Too wet or too dry?

[Bare-Belly]

I was curious about the preferred conditions for tickling.

Some people seem to become more ticklish when they're covered in oil because they are more sensitive and the fingers move easier. But while it is good that it demands the ticklee to be nude, that has never been a positive experience for me.

To me, moisture gets in the way and I feel it is much easier to keep my hands and my victim dry. Also, when I am the ticklee, I have tried to increase my dry pleasure by rubbing my whole body with cornstarch or some other moisture-absorbing powder. I should mention that I feel that while a victim is always ticklish, it is only completely enhanced by full vulnerablility, so I prefer to lie on the table very helpless and absolutely naked.

Now tell me, what are your tastes?

I like 'em dry at the start of the session and DRY AT THE END! That's why "I've got to pee" is always our safeword. (SurehoneyjustasecI'llhaveyououtofthesestrapsinnotimeThereyougoit'sdownthehallfirstdoorontheleft!)

Isn't that a contradiction?

Lol, I think Bare-Belly meant that the 'lee being nude when he is the 'ler was not a positive experience. I had to read that a couple of times, though.

Bare-Belly, my 'lee also prefers to be completely naked, which is important to enhance his feeling of vulnerability, because we don't use mechanical bondage (I sit or lie on top of him instead). We sometimes like to use oil, especially when he is face-up on a mat and I'm straddling his lower body and tickling his tummy and sides. If we're doing it in bed, though, oil can be too messy, especially in our favourite position in which he is face-down and I am lying face-down on his back, tickling his ribs and waist from behind 🙂

Hmm...I think wet things like oil & lotion, honey, whipped cream, etc. are good for feet~it's a small area so placing a towel underneath first makes for easy cleanup.

For the rest of the body, I tend to like dryer things~edible body powders and the like. It tastes yummy, isn't too messy and is especially good in the heat like this, esp if as a lee like me, you can tend to overheat easily...

I prefer dry. Just the feel of it. 🙂

I am afraid that was not my meaning, Mistress. Having a nude ticklee is always a positive experience, and I DEMAND it when I am the tickler.
However, I do not like it if the ticklee is drenched in oil, and I am even less aroused by that if I am the one being tickled.
And to answer the vulnerability issue you raised, I feel all ticklers should remain fully dressed to heighten both the eroticity and the feeling of helplessness for a victim(including me) who is trapped being completely naked.

Am I clear now?

Thanks for the clarification, Bare-Belly 🙂 I also think that the tickler should always be fully (if sometimes scantily) dressed and the ticklee always naked 😱
