Talk:Tickling

message: I'm very sceptical about this source. I agree that licking goats and salt water have been used as mentioned, but I heard that this wasn't done for tickling but the rough tongue of the goats led to a situation where the goats licked off the skin and flesh of the prisoner at some point. The salt water on the open skin/flesh added additional pain and if the prisoner survived this could be done as long as the bones where reached. The tickling story may just be an urban legend. Sadly I don't have a reliable source for this available.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.110.229.178 (talk) 20:35, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

message: Why is this sentence "It can be a form of or simply mistaken for sexual harassment." under the fetish section? Doesn't that fit better under Society? I will move it if there are no objections.Magdela 16:39, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I think we should add more pictures of tickling—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.93.21.133 (talk) 08:43, 7 July 2006
I agree with add some more photos. Not like the paintings, but real photos. I tired, but wasn't successful. Jojo Fazbear (talk) 19:06, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

message: should we add that it is possible to tickle yourself by rubbing the tongue against the roof of the mouth?Pray4javon 00:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would guess that this is a knismesis response, and it seems that "light touching" would cover tickling the roof of the mouth too. Also, it may not be possible for everyone to tickle themselves in this way.--DO11.10 01:14, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  self-tickling 

message: I have observed that in my pet (a bearded dragon, thus not even a mammal) when I sometimes stroke his lower feet, he jerks and kicks it, and sometimes scampers away. Originally I thought it was because I perhaps rubbed a scale wrong or because it bothered him when he was shedding, but recently I've been wondering if I've been tickling him. I thought humans were ticklish due to our skin and potentially hair. Are other species ticklish? Is there any way to tell the difference between tickling and hurting?
And I don't see why "tickle me elmo" is linked beyond that it has the word tickle in it.

thread_title: Tickling in other species, and is "Tickle Me Elmo" link really appropriate?

message: My step-Mom went to college, and joined a sorority. She said one of her "tasks" was to get "tattooed", she said she was tied down to a pool table and wrote on from her feet (which are insanely ticklish), to her head. She said it was hell, and it took nearly two hours. She still gets the willies talking about it.
Anyone else heard of this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by EveilWeevil (talk • contribs) 07:06, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  tickle 

message: This is a common reaction among ticklish people.  All one needs to do is wiggle a finger at a ticklish person and make believe that you will tickle them and they have the same reaction as when they are actually touched.  This isn't really made clear enough by "very ticklish people often start laughing before actually being tickled.'  (Whatever that means, anyway.)  70.112.79.142 (talk) 03:23, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Tickling without touching

message: When my gf tickles me in "usual" ticklish spots such as the armpits or the sole of the feet, If I concentrate on the spot and "analyze" its touch (force, speed, location) I can will myself not to feel ticklish at all. Or I can activate the ticklish response by "letting go", i.e, won't anticipate when, where the next touch would come, in conjunction with starting a laugh. Especially the laughing seems to activate the ticklish feeling.
Any analysis and explanation will be welcome, and may contribute to the article.
(And, by the way, my personal responses to pain may have something to do with the ticklish response. I am rather accident prone. I cut myself, bumped into something that sometimes drawn blood. Because they happened too often, I learned to usually suppress the useless and superfluous "ouch!" and "f88k!". Thus, I developed a rather high pain threshold. Once, I had to sew two long cuts on my left instep from a broken beer bottle with 18 stitches, using ordinary sewing needle and thread, with cooking salt solution for disinfection. Until that time I have no idea how tough and chewy human skin can be, and steel needle get so sticky with blood that I had to use a small pliers to push it through when stitching. This rather unfortunate self-treatment occurred because there was nobody around at that time. I watched stitching up before, know the similarity of sewing thread to surgical thread for external wounds, know the infection risks.. and why I have to call emergencies and wait, when I can get it done by the time they get to my place?)Life is short, but the years are long!
