Well yeah that makes a lot of sense Marquis and Leafstk-it does depend on the mood what the setting of the potential tickle scene is and other factors. Each tickle scene is going to vary and be different and not each tickle encounter is going to be the same, know this is cliche and bit corny me saying this but I am gonna say it and hope no one shoots me down-but it is true a tickle encounter is like a snowflakes, going to be different and unique, no snowflake alike and each one varies, a better analogy-each person has special traits and different aspects of their personality, some people are born extroverts and others are more loners, more introverts truly at heart.
For example in a lighthearted tickle encounter or scene with strangers become soon friends or tickling with friends-calls for lighthearted and fun playful tickling, not sensual, not sexual. Versus for couples or married couples into the tickle kink-tickling is usually very arousing, erotic, and sexual so it is going to vary.
Sorry for going on tangent-for me my favorite way to tickle is when I get to be playfully in charge-get to be tickle dominant-I really enjoy and love being dominant-love being the ler/switch..also can enjoy and really like being submissive-be tickled whether unbound or bound-but really dig and really LOVE doing the tickling more-that is until more trust is established and bond of friendship is formed between me and the ler. Yet love to tickle pounce, bunches of fun!!!! Love making my lees squirm and wiggle and thrash in restraints and even unrestrained-also like and enjoy playfully being dominant when tickling-enjoy playful tickle wrestling oh yeah that is great and a lot of fun
