Non ticklish ticklers can’t tickle?

[Pluma]

I saw a similar problem tackled in bdsm context regarding domes that had no desire to be dominated themselves. Some argued that their play suffered because of that.
Can you be a good tickler if you are not ticklish yourself?
And for those who are ticklish and have endured tickling on them: has that experience improved your tickling in any way?

Whoa, slow down, all them T's sped right by me.

I would think that non-ticklish people could be good ticklers, if they are good at tickling.
I dont think that them being ticklish or not would have anything to do with it.
(this is just my opinion though 🙂 )

For the record, I am not very ticklish at all-though I was when I was younger-and I think (all modesty aside) that I am a pretty skillful tickler. Just call me Nontkl (lol!).

I don't agree. My girlfriend is (very sadly 🙁) not ticklish at all but she is an awesome tickler. I don't think she realizes that this is such a turn-on for me but she admitted to me that she now has a tickling fetish because she loves doing it to me since I'm so ticklish. It's just too bad I cannot get her back.

from a purely selfish stand point: I think that being ticklish adds to the joy of tickling. being ticklish and having been through it... you can almost feel what they are feeling.

I don't ever remember being ticklish...and sometimes I "almost" envy those who are. Maybe I am missing out on something. Maybe I'm not the "Best" tickler alive, but no one has ever complained that I didn't tickle her good enough...

yes they can

Although the best tickler(and lover) I know was a very ticklish woman(actually she was my boss, 40 years old, beautiful, extremely ticklish in her great feet and the most sadistic tickler) a person can be a good tickler without being ticklish.

My wife learned to be a great, cruel tickler.(Even on a special date she tickle torture me with another woman, and later tickle the girl with me) but she is not ticklish at all. What is important is the desire to please your partner.

im not ticklish but i am still a good tickler in spite of it because when my girlfriend wants to show me something about tickling, she can sucessfully do it because i wont flinch while she's demonstrating it on me. the motions are still great to feel though.😉

Don't get me wrong-I think that knowing the experience of being tickled helps TO tickle....what happens with me is that I am actually ticklish for a couple of (very fun!) moments but the feeling goes away and I suddenly can be touched. I got used to it! I think this has stemmed from the fact that when I was younger I was DEATHLY afraid of being tickled (because I was so into tickling others, I guess!) and somehow, it just went away. However, I still get ticklish somehow during sex and being kissed on my stomach...someone explain that!!! (lol!)

Anyhow, knowing and remembering the feeling of what tickles has certainly helped my knowledge of how to tickle (for instance, getting raspberries on the stomach!! I had to go through that unpleasant experience as a kid!). So I guess I'm kind of reversing my previous post, but not completely because it is very true that I love more than just about anything tickling a girl's soles....skillfully, thoroughly and diabolically ...while my own peds I must say are so unticklish they might as well be wooden.


Hope this added a little something...anything!... to the discussion!
