endurance test

[p_tickles]

You all know the challenge... put your feet here. Now, let's see how long you can keep them absolutely still while they are tickled. No bondage, no restraint - just your own concentration, willpower and endurance.

Happened to me last night at a New Year's party (not instigated by me, I might add, but the idea made my blood boil!). We all took it in turns to lie on the couch with our feet hanging over the end. We were allowed to laugh as much as we wanted (in the first round anyway).

I was up first and after a few seconds my toes curled (as they do in this situation!). This was deemed as illegal but I demanded another go and managed 48 seconds. Very, very tough. My fists were clenched so hard I split skin with my nails!

The anguish and desperation are totally different to those when you are tied up as you are battling yourself, not the tickler. You have the power to stop the tickling any time you like.

I thought my 48 seconds would win, when the last girl up (9 played) disintegrated into giggles almost immediately. Do you think we could move her? Not a bit... laughed hard but not even so much as a toe-twitch! After 5 minutes everyone (except me!) was getting bored and stopped.

Needless to say she did not fare so well in the second round (no laughing either). In fact, my 31 seconds was good enough to win that.

This was a mind-blowing experience for a New Year's party!

Now it's over to you. Has this happened to you? Ever challenged yourself with this one? What were the rules? How long did you last? How did you get through it? Talk us through it.

If it hasn't happened to you, would you be able to take it for any time? Do you have the powers of concentration to defy your body's every defensive instinct? How long do you think you would last?

I'd be interested to hear.

wow

5 minutes? What a bunch of wimps! <gg>

Never met anyone who could break me, I love it that much. Dying to meet someone who thinks they can try (good luck!)I'm usually the one who's left begging for more...

 

[tickle_feety]

i often indulge in that kind of game...i like to test myself...of course i always give up after a minute of so (my girlfriends a good tickler!)

 

[ticklishbbw]

Hmmm..haven't tried that game. I'm not sure I'd be good at it. Even though I love to be tickled, I still jump and instinctively pull away when I'm tickled. However, I think it would be a lot of fun to try! It would be even more fun with some intense tickling as the "prize" for the person who lost.

Thanks! It does sound like fun. I have to keep this little game in mind!

 

[Oddjob0226]

The anguish is VERY different! Being tied up you can't stop it, so there is the feeling of hopelessness, but your body seems to resign itself to it's fate and the tickling is as unbearbale, but you can take more.


Having to hold yourself in position, you can stop it anytime, but I feel like I can't take it as much and I get more desperate. It is hard to describe the difference, but it is there....

Sounds like something to maybe play at future NESTs and Gatherings!

 

[Sunday_10pm]

That sounds sooo much better than the party I went to!

It's a classic game. I remember playing it at a neighbour's house ages ago, and there was a girl who couldn't do it for more than a couple of seconds! She was really determined too - she had about 10 attempts! I've had a couple of tries at it too, though i've never been timed. I think I could probably last a minute, if i clenched my fists hard enough! (lol, you must have been really going for it!) Like you say p_tickles, it's a glorious experience - a true test of ticklishness and will. I think it's one of the sexiest tickle games you could possibly play.

 

[p_tickles]

endless opportunities!

I have played (slightly less public) versions of this game before, usually as the 'ler.

After all, many people will not back down from a challenge, especially if called chicken often enough. Once you have their feet, it certainly pays to build the intensity gradually. You could go in like a bull in a china-shop and have an extremely short, unrewarding game. Or you can start very gently, just enough to make it uncomfortable and gradually work up, just staying within their boundary of endurance.

Of course some may get cocky after managing the first few seconds. A firmly applied, single trailing fingernail up the centre of the sole usually gives them something to contemplate!

One girl I went through this game with was so ticklish to start with that I thought there was no chance. Having helped her through SO slowly, she began to really enjoy it. So much so that over the next few weeks she would demand "1 minute!" all the time. As a favour, reward, punishment, practically as currency!

