"Self" tickling machines

[Mike3355]

one idea i had, was an old record player turntable, duct tape and a bunch of feathers... duct tape the feathers to the turn table, turn it on so it's just spinning... and put foot against spinning feathers...

 

[primus38k]

let me know i would buy one!

A few years ago, I was able to make a VERY simple tickle machine using the Lego Mindstorms robotics set. The gears for the set worked pretty good as ticklers.

I bet someone could make some really great tickle machines using the newer Lego NXT set

I know a lady who lived in Texas a long time ago who described herself as "addicted" She had to have her fix. She was ticklish on her back, so she used a fan and strips of newspaper on a wire hanger. She said it worked great.

...do you remember how it was set up? I mean, how the strips were attached to the hanger, etc..

 

[Gadilici]

I think she just draped them over. Maybe a clothespin to hold them in place. Fan I think was on the other side of the room and oscillating. That way there was less predictability, and more skin contact. She liked light tickles, so you may want to add weights or something. I never saw it. It was more penpal sorta thing. She just described it to me and it was about 1998.

I'm sure you'll get it figured out with a little tinkering 😉

I dunno if i wld, to be honest i'm more of a tickler but i still like 2 be tickled. I'm sure of 1 thing though and that is that ur not a lonely TMF aussie, i also live in this great island!! So don't feel alone theres hope!

Ab-sole-utely I would.
I would love to have a box you slip your feet into that have cuffs that lock you in and have a random time setting so you never know how long or when the breaks may come.

 

[detritus]

man! i would buy one right away... 2 in fact

all logical concerns aside, if we can assume that they just exist without worrying about the technical details (like you have to assume FLT in an I M Banks novel)

if there was a machine that could do proper gargalesis... dang...

what would be great also would be one that would do two people so you could strap in with your loved one and get tickled senseless together...

except if you have a loved one, and that loved one likes tickling enough get in a gargalesis machine with you... you probably don't need the machine

hmm

also, while we're are on the subject of self tickle devices, the closest thing i have come across (pun intended) is a cheap shower-head that was in one of the houses i rented when i was at art school... i still have it... i replaced it with a much nicer unit so i could keep it, because while being not that great for showering with it tickles like absolute crazy

i can't quite figure out what it is about it... the wholes are quite big, and there aren't many of them and they spread the jets quite wide, but i have never found another that tickles so well, and i have bought many in my search

i tell you, it works if you just hold it on yourself... but if someone else holds it and sprays you it is like "AAAAAAGHGHGHAHA I'LL TALK, I'LL TALK" - i have run it over the tummies, feet, and legs and... other... places... of a couple of ladies i have been lucky enough to shower with, and who, while not being as nuts about tickling as i am, quite liked a bit of a tickle... and they lost it completely, even when they used it on themselves

so after that slight aside... if you could also get a machine that replicated whatever it is about this cheap plastic shower-head that tickles so much, and apply it all over you (probably with slight vibration or movement of the jets) while you were fastened in place... that would also, perhaps, provide a most satisfying solitary tickle experience

i dunno its 1 of them questions of would it make me a bit strange (like buying a blow up doll)? should i be aiming for like a real person? i no wot id prefer!!!

Android "Friend"

The machine would have to act like a person.

Teasing, taunting, tickling, laughing, etc.

Give off human reactions.

I think social bonding would be a necessary component.

Basically, you're talking about an android "friend".

Does it say the make and/or model # on the shower head?

 

[Lord Doctor]

I'd buy one... the one I made is a bit crap

 

[TarynsTinyToes]

I don't think I would buy it... but I would love to see it in action!!

 

[detritus]

Does it say the make and/or model # on the shower head?

no, unfortunately not... i think it was such a cheap one it didn't really have a make... it was originally attached to a set of those tubes you push on the taps, but unusually has a connection that fits in a normal shower pipe

i took some photos of it in case anyone wants to start their own quest

as you can see it is getting on a bit, i have had to wrap it in gaffer tape to stop it leaking out the side

actually now i look at it in the photos, it has very few holes... that could be a factor, that and they spray in a very wide pattern so you feel each one individually maybe... i'm gonna add that to my checklist - very few holes

If a commercial one exsisted and you could pick it up from an adult store or private seller, would you buy one? (By "self" I mean you can rig it up and it will tickle you on its own)

I know I would! Come on, I live in Australia, Im practically alone on this island. Not a TMF'er in insight! 😛

I am very sorry that there aren't any TMFers in sight for you. 🙁 I would prefer the intimacy of being tickled by a real person any day over a machine and even if i wasn't being tickled a lot by a real person I still wouldn't want a machine no matter how deprived of tickling I am. I think fantasies are better than a machine. I love the closeness and the connection tickling brings to myself and another person. Any psych book would tell you that tickling is more of "social play" I've heard a machine just isn't the same. There has been research that deep down your brain knows its a machine. The brain knows the difference between that nice soft tender human touch causing tickling vs. a machine. The cartoon drawings involving machines are pretty cool though. Have you thought of trying feathers on yourself?

The shower head thing reminded me of something that REALLY tickles me--water spraying in a thin stream from a hose...or from a Super Soaker . (and I'm talkin about the OLD Super Soakers..like the Super Soaker 50. I can only imagine how much more the most recent ones would tickle)

Too bad those need another person to use em if I wanna get tickled by em.

I could see something like this:

working well. Possibly you could attach different stimuli. As always though the best tickling device is a person. 🙂
