Tickle torture?

Are there any historical references or examples of tickle torture?

Only by older sisters.

Would you believe there’s a Wikipedia page on the subject?

Fascinating.

Just a couple of observations.

How do you do that exactly?

Also:

That sucks.

I have a feeling that whole article was written by tickling fetishists. In fact, so was this thread. The poster has 2 posts and both are about tickling.

“Honey, let’s play the Grilled Salmon game tonight!”

I heard that a woman in Russia was tickled on the feet, for infidelity, for several hours.

I find that when I concentrate on the activity happening, I cease to be ticklish. Can’t others? I’m quite serious. I always thought of it as a reaction a person can shut off.

I can usually do that as well. It used to drive my GF completely insane because she was always very ticklish, and could not “pay me back” whenever the tickle torture sessions were underway. Being very competitive, however, she did not respond in the way I would have hoped when I gently suggested other potential targets for such ministrations.

Here’s an old article from our very own Cecil:
