do you have sympathy for someone getting helplessly tickled?

Only if they are involved in non-consensual tickling where they do not want to be tickled but they have no choice. That boils down to a lack of respect by the tickler.
There are a lot of extremely ticklish people who love to be tickled to (or past) their limits and I do not feel sorry for them because they enjoy the euphoria that they experience from such a tickle rush.

I personally do not. My wife is hardly ticklish at all, but she used to be. Once she and her daughter found out I was ticklish, they both have been merciless. My wife wishes she could be ticklish again and advises me that I am lucky to be ticklish. It's like holding on to playful activities when you were little. I know many people who think being ticklish is a blessing. To tell you the truth, I am horribly ticklish and I wouldn't change it for the world. When my wife tickles me, she is showing how much she loves me and wants to bathe me in attention.

Wow, after reading some of the answers you got, I'll never look at tickling the same way ever again. I didn't realize it was such a "violent" activity. I always saw it as just playful fun. ANYWAYS, to answer your question....
Sometimes I do feel so much sympathy so someone under "Tickle attack". I know how much I "hate" (but at times, like) being tickled. It's fun and all but yet it's kinda like torture at the same time.
Whenever my boyfriend tickles the crap out of my daughter she always screams and begs for me to "save" her. But as soon as he stops, she's screaming for someone to tickle her again. It's ADORABLE but I can't help but feel so bad for her! LOL

Sympathy would have to queue up behind envy.
Seriously, in a non-consensual situation going badly for someone, that would be rather different, but luckily that sort of encounter is rarely anything I've come across.

I don't feel sorry for the extremelyu ticklish, they have more senstive nerves and that can come in handy.....
I do feel sorry for those being tickle tortured though.

My mother once told me that tickling is a form of aggression. It is MEAN to tickle someone, especially if that person has asked you not to. Tickling is a way to be mean to someone and still feel okay about yourself because you didn't actually bruise them or cut them or cause them to bleed. When I see someone tickling someone else, I know that is what they are doing. And to answer your question, yes, I feel sorry for that person. Someone is taking out their angst on that person, and that person has very little way to defend themself. If they did try to defend themself, they would be viewed as being aggressive, but the tickler is not usually viewed that way. The tickler is viewed in a positive light, as just "playing around", but tickling is NOT playing around.