Her tolerance built up at an amazing rate - the first time she was almost frightened to give me her feet. The second time she was raring to go. I thought I'd bring her back down to earth a bit and dispensed with the preliminaries, going straight for fast fingernails. She gasped hard and clenched her fists and eyes shut before dissolving into giggles and repeatedly calling me a bastard.

Her toes splayed and scrunched and generally seemed to work independently of each other. She rocked and shook her head, giggling and swearing. However, for that minute, she had me beat! Her feet stayed in my lap.

From that point on it was a contest - a challenge for us both. She REALLY amazed me and for the most part beat me too. Nerves and a will of iron - she just refused to give in!

It became impractical to take so many minutes out of the day to tickle her (seriously, she was asking that often. "I've washed up. That's one minute!". "Can I have one of your cigarettes in exchange for a minute?"). So we started saving them up for the night. Anything up to 20 minutes a day and she would absolutely refuse to withdraw her feet.

After a few weeks we both moved out and it ended. But it firmly ingrained that particular aspect of tickling firmly at the top of my list. It was magic. A girl with an eye for a challenge, nerves of steel and feet of silk!

Sorry, I've gone on a bit. This maybe should have gone in the stories section! Actually, does anyone have or know of any stories about this kind of tickling. I struggle to find many.

I'll shut up now.

 

[chickles_:)]

Yeah this game is fun.
Funny thing is that while i used to play it with my brothers as a girl, it was really my b/f's idea to try it. We were cuddling one evening watching that old movie North to Alaska. Anyway, we got to that part where the guy tickles her feet to make John Wayne jealous, and my b/f huffs and says, "girls have no resistance at all."
Now, there are of course many who have incredible will power. Trouble is i'm not even close to being one of them. (or maybe it's a good thing. 🙂 ) Anyway, seeing a perfect opportunity to have a little fun, i naturally challenged his arrogant statement suggesting that girls sure as heck do have resistance and if he didn't believe it then perhaps he'd be willing to make a little wager.
It's amazing how i can let myself get so totally carried away without even thinking. He of course grins and confidently says, "you're on."
Suddenly my predicament hits home and i'm like "OMG what have i gone and done now??" But there was no turning back so, with gritted teeth i slip off my socks and swivel around to slide my bare feet overthe edge of the chesterfield arm.
Chuckling with the taste of victory he knows he's going to win practically by default, he goes around to my exposed feet and while i'm looking away trying not to think about the bet i've just made he drags a finger across the top of my toes. EEEK! I nearly jerked them away then and the ordeal hadn't even started.
"Want to give up now?" he asks and i see him grinning out of the corner of my eye as he wiggles his fingers devilishly near my feet.
"YES!!" I think, but i shake my head anyway, equally aware of the way this wager is exciting me.
"good," he says and gently feathers his index fingers up the length of both my soles! I shriek and after barely a second of the five i've wagered i can handle i'm yanking my feet to safety.
We both laugh. I look at him, unable to hide my cheeky grin.
He's won the bet, sure, but then i've won too. See, the bet was that if i couldn't last the five seconds then he'd get to 'train' me to endure five minutes.
Since then i've actually made it up to three and a half minutes! Though i usually don't go past two. I will admit though that PMS has been known to help my average.

[chrisheaven]

a great game- payed it often with friends- I always lose

 

[steph]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Great stories gang, deliciously wicked! Keep going...

 

[pghtickleguy]

Steph I would love to try and break you. If your feet are the least bit ticklish look out!!!!!!!!!! Check you mail!!!!!

 

[p_tickles]

congratulations chickles!

3 1/2 minutes is impressive. May I ask, do you have to keep your feet totally still, or can you scrunch your toes, or are you ok to wiggle as long as you don't withdraw your feet? Are you allowed to laugh?

I think it's best with absolutely no movement allowed - more of a challenge and greater concentration and focus for the ticklee. Total concentration is needed to keep those piggies from wiggling!

Let us know how you progress!

Ooooooooooooooo if only you could come HERE!

