I save IM convos that are particularly good. I thought I'd share some with you all. I got the idea when I saw a topic of ways that we get ticklishness info out of people...I have dozens of these convos. here are a few favs. I got very lazy, but wanted to make sure i protected the identities of the others, but you can see my screename I used 5 years ago. LOL like I said I have tons of these, let me know if you'd like to see more.
This first one is a hot hot girl that I've always been dying to know if she's ticklish. I go on a screename that she doesn't know, and pretend to be doing my "survey"...here goes.
Saratk: ok on a scale of 1-10 10 being most how ticklish would you say your feet are?
Trish: 7
Saratk: fairly high number...what makes them a 7 do you think?
like how do you physically react to getting tickled, how long can you stand it, can you get a pedicure without laughing or a footrub?
trish: well i dunno....i think it's a difference of whether youre expecting it or not too
Saratk: thats true
trish: like, if i touch my feet, i would say 3
trish: if someone is TICKLING me, i'd say 7
Saratk: what reaction would u give if someone is actually tickling ur feet
trish: oh yah i can get a pedicure or footrub no prob
trish: roll around and try to get away
trish: lol...i'm sorry...i just think this is funny
Saratk: do u laugh loud or no?
trish: um sure
Saratk: haha i know it's a funny study
: do you notice that nylons make your feet more ticklish or no?
trish: ha...i didnt until you talked to me in the fall
Saratk: really? have you noticed since then?
trish: and once i thought about it, i noticed it did
trish: so maybe its psychosomatic lol
Saratk: how and what did u notice?
trish: i guess just slightly more sensitive to touch
Saratk: why do u think that is?
trish: maybe it was in my head or maybe because of the pressure from the nylons
Saratk: would you say you love like dislike or hate being tickled
trish: dislike
Saratk: did you get tickled in nylons since we talked or how did u figure that out? lol
trish: haha...i tickled my own feet the next time i were nylons
trish: i put them on and our convo popped into my head
Saratk: haha awesome
trish: and i was like...hmmm.....
Saratk: did u laugh at all?
trish: no
trish: i would say it was more of a 4 than a 3 at that point
Saratk: so u think wearing nylons will bump up your "number" on the scale by like 1 point?
trish: yah
Saratk: so if someone else tickled u in nylons you think you'd be about an 8?
trishthadish99: yah
Saratk: how do u think you would react differently to the tickling?
trish: probably the same actually
trish: it would just tickle more
Saratk: do u think there are certain types of nylons that would make it more intense than others?
trish: um going with my thoughts on the pressure the nylons exert affecting your nerve endings, i would say any "control" type nylons
trish: like...the ones moms wear for shaping and firming lol
Saratk: lol u think those would be the most intense? cause they are like tighter?
trish: yah
Saratk: i think silk ones might make a difference, but never tried it
would u say your feet are your most ticklish spot?
trish: yes
Saratk: if someone were to tickle your feeet, how long could u go without saying stop?
trish: um.... .4 seconds
Saratk: so there would never be a time when you would enjoy being tickled at all? you totally dislike it?
trish: yes
Saratk: if you could magically make yourself more or less ticklish, would you do it and make yourself less or not ticklish?
trish: mmm no
Saratk: how come?
trish: its not that bad it doeesnt ruin my life lol
Saratk: hehe why would u keep your ticklishness if you don't liek it? lol
trish: i dunno...sure. take it away. im not that terribly ticklish i am, but people dont walk up to me everyday and tickle me
Saratk: hehe. do you enjoy tickling other people?
trish:uh i guess only in a flirty or joking way
i dont pounce on people and do it everyday though
Saratk: haha yeah that would be wierd
Saratk: i'm going to do the study myself and find out my reactions and stuff but i need to pay someone to tickle me lol
--------------------------------------------------

Lisa: cuz you ssquirmish
Saratk: is there anything u or i can do bout that
Lisa: its hard to give ppl back massages when their ticklish
Lisa: so i can just imagine feet

---------------------------------------------------------
again, fake screename talking to a friend who is a singer/actress while we were in college. Discussing the possibilities of doing tickle videos.
Saratk: i just got a notice for an audition for a video
Jackie: AWESOME
Jackie: what video
Jackie: that's cool
Jackie: are you doing it
Saratk: that the thing i dunno...it looks a little shady...it's not porn and it pays a ton
Jackie: ahh, i see
Jackie: you should just check it out
Jackie: see what's going on
Saratk: i found the site
Saratk: it's legit
Jackie: cool
Saratk: a friend sent it to me i wonder if she's trying to tell me something lol
Jackie: nice
Saratk: the company makes foot tickling videos lol thats what i'm weary about
Jackie: ahh, i see
Saratk: what would u think about that
Saratk: pays a grand for one day
Jackie: that would be pretty awesome
Saratk: would you do it?
