Odd title...bear with me please.
I have always said that I need an emotional tie to someone to be truly ticklish. A stranger could probably not tickle me and get a great reaction like my wife can for example.
Yet as I get older and more ticklish (lucky me) I have found out a very interesting thing:
Once someone tickles me, and I react, I can no longer block the tickling.
In other words my neighbor could poke and prod and tickle and as long as I never give in to the reactions it will only slightly tickle. But once they catch me just right and get a big reaction from me then I am doomed!
One such person has tried to tickle me on numerous occasionsa and I just flit awy without much reaction. However just recently she got me good...and now she just has to poke me and I am squirming and laughing.
That's when I realized that other people who could never tickle me quite right beofre suddenly have an amazing power over me...and each of them got that ability after they had caught me good one time.
Now I am no more closer to any of these people than I was before, but suddenly I can't resist the tickling.
And no one can tickle me like my wife...whom I have turned into a horrible tickle monster! All she has to do is approach me with wiggling fingers and I am curled up in to a giggling ball!
I know part of it is my simply getting more ticklish, but I think there is something psycological too that my brain is telling me that there's no sense pretending to not be ticklish when they already know what a well placed finger can do to me.
So do you have people you are more ticklish for than others?
