How to win a tickle fight...Fine someone more ticklish than you are. If I ever find a woman more ticklish than me, I'll let you know. LOL

It's a nerve reflex which is unique to you. Some people are ticklish on a specific place on their bodies which triggers a laugh response while others aren't. The same goes for your ear/s, you have a unique nerve ending which triggers a cough response!

Sing to yourself!  Can't make music unless you open your mouth, unless you're a hummer!

depends - I'd say soles of feet, armpits or areas that do not normally get touched by others - tickling is a reaction to uncomfortable touching by others you may not trust completely... it's true - it's why you can not tickle yourself.

Some parts of your body are more ticklish than others because of the sensitivity level of your body.  You may have rough feet and they're less likely to be ticklish, or you may have softer less callused feet and they may be more ticklish

Why can;t you have an orgasm by yourself?\n\nI would actually experiment and investigate yourself to see what you are capable of

The feeling of being tickled is a reaction of not wanting to be touched. This is why the exact same touch is ticklish from one person and not another. Laughing is the response to show that intellectually you don't mind but subconsciously you do. You want to stop because you really do not want to be touched.

Ticklishness is a mind set. I turn it off most of the time cos I can't bear to be tickled; an uncle used to torture me by tickling me till I screamed. Concentrate on how light the persons touch is, how it makes you feel, you don't need drugs or creams, just relax into it.

I love being ticklish and having women tickle me. It's fun and intimate. If anything, it's a plus.

Most of us have a ticklish spot somewhere on our bodies, and it is usually pretty easy to find. For some it's just above the knee, for others it's the back of the neck, and some of us go into fits of laughter if someone grabs our sides. Laughing when another person tickles you is a natural reaction. Scientists have discovered that the feeling experienced when we are tickled causes us to panic and is a natural defense to little creepy crawlers like spiders and bugs. Slight tickles from insects can send a chill through your body letting you know something is crawling on you. \n\nThat same ticklish feeling sends us into a state of panic and elicits a response of uncontrollable laughter if a person tickles us. It's the moment that you least expect to be tickled and are that causes you to feel extremely uneasy and panicked, which leads to the most intense ticklish feeling. Even if you do know that you are about to be tickled, the fear and unease of someone touching and possibly hurting you causes you to laugh. Some people are so ticklish that they begin laughing even before they are touched.

Other than Ms Demanda (who is not weird), people can't because the brain "knows" where the tickling is going to occur and so isn't surprised. That's an antromorphic way of looking at it, but it is basically the answer.\n\nExperiments have been done on this (really) where people had a little gadget that when they pushed a button a little pokey thing would try and tickle them. It didn't work - unless there was a delay built into the device. In other words you push the button and the little pokey thing doesn't poke until 1.3 seconds later.

When somebody tickle you and you laught. That's the protect reaction. But when you try to tickle yourself, your brain knows that's no need to be protected.

It's kind've like the appendix and the tounsils.  You don't really need it, but you have it.  \n\nI guess being ticklish just depends on how sensitive the nerves in your body are.  If you have sensitive nerves then you are probably pretty ticklish and if you don't have sensitive nerves you probably aren't ticklish.  \n\nI'm not really sure what the purpose of being ticklish would be though, unless it's something to make you laugh, and after all who doesn't like a good laugh?  Laughter is healthy!

It's poking me in the heart, and I think it depends on the person trying to tickle it that determines how quickly it activates :)

I would advise your control tolerance being trained...daily set aside time to discipline your reaction to "things that tickle" over a period of time with moderation... "a little tickle is cute" ( : it is not a bad thing to be sensitive as long as you can control it not to be annoying to you or offensive to others.