Jackie: i don't know.
Jackie: i'd have to check it out first
Saratk: what would be pros and cons
Jackie: the money
Jackie: pro
Saratk: well i can see that it's totally legit and they've been around a while
Jackie: the tickling
Jackie: con
Saratk: what would win the money or the tickling?
Jackie: the money
Saratk: really?
Saratk: would u tell ur friends u were doing it
Jackie: of course
Jackie: i'd be like
Jackie: shit i'm getting payed all this cash to get tickled
Jackie: it would be sweet
Saratk: how ticklish are you 1-10
Jackie: 9
Jackie: 10 being the highest
Saratk: mostly on feet?
Jackie: everywhere
Saratk: but your feet are a 9 too?
Jackie: yup
Saratk: (sent link of a foot tickling pic)
: thats an example ofa video
Saratk: so is 9 hystarical for you?
Jackie: how long would i have to do it for?
Saratk: i think the videos are usually like an hour long, but i'm sure there are breaks
Jackie: see, i would go numb after a few minutes
Saratk: whats the longest u've gone getting tickled nonstop?
Jackie: i have no clue
Jackie: a few minutes i guess
Saratk: wow and u totally hate it?
Jackie: yeah, i kick a lot
Saratk: did you look at that picture
Jackie: yeah
Jackie: it looks brutal
Jackie: i would probably cry
Saratk: lol u wouldn't be able to kick lol
Jackie: i know
Saratk: how would u react
Jackie: i would probably hyperventalate
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the best "survey I did" with a classmate. She thought she was talking to a stranger.
PaNdOrA5343: ok on a scale of 1-10 10 being most how ticklish would you say your feet are?
Michelle: 10
PaNdOrA5343: high number...explain what makes them a 10
Michelle: my feet are extremely sensitive and I'm hyperactive to begin with, so ticking seems to affect me tenfold
PaNdOrA5343: have you ever had a pedicure?
Michelle: nope
Michelle: too ticklish
PaNdOrA5343: can you handle getting a footrub without laughing?
Michelle: heh heh, only if I was sleeping first
PaNdOrA5343: has someone tried and failed? lol
Michelle: yup ;-) the boyfriend
Michelle: I tend to kick though..the poor guy got it right in the shoulder
PaNdOrA5343: so i assume you've gotten ur foot tickled on accident from time to time?
Michelle: yup. and on purpose
PaNdOrA5343: how on accident
PaNdOrA5343: what are some ways that happened
Michelle: foot rub being one of them, my dogs trying to play with the socks that were on my feet
PaNdOrA5343: haha
PaNdOrA5343: have you noticed nylons make your feet more sensitive?
Michelle: hence why I never wear nylons 🙂
PaNdOrA5343: lol when did you figure that out and what did you notice?
PaNdOrA5343: i found that out when i was at prom, and some other people said they noticed so i added that in my research lol
Michelle: hahhaa
Michelle: yup
Michelle: prom during my junior year ;-)(
PaNdOrA5343: what happened?
PaNdOrA5343: 🙂
Michelle: successfully put on the stockings and then tried to walk across the hall from my room to the bathroom...and then I hit the carpet and almost fell over because I was laughing so much. My mom thought it was hilarious
PaNdOrA5343: oh wow what did it?
PaNdOrA5343: thats a strong response i don't think i've heard of that before
Michelle: it was my fault because I wasn't picking up my feet..I was sort of "skating" on the carpet
PaNdOrA5343: describe the feeling that made it different than normal
Michelle: I dunno..it was sorta like rubbing the bristly part of a brush across the udnerside of my foot!
Michelle: I'm used to fingers trying to tickle the feet..not that..lol
Michelle: and..well.. shuffling my feet like that on carpet never tickled before until I had stockings on
PaNdOrA5343: what about the stockings made it worse
Michelle: the texture, I think
PaNdOrA5343: hehe
PaNdOrA5343: would you say you love like dislike or hate being tickled
Michelle: heh heh, I can't be neutral? Most of the time I like being tickled..unless I'm in bitchy mode or trying desperately hard to get something (like homework) done
Michelle: eh, just make it a like
Michelle: I like to laugh anyway
PaNdOrA5343: ok hehe
PaNdOrA5343: same 1-10 scale how ticklish are your ribs/sides?
Michelle: oh dear 9, when poked from behind in the ribs
that sends me jumping a couple feet in the air
PaNdOrA5343: me too
Michelle: and I make a hi-pitched yip of some sort
PaNdOrA5343: same for sides and tummy?
PaNdOrA5343: 9?
Michelle: 9 for sides..not so much in the tummy..more a 5 for the tummy (I can atleast control that..lol)
PaNdOrA5343: how bout your knees and any other places?
