I think I like to tickle in just about every way that one can tickle, and my preferences and interest keep evolving over time. One thing that I will say is that I appreciate what you said about your own method of exploring and finding the most sensitive spots first, then revisiting them. I think there's a lot of hyper-fixations in the tickling world that I have a hard time identifying with. I have a few body part and body type fixations that I really, really enjoy, but I also enjoy tickling outside of the scope of those. I tend to do the same as you and explore the lee. I think it's a lot like how sculptors often don't so much try to force an image onto what they want the stone to be, but rather describe the process as discovering what the unique stone wants to be through it's natural patterns, shape, and makeup. Sometimes they have a very specific result they desire, and in those cases they have to find the perfect stone for it, but each stone has an interesting work of art hiding within it. When I tickle someone, I like to find out what makes them special, how they react to touch in all the different places, and play with their unique signature of sensitivity. I love when I really tickle someone somewhere they didn't even know they were ticklish, or when I get them to laugh a way they've never heard come out of their own mouth before. Playful exploration with a slight sinister undertone is my answer.
