"Are you ticklish?" Why is it such a common question?

[Anonymous]

Why do guys ask this? Are most girls ticklish?

I am not ticklish and I think its funny how my boyfriend is so ticklish... I'm not sure if I should laugh about it or what.. does it hurt him? how does it feel?

Are you ticklish and how's is feel to be tickled?

do you think its psychological?

I hate being tickled.. My boyfriend knows this and uses it against me xD

He found out before we were together, so proceded to tickle me all the time.. Until I hit him.. A lot lol.

It's an excuse to get close to each other in a "socially acceptable" way for people that aren't together.

Now, every time he goes to tickle me, it lasts about 5 seconds before he kisses me instead.

It's a rather annoying question. I don't like it. If you tell them that you're ticklish, then they try to tickle you. Wtf? LMAO.. I don't like being tickled, it doesn't even tickle..

I've been with a guy who was very ticklish, it made sex so hard. -.-"

Guys ask if girls are ticklish because it gives them an excuse to touch the girl and make more physical contact more easily.

Because if you ARE ticklish, then that's a free pass for that person to tickle (read: touch) you.. Which is awesome..

I sort of figured that was the case, tickling turns me off though..