Michelle: knees..6 when tickled in the right way. The back of my neck is a 6 too..other than that...I don't think there are any other major places that I'm ticklish
PaNdOrA5343: can you tickle your own feet?
Michelle: :: checks :: teehee, yes
PaNdOrA5343: your kidding? i thought it was biologicially impossible
PaNdOrA5343: thats why i asked...one of the things i'm trying to prove right or wrong cause there are a ton of research online that says you can't lol
Michelle: ahaha
Michelle: dammit I'm an anomoly
Michelle: well, if it helps..it doesn't tickle AS much if someone else does it
PaNdOrA5343: so how do you react when you do it
Michelle: scrunch up my feet and try not to giggle
PaNdOrA5343: wow does that happen if you have to like wash your feet or anything? have you noticed that to be a problem before?
Michelle: I'm usually fine if I'm distracted -- I usually listen to music in the shower to keep my mind off my feet 🙂
PaNdOrA5343: wow but like has it happend ever when changing shoes or anything?
Michelle: only a little bit when I put on my socks. not shoes
PaNdOrA5343: so you haven't worn nylons since prom then? lol
Michelle: nope! Not until there is no carpet wherever I live ;-)
PaNdOrA5343: wow! you never noticed that before that day?
PaNdOrA5343: or had you not worn them then either?
Michelle I'm sure my mom made me wear stockings when I was really little..but I never really needed to wear them before -- I like my legs bare :-D
PaNdOrA5343: hehe i wear them in winter and i deff notice it
PaNdOrA5343: how long could you go getting your feet actually tickled do you think
Michelle: hahaha, my uncles tested this out for me -- 20 minutes before the hiccups took over and I couldn't breathe
PaNdOrA5343: lol why did he test it out? what happened?
Michelle: Because my uncles are punks and they like picking on their "niecy wiecy" lol...and because I taunted them and bet that I could keep a straight face for 5 mins...and I did...but then it turned into "let's see how long she can take it" One uncle held me down on the ground (because I kick), and the other tickled while the other timed. I ended up kicking one uncle in the face (oops), so the other had to hold down my legs.
PaNdOrA5343: and they tickled your feet for 20 minutes straight???
PaNdOrA5343: how did you react?
Michelle: I was straight-faced for 5 mins
Michelle: and then unleashed the laughter...to the point where I was crying and hiccupping and writhing and kicking
PaNdOrA5343: how on earth did you keep a straight face if your feet are thaaat ticklish
PaNdOrA5343: 🙂
Michelle: sheeeer willpower and I had about 4 tootsie rolls in my mouth and was biting as hard as I could into them 🙂
PaNdOrA5343: thats seems near impossible
Michelle: the mind is a beautiful thing ;-)
Michelle: I tend to test my willpower a lot too though, so I've had some practice
PaNdOrA5343: do you think your ticklishness has increased, decreased or stayed thes same since childhood
Michelle: heh heh stayed the same
PaNdOrA5343: was that incident with your uncle the worst tickling you've ever endured?
Michelle: yup
Michelle: lol
PaNdOrA5343: if you had a magic power to be able to tickle yourself anytime just like as if it were someone else doing it would you take it?
Michelle: hahahah, no! I would never get anything done then 🙂
PaNdOrA5343: how about if you could have it for one day
PaNdOrA5343: any day you choose
Michelle: nope ;-) maybe if I was trying to convince someone that I was crazy...but I don't think I'd want to do that
PaNdOrA5343: well you could do it when alone
PaNdOrA5343: just wondered if you would want that power for when no one was around or soemthing might be interesting lol
Michelle: I'm rarely alone ;-) lol
PaNdOrA5343: oh yah i was asking you if you could change your ticklishness with like a knob would you ever turn it down or up or keep it the same
PaNdOrA5343: 🙂
Michelle: haha, I would keep it the same ;-) I welcome an excuse to laugh my ass off
PaNdOrA5343: so there'd never be a situation where you'd love to have that capability?
Michelle: weeelllll I guess if my uncles held me down again and tickled me for 20 mins, I'd about lose my mind: so then I'd turn it down a couple of knotches
PaNdOrA5343: do you think your ticklishness has gone down up or stayed the same since childhood?
Michelle: stayed the same
PaNdOrA5343: so is there any material or thing that you know of that makes you more ticklish than normal?
Michelle: other than pantyhose? lol
PaNdOrA5343: ya
Michelle: the sound of a zipper sends the same feeling of tickling up and down my back (ends in the same result ;-) ) uuhm, not any that I can remember off-hand
PaNdOrA5343: so like when ur zipping up a dress?
PaNdOrA5343: have you notice tights do the same thing to you?
