Why are we ticklish?
Do you ever wonder why your ticklish and some people aren't? What makes us ticklish? Are you ticklish? What's the oddest part of your body thats ticklish?
*Me, I am extremely ticklish on the back of my neck* How about you? |

I am sooo ticklish!
If I go in for a massage, it's so hard for me not to crack up half the time!!! Foot massages are so yummy, but I find myself giggling during those too. Not sure why we are ticklish.. has to do with a hypersensitivity reaction to touch in certain areas. I'm not sure why feet and sides of the trunk are so ticklish. ? Or why it causes us to laugh.

Discover Magazine just had a feature on laughter, which also covers tickling. Well, back in April. But I'm behind in my reading. Basically, they say it is to foster social interaction.

Shyla hasn't been ticklish before she was with me, so I assume some trust has to be there for someone to be ticklish also. I for one am *very* ticklish and I try to keep it in or I would pee myself,

I'm very ticklish...it's not a question of *where* I'm being tickled, it's *how*. Digging your fingers in my side...not so much. But a light, grazing touch to the underside of my arm. *shiver*

I'm only ticklish with certain people, sounds silly maybe, but when my girlfriend wants to overpower me all she has to is tickle me and i cave, but with other people they just don't seem to have the touch...maybe i just like to feel overpowered by a dominant female!

I am far far far far far too ticklish! Seriously, I'm pretty much ticklish everywhere (with the exception of some of the most common places interestingly enough). Makes it pretty hard to cuddle or anything like that with anyone because it always tickles!!!

Oh gosh I'm terrrrribly ticklish! I definately start cracking up before my feet (especially) are touched! I usually can tickle my own feet =/ It makes it difficult washing them in the shower sometimes haha. Only place that isn't ticklish is my neck for some reason, hmm!
Luckily my hubby is ticklish, too >=D |

I actually can kinda turn it on and off, sometimes the armpit is sensitive, and sometimes I can just sit there and let someone go to town and barely twitch - except the balls of my feet, they are hyper-sensitive for some reason.

Worse yet, I forgot to mention - me being ticklish isn't a "fun" thing. I get violent. I honestly can't control myself. So if onodrim ever tickles me I sincerely tell her to stop because I don't know where I may flail my fists (Now you know what happened if she ever disappears )
