Which one really tickles?

[kts]

That's it

This is a good topic. I haven't been tickled by very many people but I was surprised to learn that not everyone knows how to tickle. 🙂 I never thought of it as a difficult concept to grasp. After I informed my first boyfriend (this was in college, I'm not much of a dater) that I liked to be tickled he started injuring me. He did! He seemed to think it was appropriate to DIG his fingers into me - it made me jump and shout, of course, which he thought meant I liked it. I actually had to tell him I was kidding and *didn't* like to be tickled just so he'd knock it off! Yeah that wasn't the best relationship. 😉

I had a male roomie later and he used to tickle me and it was okay only he used to just trace the same pattern over and over on the same spot, which for some reason was *extremely* irritating (does that happen to anyone else?). And then there was a guy who tried to tickle my feet and it just felt like a massage, which surprised me because I'm pretty darn ticklish. I didn't think it was possible for someone to *try* to tickle my feet and have it not tickle at all.

I've never had a guy friend who wanted me to tickle him so I have no idea if I'd be any good or not. Is it true that people who enjoy being tickled make better 'lers?

My bf is a horrible tickler, whenever I ask him to tickle me he starts to dig. Always on the same spots. No fun, no exploration. It's really said.

I like the light touch on my feet, armpits, and belly, but experienced lers know that there are some pressure points/ nerve ends that will make me trash around like crazy.

Have you tried giving him some directions? The reward when he gets it right should motivate him to learn.

I woulda said that if I'd gotten here earlier. Zing. 😉

Great tickling minds think alike. Perhaps we should do a little plotting for Steph's benefit.

It's classified kidz...😉

There's a challenge if I ever did hear one.

Too impatient

Thanks, but he is a bad student when it comes to tickling and I am probably to impatient. You know how it spoils all the fun. When I know where he will tickle me there is no shock effect and I am less ticklish.

How would you teach somebody to tickle? That sounds kind of hard. I mean I really had to start with the basics with him like telling him to spider over my sides, and not to tear off my feet. He is so clumsy it is almost cude.

Light, all the way!!!

Light touch + Nails = The best combination. It works really good on me.

I enjoy reading what the ladies' have to say ... & it seems for the most part , women LEEs would rather have the 'light' version of getting tickled. I like tickling in all its forms , & I can 'lightly' tickle someone all-the-live-long-day ... but sometimes , when you just want to get that 'eyes-bulging-out-of her-head' reaction , you gotta go a for a more 'harder' tickle. I'm not talking about causing pain or anything like that , but you DO have to kinda know what you're doing ... it's a delicate balance ... & it does depend on what body part you're tickling. Speaking of balance , I think alternating between 'light' & 'hard' tickles probably works the best ... keeps the LEE more off-balance . 😉

How would you teach somebody to tickle?

...Wouldn't it be fun to teach someone how to tickle, on a willing volunteer? 😉 (Or if one was brave enough, be the volunteer!)

I guess that's offtopic, it just occured to me that that might be fun. 😀

Anyways kts, I hear you. 🙁 Since the guy I mentioned was the only guy I ever dated (it definately wasn't a serious relationship anyhow) I haven't exactly had another chance since to get it "right". Oh well.

Mmmh? Not a bad idea, are you available as a volunteer? lol
Maybe we should start a new thread with this topic, I could need some help.

Definitely light touch as others have said. The harder stuff will tickle but really not for long, the lighter stuff is what drives me nuts. Can't say I have a preference for nails or no nails although most guys have shorter nails, I've never been tickled by another woman but I've heard their long nails are just evil tickling tools but what do I know I'm always using them on someone else, MUAH.

You would not <B>BELIEVE</B> the responses I get from my lady friends when I give them light touch tickling! I have them lie on a bed pretending to be asleep (those who know me here at TMF already know I'm into 'sleep tickling') and I slip my hands under the sheets and begin lightly tickling their toes and working my way up the body. Each lady has gotten extremely turned on by that. So,to make a long story short, yes, light touching is definitely the way to go.*

And when it's MY turn to receive the tickling, I always prefer the light touch.

*A quick note: one of my ticklees tells me that she loves to be tickled but after a while it gets a little overstimulating (I tickle her at bedtime because she likes to be lulled to sleep by my touch). Every few minutes I'll massage her legs or back just to give her a break from the ticklish sensations. Heavy tickling has proven to be too painful in most cases so I won't do it unless it's specifically requested.

When I'm tickling a female I'll usuallly start off with light scratches if it's bare skin---on every part of her body. It usually wakes up the nerve endings then I'll usually wiggle in areas like armpits, belly and feet with one or more fingers. The Hips and ribs I usually pinch with a little firmness several times. If she has clothing on I'll tend be slightly a bit harder then softfen up once I get a reaction. I try to listen to her voice to know whether something tickles or not. So far (knock on wood) I've had no complains and I always get results.

I've got the Midas touch, everything I touch turns to gold (and laughter).

This is an interesting concept.

I have also noticed in a lot of videos the tickler tickles the lee's ribs very hard, like digs in. I prefer soft techniques. Have anyone seen any videos where the ribs are tickled softly, like, lightly scratched or tickled lightly but fast?

Personally in terms of watching I prefer soft tickles as opposed to hard.

I also think long nails would be more effective.
