Is it wrong to tickle someone to tears?
Someone asked this in general but I expect more answers here, and this is a good place for moral questions.

If the person tickled is objecting to it then it is wrong. There is fun when both parties are enjoying it.

YES! Tickling is a form of torture. It was used years ago as a form of punishment and as a way to make people talk. I was abused on a regular basis when I was younger by a man who would tickle me to the point where I couldn't breath and would sometimes even become ill afterwards. One time when I decided to stand up to him he dragged me across the room by my hair giving me a giant rug burn on my forehead.(This was how my parents found out). A lot of times people who do tickle someone to theat point are bullies. To this day I can't stand to be tickled.. I know some people will probibly make fun of me for this. But it was a really unpleasent experience.

I think it is. I used to be tickled like that when I was little. I would get to a point that I couldn't breathe. To this day, I shy away from letting anyone touch me because I was tickled so much.

NO is a very strong word.... not all of us are bothered by being tickled, even to tears... but a person must respect the word NO or STOP in touching another.... that is my answer.

OK once more...
the last answer was about tickling
CHILDREN to tears.
This one's about my late partner.
Shortly after we met one day we were
horsing around and found out we were
both very ticklish. We also found out it
was way fun to do to each other, so
one day I caught my buddy asleep, and
carefully tied him up. Then I woke him up
by tickling his feet bottoms, and kept on
until he was in hysterics. When he started
gagging and tears were rolling down his
cheeks, I finally stopped. It took a few
minutes until he could catch his breath,
but then he said "Dam! Why'd you stop?"
So tears aren't always the best indicator!

my daughter cant laugh without going into tears .... it is funny then it becomes annoying .... then it is funny looking back at it
I wonder what the connection with laughter and tears is ... maybe in that moment of loosing control , all our emotions pour out ... I dont know
but tickling is good
*tickle*

If they are tears of laughter sure it would be ok.
If they are tears from being in some form of pain,
then that would be equivilant to torture and if you need someone to tell you if torture is right or wrong, then I guess you probably already work at Guantanmo Bay, so it wouldn't make much of difference to tell you anything,
now would it?

When I was a kid, my dad tickled me to tears, and my mum said that he should stop - so my dad asked me if I wanted him to stop! What a situation I was in!!
So, morally, yes it's wrong if your mum and dad are in competition for your approval!
But otherwise, no.
LOL

Tickling has nothing to do with morals.

Tickling until tears is allright - tickling them till they pee is just wrong.