Michelle: mmhmm
exactly
and yes
PaNdOrA5343: when else has that been a prob with hosiery making u more ticklish besides prom?
Michelle: ice skating competitions.. dance competitions...errr.. trying to squish my way into english riding pants
PaNdOrA5343: tell me what happened with those sound funny lol
PaNdOrA5343: 🙂
Michelle: well, always with the dance/ice skating competitions, the girls would always help each other get into their tights, and I was always the last b/c I was ticklish and everyone wanted to make sure that THEY were in THEIRS before they helped me. They'd have bets on how long I'd last. Then with english riding pants, I discovered that they made me more ticklish when my then-boyfriend decided to bed my thigh and I nearly jumped on him and knocked him over
PaNdOrA5343: what would they make bets about? sorry
PaNdOrA5343: and bed ur thigh? sorry i didn't catch that
Michelle: *pet my thigh. lol. sorry, typing at an odd angle
PaNdOrA5343: oh ok
Michelle: aaaaaaand they would make bets on..oh..who I'd kick, where other girls would get injured, how long it'd take before I burst out laughing
PaNdOrA5343: what tickled about them helping you? lol
Michelle: well
they'd be getting my legs and my knees while helping. and just the fabric itself sliding over my skin gave me goose bumps
PaNdOrA5343: oh so your legs and knees are ticklish too?
PaNdOrA5343: what i'm trying to do next for my project is somehow actually find willing people on my campus to like let me tickle them to study reactions etc...having a prob with that
Michelle: yup!
sneaking up behind people and randomly poking them is out of the question? lol
PaNdOrA5343: like i dunno how to go about orginzing that
Michelle: whoa, wait, that would get dangerous ;-) some people get violent
PaNdOrA5343: no i'd want them to be volenteers in a controled setting
PaNdOrA5343: lol
PaNdOrA5343: but like i wouldn't know where to set it up or how to go about it
PaNdOrA5343: how would u do it if it were u at ur school
PaNdOrA5343: 🙂
Michelle: heh heh
Michelle: I'd just randomly go up to people while they sit in groups and explain what I was doing, and then ask if there was anyone willing to help me out by letting me tickle them (oooor someone they know if that makes them more comfortable)
flyers work too
PaNdOrA5343: lol what to say on flyers
PaNdOrA5343: and where would you hold it?
Michelle: Ask around to see if there are any rooms available - -usually you have to set a date and time etc and get it on a "schedule"
Michelle: "WANTED!"
PaNdOrA5343: but u'd use a classroom?
Michelle: Need Tickle Testers
Michelle: and expalin what you're trying to accomplish
Michelle: it's free, fast..maybe with cookies or something small to nibble on..usually if there's food, people will come
PaNdOrA5343: true!
PaNdOrA5343: if you saw that would you go?
Michelle: doesn't have to be a classroom -- on my campus there's a sort of coffee shop, and it has a basement that is often used as a meeting place
Michelle: hell, all I need is free food and *POOF* I'm there
Michelle: plus, you can randomly ask people too
Michelle: that's always fun
Michelle: both methods would work
PaNdOrA5343: so u'd actually show up?
Michelle: well, yes. Free Food + My constant hunger and complete adoration for food = I'll do/go to/listen to pretty much anything lol
PaNdOrA5343: wow...would you be scared?
Michelle: meh, not if it was held on campus
Michelle: and I enjoy a good excuse to go and randomly meet people
Michelle: :-D
PaNdOrA5343: but like when they were like take off your shoes and give your feet to me you wouldn't be like "gulp"
Michelle: only because I'm anticipating being tickled 🙂 but not out of fear
PaNdOrA5343: what would be going through your head?
PaNdOrA5343: i just kinda wanna see how this will work
Michelle: heh heh.. she took of my shoe..hey..her fingers are getting closer to my feet..whew..no tickles yeeet..not ye :: bursts into giggling ::
PaNdOrA5343: how long could you handle it?
Michelle: meh
5 seconds to 20 minutes
depending on if I wanted to give you a hard time or not
sometimes I like to see a person's reaction when *they* are expecting a reaction out of me, and I don't give them one for a loong time ;-)
Michelle: I tend to get funny results every now and then
PaNdOrA5343: lol like what
Michelle: I've been cussed out before b/c of it..uhm... usually just the expression on their faces..them turning bright red and slowly inching their way away from me...hmmmm. Just amusing to me 🙂
PaNdOrA5343: why would someone cuss you out?
PaNdOrA5343: what do they say??
Michelle well..usually those situations are when the person is being an aggressor..as they're trying to pick a fight aaaaand their anger bursts when they don't get an equally aggressive reaction b/c it makes THEM look stupid, so then they pop a bubble and blow up
Michelle: sometimes 🙂
PaNdOrA5343: like guys?
