What's More Important to a Tickler?

[ShadowTklr]

I was thinking about a study I did in college that attempted to correlate human senses and attraction/desire. The original study considered all 5 senses in order to determine which (if any) sense represented the greatest attraction stimulant.

I thought it would be fun to offer a very simple multiple choice to the Lers in the community. The question considers 3 senses – Visual, Auditory, and Tactual. In order to make this more fun, I have given you Four (4) test subjects from which to choose. Each of them has been assigned a number value for each of four attributes: Ticklishness, Laughter, Attractiveness, and Desire. (1 being the lowest, and 5 the highest) Each subject has been configured in such a way that forces the participant to compromise one attribute in favor of his/her preferred attribute.

You are to review each of the four subjects, then choose the ONE subject with the configuration of attributes that most closely represents your personal taste in order of importance for the ideal ticklee, and explain why.

This short exercise is a game to stimulate discussion about why we find certain attributes in ticklees more attractive to us than others, based on the select attributes given.

Enjoy!


Definition of category selections:

Ticklishness
1: Sensitivity is very low, although you can get some mild twitching.
5: Highly sensitive. Loose clothing in a breeze can cause bouts of uncontrolled giggles.

Laughter
1: A cross between Arnold Horshack, The Nanny, and Harvey Feirstein. It’s just the most irritating laugh you’ve ever heard.
5: Indescribably hot. Deep, and rich that gets more uncontrolled as it grows more intense.

Attractiveness
1: Not “FUGGLY”, but about 2 notches below your idea of average.
5: Supermodel

Desire
1: Doesn’t have much interest in tickling at all. Finds the whole idea to be a bit “silly.”
5: Adores being tickled and can’t get enough. Likes to tease and instigate tickle trouble. Motto is “Anytime. Any way. Anywhere.”


Please select ONE of the following Subjects, and explain your answer.

Subject A: --------------------------------------------- Ticklishness – 5 | Laughter – 1 | Attractiveness – 5 | Desire – 1

Subject B: --------------------------------------------- Ticklishness – 1 | Laughter – 5 | Attractiveness – 5 | Desire – 1

Subject C: --------------------------------------------- Ticklishness – 5 | Laughter – 5 | Attractiveness – 1 | Desire – 5

Subject D: --------------------------------------------- Ticklishness – 5 | Laughter – 1 | Attractiveness – 5 | Desire – 5

D C B A in that order

Desire is very important, so is ticklishness

I picked D because if an extremely ticklish supermodel wanted you to tickle her, who would you care what she laughed like?

 

[milagros317]

My choice is between C and D, because what is the point if the other person has no desire to play, and A and B have desire=1.

My choice is D, since I would prefer somebody who is attractive with an awful sounding laugh to somebody with a great laugh who is unattractive.

She might even agree to be gagged. 😛

 

[jugner]

Wow, I actually posted to a thread before milagros, i feel so special.😀 😛 😉 😎 😀 😛 😉 😎

 

[TicklishSinner]

C or D cant decide

 

[marcusb]

A and B. No desire? What's the fun in that? Bzzz.
D. Just from clips I've seen, bum laugh kills the fun. Bzzz.
C. Don't judge a book by... winner here. 😉

 

[Collin]

Of the 4 choices, definitely A. Maximum ticklishness. In fact, just being tickish is enough to be attractive to me, in many cases, and any type of laughter will do. A lower level of desire is prefered, but not so low that the lee is unhappy with the situation or worse, will throw a punch and hate you when its over.

 

[wolfman40]

Gotta be C for me, extremelly ticklish, a wonderful laugher, desires to be tickled, who cares what she looks like?!

 

[ShadowTklr]

Interesting...

Very interesting responses so far.
I'm probably more closely leaning toward a C myself and I've been that way since I was a kid. In fact, I have found over the years that there really is such a thing as "Too pretty," where the woman looks almost fake, like a doll.

I'd love to see more of us participate in this. I'm beginning to see a pattern.

😀

 

[kis123]

As a female ler:

I like C:

I'd prefer he doesn't have an eye in the middle of his forehead, but attractiveness isn't high on my priority list. It's not like I'm going to marry the guy. I just plan on tickling him senseless!

As long as he takes average or better care of his feet, I'm a happy ler!😀 😉

 

[gila67]

I would say either B or C; the laughter is an important part of tickling for me, and I don't think I could enjoy a 1 on that scale.

If subject B is Ticklishness 1, Laughter 5, then I have to rule that out; what use is a nice laugh if they're not ticklish enough?

So, by elimination, I would choose subject C.

 

[TickledToDeath]

Toss up between C and D.
Ticklishness is very important and most important for that matter. type of laugh is not as important as looks and desire.

TTD

 

[Double T]

No doubt, C

Very ticklish, beautiful laughter, and loves it to pieces!

I never placed much importance on looks. I'd rather a "plain" sweetheart than a beautiful bitch, no?

My answer is C!

 

[Strider]

C or D,leaning towards C.If they're not into it,I'm not going to be into it,so that cancels out A and B.As far as looks go,they're not that important to me,especially if the trade off for them is that her laugh makes your ears bleed.Although,I concede,if Jennifer Garner asked me to tickle her,she could sound like a hyena for all I care.

 

[WraithTickler]

Definitely C- Desire and Ticklishness are the two most critical components here. Then between appearance and laughter- from a purely ler's perspective- a good laugh is an indication on how well one is doing their job and how well a lee is enjoy/reacting to their experience. I'd also like to hope looks aren't all that important for me.

The follow up is D, then A, and finally, B.

 

[rajee]

😀 I'd choose female C. Attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder. A tickler's perception of a ticklee's attractiveness can change if there is a connection happening.
I need to hear a decent sounding laugh/giggle etc...
Average to more than average on ticklishness and desire would be great.
How about Subject E: Ticklishness: 3 Laugh: 3 Attractiveness: 3 Desire: 3 😀

Hey Rajee. It seems that C is becoming the all-time favorite. I guess I suspected it would be, but I wasn't really sure.

The reason why I didn't include any degrees of average is because I was interested to see which attribute people would be willing to compromise to the extreme if given the choice. Giving a 3 in every category would be too easy. 🙂

I have, in some cases sacrificed laughter quality for enthusiasm and incredible ticklishness. I just kept telling myself that her "Hee Haw" laughter was HER way of expressing her delight. Who was I to criticize?

😛

 

[fitnesstickle]

C without a doubt. Desire and ticklishness are paramount. Laughter weight much higher than looks. 😎

Have met MANY a 'Subject C' in My lifetime...My fave!
