How is tickling real?

[Esm00ve]

How is tickling an actual experience that exists? It’s beyond the weirdest, most absurd sci-fi or fantasy scenario anyone could possibly come up with.

How does mere touch elicit the most unbearable sensation anyone could imagine, a sensation so strange it’s impossible to describe, a sensation that somehow borders on slightly pleasurable despite the fact that you feel like you could kill to make it stop?

How does that same sensation cause uncontrollable hysterical laughter, squirming, thrashing, flailing, desperate begging and pleading?

How can this experience be so easily induced in some people that even when someone is not intending to cause it (doctor, massage therapist, pedicurist, etc), the person will still completely lose control of their entire body from a mere minimal touch?

No wonder we’re obsessed with it.

It’s the strangest, most bizarre, magical, mystical, intense, hellish, delightful experience known to humankind.

Strikes fear in the eyes of one while another becomes majorly aroused from the mere mention of the word.
Dampens crotches
Causes one to laugh to legitimate tears while another tears of terror.

Body tremors, high squealing, frantic words of distress, and curses that make a witch jealous.
Clothes fall limp on some while others run and hide.
Cause many to dress for heavy downpours, and others to not wear anything at all.😜

Comedic spasms, dangerous twitches, bites, screams, kicks, pleads, high risk bargaining.
One might risk their life to make it stop even as another risks it to make it last longer.

Tickling is everything that we have ever wanted as well as a dramatic fear that paralyzes every mate.
Yet you sir, or you madam...
You just can't seem to ever get enough of it.😉

To laughter, euphoria, health, and beauty all in one distinct moment.
To tickling!🍻

Legitimate scientific research on tickling is being done to answer some of these questions. Whether we’ll see any significant progress in the near future remains to be seen, but it is fascinating to read about nonetheless.

Our bodies are essentially a core computing system (the brain) with highly integrated sensor systems for all five senses, connected by an advanced network that enables high-speed communication, housed in a flexible framework. The computer system is a mixture of firmware (DNA) that includes programming for multiple learning systems based on sensory input. The makeup of every individual is unique. This provides a wide range of individual responses to what we have labeled 'tickling'. While the act of tickling or being tickled can seem magical, almost mystical, particularly to those of us active on this forum, from an objective scientific view, tickling is relatively straightforward.

The most common scientific reasons given are to notify us when something is touching our skin that covers vital organs or arteries and to promote social bonding.
