Erotic tickling is a practice known as knismolagnia or
tickling
(in English) that results from the use of some techniques in certain areas to produce them with the aim of generating a lot of pleasure in whoever receives them.
"The whole body has millions of nerve innervations that, upon contact, generate pleasure,"
Mauricio J. Strugo, a clinical psychologist and sexologist
, tells
Clarín
.
"And although each person will have to discover which are their most erogenous zones, in the case of erotic tickles it is recommended that they be carried out in those
ultra-sensitive areas such
as the neck, nape, groin, nipples, soles of the feet, "Strugo says.
While clarifying that tickling "must be done with special care so that this practice is in order to eroticize and
not cause laughter
that ends up taking us out of the proposed situation."
Depending on the tastes and sexual preferences of those who practice
tickling
, it can be a full tickling session or a foreplay that helps to get excited.

Previous and something else
"There are people who are attracted to these practices. The search can be one of submission to the muscle spasms that occur, the competition of
'who can take more'
, the pleasure that gives the feeling of power and self-control before the other, or the pleasant enjoyment between tickling and friction of different parts of the body that generate neuro-hormones similar to those of a massage ", says Carla Ileana Galiano, clinical sexologist, specialist in erotic and couple growth.
"It can generate excitement until reaching orgasm, depending on the bond that you have with the other person and in what way these tickles are generated," he adds.
Generally, they usually occur at the beginning of the meeting as a way to light the flame and it is an interesting way for the couple to take
a good time beforehand
before going to intercourse.
"Let us remember, for example, that women require much more time to be prepared to enjoy to the fullest than men, so this practice could be used to warm up engines", adds Strugo.
"On some occasions it can be done as a way to restart the meeting, but
the practice of it should not be exceeded
because it can generate the opposite effect that would end up killing us with laughter and breaking the intended climax", insists Strugo.
Erotic tickling increases body sensoriality.

More sensoriality
Among the benefits of erotic tickling are the increase in body sensoriality, the improvement of proprioception (the ability of our brain to know the exact position of all parts of our body), promote good mood, the state of the ground pelvic, self-esteem and the bond in the couple.
"It is known that as we advance in age
the tickling sensation decreases
, it is a biological issue more than anything since the nerve endings are deteriorating and the skin and the brain are the protagonists in this game," says Galiano.
"Also," he continues, "there are people who say they do not have tickles anywhere and the latter may be, for example, due to
excess tension
, lack of trust with the other person or because the right place to tickle them has not yet been found. . I think we
all have a weak point
. "
When starting to practice erotic tickling, Galiano recommends doing it in a
quiet, warm place with dim light
so as not to activate the alert system that can cause tension.
Also, he says, the rhythm must be continuous, but slow and smooth in order to really feel the tickling sensation.
"The use of breathing is important to manage laughter and pain while tickling occurs, communication must be present before, during and after to chat about what happened and know if there was something that caused discomfort. The idea is to have a Safe word to continue, stop a bit, or stop the session completely ", says the specialist.

It is recommended to use the
fingers, feathers, hair, tissues and vibrators
.
"Like any practice, the first thing is the consent of both parties and this does not necessarily always have to be from talking about it. Many times I can try to do something that I think is going to be pleasant and it works and other times it does not", reflects Strugo .
"In this case, I can try and see with what objects or in which areas these erotic tickles are most effective. The secret is
not to rush
and, at the same time, not to remain stubborn only in that practice. One of the most beautiful things about sexuality is exploration and play, so it is interesting to include tickling and to be able to have fun and expand our sexuality ", he concludes.
