Whats your tickle tempo?

[Ghostwriter727]

Most tickle encounters are pretty fast, deep, and meant to produce the loudest laughter possible.
But what about the light, and mild single finger traces, or the feather fluttering around the lees body. Light pokes, fork strokes, and exploring even the most out of sight nerves on the partners body. The laughs are more like giggles and the tickle tempo is perhaps more enjoyable; rather than overwhelming.

Sure a good hard laugh is great exercise, stress relief, and fun to experience, but how about a simple session where the giggles, and reflexes are treated to a more delicate, and suspenseful cadence.

Fast? Slow? Medium?
Or should I just surprise you?😜

I do not fancy myself as anything that might even resemble a musician, but there are a few in my family and I at least have an appreciation for music. To me, tickling someone has always felt like playing a musical instrument. When done well, there's an intimate, almost spiritual connection between the ler and lee, as though the lee has become an extension of the ler's own body. Their reflexes are deeply connected to every move the ler makes, and their laughter, squeaks, squeals, and begging are the beautiful music that the ler creates by transmogrifying their own passionate energy into the lee's captivating expressions.

In keeping with that theme, I tend to tickle based on how the lee and I are feeling. Some days you want a slow, intimate song, and others, perhaps one of the flavors of extreme metal better fits the mood. My baseline default is to start out slow and build through exploration, seeing if anything surprises either of us. After a while, it has built to a more emotionally intense stretch, followed by a softer, reflective cool down. I don't really like keeping to a rigid formula or structure in tickling. I like to establish boundaries, check in as we go, but otherwise keep it an organic jam session.

Well said. I've often said that tickling, and touching others (when appropriate) is very similar to playing guitar, or any instrument really.

And the giggles, and squirms like dances as we play. Just like when we dance together there is give and take, and its something that we experience together.

Thanks for the insightful answer.
Keep playing that music.😉🎸

I like to tickle slowly I’m a gentle LER to me it’s more torturous. I feel the same way about being tickled

Definitely can be more torturous. Being slow, and methodical unlocks a whole different experience. Even if the giggles aren't so loud, and humorous the lees reactions are often deeper, and more enjoyable for all parties.😉

This is so true! Slow and light tickles are more torturous

For me it depends on where I’m tickled on how I like it done. For example, the sides would be slow spider tickles with nails, yet ribs would be fast scribbles .

I have changed my technique a lot over the years. Once a young, brash, go hard till the Lee caves early type of tickling, has been replaced with a slow start to a crescendo type ending.
It takes a lot of control as a Lee's tied helpless body is like a fantasy playground of hidden tickle gems.
But the reward is in the finish after I've taken my time to map their hot spots, found what drives them ballistic, then increase the tempo of the tickling, until, like the cymbals at the end of a symphony, bring the session to a climactic end.
