Hiya capitano!
When your brothers used to tickle you to get their way, where did they usually tickle you? Did they ever just concentrate on your feet? How long did it usually take for you to give in? Would there be a time sometimes when they were tickling you when you'd defiantly say "no, I won't do it" before you would actually give in? When you did give in, would it be yelling through your laughter "okay, I'll do it" or whatever? Were there ever times when all they had to do was threaten to tickle you, and that was enough for you to give in, or did they always have to tickle you?
Wow

Maybe i'm weird but

don't you think your questions might be just a teeny bit forward?
😉
Oh well, what the heck.

Let's see if i can't satisfy your curiosity at least a little
To be honest when my bros went into 'evil-tickle-mode' they tended to go for my upper body. From the hips up I'm extremely ticklish and have like a bazillion weakspots there, so while shoes tended to protect my feet, i could never defend all of my "upper-me" thus making it the most effective place for their tickle-attacks. Still, there were a few times when, being "sans shoes", my equally ticklish tootsies made ideal, and i dare say, for them an interesting, alternative for some tickle 'force-majeur'.
As for how long. I could say hours, 'cuz it generally always felt like it.
🙄 Though somehow when i happened to notice the clock before and after the tortures, the 'hour-hand' turned out to be measuring minutes.

Actually, i generally gave in pretty quickly. Mostly because i knew they'd win in the end anyway so why prolong the agony.

You know?
The only times i tried to hold out was when i was in a 'tickly mood' which happened less back then especially with them. Then i could endure for several minutes till i either frantically ran out of breath or had to pee. The other occasions and these were very rare, was when i thought i could hold out till parents or some other ally could intervene. But, alas, such hoped-for allies almost never "rode over the hill" so to speak.
There were a few occasions when i tried to hold out because i was really miffed at them and/or wanted very much not to do what they were trying to force me into. I recall one particular example around wanting to watch a movie i'd managed to miss every time it came on. Just as it was starting the evil brats decided that they wanted to make me change the channel so they could watch some WWF tournament or something equally lame.
It actually still boils me when i think of that occasion.

But it was certainly one time when i tried the defiant option

not that it helped any.

But then again, with me against the three of them at once it was pretty hopeless from the outset

Hmm, let's see what else, oh yes, were threats ever enough by themselves? There were some times when the mere threat of tickles either verbal or hooking fingers etc. were enough to make me cave. Usually that worked best on me when i was in a situation where i really didn't want to embarrass myself by making a scene, like at special family gatherings or at some church function for instance, or when there were people, usually guys, around that i wanted to impress. Though i later realised that on at least some of those occasions the brats probably would have got punished for tickling me.
Well, my dear Capitano, i hope (without violating the code of the forum

) that i have satisfied your quirky cravings at least a little.
😎
Of course nowadays things are
much different.
😀 I can definitely say that threats of tickles almost never work and -i can hold out under even the most excruciating tickletorture for quite a loooong time.
Many blessings,
Chickles
