Tickling is applying light touches in order to cause either spasmodic movement or laughter in order to interact with a child, or cheer them up from an unplesant situation.
firstly it's very hard to actually tickle yourself I know this from experience and talking to other people about it but I can't really shed any light on why! -so you will hav…e to find someone else willing to tickle you. -this someone should be someone close to you because tickling random people is frowned upon. once you've got your 'tickle buddy', sit on the sofa and watch a movie or something and just leap at them and tickle them, chances are they'll tickle back and hey presto you've done it! (just as a rule of thumb though, it's not a very masculine thing to do with your mates so if you can help it find a girl to tickle with, unless you are a girl in which case you have the power to tickle anyone!)

Just as some people have a high pain tolerance and some people havea very low pain tolerance, some people are very susceptible tofeather tickling and some people are not. A f…eather on feet (or armpits and other parts of body) can elicitsome giggles and short laughs but it does not tickle nearly as muchas when the tickler gently drags their fingernails across body orgently squeezes ribs.

The tickle response in humans (and other primates) is not fully understood, but ticklish parts of the body react to unexpected touching in the same way as muscular reflexes …respond to unexpected stimuli. One difference is that the tickling is not perceived as pain per se , and may generate laughs rather than screams. Although some body parts may always be "ticklish," many people are not ticklish when they expect to be touched, or when they touch themselves in these same areas. Some people are able to mentally ignore the reflex entirely. Typical ticklish zones include the neck, ears, armpits, ribs, backs of knees, and soles of feet. (MORE)
Because your brain is getting two nerve impulses and has learnt to cancel one set out. One from the hand that is tickling and the other impulses are coming from the place bei…ng tickled. Your brain has learned to cancel one set of impulses out (where you are getting tickled) so you only feel impulses from where you are tickling. Sorry if a bit confusing!! (MORE)
Tickle spots tickle for two distinct reasons. The first is that ticklish spots, such as the sole of the foot, the ribcage and the neck tend to have slightly thinner skin than …non-ticklish spots, such as the arm or leg. Next, the nerve endings in these ticklish areas are much more easily stimulated. (MORE)
