This will probably fall flat, but who knows, it might catch on...
Earlier today, this thread got an idea going in my head. What if we came up with a standard ticklishness scale, and over time, as a community, ranked models against it?
It's probably been suggested before, but I can't recall anything offhand.
Ticklishness almost certainly follows a bell curve, which got me thinking that natural categories could be determined by standard deviations. The graphic below shows this: the area under the bell curve accounts for 100% of people, 68% (+/- 34%) of whom would be in an average range of ticklishness plus or minus one standard deviation from the mean. To the right of that group you'd have 16% more ticklish than most, and to the left of it you'd have 16% less ticklish. Within the more and less ticklish outliers, some (13.5%) would be moderately so, fewer (2.35%) heavily so, and on an incredibly rare (0.15%) basis, you'd find an extreme case.
That suggests eight categories (labeled 0 through 7) as shown in yellow below. I took a swing at a quick descriptor of ticklishness for each category in the 2nd row of the table under the graphic, and added a 3rd row showing how many models out of 100 you would likely find in each category.
For accuracy this would be easiest to do by body part. I'm primarily a foot guy, so here are some guesses at foot ticklishness ratings. I'll grab a handful of examples from Tickle Abuse to keep it simple, and just go with my gut on level classifications:
Level 7: Joey, Natalie (Panic in the Stocks)
Level 6: Traci, Alexa Complex, Denise, Leela, Big Mamma
Level 5: Desire, Chelsea, MILF Jess, Mia, Emma, Mindi
Level 4: Alaina, Sydney, Monique, Sharron
Level 3: Stormy, Lydia Supremacy, Georgia Peach
Level 2: ...
Level 1: ...
I love all these vids and am not suggesting that the higher rankings are always better. Ticklishness is just one aspect of whatever you might define as quality. My favs in the sample above are in levels 4-6. But it still seems like it could be a handy metric, and maybe an interesting undertaking...
...?
