Publisher's Synopsis
Everyone has had a tickling experience, but it has not been a respectable topic for social discussion or research. This book could change that. What Sharon Hite did in the 1970s to make female orgasm respectable, Duncan Taub wants to do for female tickling in 2024.
Tickling does not deserve its third-class status; it's a quintessential human activity. Animal tickling resembles human tickling less than animal speech resembles human speech. What is going on there? Why did evolution decide that humans need tickling.
The most obvious answer is that tickling helps with bonding and communication. In some situations, tickling works better than words. This book explores what those situations might be.
The information in this book is from a scientific study involving more than 2,000 women from 17 countries. These women answered in-depth questionnaires or gave detailed responses about their experiences, reactions, and attitudes toward being tickled. This study is unique in the number and diversity of the participants and the breadth of information collected. It will be the primary resource for information about tickling for years to come.
