It works for me if I brush my fingers really lightly on the bottom of my foot. But thinking about it, it shouldn't really be possible to tickle yourself.

Why do you like tickling yourself ?

You should start up a tickle club or something and get other people to tickle you if you really want..

Although we are not able to tickle ourselves unassisted, there is a way to trick the brain by using a robot tickler. That's right. With all of the know-how of science and technology, a robot has been designed to allow people to tickle themselves. The same British scientists mentioned above have designed a machine that enables you to tickle yourself by remote control. To use the machine, a person lies on their back with their eyes shut. The robot is located near the person with a piece of soft foam attached to a plastic rod that is controlled by a remote control joystick. When the person activates the rod, the robot will react after a short delay. Even with delays as short as a fifth of a second from the time the person activates the rod until the robot tickled the person's hand, subjects have described the sensation as the same as another person tickling them. So, in a sense, you could tickle yourself with a robotic assistant.

Why would you go all that effort to tickle yourself anyway?
That's from the link provided by whiskeyman btw

So that's what tickles your fancy.

Someone was to lie on top of thier arm till it went numb would they be able to use that hand to tickle themselves ?

According to "Fix it friday" on Today FM, you can't tickle yourself because you know exactly where your going to tickle yourself so it takes the surprise element out of it! Whereas when someone else tickles you, you don't know where their gonna tickle you...which results in a surprise and laughter etc etc!!
....So put that in your pipe and smoke it lol!!

You can so tickle yourself, on the roof of your mouth, or by blowing through your lips when your mouth is closed tightly (making that squeek sound).

God, that sounds like some sort of weird fetish-type thing that you'd see featured on 'Eurotrash' or something.

Though, it wouldn't surprise me if there already are tickle clubs in somewhere like Germany or something. I mean, come on, let's face it, those kinky Germans are into all sorts of freaky sh!t, aren't they? :eek:
