Does being tied up make you more ticklish?

[TangerineTicklee]

I've never been bound and tickled, but I do (imagine) that it would heighten my ticklishness. All the times that I was (seemingly) less ticklish were where I could wriggle away, but all the times that I was unable to escape the sensations, it tickled far more. I went from 6 to an 8. This was in the past and my ticklishness varies.

On a good day - 8.
On an "okay" day - 6.
On a bad day - 4.

Hi OrangVibe thanks for your reply. The level of ticklishness seems to be as much psychological as anything else with so many people. Even to the point where having a good understanding of this would mean that you can control your level of ticklishness by the way you are thinking about it. Just out of interest, you say that there are some days when you are only a 4, can you remember what it was that made you less ticklish than normal? I mean was your mind on something else or were you nervous etc?

The thing that made me less ticklish than normal is when I become severely depressed. I get that way on occasion. Then again ... there are times when I'm very depressed and still super ticklish, so sometimes it doesn't always correlate with psychology. Very strange indeed.

But then again, I'm not a neurotypical, so the fact that I have differently structure nerve wiring - in the brain - my body may not respond to tickling and sensitivity like your normal person?

Of this I am not certain.

Yes, it definitely does make me more ticklish....I think it's the feeling of helplessness...being exposed and vulnerable that makes the difference... 🙂

Oh sorry to hear that you suffer with depression, everyone goes through unhappy times now and then but I know that depression is a completely different thing because it can be caused by a chemical imbalance in your body as oppose to a situation that you can get over... This might sound like a silly question but have you ever found that being tickled helps? I am asking because laughter releases endorphins and this is supposed to help with stress and depression etc. I don't think being tickled could help someone who didn't have a fetish for it though 🙂

Hi impaler, so many people say the same thing. My gf loves being tied and tickled because she likes the feeling of being helpless and vulnerable. And she feels that she can trust me at the same time which gives her conflicting emotions and that is what she gets off on 🙂 thanks for your input mate.

It's okay. I'm actually not sure if it's depression or if it's some form of mania. It does definitely have a huge impact on my life. With what little information I have done, however, I believe my depression is most definitely a chemical imbalance, either in my ovaries, or somewhere else in my endocrine system. I also have some other weird health issues that correlate with my severe mood swings and frequently depressed state.

I have found that tickling only helps sometimes. It depends on what I'm upset over and who's doing the tickling. If I'm upset over something extremely personal and deeply rooted, tickling would (most-likely) bother me, but if I'm upset over something about my body or otherwise less important, then it does make me feel much better, if it's by someone that I enjoy receiving it from. 🙂 (It sometimes also arouses me and ... further actions henceforth will definitely make me feel better.) 😀

Well I hope you are able to sort the depression out in time OrangeVibe, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I can sure as hell relate to the arousal part (from a ler's perspective) and I always feel on top of the world after 🙂
