Losing Ticklishness

[ImNotDave]

My gf was a very ticklish girl 4months ago, she used to giggle and kick if i tickled her, but as of late, she hardly reacts, let alone cracks a smile, she says "somedays im just not sensitive"

but somedays is now becoming 'everyday'

is there a reason? am i doing something wrong? has anybody else experienced this?

Hi all btw 🙂

It does happen

I have seen this before. I knew a gal once who I could tickle when we first met. After knowing her a while and tickling her a few times, I was unable to get her to laugh: even though she wanted me to. She just got to know me and tickling was only effective for her when it was from someone she barely knew. I suppose the familarity with my touch killed it.

That said maybe she is learning to "control it" so as to not allow herself to be tickled because she does not really want to. I would reccomend asking her how she REALLY feels about being tickled (ie does she enjoy it truly or tolerate it because you like it). That could be your key. If the latter, ask yourself it is truly worth giving up your fetish for her - because if you stay with her and she insists you not indulge in tickling with her or anyone else then you may have to in order to stay faithful to her. Don't fool yourself into thinking "nah, she understands me and wouldn't do that". If she is purely vanilla then I guarantee that she cannot and does not understand. No offense to her, she may be the most wonderful person around but you either get it or you do not! It then happens all the time where promises are made and the "non-tickling" partner renigs and makes an ultimatum for the ticklephile to abandon their fetish. This puts the ticklephile in a compromised situation in which they can never be truly happy having to choose. This is a miserable situation and is best avoided.

Good luck,

she says she likes it, and even tickles me back, but its getting rather one way, cause im ticklish, and she doesnt seem to be anymore.
Sometimes if i catch her really really off guard i can get her to jump and laugh briefly, but it wears off quickly 🙁

it sux

It's odd, I actually thought I lost my ticklishness as I got older, then played with individuals who really understood what they were doing and found out that was most certainly not the case, it just takes more of a skill level to get a reaction from me now. The point of all this, is maybe you should switch up your technique and try something new, compare it to a weight lifting routine, you should change up your workout every few months so your body doesn't get so acclimated to it that it stops having the same affect.

Sounds like she is guarding herself. Some people have the ability to "shut" themselves off ...whether it be by choice or by sub-conscience. That is why you are able to make her giggle the first couple of times or when you get her by surprise. The instant the shock wears off, she is no longer reacting. As tklcouple said...she is probably getting used to your touch. You may want to resort to some tickling tools like a feather or comb..etc.

Maybe try using different tickling implements, to see if it is just that she got used to your touch.
