I think there are two kinds of people in life...

[zionsstarfish]

...people who hate being tickled, and people who don't get (and possibly will never get) why tickling the aforementioned type of people is a Really Bad Idea.

word! i'm actually one of those people who makes a big fuss but seekritly loves being tickled. but, if you don't like it...you don't like it. and people should lay off. ;D

[zionsstarfish]

Hehehe! No secret, I am not one of those people, nope!

[phineasjones]

i think you're right. my rachael is type A and i'm type B. i don't think i'll ever stop tickling her and she'll never stop smacking me for it.

Honestly, I don't mind a quick grab around the tummy. But any extended tickling gets the brain thinking that it had better defend itself, which has resulted in elbows to the (read: his!) eye. And he STILL hasn't learned. AHAHAHAH. I should aim lower next time ;)

[zionsstarfish]

I KNOOOOOOOOOW.

I've flailed around and actually smacked him in the face with my elbow. You'd think he would have learned by now :P

[hearts_n_roses]

I'm most definately in the first group. I assume you are too.

[zionsstarfish]

Yup. I honestly don't mind a quick tummy grab. But anything beyond, say, two seconds, brings out the fight-or-flight reflex :P

When I used to be ticklish, I hated being tickled. Now that I'm not ticklish at all, I still hate it. But now I'm able to glare at and smack anyone who tries without the loathesome spasmodic reactions interfering.

[zionsstarfish]

How did you stop being ticklish?

I need to work on my aim while flailing ;)

I'm not really sure. I know it goes as far back as 1995, when Brianna was born. My ex and I had broken up for about a year and a half in which I got pregnant and had Brianna, and when we got back together, he tried tickling me, and I smacked him. And he always pouted afterward about me no longer being ticklish.