As far as the endurance goes........see how long you can last all tied up and at my tickling mercy!🙄

Try it being tied up and tickled mercilessly and relentlessly.
See how long any of you panseys in the UK could last!😛 😛 😛 😉

It's very easy to keep your feet still if they're strapped down and thus very hard (or impossible) to move them.

That's the difference here. With no restraint, it would be very easy to move your feet away from the tickling fingers. In fact it's very hard NOT to move them.

So, TickledtoDeath, how long do you think you could resist the urge to escape with the heels of my hands holding your toes back and my fingernails scribbling on the balls of both your feet?😉

With bondage, the battle is mental, as physically you have no choice but to endure the tickling.

Without bondage the battle is both mental and physical, as you fight you're body's natural instincts.

Hiya!! And thanks ever so much for your kind encouraging words!!
But uhm,
I have to confess that it's really not very impressive. *sheepish grin*
See, i have yet to graduate to enduring anything with totally bare feet and as for scrunching, uhm er that is,,, I get to move my feet all over the arm of the chesterfield as long as i don't move them out of range. I know i'm really just a total wimp, but i did admit to it in my first post. Also he's usually pretty merciful, alternating between intense spidering and gentle teasing.

Still, 3 1/2 minutes is pretty cool. And it would have been impressive if i had been either barefoot, quiet or motionless, or, uhm, had not been forced to endure it by my -er- trainer.
Unfortunately i have to confess that the time i made 3 1/2 minutes i had help. Or rather i had little choice...

The meanie decided i'd been slacking off of late seeing as i'd been pulling my feet out of range after barely making a minute and a half. Which i have to admit was totally true. But, and here's where i did NOT deserve it, the next thing i know he's grabbed me by the base of the heels and told me that the only way i was going to escape before the five minute mark was if i admitted to having cheated the last time i beat him at chess!
Ooooh i so wanted to get him back for that!

Still, P_tickles, i thank you for your encouragement. And i am making progress. 😉
As to your suggestion of trying to hold it in with more control is -well, uhm, kind of intriguing. I hadn't thought of that. If i get up the nerve i just may try it. And who knows, maybe i'll be lucky and never succeed in holding it for a full five minutes.
Thanks P_tickles.

But enough about me, what has your latest exploit been? How about your endurance record? Hmm?

Many blessings,
Chickles🙂

It may be easy to keep the feet still while strapped down, but how long could you last being tickled that way totally non stop nary a break for a second before saying the word stop let alone crying uncle?

As for ME,resting the urge to escape with the heels of your hands holding my toes back and your fingernails scribbling on the balls of my feet, I think I can last a couple of minutes, maybe but pulling away is partly if not wholely an INvoluntary reflex. Tougher to fight off than ones' "Will" being "broken".

Two seperate issues.

Sounds to me like you're progressing, Chickles! If your initial wager was for 5 seconds and you barely made 1. You've come a long way! The first time is the hardest. I think you can train yourself to a degree after that.

As for me, my last experience was the one that started this thread. It is certainly not the first time I've been involved in this game but it's unusual for me to not be the one who initiates it. A pleasant surprise!

My personal record, with intense tickling, is 6 minutes and (I think) 18 seconds. My tormentor on that occasion was the girl who kept demanding I tickle her - I thought it only fair that she get a go!

Now here's a question - I would have said that she was more ticklish than me in general. However, she was able to last much longer than me. Before we started that game, even a sideways look at her soles would be enough to make her nervous. That cannot be said of me. Who is more ticklish then?

Most of my experience has involved lighter, more public friendly tickling. This I have had plenty to do with. Some statistics can be found in an old post of mine at:

http://www.ticklingforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=17411

Alas I'm not working in bars any more so my opportunities are fewer and further between. Having said that, I appreciate them more!

A fairly recent encounter that may be of interest occurred when a girlfriend of mine and myself went to South Africa. We got on the plane to find that in our row of three seats was an empty one (I know - almost never!). I took the window seat, with a gap in the middle and my friend went straight to sleep in the aisle seat.

