Tickle Therapy vs. Tickle Torture
For many people, tickling is no laughing matter. It is not uncommon for people to have negative experiences with tickling in early life. Because tickling is a social activity that elicits a laughter response, it is often seen as a harmless way to interact with friends and family members, However, if that contact is unwanted or more than the recipient is comfortable with, such an act can be harmful and have lasting consequences.
Tickle torture has a history of use in both Eastern and Western cultures. It is often used to punish or torture in a way that leaves no physical evidence. The distress caused by extreme tickling is no different than panic, and when pushed to the limits, it can do incredible harm to the psyche. It is no surprise then, that many have such a strong reaction to being tickled.
What distinguishes tickle therapy from this harmful behavior is very simple: communication, and consent. When done with care, tickling is a fantastic way to receive the benefits of touch, as well as laughter, all for less than the price of a massage. Every body is unique, and varies in sensitivity and tolerance. If we work together, I will help you find the ideal experience that will benefit your body and mind.
Do you have a busy schedule? Always running around? Imagine and hour of laying comfortably, while I draw on your back with soft paintbrushes. Just me, making you the center of my universe… your comfort and pleasure my only concern. You can relax, focus on the sensation, and even doze off if you are so inclined.
