More ticklish on one foot than the other?

[KoocheeKoo]

I took my g/f to dinner this evening, and afterwords, took up where we left off several nights ago....a little tickle testing (no torture tonight...just enough tickling to get her giggling and squirming 😀

Traci allowed me to tickle various areas (her bare feet, knees, underarms, waist, ribs) to see how long she would hold back her giggles (nowhere for more than twenty seconds), but we noticed something unusual.....consistently Traci was able to withstand the tickling without laughing LONGER on the sole of her left foot vs her right. On her left foot, Traci began losing control in 11-12 seconds....while on her right foot, it was 5-6 seconds at best before she began laughing (her feet are even more ticklish than at age 13...and as she theorized, is probably the result of being barefoot less outside nowadays...esp. in winter, and frequent pedicures).

I tickled both of Traci's soles several times, and it was the same result every single time...and I'm wondering if anyone else is like that (or has tickled anyone with similar differences in ticklishness between the left and right sole). Traci is right handed (she suggested that might have something to do with it)...and also suffered a fractured left ankle while skiing about 15 years ago.

Thanks in advance 🙂

My girlfriend is left handed, and her left foot causes her to break out into hysterics....while on her right she can hold out for a few seconds....so yeah...i'd say it's quite common.

Thanks Myst....knew I shouldn't doubt a teacher who's fav subject in high school was science (of course science was my fav too, and I didn't have a clue 😀

Strangely, I can tell no difference in the ticklishness between my own feet (and Traci nearly tickled me to death tonight trying to find out....with those french manicured fingernails, she's vicious 😀

Not unusual

My left foot seems to be more ticklish than my right (not sure how that's possible ..but it is!). I also play with someone who's whole left side is twice as ticklish as his right. No idea why this is..I'm not left handed, so that isn't the reason.

I don't have the problem (or is it one?) <gg> but I understand it to be quite common phenom...

I spoke with my little sis last night (just to make sure my new niece was okay...little Grace is fine, already weighs 10 lb...up from 6 lb 13 oz at birth January 13th 🙂

Becky remembers a newpaper article she read about a year ago that mentioned a university tickling survey finding that most folks were indeed slightly more ticklish on one foot than the other....but said most people wouldn't notice the difference in sensation because it was so slight (except for us ticklers and ticklees who tests for things like that 😀

Have a great weekend folks! 🙂

both of mine are equally horrendously ticklish!!

I definitely experience that. My left foot is FAR more ticklish than my right. Lazarus often will seclude the left foot specifically for tickle torture. Actually, the entire left side of my body tends to be much more ticklish than my right. And I am right handed.

ANOTHER GOOD THREAD, PERRY. IN MY EXPERIENCE ABOUT HALF OF MY TICKLE PLAY "VICTIMS" SHOW MORE SENSITIVTY ON ONE FOOT. I DON'T HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHY.

 

[lishbeth_m/f]

my left side is more ticklish than my right, but my right foot is WAY more ticklish than my left. Go figure.

Personally and among those I have tickled, there is little difference between left and right sensitivity. Interesting topic though. Is the more ticklish side cosistently more ticklish or does it sometimes change?

 

[ticklemad]

My right site is definitely more ticklish than my left and I'm right handed. Although the opposite is true with my feet, both are horrendously ticklish but my left is worse than my right.

 

[chrisheaven]

I have to report that my g/f has a more ticklish right foot

 

[primetime]

i too noticed this "phenomenon". when i tickled women's feet over the years, i noticed one foot is more ticklish than the other. it's usually the left foot, but i have found a few women who's right foot is more ticklish. interesting.....

don't believe it has to due with dominant hand.

my wife is right handed, and from her feet to her breasts ,to her underarms, her left side is markedly more ticklish than her right.
i am also right handed and find it goes back and forth from body part to body part.

Right there with you Meems!
My whole left side is far more sensitive than my right...almost like tickling two different people
However...as tbbw knows(See post above) that my nips are equally sensitive when a Sonicare toothbrush is applied!!!
Now THAT tickles!
