Poking

[WickedTouch]

Do pokes tickle more with longer nails or shorter nails?

For me, I feel like they're comparable in intensity on most spots, but a different sort of sensation. There are certain spots on the torso that can be more uncomfortable than ticklish if the pressure isn't light enough with nails, and I feel like it's a little harder for someone to have that level of pressure control, but otherwise they both work well. Poking random spots with nails on my feet is much worse, however. I don't easily desensitize to it and each poke is a sharp jolt of tickle hell.

I had instances of being poked in the sides at work, and it tickled 🙂 I’d take that any day!

Poking can be fun in some circumstances..but the sensation does go away too soon ..... and allows some recovery time so peak ticklishness abates...

To create that 'symphony' of responses and reactions from your Lee/ play partner....The exploring until you find the right spot and then ''latching on"....keeping the intensity going as their ticklishness builds and builds and their eyes widen and they progress to deeper responses ...is the way to go..and latching on is usually associated with ribs, hips, maybe thighs ...but latching on in that concept means finding a spot like the tummy / low tummy....where you simply use a relentless, perfect skimming or other type of touch that is obviously putting your Lee into another orbit of ticklishness...in that case..you are tickling maybe lightly but still VERY intensely...like the tummy, underarms, armpits...all over the back..sometimes the soles and arches of the feet...❤️😈😊

I actually got poked/ lightly tickled IRL today at a work meeting by my former boss. It was a team building experience where we all had our eyes closed, had to go around in a circle with our current team and state who inspired us & who was a really good trainer. I only started with this new team a month or so ago but knew who I was gonna pick and was the last one. She said when I tap you on the shoulder it’s your turn. No problem. Well when she got to me instead of tapping, she poked/ lightly tickled me in the ribs and she just got her nails done , similar to MJ’s nails from TA with tips and omg! It tickled so bad even if it was seconds, but cause I was in a work setting & new team, eyes closed I didn’t laugh and hope I didn’t flinch.

I would not call this 'poking' but its a cute story..My (now late) wife was not into tickling per se....but she had this uncanny ability (radar/sonar) to KNOW the last 3-4 rungs of my ribs were evidently VERRY VERRRRY sensitive to her touch...so in the kitchen especially ..when I was in her way at the sink or at a cabinet...she would not ask me to move to the side or out of the way..but simply put her fingers on the rungs (THE EXACT rungs that if she would have stayed on ....I would have collapsed bec it felt so intense even with her mild 'squeeze' ! this same intensity was with thin shirt or heavier shirts - didn't matter...Same effect!

now .. she could be playful in bed..once she gave me a pre- lovemaking back rub..and decide to 'latch on'
to those rungs on my ribs...I went crazy with laughter but screaming as well...and within seconds I was out of my mind...clutching the sheets and trying to crawl out from under her !.. she wouldn't stop so I grabbed the headboard and raised my torso upwards...I mean I was simply reflexively trying to dislodge those fingers!!!
but once I was up on my arms she jsut slid her hands In my armpits and tickled a bit there!
alls well that ended well though....it was the start of a great night...and no I didnt tickle her back bec she HATED vigorous tickling....but sensual tickling was always a possibility (jsut so you all know how fun she really was...❤️😊)
