Overview

Tickling is the opposite of the weather. No one talks about it, but everyone does something. This book doesn't just break the silence-it turns tickling into a scientific phenomenon, and not just any science, but a massive, comprehensive study. What Sharon Hite did for the understanding of female sexuality in the 1970s, Duncan Taub did for the understanding of female tickling in 2024. Hite's study began with the advantage of knowing why women evolved to be sexual. That was easy because it was for the same reason that females of every species evolved to be sexual. No such luck with tickling. Tickling is essentially only a human activity. Animal tickling resembles human tickling less than animal speech resembles human speech. In other words, tickling ranks up there with the most human of characteristics. Because tickling is so common and is quite different in humans than in other animals, it is clear that tickling was, on the whole, beneficial to humans. So, what could that benefit be? For one thing, it surely involves bonding and communication. Of the many human characteristics that contribute to bonding and communication, tickling must be the best in some circumstances. This book describes what these circumstances might be. The information for this book came from a scientific study of more than 2000 women from 17 countries who answered questionnaires. Some of these questionnaires included numerous multiple choice questionnaires; others asked for detailed responses to questions about the women's experiences, reactions, and attitudes toward being tickled.
