    I think it is a fear of losing control – you cannot tickle yourself, and will be more able to stand tickling from someone you trust.
    If you do not let yourself tense up, you can stop your ticklish reaction. I learnt this once when my mother tried tickling under my feet to get me out of bed. By staying relaxed I managed not to giggle or move.

  2. It’s because we feel something unexpected and our nerves send funny signals to the brain. It’s not something painful so the nerves don’t send pain signals, but it’s a way of telling the brain something is touching the skin. Some people think it’s our way of telling whether something is crawling on us.

  3. @wendy01: Some scientists thing that it plays an important role in social bonding. In helping us form relationships with other people, especially between parents and their children. Others think it’s just a kind of reflex, similar to a startle reflex.

    What do you think? 🙂
