Answer 1

i hate it i cant breathe and get really mad.

Answer 2

Although I would never admit it publicly, yes I love to be tickled. My wife shows her affection to me by touching and tickling me all the time. Sometimes days can be a non-stop tickling session with me on the losing end because she isn't hardly ticklish at all.

I guess I love to laugh because of all the healing abilities laughter and the endorphins it produces has. She has tickled me so much that I was in tears, but that has only happened once.

When you try to tickle yourself, you do feel it...it may just not tickle as much. I know when scrubbing someting off my soles, it is torture.

There is no documented case of death by tickling. You might have a pre-existing health condition which might, but the worst tickling can do is make you pass out. It is fun trying to push the envelope.

Answer 3

I LOVE to be tickled in consensual tickling encounters. I do not like to be tickled by somebody I am not interested in sharing tickling with.

I disagree with not feeling it when I tickle myself. I can feel it but it does not tickle nearly as much as when I am tickled by somebody else because I am not able to control the way I am tickled when I am tickled by another person. (Have you ever tried to tickle the roof of your mouth with your tongue? You can tickle yourself).

The only way that a person can be tickled to death is if that person has a pre-existing medical condition (such as asthma or a heart condition). For most people, the worst that would happen if they were tickled past their limits is that they might black out due to lack of oxygen. Nobody should ever tickle somebody to that point. Tickling should always be fun and pleasurable for all parties involved and it should always be consensual.

Answer 4

I don't like being tickled

Looked this up, and here is the reason you can't tickle yourself:

The main reason anyone can be tickled is the element of surprise and the feelings that follow - panic, laughter and sensation. When we tickle ourselves we have lost the surprise factor. Our brain knows what is happening so there's no reason to laugh. We can blame this on our cerebellum. The cerebellum is the part of our brain that watches our movements and knows what kind of feelings to expect. When you tickle yourself the cerebellum tells the rest of your brain, "It's just you so don't get excited."

They say laughter is the best medicine so it's too bad we can't tickle ourselves. People with schizophrenia (a psychotic disorder that causes illusions and unrealistic thinking) can't seem to tell the difference between stimulating themselves or having someone else do it. That means there's a good chance they can tickle themselves

Tickled to death? In an otherwise healthy person, no.

Answer 5

Yes, I like being tickled. You can't tickle yourself because the nerves will send a signal to your brain and insist your own action to stop. Basically, its like sending e-mail to yourself. So you can't actually feel the reaction that tickling had executed. You can only be tickled until the point you are unconcious. It is impossibile that you are tickled to death unless if you have a very serious heart attack or disease for that purpose.

Answer 6

If tickling to death was possible, my older brothers would have ended me years ago I remember being pinned down and tickled till I nearly cried. I may have protested at the time but some of my fondest memories come from play fighting with my brothers before being headlocked, "Noogied" and tickled.

One thing I dont understand is why when they used to use the sofa cushions as missile weapons capable of knocking me onto my backside I used to laugh more everytime they got me.

I miss being tickled.

Answer 7

Maybe for the first couple minutes. Then I feel like I will die from it.
I'll bet someone could die from it, because I have lost my breath and passed out a few times when they wouldn't stop.
Luckily when I came to they had stopped, but if they had started again before i could get my breath I would probably have a heart-attack or something.
I have a buddy who they tickled until he went into seizures.
Lucky he didn't swallow his tongue or something.
If the people tickle-torturing you, like sadistic kids, actually sent you into seizures and you died from it, do you think they would tell anyone they tickled you to death?
No way!

Answer 8

I LOVE IT, love it, love it!!!
Tickled to death? I don't know but I often think I will die of pleasure when being tickled. I don't like the sort my brother used to do years ago which was meant to make me wet myself with laughing. Also hate feet being tickled.

My husband often knows when I need comforting about something and he will say "Shall I tickle your back?" Oh, yes, yes, yes, please...
Self-tickling can be a disappointment but I can get some enjoyment out of tickling my own inside, forearm. It isn't anywhere near as good as some doing it to me though.
If I was rich I would employ someone as my own personal tickler!

Answer 9

I absolutely love to be tickled, although I often play hard to get. When I'm being tickled I do everything in my power to make it stop, but when it's over I'm often dissapointed it didn't last longer. -I also LOVE to tickle though, so whenever anyone tickles me I ALWAYS tickle them back!

Answer 10

I love it! My kids like to tickle my legs which makes me scream, but they laugh and keep doing it. It gets to the point where, if you tickle me and you hit a certain nerve, my muscles start to tense up and then even if you look at me, it starts to get ticklish. It's crazy!

Answer 11

I hate being tickled, I can tickle myself - when the sole of your foot is itchy I cant stand touching my feet so I have to rub them on our doormat - a trick taught to me by my ten year old son who is the same as me. I can imagine you could be tickled to death
