Q&A for How to Tickle Yourself

It is more common to be ticklish on your neck and, in some cases, ears. However, very light touches anywhere on your body can produce a tickling sensation.

No, you should not tickle animals. However, you can pet them if they are friendly.

Yes, it is.

Yes, vibrations from various devices can cause ticklish sensations.

You can lightly brush objects like an electric tooth brush, a detangling brush or a feather on your feet. It won't be as intense but you will feel a tickle like sensation.

Ask someone to tickle you everywhere, and whichever place makes you laugh the most, that is your ticklish spot.

I don't think hypnosis in the sense you are referring to is real. If it is real, then I guess it would depend on the type of hypnosis. If it can trick your brain into thinking the item tickling you is not part of you, then there is a possibility.

An electric toothbrush should do the trick, or any object that vibrates.

Use something soft, like a feather and draw circles lightly. There is also an exception to the rule that you can't tickle yourself: if your tummy is extremely ticklish, then your body might not trust your touch there so much, leaving your tummy ticklish even to your own tickling.