PaNdOrA5343: i have never heard of that, if i tickle someone and they aren't ticklish i just laugh and be like aww no fair
Michelle: mostly girls because "their man," whom I don't know neither the guy or the girl, looked at me and the girl caught it, so..hm.. I must be making a move on him or something :: rolls eyes ::
This first one is a hot hot girl that I've always been dying to know if she's ticklish. I go on a screename that she doesn't know, and pretend to be doing my "survey"...here goes.
Saratk: ok on a scale of 1-10 10 being most how ticklish would you say your feet are?
Trish: 7
Saratk: fairly high number...what makes them a 7 do you think?
like how do you physically react to getting tickled, how long can you stand it, can you get a pedicure without laughing or a footrub?
trish: well i dunno....i think it's a difference of whether youre expecting it or not too
Saratk: thats true
trish: like, if i touch my feet, i would say 3
trish: if someone is TICKLING me, i'd say 7
Saratk: what reaction would u give if someone is actually tickling ur feet
trish: oh yah i can get a pedicure or footrub no prob
trish: roll around and try to get away
trish: lol...i'm sorry...i just think this is funny
Saratk: do u laugh loud or no?
trish: um sure
Saratk: haha i know it's a funny study
: do you notice that nylons make your feet more ticklish or no?
trish: ha...i didnt until you talked to me in the fall
Saratk: really? have you noticed since then?
trish: and once i thought about it, i noticed it did
trish: so maybe its psychosomatic lol
Saratk: how and what did u notice?
trish: i guess just slightly more sensitive to touch
Saratk: why do u think that is?
trish: maybe it was in my head or maybe because of the pressure from the nylons
Saratk: would you say you love like dislike or hate being tickled
trish: dislike
Saratk: did you get tickled in nylons since we talked or how did u figure that out? lol
trish: haha...i tickled my own feet the next time i were nylons
trish: i put them on and our convo popped into my head
Saratk: haha awesome
trish: and i was like...hmmm.....
Saratk: did u laugh at all?
trish: no
trish: i would say it was more of a 4 than a 3 at that point
Saratk: so u think wearing nylons will bump up your "number" on the scale by like 1 point?
trish: yah
Saratk: so if someone else tickled u in nylons you think you'd be about an 8?
trishthadish99: yah
Saratk: how do u think you would react differently to the tickling?
trish: probably the same actually
trish: it would just tickle more
Saratk: do u think there are certain types of nylons that would make it more intense than others?
trish: um going with my thoughts on the pressure the nylons exert affecting your nerve endings, i would say any "control" type nylons
trish: like...the ones moms wear for shaping and firming lol
Saratk: lol u think those would be the most intense? cause they are like tighter?
trish: yah
Saratk: i think silk ones might make a difference, but never tried it
would u say your feet are your most ticklish spot?
trish: yes
Saratk: if someone were to tickle your feeet, how long could u go without saying stop?
trish: um.... .4 seconds
Saratk: so there would never be a time when you would enjoy being tickled at all? you totally dislike it?
trish: yes
Saratk: if you could magically make yourself more or less ticklish, would you do it and make yourself less or not ticklish?
trish: mmm no
Saratk: how come?
trish: its not that bad it doeesnt ruin my life lol
Saratk: hehe why would u keep your ticklishness if you don't liek it? lol
trish: i dunno...sure. take it away. im not that terribly ticklish i am, but people dont walk up to me everyday and tickle me
Saratk: hehe. do you enjoy tickling other people?
trish:uh i guess only in a flirty or joking way
i dont pounce on people and do it everyday though
Saratk: haha yeah that would be wierd
Saratk: i'm going to do the study myself and find out my reactions and stuff but i need to pay someone to tickle me lol
--------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------
again, fake screename talking to a friend who is a singer/actress while we were in college. Discussing the possibilities of doing tickle videos.
Saratk: i just got a notice for an audition for a video
Jackie: AWESOME
Jackie: what video
Jackie: that's cool
Jackie: are you doing it
Saratk: that the thing i dunno...it looks a little shady...it's not porn and it pays a ton
Jackie: ahh, i see
Jackie: you should just check it out
Jackie: see what's going on
Saratk: i found the site
Saratk: it's legit
Jackie: cool
Saratk: a friend sent it to me i wonder if she's trying to tell me something lol
Jackie: nice
Saratk: the company makes foot tickling videos lol thats what i'm weary about
Jackie: ahh, i see
Saratk: what would u think about that
Saratk: pays a grand for one day
Jackie: that would be pretty awesome
Saratk: would you do it?
Jackie: i don't know.
Jackie: i'd have to check it out first
Saratk: what would be pros and cons
Jackie: the money
Jackie: pro
Saratk: well i can see that it's totally legit and they've been around a while
Jackie: the tickling
Jackie: con
Saratk: what would win the money or the tickling?
