German TV Tickling

[theshire]

I thought this was nice: a segment on German TV about tickling. Anyone care to translate?

Very nice find. I do like the whole way they went about finding what portion of the brain is associated with self tickling and being tickled by somone else. Just to bad I cant speak German...lol.

I've just realised that this should have been posted in "Mainstream Clips". Mods, move at your leisure...

Hi!
I tried to make a translation. My english is fucked up, so I'm sorry for all the grammar faults..but I'm sure that you will understand😉

„Tickling“...for the most people it is one of the biggest pleasures..but why are we ticklish at all? What happens when somebody touches a soft point of our body? At first the skin transmits the stimulation to the nerve cells and from the nerve cells it goes to the brain.
The stimulation reaches a certain area in the cerebrum. You can see it more exact with a tomography computer. If you get tickled, the cerebrum gets the infomation operated by the “Feel-bark” (sorry, no english expression found). In this area the arlarm bells start ringing: “Hey, please check out! Is someone touching us?”
If we notice, that there is something / someone familiar and there is no danger, we may react with defence movements, but also with laughter.
Tickling grow out of a defence function. This is the reason why our most vulnerable spots are the most ticklish..

Self-tickling is impossible. The brain area which release the hand movements communicates with the area which notice the contingencies.
The tickling must be unexpected to be effective. For tickling you always need at least two people.

Makes me wish Germany won World War II

The girl in the red dress was great. Don't know why they wasted the opportunity to tickle the female bathing beauties with that feather, though. At least they had the taste to use attractive women as ticklees. Next report, they gotta get female ticklers - though if they insist on using a male ler, I will do it.

Em Es,

Remember that without bondage (and even in many cases with bondage), you wouldn't get that kind of tickle action with f/f. It would probably have been more like that soft and teasing kind of tickle. This guy knew how to tickle his lady.

ddd

P.S. Even as a cute joke, the WWII quip is not in the best of taste. Peace.

I'm not heiling Hitler, mind you

DDD, please remember the U.S. did not go to war with Germany because of the Holocaust. As with genocides before and after, too many responsible powers did nothing for too long.

Amen! All too often they ruin these mainstream scientific dealies by throwing some dude in there, in which case I have to immediately switch it off or get the dry heaves! This one was perfect.

And Felix, thanks for the awesome translation.

Hey Em Es,

1. I know you are the farthest thing from a Nazi-supporter.

2. The issue here is that "almost wishing" Germany had won WWII is not a good basis for a joke. Think of it like this: A lover of beautiful, decorative weaving sees a lovely Middle Eastern (or Saudi or Afgan) rug on E-Bay and quips, "It almost makes you wish that Osama Bin Laden had hit the White House on 9/11."

3. For me, the reason America entered into the war is not the issue. Only on Hogan's Heroes can you separate between "good," old-fashioned, army-fighting and the German horror of the 1930's and 40's.

4. You didn't respond to my main message--m/f vs. f/f tickling!!!

All the best,
