As a ler and a lee I like it every which way. When I am tickling someone, I like to start slow, just enough to get a giggle going and then over a peried of time work it into a frenzy. As a lee, I am a very loud laugher. To the point of almost screaming. But I do like the occasional gag to keep me from laughing. It seems to intensify it. As a matter of fact, about 25 years ago, I had a problem where I lost my voice completely for about 6 weeks. I found that when I was tickled, I still tried to laugh but only the sould of air came out. But the ticklishness was ten fold more intense then ever. I thought I would lose my mind. It was the closest I had ever come to wetting myself from tickling.
