrained because it means I can focus more on the tickling than holding the lee still but either way, I love it
🙂
It definatley depends. Everybodys different in those kind of scenarios. I've yet to be restrained properly during a tickle session but I certainly notice a heightning of my ticklishness when a friend physically restrains and tickles me.
When i'm free and flailing around I feel less helpless in my predicament so I'm more focused on escape than the actual tickling sensation. When someone's got hold of my arms or ankles and then the tickling begins I find myself focusing soley on the feeling of being tickled because I really can't get away and my body knows that lol.
Oh, and I totally agree with this!
Thanks for replying deadlywiffeathr. I agree it definitely varies from person to person. My girl had been tickled before but she is the same as you in the sense that she had never been properly restrained and tickled. She thought she was pretty ticklish but when she let me tie her up for the first time she was surprised at just how ticklish she was when there was nothing she could do to stop it
😉. What are your thoughts on being properly restrained and tickled? Do you think you would enjoy it?
I think the more vunerable I feel, the more something is going to tickle. Being restrained somehow, whether it's with ropes or cuffs or even by sheer manpower, I think would make me more sensitive as to what sensations are going on with my body. I wouldn't have to worry about fighting back so the focus would be on the tickling.
Thanks for your reply Angel, you are a ler's dream!
🙂
Yes, when I am restrained the sensation of tickle becomes overwhelming to me. My bare soles and toes become even more feather-sensitive when I am tied down. I suppose once my mind determines that I cannot escape, I become even more sensitive to the feather stroking.
Hi myfeetrsweet thanks for replying, it is always good to find a lee that reacts to being tickled with a feather because normally they don't seem to be a very good tickling tool in my experience. That said, I like trying a feather at the start of a session sometimes because you know that a lee that has a good reaction to a feather will go insane when you use fingers
🙂
No, but since I'm 6'2" and rather strong I need to be tied up lest I overpower my tickler. It happens.
Cheers for the reply Maestro1874 and fair play to you.
If I'm not restrained (unless I'm in a really defiant mood and refusing to respond), I fight like mad. Even though I love being tickled, I generally can't help it...esp. if the ler is doing a good job. I've actually hurt people on several occassions. So, if I'm not restrained, the distraction of trying to hold back enough to not hurt anyone gets in the way of things. If I'm restrained, I can let go and simply enjoy it without having to worry about it. Of course, the knowledge that I couldn't get away even if I wanted to does add to things as well. That thought used to freak me out. But, if I trust the person enough to allow them to restrain me, then it's not an issue.
A dangerous lee! What fascinates me so much is that what goes though a lee's mind has such a massive effect on the way they react to being tickled. On that note maybe it could be possible for someone who is really ticklish to change the way they are thinking to become not ticklish or vice versa. just a thought. Thanks for the reply TKlDuo-Ann
Yes, of course, i'm MOST more ticklish when tied up.
Hi Cercatore thanks for replying, would you say that this is because you are thinking about being tickled differently to the way you would if you were not tied? I mean I understand that you would be feeling more vulnerable and so on and most of the replies so far would indicate that your level of ticklishness is determined by what you are thinking...
Yes for me! The times my wife has occasionally tickled me I was less respondant but the few times she has tied me up and tickled my underarms, stomach and feet I went crazy!
Cheers for the reply osco89, I started this thread because I have recently found someone who is much more ticklish when she is tied and most people have given a similar answer to you. The level of a persons ticklishness seems to be determined just as much in the mind as physical, maybe even more. what do you reckon?
but im sure it was worth it for ya!