Jackie: the money
Saratk: really?
Saratk: would u tell ur friends u were doing it
Jackie: of course
Jackie: i'd be like
Jackie: shit i'm getting payed all this cash to get tickled
Jackie: it would be sweet
Saratk: how ticklish are you 1-10
Jackie: 9
Jackie: 10 being the highest
Saratk: mostly on feet?
Jackie: everywhere
Saratk: but your feet are a 9 too?
Jackie: yup
Saratk: (sent link of a foot tickling pic)
: thats an example ofa video
Saratk: so is 9 hystarical for you?
Jackie: how long would i have to do it for?
Saratk: i think the videos are usually like an hour long, but i'm sure there are breaks
Jackie: see, i would go numb after a few minutes
Saratk: whats the longest u've gone getting tickled nonstop?
Jackie: i have no clue
Jackie: a few minutes i guess
Saratk: wow and u totally hate it?
Jackie: yeah, i kick a lot
Saratk: did you look at that picture
Jackie: yeah
Jackie: it looks brutal
Jackie: i would probably cry
Saratk: lol u wouldn't be able to kick lol
Jackie: i know
Saratk: how would u react
Jackie: i would probably hyperventalate
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the best "survey I did" with a classmate. She thought she was talking to a stranger.
PaNdOrA5343: ok on a scale of 1-10 10 being most how ticklish would you say your feet are?
Michelle: 10
PaNdOrA5343: high number...explain what makes them a 10
Michelle: my feet are extremely sensitive and I'm hyperactive to begin with, so ticking seems to affect me tenfold
PaNdOrA5343: have you ever had a pedicure?
Michelle: nope
Michelle: too ticklish
PaNdOrA5343: can you handle getting a footrub without laughing?
Michelle: heh heh, only if I was sleeping first
PaNdOrA5343: has someone tried and failed? lol
Michelle: yup ;-) the boyfriend
Michelle: I tend to kick though..the poor guy got it right in the shoulder
PaNdOrA5343: so i assume you've gotten ur foot tickled on accident from time to time?
Michelle: yup. and on purpose
PaNdOrA5343: how on accident
PaNdOrA5343: what are some ways that happened
Michelle: foot rub being one of them, my dogs trying to play with the socks that were on my feet
PaNdOrA5343: haha
PaNdOrA5343: have you noticed nylons make your feet more sensitive?
Michelle: hence why I never wear nylons 🙂
PaNdOrA5343: lol when did you figure that out and what did you notice?
PaNdOrA5343: i found that out when i was at prom, and some other people said they noticed so i added that in my research lol
Michelle: hahhaa
Michelle: yup
Michelle: prom during my junior year ;-)(
PaNdOrA5343: what happened?
PaNdOrA5343: 🙂
Michelle: successfully put on the stockings and then tried to walk across the hall from my room to the bathroom...and then I hit the carpet and almost fell over because I was laughing so much. My mom thought it was hilarious
PaNdOrA5343: oh wow what did it?
PaNdOrA5343: thats a strong response i don't think i've heard of that before
Michelle: it was my fault because I wasn't picking up my feet..I was sort of "skating" on the carpet
PaNdOrA5343: describe the feeling that made it different than normal
Michelle: I dunno..it was sorta like rubbing the bristly part of a brush across the udnerside of my foot!
Michelle: I'm used to fingers trying to tickle the feet..not that..lol
Michelle: and..well.. shuffling my feet like that on carpet never tickled before until I had stockings on
PaNdOrA5343: what about the stockings made it worse
Michelle: the texture, I think
PaNdOrA5343: hehe
PaNdOrA5343: would you say you love like dislike or hate being tickled
Michelle: heh heh, I can't be neutral? Most of the time I like being tickled..unless I'm in bitchy mode or trying desperately hard to get something (like homework) done
Michelle: eh, just make it a like
Michelle: I like to laugh anyway
PaNdOrA5343: ok hehe
PaNdOrA5343: same 1-10 scale how ticklish are your ribs/sides?
Michelle: oh dear 9, when poked from behind in the ribs
that sends me jumping a couple feet in the air
PaNdOrA5343: me too
Michelle: and I make a hi-pitched yip of some sort
PaNdOrA5343: same for sides and tummy?
PaNdOrA5343: 9?
Michelle: 9 for sides..not so much in the tummy..more a 5 for the tummy (I can atleast control that..lol)
PaNdOrA5343: how bout your knees and any other places?
Michelle: knees..6 when tickled in the right way. The back of my neck is a 6 too..other than that...I don't think there are any other major places that I'm ticklish
PaNdOrA5343: can you tickle your own feet?
