Which is better, gagged or loud laughs/screams/begging?

[Kusumimi]

Something I wondered and I couldn't find topics about with a quick search (forum's so big and full of posts that searching is not that easy 🙂 ). I myself don't have real experience with tickle torture, but from what I've seen in videos or art/read in fiction, etc. I know things may vary from people being subjected to tickle torture while they laugh and scream and make a lot of noise, and also where they're gagged with either a ball gag (or something else). I was just curious what most people here think is better (aka hotter) and why? 😱

For me, gags run counter to the whole point of tickling; laughter, teasing, verbal interplay..without those, what's the point? But that's just me.

I'd say I like to hear the laughter rather than the muffling, but really as long as the ticklishness and the struggle are genuine, it's all good. Occasionally things that the lee says add to the experience.

I am not a fan of gags at all but that is just my opinion.

 

[FeatherEndeavor]

I like loud laughing. I prefer laughing and cackling to screaming. Also some teasing from the ler and begging from the lee are always a nice addition to the videos.

 

[JaySnow]

I fall in line with the others. I want to hear unabated laughter. No gag!

It's better not to prevent the ticklee from laughing, because that's what is healthy and good about tickling. It's a natural breathing excersize among other things, and tension and stresses are released with laughter and muscle work, so why take this positive effect away?

It's better to use some noize isolation if that's the issue.
Happy tickles 🙂

I like to hear hysterical laughter! Screaming, not so much. As a matter of fact, if I hear laughter that could be construed as ticklish laughter, I'll get hard pretty quick even if I don't see the action. So, gagging would be something only for the glass shattering screaming!

I love loud laughing and begging. But in places where it's absolutely inappropriate (offices, churches, stores, etc.) then gags are necessary.

Maybe, but how often do you tickle someone in an office, church or store?

I'm with everyone else here; the lee's laughter is a big part of tickling's appeal. Why take that away with gags?

 

[DontAskJusTckle]

I've always regarded gags as indigenous to the low rent district of the tickling community.

I like soft or full on laughter. I don't like screams or shrieking.

I hate gags, and screaming.

Good one. Very funny 🙂

Priceless!!!

Yay, thanks for all your answers! Exactly the reason why I asked😀 why gag if there can be ticklish laughter?

I actually do know what you mean, if someone's tickled in a place where people can hear I guess gagging might be the option to keep the sound at least a bit down (although I have never heard about chuch-tickling hehe). I do think there's a difference between putting a ball gag and putting tape over the mouth. With a ball gag there's still a lot of muffled noise, laughter and moans coming out but the tape actually blocks most of the sound, making it really hmmmphf only right? 🙂

In my case I think gags or screaming and stuff like that is a too much for me because part of the reason I like tickling so much is to hear cute laughs or begs. I guess I haven't had a real tickle torture experience so all I know is the playful side, but as long as the lee is comfortable and enjoying being tickled as much as Im enjoying tickling her then I guess all is good🙂.

Gags can have their place, but nothing is more music to my ears than begging.

No it's not just you, I feel exactly the same way. I could never figure out the point of gags in tickling video's. I love seeing, and hearing the girls laughter and begging for mercy. Plus I would think the gag might make it difficult for the "lee to breathe.
Basically if someone tries to promote a tickling vid and I see the 'lee is gagged I lose all interest

I have a personal preference for laughing / giggling rather than screaming. I also do not like gags. But that is just me.

There was a friend in high school who was a laugher. She didn't scream or overreact....she just laughed. She was fun to tickle.

I am very much in the laughter camp - the laughter/noises/dialogue that comes from the lee when being tickled is a massive part of what I love about a ticklish reaction.

The only thing I will say that's positive about gags, is that when someone is gagged, it does (at least in my case) bring your attention to the expression in their eyes more, which is something that perhaps gets lost amidst all the other facial expressions and noises you get when someone is not gagged. Maybe...

I personally feel the point of tickling someone is to hear them laugh

I agree!

 

[Mitchell]

Loud laughs and screams definitely.

Only my opinion of course.

In my view, tickling should cause laughing. It almost seems to me like. "What is the point if you cant hear the lee's laughter"?

Even in all the tickling stories I've written on the forum over the years, they have always had the lees in the stories laughing hysterically when the lees were being tickled.

 

[bigpaulie3]

Both. Depends on the situation.

Blindfolds Yes...Gags No. I love to hear Ticklish Laughter and also Tickle Talk. Teasing her verbally is a Major turn on for me. I never did understand why anyone would want to muffle that sweet sound of hysterical laughter.
