    Ticklish...

    Hello there, I'm David and I'm worried about my very ticklish girlfriend. She is very sensitive and really hates it when she's being tickled. How is this going to translate while having sex? (Obviously, we didn't do it yet.) I would appreciate any tip or experience share from very ticklish girls, or anyone at all that knows something on the subject!

    Some people with sensitive skin hate being tickled, but can easily tolerate and/or enjoy being touched when they aren't specifically being tickled.

    I'm very ticklish too, but a lot of it is mental. If I KNOW my guy is trying to tickle me, I flip out. But if he's just gently stroking or touching me (not TRYING to tickle me) I don't mind. I may get a shiver or two, but I'm not dying of laughter or pulling away.

    Talk to her. Ask her what she likes and how she wants to be touched. Most likely, he ticklishness won't translate into you not being able to touch her during sex without her having a ticklish fit. Again, it's mostly mental. If her mind is on you and the sexy feelings between you, she probably won't be as ticklish as when you're actually trying to tickle her.

      It really depends on where she is ticklish.... If she hates being tickled, I would assume then your not going to tickle her. So if it was to happen, it would be by accident. If it really bothers her, I would use that time to just ask her where she is ticklish so you can avoid the areas. Like kmonte 85 mentioned about her guy... Intimate touch is quite different. My wife is very ticklish too... but when i touch her as were making love, her body reacts much differently as opposed to me just teasing her. It really is a mind set. Do yourself a favor and try not to worry...It all about taking your time getting to know her and her body and enjoying the experience and having fun with her.

        If I'm aroused, my "being ticklish" tends to go away. However, repetitive touching can start it up again, such as; my guy will run his fingertips in a circle on my breast, at first it's fine, but if he continues doing it for a while, it starts to tickle. So he has to switch it up; don't keep doing the same pattern over and over again nonstop.

          It's actually opposite for us. My husband is extremely ticklish. It's taken awhile but he's gradually been able to accept my touch in areas that used to be really ticklish. The trick for us is 1) My pressing slightly harder on his skin than I want to and 2) Watching him tense up, twitch, or make a certain noise that means he's getting tickled, then I just bypass that area and go back to one I know he's always ok with before trying a different non-safe zone.

          I really like touching his skin so we've been gradually trying to get him used to me and it's working bit by bit. I couldn't touch more than his arms, shoulders, and pecs when we first got together. Now it's mostly his hips and legs I can't touch unless Im touching him too lightly without realizing it.

          I'm ticklish, but not nearly as much as he is and the sensation is different when aroused or not. I find I'm a lot more receptive and less ticklish whiles aroused.