Michelle: :: checks :: teehee, yes
PaNdOrA5343: your kidding? i thought it was biologicially impossible
PaNdOrA5343: thats why i asked...one of the things i'm trying to prove right or wrong cause there are a ton of research online that says you can't lol
Michelle: ahaha
Michelle: dammit I'm an anomoly
Michelle: well, if it helps..it doesn't tickle AS much if someone else does it
PaNdOrA5343: so how do you react when you do it
Michelle: scrunch up my feet and try not to giggle
PaNdOrA5343: wow does that happen if you have to like wash your feet or anything? have you noticed that to be a problem before?
Michelle: I'm usually fine if I'm distracted -- I usually listen to music in the shower to keep my mind off my feet 🙂
PaNdOrA5343: wow but like has it happend ever when changing shoes or anything?
Michelle: only a little bit when I put on my socks. not shoes
PaNdOrA5343: so you haven't worn nylons since prom then? lol
Michelle: nope! Not until there is no carpet wherever I live ;-)
PaNdOrA5343: wow! you never noticed that before that day?
PaNdOrA5343: or had you not worn them then either?
Michelle I'm sure my mom made me wear stockings when I was really little..but I never really needed to wear them before -- I like my legs bare :-D
PaNdOrA5343: hehe i wear them in winter and i deff notice it
PaNdOrA5343: how long could you go getting your feet actually tickled do you think
Michelle: hahaha, my uncles tested this out for me -- 20 minutes before the hiccups took over and I couldn't breathe
PaNdOrA5343: lol why did he test it out? what happened?
Michelle: Because my uncles are punks and they like picking on their "niecy wiecy" lol...and because I taunted them and bet that I could keep a straight face for 5 mins...and I did...but then it turned into "let's see how long she can take it" One uncle held me down on the ground (because I kick), and the other tickled while the other timed. I ended up kicking one uncle in the face (oops), so the other had to hold down my legs.
PaNdOrA5343: and they tickled your feet for 20 minutes straight???
PaNdOrA5343: how did you react?
Michelle: I was straight-faced for 5 mins
Michelle: and then unleashed the laughter...to the point where I was crying and hiccupping and writhing and kicking
PaNdOrA5343: how on earth did you keep a straight face if your feet are thaaat ticklish
PaNdOrA5343: 🙂
Michelle: sheeeer willpower and I had about 4 tootsie rolls in my mouth and was biting as hard as I could into them 🙂
PaNdOrA5343: thats seems near impossible
Michelle: the mind is a beautiful thing ;-)
Michelle: I tend to test my willpower a lot too though, so I've had some practice
PaNdOrA5343: do you think your ticklishness has increased, decreased or stayed thes same since childhood
Michelle: heh heh stayed the same
PaNdOrA5343: was that incident with your uncle the worst tickling you've ever endured?
Michelle: yup
Michelle: lol
PaNdOrA5343: if you had a magic power to be able to tickle yourself anytime just like as if it were someone else doing it would you take it?
Michelle: hahahah, no! I would never get anything done then 🙂
PaNdOrA5343: how about if you could have it for one day
PaNdOrA5343: any day you choose
Michelle: nope ;-) maybe if I was trying to convince someone that I was crazy...but I don't think I'd want to do that
PaNdOrA5343: well you could do it when alone
PaNdOrA5343: just wondered if you would want that power for when no one was around or soemthing might be interesting lol
Michelle: I'm rarely alone ;-) lol
PaNdOrA5343: oh yah i was asking you if you could change your ticklishness with like a knob would you ever turn it down or up or keep it the same
PaNdOrA5343: 🙂
Michelle: haha, I would keep it the same ;-) I welcome an excuse to laugh my ass off
PaNdOrA5343: so there'd never be a situation where you'd love to have that capability?
Michelle: weeelllll I guess if my uncles held me down again and tickled me for 20 mins, I'd about lose my mind: so then I'd turn it down a couple of knotches
PaNdOrA5343: do you think your ticklishness has gone down up or stayed the same since childhood?
Michelle: stayed the same
PaNdOrA5343: so is there any material or thing that you know of that makes you more ticklish than normal?
Michelle: other than pantyhose? lol
PaNdOrA5343: ya
Michelle: the sound of a zipper sends the same feeling of tickling up and down my back (ends in the same result ;-) ) uuhm, not any that I can remember off-hand
PaNdOrA5343: so like when ur zipping up a dress?
PaNdOrA5343: have you notice tights do the same thing to you?
Michelle: mmhmm
exactly
and yes
PaNdOrA5343: when else has that been a prob with hosiery making u more ticklish besides prom?
