More likely they have learned how to control the response. I can usually do that, though if my wife is sneaky enough she can catch me off guard and I lose it!

Ticklishness

Yes. Part of "ticklishness" is physical and part is mental. As you get older (or whenever you 'decide' to be less ticklish) it will decrease.
I'm not sure you ever lose it, but the sensitivity can decrease.
As an example, when you go to tickle a little kid they start laughing and shaking before you even touch them.

My friend says he used to be but now isn't at all. I think it's a matter of choice; I know several adults who are ticklish, and just as many who aren't...
I myself am EXTREMELY ticklish but I kind of like it (to an extent). I wouldn't try to become less ticklish.

It is definitely possible. My nephew was super ticklish as a younger boy and now that he is older, other than his feet, it is impossible to tickle him and get him to laugh.
I believe that a lot has to do with mind over matter. Some people learn how to relax their muscles and phase it out as if it is not happening.
Personally, I hope that I never lose it. I love it too much as a form of affection.

well i'm really ticklish, and can't say you lose it. one probably increases their tollerance which is what happens to me. in the end though i don't think i'll lose it.