After takeoff I decided to stretch out a bit and watch the movie as my travelling companion was currently offering no companionship. I unwrapped my blanket, kicked off my shoes and carefully put my feet on her lap.

About ten minutes later the drinks trolley pulled up. Just as the hostess was turning to ask me if I would like anything I felt the unmistakably excruciating sensation of a single fingernail gently running down the centre of the sole of my left foot. Needless to say, once it had run down it ran back up again. I jolted and grimaced and glanced up at the hostess who was looking expectantly at me. "Anything to drink, madam?"

One nail became two.

My 'friend' was still pretending to be asleep so the hostess was paying no attention to her. "Just a water thanks." I almost spluttered, grimacing and shifting slightly again, despite myself.

"Are you OK?" enquired the hostess, with concern.

Two nails became a full set, scribbling SO lightly against the ball of my foot.

"Oh! Oh, yes. Thankyou. Just a bit of back pain." I replied, through slightly clenched teeth.

"Would you like me to get you a painkiller?" she asked sympathetically.
I thought "No, just give me my water and piss off so I can beat my friend to death."

"No, thanks. I'll be fine."

She poured the water, while I sat wringing my hands in my lap and biting the inside of my cheek. She leaned over to pass me the water just as the nails moved to my heel and were firmly dragged up my sole. At the last moment I was able to disguise my chortle with a cough.

"Thankyou."

And off she went.

"Well done!" said my friend as she lifted her head from the headrest, chuckling.

"You bitch! I said, hitting her in the shoulder and moving my feet.

"There's no need to do that." she said and held my feet and put them back. "I won't do it again... well, at least not until she comes around with lunch." She winked at me playfully.

"You're so bad!" I exclaimed, but her stare remained and grew into a smile.

"Oh, shit! Do I have to?"
"She'll never know unless YOU give the game away."
"What if I laugh?"
"Then you'll have given the game away, won't you?"

End of conversation.

Needless to say, ordering lunch has never been so testing on the brain! I just wanted it to be over quickly so ordered the beef and a chardonnay and that was it.

Of course my friend was not pretending to be asleep this time and engaged the hostess in as much idle chat as she could. All the while swirling her fingernails over my sole. I managed to hold it in throughout, though I did wonder a couple of times if it was worth it!

I rubbed my face with my hands in a 'just woken up' way - an excuse to hide my largely contorted expressions from the hostess.

Eventually (about two minutes, I would say) the trolley moved along and my friend turned to me, slapped my leg playfully and, in a condescending tone said, "You're so big and brave!"

I gave her a mock withering look and said "You'll get yours."

Unfortunately she hasn't!

Anyone else had similar experiences? I'm sure EVERYONE has
😉

 

[natural tickler]

Yeah, that's a fun game to play. We always play it. My fiancee' lasted four minutes, then gives up. Not bad, considering when she first started, she only lasted 30 seconds😀

 

[KoocheeKoo]

Interesting....when I was growing up, we played a game similar to that, except in our case, the girls could wiggle their toes and move their feet, just as long as they didn't jerk away...but here was the toughest part: they couldn't laugh (usually my friends Billy, Chris, and I were the ticklers....my younger sister Becky, Billy's sister Traci, and their female friends from the neighborhood or school were the ticklees.

The contest was to see which girl could withstand being tickled on her feet the longest without giggling or laughing....just lie there and try as hard as they could not to laugh. I've seen girls bite their lips, cringe, even try holding their breath in an effort to win. It usually didn't take long for them to break....all those girls were very ticklish on their feet, and usually would burst out laughing within thirty seconds (I don't think my little sister ever made it past 10).

 

[daddy]

God, I love this game!!! Have played it for many years and still do. Even though I have lost my fair share of bet's (as the ler) it always is fun to watch the ladies try to contain themselves. The ones that lose usually go down in the first 10-20 seconds! My g/f beat me, but just barely, and she did suffer a few "penalty" strokes for wiggling her foot away a couple of times. Gotta love it.

peace out,
daddy