Michelle: ice skating competitions.. dance competitions...errr.. trying to squish my way into english riding pants
PaNdOrA5343: tell me what happened with those sound funny lol
PaNdOrA5343: 🙂
Michelle: well, always with the dance/ice skating competitions, the girls would always help each other get into their tights, and I was always the last b/c I was ticklish and everyone wanted to make sure that THEY were in THEIRS before they helped me. They'd have bets on how long I'd last. Then with english riding pants, I discovered that they made me more ticklish when my then-boyfriend decided to bed my thigh and I nearly jumped on him and knocked him over
PaNdOrA5343: what would they make bets about? sorry
PaNdOrA5343: and bed ur thigh? sorry i didn't catch that
Michelle: *pet my thigh. lol. sorry, typing at an odd angle
PaNdOrA5343: oh ok
Michelle: aaaaaaand they would make bets on..oh..who I'd kick, where other girls would get injured, how long it'd take before I burst out laughing
PaNdOrA5343: what tickled about them helping you? lol
Michelle: well
they'd be getting my legs and my knees while helping. and just the fabric itself sliding over my skin gave me goose bumps
PaNdOrA5343: oh so your legs and knees are ticklish too?
PaNdOrA5343: what i'm trying to do next for my project is somehow actually find willing people on my campus to like let me tickle them to study reactions etc...having a prob with that
Michelle: yup!
sneaking up behind people and randomly poking them is out of the question? lol
PaNdOrA5343: like i dunno how to go about orginzing that
Michelle: whoa, wait, that would get dangerous ;-) some people get violent
PaNdOrA5343: no i'd want them to be volenteers in a controled setting
PaNdOrA5343: lol
PaNdOrA5343: but like i wouldn't know where to set it up or how to go about it
PaNdOrA5343: how would u do it if it were u at ur school
PaNdOrA5343: 🙂
Michelle: heh heh
Michelle: I'd just randomly go up to people while they sit in groups and explain what I was doing, and then ask if there was anyone willing to help me out by letting me tickle them (oooor someone they know if that makes them more comfortable)
flyers work too
PaNdOrA5343: lol what to say on flyers
PaNdOrA5343: and where would you hold it?
Michelle: Ask around to see if there are any rooms available - -usually you have to set a date and time etc and get it on a "schedule"
Michelle: "WANTED!"
PaNdOrA5343: but u'd use a classroom?
Michelle: Need Tickle Testers
Michelle: and expalin what you're trying to accomplish
Michelle: it's free, fast..maybe with cookies or something small to nibble on..usually if there's food, people will come
PaNdOrA5343: true!
PaNdOrA5343: if you saw that would you go?
Michelle: doesn't have to be a classroom -- on my campus there's a sort of coffee shop, and it has a basement that is often used as a meeting place
Michelle: hell, all I need is free food and *POOF* I'm there
Michelle: plus, you can randomly ask people too
Michelle: that's always fun
Michelle: both methods would work
PaNdOrA5343: so u'd actually show up?
Michelle: well, yes. Free Food + My constant hunger and complete adoration for food = I'll do/go to/listen to pretty much anything lol
PaNdOrA5343: wow...would you be scared?
Michelle: meh, not if it was held on campus
Michelle: and I enjoy a good excuse to go and randomly meet people
Michelle: :-D
PaNdOrA5343: but like when they were like take off your shoes and give your feet to me you wouldn't be like "gulp"
Michelle: only because I'm anticipating being tickled 🙂 but not out of fear
PaNdOrA5343: what would be going through your head?
PaNdOrA5343: i just kinda wanna see how this will work
Michelle: heh heh.. she took of my shoe..hey..her fingers are getting closer to my feet..whew..no tickles yeeet..not ye :: bursts into giggling ::
PaNdOrA5343: how long could you handle it?
Michelle: meh
5 seconds to 20 minutes
depending on if I wanted to give you a hard time or not
sometimes I like to see a person's reaction when *they* are expecting a reaction out of me, and I don't give them one for a loong time ;-)
Michelle: I tend to get funny results every now and then
PaNdOrA5343: lol like what
Michelle: I've been cussed out before b/c of it..uhm... usually just the expression on their faces..them turning bright red and slowly inching their way away from me...hmmmm. Just amusing to me 🙂
PaNdOrA5343: why would someone cuss you out?
PaNdOrA5343: what do they say??
Michelle well..usually those situations are when the person is being an aggressor..as they're trying to pick a fight aaaaand their anger bursts when they don't get an equally aggressive reaction b/c it makes THEM look stupid, so then they pop a bubble and blow up
Michelle: sometimes 🙂
PaNdOrA5343: like guys?
PaNdOrA5343: i have never heard of that, if i tickle someone and they aren't ticklish i just laugh and be like aww no fair
Michelle: mostly girls because "their man," whom I don't know neither the guy or the girl, looked at me and the girl caught it, so..hm.. I must be making a move on him or something :: rolls eyes ::
