Signs of ticklish distress & what they actually mean
¤ Kicking feet out wildly (when their feet is not even the target)
Congratulations, you have found a bad spot.
The rush of ticklish sensations is signaling their every nerve to RUN and get out of there.
But your cruel fingers and the rustling of the restraints will be a constant reminder that there's no escape.
The lee tenses their muscles up, creating the illusion that the stiffness would get them through the ordeal.
But in practice, neither are they able to hold that pose for long, nor does it offer any protection at all for their exposed tickle spots.
In short, they are saying "I'm not going down without a fight" and making the ler work for it.
When the lee is being a little drama queen and showing their frustration at the situation.
Not every bang/pull against the bondage device is an attempt to break out of it, as they know it is futile.
It's more about openly expressing their displeasure to contain their embarrassment from being put in their place so one-sidedly.
¤ Hiding Face / avoiding eye contact
If being tied down & tickled silly is already humiliating enough, the ability to look away might just be the last face-saving measure a lee could take.
Unfortunately, this only works while one still have some control over their motor functions..
¤ Throwing head left right & back
Evidence that the lee is losing it.
Drive home the idea that they are helpless, and you really got them now.
"No? Not the ribs? Anything but THIS-?"
¤ The laughter of utter defeat
Eyes closed mouth wide open, a clear sign of surrendering to the tickling.
There is little fight left in the lee, either as a result of depleted stamina or their spirits being broken.
Deep belly laughs flow naturally from the diaphragm with little resistance, there's little talking back from the lee if at all.
Every body movement is a mere involuntary response to the unbearable sensations delivered at the tips of your fingers.
They are just, taking it.
Note: the lee deserves praise here. And mercy (only if you decide so
