Why am I only ticklish when he tickles me?

Question

My boyfriend of 10 months tickles me, I laugh.

My best friend tickles me, I chuckle.

I hardly ever laugh when getting tickled, unless it's by my boyfriend. It's just something about it, but please, I just want to know. :D

Thanks!

Answer 1

I know, i was the same. I was never ticklish until my boyfriend started tickling me. It's so weird, isn't it? Maybe it's because the extra attention from him makes you more alert, and your brain is so focused on him anything he does makes you feel giddy and excited. You can't help feeling ticklish.

Answer 2

You've almost figured it out: the answer is tickling is sexual!  The reaction is way more intense with a prospective sexual partner.
