Does having a bit extra weight make one less ticklish?

[Onlyfornow]

When I had a bit less body fat, I remember myself being much more ticklish. I also find that I am more ticklish on areas that are less fatty. Does fat actually decrease the intensity of tickling? If so, I'm going on a diet <_<.

It probably depends on the individual, but for me any weight I've gained while growing up has not hindered my ticklishness at all.

I think for certain types of tickling it probably does. For places that require pinching and prodding like your ribs or your thighs body fat might get in the way. But for areas were stroking is used like your neck or your soles I don't think it would matter.

/\ funny, you're a funny guy 😀

Anyway, I'm a little on the chubby side (stand 5'9 and weigh in at 188 lbs) and I'm quite ticklish. I agree with what the others said though, it depends on the person really.

Franjelico's, by chance? (the bottle kinda looks like Aunt Jemima and the contents are sinfully delicious)

It has far less to do with weight or body mass than you'd think. It's far more about personal perception and sensitivity. I've known a good many fuller figured women that I could reduce to hysterics by simply skritching their sides or middles with my fingertips (in a manner comparable to how I'd tickle their feet), or other areas that were suggested as being more 'pinch or prod necessary' to evoke response. True....how a 'ler approaches and applies can make all the difference, but if the sensitivity value ain't there.....it won't make much impact....be the 'lee bean-thin or well rounded.

Hey goddess, I don't think that is it. The one you mentioned, I think the lady is standing and the bottle is brown and yes the contests are heavenly.

The one Steph and I shared is a light color liquer from a bottle shaped like a naked pregnant fleshy woman sitting on her legs. Truly beautiful. I first discoverd this at an all-female tantric goddess event, and the bottle so fitted in. And the contents were great too. Steph kept the bottle, although she is denying it. But now I am on a mission, I shall find it (and I know where) and get back to you.

If we're having a Meditterranean theme, I say just drink a lot of ouzo, but that's just me.

We can do that too. And that other drink you introduced me too. Seems only fair, I return the favor, though. You know, the whole tit for tat thing.

 

[Illtcklu]

I have a sudden craving for pita bread. And bean dip.

Well, I can also make a pretty decent 'adios motherfucker'. But trust me, after a few of them, it really is adios motherfucker.

Oh, and irish car bombs, probably my favorite party drink ever.

I am feeling drunk just reading this.

And to get back on track, drinking a lot makes me heavier, so we can test the original theory posted here.

In my experience, intoxication heigtens one's sensitivity (a lot). So, drink up.

Hell yeah it does!

I'm pretty ticklish as it is, but when I was tickled while drunk, I was literally screaming and laughing so hard it hurt.

It has something to do with the way it thins your blood and how it opens up your capillaries. That's why people who drink sometimes get red in the face.

Actually, present company accounted for (sitting and crocheting in the living room) is living proof that the poundage you carry has little uh...weight in this argument...

 

[TicklishLurker]

I'm a lot more then a little overweight. I'm 5' 3" and 260 pounds - and even with stretch marks and all that stuff, I'm still INSANELY ticklish. I would actually say my ticklishness has increased as I'm more inclined to keep my body as covered as possible, therefore majority of it never gets all suntaned and burned, therefore never gets that leathery feeling that skin gets when exposed to too much sun, leaving it more sensitive.
