I can't tickle myself....... :(

"Solo tickle is even emptier than solo sex,"  :p

Why can't I?....welll.....

"Tickling binds us together in a laugh-filled give-and-take that may be the basis of all social play."

 :)
"Consider the social choreography of tickle. The ticklee may push away the offending hand of the tickler and escape, only to return, renew the interaction, and counterattack. For infants who cannot yet talk, being tickled, along with the as sociated laughter, is an entrée into social relationships with caregivers. Laughter signals ‘‘I like it; do it again!'' Crying and fending off the other person signals the game has gone too far."

  1. Haha ... well, I may not be able to tickle myself but I sometimes find the things I do deserving of a good laugh ...

  2. Hello Kennedy,
    I guess one can tickle oneself metaphorically...
    A good giggle is wonderful, no matter who or what tickles the fancy :)

  3. i prefer the knismesis style to the gargalesis... i've knis'd myself a few times (with a feather or a fingertip) and it wasn't an empty feeling (didn't have a gigglegasm, but it felt good and gave me a lil smile)... tho, it'd be odd if i went all out with the garg approach, especially in public...

    hey, if i may ask a personal question.... when you get tickled, do your ears wiggle?

  4. Aw Davy, now that's one cute koaala! Wish my ears could wiggle like that...
    You tried a feather? Was the finger tip the only spot you tried? :)

I'm not in just now, but you're welcome to stay a while and doodle me a note. Make yourself a cuppa if you like, otherwise there's some beer in the fridge, and probably some left-over chocolate cake. No pinching my turkish delight though, and whatever you do, don't feed the cat, she's completely loony.
