You remind me of my "ticklish cousin." =) To steal yer line as it were. Tho b/c you do I'll be a nice guy and throw u a bone. =) A couple tips to help me from becoming the ticklish cousin...tho I did end up the black sheep. =) Not a bad trade off tho I rather enjoy my family status.
As far as your tips go. First sleep naked and make it a point that any of your so called family potential ticklers know this. Now while it leaves you vulerable to say wives/husbands/girlfriends/boyfriends. That's about the extent of it. Reaching under the covers for any reason if yer not one of those is generally taboo as well as a sure fire way to catch a beating from me. Also it opens a can of worms most family members don't want to open/won't open. Tho if as in my family you have some, more bold blood, then the beating generally prevents the rest.
Second I find it easier to picture something primitive if someone starts tickling me tho I've always been like this I've just gotten more...dark over the years. Something like hunting down a deer or bashing a rabbit or what have u, skinning it and eating it. Something off instinct as u said. =) Something off the..darker part of yer instinct, something other than run and hide. Tho most people have trouble getting away from that one. In just about any instince mind you not just tickling.
Some people seem to forget that the whole ticklish sensation is there to let us know about potential threats to ourselves. Bugs, birds, predators of whatever sort. So tapping into that part of the mind in my case on a regular basis, can help one overcome. I found this out when I was rather young and have been doing it since meditation and whatever else I can. Now it's at the point I can in essence leave my body. You could bang my foot with a hammer and I wouldn't feel it till I snapped back, and even then it's only residual...not that it doesn't hurt.
At any rate I got off subject. I loved the storys as said above they were well told and quite vivid I felt as if I could see it in my mind.
