Your Ticklish Limits

[DannyMc]

Have your ticklish limits heightened in time ?

Damn, That's One More Pill I Gotta Take 😉

I'm Also Much Less Ticklish Than When I Was Younger. I Certainly Enjoy The Massage Aspects And Still Get Some Goose Flesh With The Proper Light Touch. Maybe It's Sonicare Senility?

Guess that's 3

I remember being extremely ticklish as a child, but as the years passed I seemed to have grown much less so. I wonder if this is a common occurrence?

Yeah I've noticed the same thing happening too.. maybe it's just a guy thing? Now I focus more on being the 'ler' then the 'lee', so I guess it all kinda worked out in the end.

I'm actually considerably more ticklish now than I was as a kid. I remember having my feet tickled by my sister's friend (she was trying to prove that I was only pretending to sleep, which I was) when I was really little--it tickled but I was mostly able (with great effort) to hold the laughter in, which I would NEVER be able to accomplish nowadays. And then when I was probably about ten a cousin held me down and she tickled my stomach AND my knees and I was able to not laugh AND not struggle, total stoicism, and that would be a literal impossibility now. (She eventually reached my feet and I broke, but even then I didn't lose it the way I would today.)

In fact, I guess, I was more ticklish in high school than I was as a kid, more ticklish in college than I was in high school, and I'm vastly more ticklish today than ever... this is a dangerous progression and one can only hope there's a maximum limit and that I've already hit it...

Heh, well if that's the case, maybe it's the opposite for women. 😀

And yeah, it makes it a little easier to be a ler if ur always less ticklish than the person ur tickling.

Well I used to be really ticklish when I was a little kid and I used to think that I got less ticklish over time---but now I realize that it's just the fact that I bluff all my friends into thinking I'm not ticklish that nobody tickles me. A few minutes ago my little sister poked my belly and I almost fell off the bed...😱

Aww bless poor tklvr....looks like there could be another ler in the making.lol


I think my level of ticklishess has increased over the years...I noticed a difference from when I left high school to going to college.My school friends would try and tickle me but it didn't really bother me.Also playing party games like sleeping lions where you could laugh but not move or vice versa or both-I can't really remember,but I used to be soo good at that,yeah it was hard not to laugh or move but I managed to pull it off.But then when I went to college and my mates tickled my it didn't take long before I squirmed away and laughed-couldn't believe how 'weak' I was when they first did it.lol.So basically now I wouldn't stand a chance at those kinda games.hehe.

I've been sharing this opinion for twenty years : I also thought that, though being extremely ticklish as a child, I wasn't ticklish anymore but... a few recent experiences proved me to be wrong. First, I jumped off the floor when a girl, taking me by surprise, briefly poked my ribs. Then, after twisting an ankle, I went to see a physiotherapist, whose foot massages gave me ticklish sensations I'd forgotten. Eventually, while receiving a pedicure treatment, I've been given the confirmation my feet still were ticklish. I'd drawn a wrong conclusion, maybe because of concentrating on my ler side, inhibiting my ticklishness and, chiefly, not being tickled by a skilled and persevering tickler : my ticklish spots just needed to be awakened, and I might have to accept to consider me as a potential lee. I also think this is not a coincidence if my sensitivity revives in a time I begin to explore my lee side.

I am about the same in ticklishness as I ever was and can still take as much as I ever could.

A valid point. But in my case I've been tickled a few times in the last couple of years, and, while still a bit ticklish, I specifically remember being more so as a child. Guess, like most things, it's just different for every person.
However, I've drawn the conclusion that, since I was tickled so much as a kid, perhaps my body's just grown somewhat accustomed to it.

As an early teen, I thought it was childish to be ticklish, so I developed techniques like filling myself with hatred or "disconnecting" from the tickling feeling to prevent reacting. Much later, I regretted those automatic defenses. When a woman would tickle and I couldn't react, we were both disappointed. After viewing and visualizing so much TK material, I have noticed I'm becoming much more ticklish. Maybe I'm just out of practice resisting, or maybe we can slowly become what we want to become.

Better yet, I like what Solebrusher said about "not being tickled by a skilled and persevering tickler". Maybe it's about recent training and experience.

But conehead180 makes a good point too.

It may be about how you decide (consciously or not) to interpret the tickle "training". You can interpret it as either "awakening" ticklishness, or as "getting used to it" so you can resist it.

I also like aucklandtickler's point about unrealistic expectations making us think we are not very ticklish.

You may be right. As far as I'm concerned, I've not been tickled very often as a kid, though being tickled by friends at school a couple of times : the doctor, who could barely examine my so ticklish body, had told my parents to give me frequent tickle sessions...which they never did. I just can remember a time when I began to feel ashamed of being so sensitive... Between 11 or 12, my feet got less ticklish (tickling tests with friends proved it). A few years after, my upperbody was unsuccessfully gangtickled by girls in a camp. Afeterwards, my - not very persevering - ex-wife never managed to make me laugh by tickling me... I don' t understand very well what happened... and what seems to happen now...
