Pregnant women lose or gain tickle sensitivity

[iani21]

Have you ever heard of a pregnant woman change in sensitivity? Either become more ticklish or less ticklish? Would be interesting to hear what people have experienced.

A theory I heard on this (about twenty years ago) is that tickling with women at least is (surprisingly) a defense mechanism meant to protect virgins from unwanted advances. I heard this on Dr. Dean Edell years ago. The laughter was meant to have a negative effect on the male. I personally am not saying yes or no to this, just what I heard. Yes with us tickling is a turn on not a turn off, but to others it is a turn off. Obviously it is more to shake off insects way back in primitive days, but it may have become adapted to other uses because it is still a human reflex action.

So to apply this theory to pregnant women. I can see that yes a pregnant woman could become more ticklish as a natural reflex action to protect the baby. And in addition I can see a pregnant woman needing added protection vs. insects or other small creepy crawlies. Yet with me being a guy and never have been pregnant I can't really speak from personal experience.

Ladies? Any insights here?

That sounds made up to me. I've never encountered a guy that didn't feel good after making a girl laugh, even from a joke.
A pregnant woman could see an increase or decrease in sensitivity depending on her diet and hormones. If the question is "Are women more ticklish while pregnant?" I would say no, no more than anyone else.

In modern times, yes and no. I am one of those guys who is happy to see a girl have a good time. Yet, there are plenty of guys so full of themselves who would see a woman not in respectful awe of him that offense would be taken. However, I was referring to more primitive times where 'mounting' procedures were far less civilized.

Fair enough. That is honest estimation. Outside of some manner of actual test everything is relative.
