A topic about tickling…

[LadyEmeraude]

I read that being tickled stimulates your hypothalamus, the area of the brain in charge of your emotional reactions, and your fight or flight and pain responses.

Anything about tickling..

 

[Nathan]

Tickling is creepy.

 

[Knight]

As with other stuff it depends on the intent. My kids used to anticipate the tickle monster. My wife doesn't like to be tickled. Me I don't usually feel anything does that mean my hypothalamus is not paying attention?

Tickling is either good or not good. Context is needed here.

If a couple both like being tickled, then it's a wonderful prelude to other wonderful actions.
Me, I love to be tickled, but sadly these days I can't manage the other actions.

I think tickling is cute but it depends on who is doing it to whom and why. I grew up with healthy ticklers. My dad tickled me because I loved it and it was a show of affection so it was all good.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Tickling CAN definitely be creepy.
When I was younger we used to visit people my dad used to work with and one of them was a child molester. He used to use tickling me as an excuse to touch me inappropriately. There was no longer any guessing what his intentions were.

Edited. I don’t want to make others feel uncomfortable which I know I did.
Sorry guys.

Likkle Grandson yells 'Stop it stop it no no...' if I tickle him. Then 'Why did you stop?' and runs away to be chased

I don’t react to tickling.

Tickling's funny for about five seconds, longer than that it becomes torture. I'm not a tickler, I never liked being tickled, and I never let anyone tickle my kids longer than my five second rule.

I had a much older cousin when I-was 11 years old. His attempts at tickling me, were not on any level acceptable, finally my mom took notice. It stopped, cousin did not visit anymore.

Disclaimer: This is only German politics, thus it doesn't interfere with the politics of the U.S. I think it should not be deleted. And it's about tickling and possible torture.

Well, shortly after the Federal Republic of Germany was founded in the late 1940s, there were two politicians. Konrad Adenauer of the conservative party CDU (Christlich Demokratische Union = Christian Democratic Union) and Eugen Schumacher of the left SPD (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands = Social Democratic Party of Germany) which were opponents.

Schumacher said to Adenauer " I think you'd kill me" and Adenauer answered "I'll tickle you to death!".
Nevertheless both were friends and did not have these hate the leftists are now showing to the conservatives.

Politically I was left for most of my life but since 2005 (the era of Merkel as a chancellor) I can't stand them anymore. Don't forget that our former chancellor Merkel was socialized in the GDR. Her membership in the CDU was camouflage, since she always was and still is a flawless communist.

By the way, it was an excellent idea of the CIA to monitor Merkel's phone calls. I wouldn't have trusted her in the least also.

Love this @Naturally!

After three kids, I was thinking. . . stress incontinence.

Tickling seems to be an acceptable way of grooming kids to be molested. It’s a good thing your mom noticed. Mine didn’t care enough.

 

[LadyEmeraude]

I can tolerate just light tickling
and of course who’s doing the tickling…

Like you say too @ PeppermintPatty. An acceptable way by some of grooming kids to be molested, of course from the ones with ill intentions..

 

[LadyEmeraude]

So is said that depending on its intensity and duration, tickling can, in fact, lead to death from asphyxia, brain aneurysms, or other stress-related injuries, as people are unable to regulate their breathing under the stress of tickling. In essence, what is 'fun and games' for one, may cause panic attacks for another.
