so,,, this is one of the biggest impulse decisions i've ever made, but i am making my own tickle blog !! you can call me skunky 💕 i've been a lurker here for several years but now i've decided to ~actually~ join the community! 🌺
i'm 21! i'm fine with minors interacting with my blog but please don't actually discuss tickling with me unless you're 18+. i don't get any sexual feelings from tickling but i still don't feel comfortable discussing it with people who are too far from my own age.
100% queer friendly (i am queer) and if you're not queer friendly then leave me alone!
feel free to send me tickle asks 😌🌺
andddd idk what else to say but this is really exciting!!!!!! 💖💖💖💖
is somebody gonna match my freak? (snuggling in bed under a fuzzy blanket while having a soft and gentle tickle fight, both of us giggling uncontrollably)
i love when tickle scenarios are surprised upon you when you're not expecting it! like im remembering that time we were about to put on a movie and i went to the bathroom and came back out to her patting the pillow that was now on her lap and being told to lay across it and !!!!! hnnnng it feels so fun and flustering to be caught of guard with something that they wanna do to you and it makes me feel really special 🙈💕
unfortunately i need to be tickled until i feel better. Or else i’ll die. a comically large anvil will fall onto my head if im not tickled right this second.
I think I cycle through like my top 3 pretty often (tummy, f3et- I'm sorry, and ??? which changes so often right now I think it's back).
I'll do you one better and go through all I can think of from head to toe. I'll do a read more for lower body tickles if that's not your thing.
Cheeks/Face - come on now, this is so silly. Go back to the pond you goose. You are legally obligated if these are ticklish for you.
Neck - for me it's the cute scrunching up that gets me. And the laughs are different it's almost like a chortle? The laughs where you're really caught off guard and you snicker to not full on belly laugh. So adorable!
Ears - @faleesia is the cutest human alive so that's why. Bullying aside <3, whispering in someone's ticklish ears is so sweet. Or lightly tracing the shell of their ear or soft pinches on the earlobes- CUTE
Shoulder/Collarbones - any spot where it's hard to protect yourself gets a win in my books. You're doing a funky lil dancey dance to get away from the tickles~? Hehehehe and the fact that people are pleasantly surprised they could be that ticklish there is just the cherry on top
Arms/Underarms - such a good spot for light traces and pokes and honestly so much fun to tease. Lots of people have very ticklish triceps/biceps and lightly tickling there can drive the toughest of lees mad. And I will forever love the "I'm not even moving my fingers which are now trapped and you are essentially tickling yourself silly with all the squirming you're doing" trope.
Hands - need I say more. I once had my knees buckle and almost fell to the floor because of palm tickles. And imagining someone else do that is the cutest.
Ribs - the counting is the best tease ever. The uppermost rib is also such a nice hotspot. And gentle scritches and pokes and prods are so much fun to do here.
Tummy - I think this is the most popular spot, and for very good reason. So many ways to tickle. And lets talk about the lower portion right under the bellybutton and how killer a spot that is. Also having people curl in on themselves while you tickle them on their stomach is absolutely unmatched and the cutest thing imaginable.
Back - gentle back traces??? Arguably the spot even people not in the community like. Also the swiping your finger down someones spine and hearing the unearthly screech they do while jumping like 10 feet in the air.
Sides - such a pokeable area. And if you know me, we know how much I think pokes tickle like crazy when done right. Sneaky up on someone from behind and just squeezing their sides until they crumble is just the bee's knees.
Hips - >:(. In order to not be bullied I'll talk about them. If this is a very ticklish spot, it can cause the best squirming reactions ever. And then the need for someone to grab onto your wrists to try (and fail) to pull them away just- /pos
Thighs - inner or outer they're fun spots to either squeeze or lightly scribble. And another spot to really protect yourself unless you start kicking-
Knees - the egg crack move is just a classic and tickling the underside is always so funny to have people experience for the first time
Calves - Please see "cheeks/face"
Feet - another very popular spot. I just think for me it's so far away from the "main" body which would be by the torso, the tickles just feel different the further away you are I think. The electric feeling going all the way up your legs to your brain. And if you have them pinned it makes the sensations even more tickly. Seeing the toes wiggle all wildly is also so cute. Even when giving gentle tickles I just think it's such an animated spot compared to the rest I've listed which is why it's my top 3 spots to tickle.
You know I may just be talking to myself here but people need to remember to do gentle tickles as well as intense ones.
It seems so simple but I know when I get excited to do a tickle scene and think of tickling I immediately think of like… deep tickles. Kneading at sides, digging between toes, clawing at underarms, squeezing hips and thighs…
Which like. Go off, all valid.
But from a sensory standpoint on the Lee’s side that can all be very one note. Which maybe that’s the only note they want played. That can be gone over through negotiations. One of my (long list) of negotiation questions is “how intense do you want to be tickled?”. Sometimes it’s “idk” or “whatever” but sometimes you tailor. Anyway, getting distracted.
If it’s anything and everything, why would you just give intense tickles?
They’re great, don’t get me wrong. I love making a Lee howl with laughter, cry with laughter, and squirm/thrash so that I need to hold them down. But what can also be lovely is using 1-2 fingers on a spot.
You can even tease with that. “Aww, I’m only using one finger along your sole… up and down… up and down.” Or “Come on, I’m only tickling one rib right now? You’ve got lots more… should I move on and count them all?” Or “it’s just two fingers in your armpits. I could do much worse… but I think I’ll let you sit with this for a bit. Aren’t I nice? Now say thank you.”
This provides a few things: it activates nerves for later tickles. It eases your partner into a ticklish mood for later/gets them more in the scene. It lets you be more relaxed as well and not get too tired (tickling can be tiring on both parties!), and it also lets your partner savor a new experience!
Enough to tickle obviously… but also not enough to *need* to pull away. It feels good, almost… but they can’t help but wear a forced smile that grows larger with every stroke and prod. Giggles and laughter bubbling up as if from a stream that can’t be stopped. For how long? Well that’s for me to decide and you to find out I suppose.
also as a ler (though one who has only done fluid, informal sessions that have lots of negotiation/communication on the fly)
sometimes i just want to enjoy my lee's skin for a bit
it's meditative and restful for me while my hands recover from more intense tickles and i still get to enjoy the twitchy giggles while i'm just playing around
leaping into the intense stuff rarely goes as well as i want it to, while warming up and cuddling and teasing makes things MUCH smoother
it can be done in and around casual conversations, especially if my hands just want to wander and wiggle a bit (aka most of the time when i'm in a playful mood)
when desensitization is starting to set in, adjusting the intensity accordingly can fend it off and stretch out the session for quite a bit sometimes
letting my lee catch her breath and recuperate makes the later jumps in intensity hit harder
