[Anonymous No.16063368]

Super symmetry. You can't reach certain angles.

It's like orgasms, it's impossible to tickle yourself it involves your nerves being touched in ways that your conscious mind isn't expecting

[Anonymous No.16063416]

You can with a prosthetic arm and hand.

If you hold a prosthetic arm under your arm and push to tickle your other armpit, you'll feel tickled. But super symmetry restricts normally tickling yourself.

Death is actually a peaceful experience, you'll wobble and become light headed but the wobble will be filled with energy. Like a program. Because you're contained in this field where you produce dwarf motion, your body must be super symmetrical to your environment(possiblity). You can't possibly tickle yourself moving dwarfed, however, there is a way you can do it with a tool.

>Internal ‘forward’ models use an efference copy of motor commands (Von Holst, 1954) to make a prediction about the sensory consequences of an action (Blakemore, 2003). This comparison can be used to cancel sensory effects of performing the action, compared with identical movements that are externally produced (Blakemore et al., 1999; Weiskrantz et al., 1971). An impairment in such a predictive system would result in a failure to attenuate the sensory consequences of self-produced actions, making them appear indistinguishable from externally generated sensations and engendering the inference that one’s own movements were externally caused (Blakemore et al., 2002; Frith et al., 2000a). This theory provides an elegant explanation for why we can’t tickle ourselves, since we cancel the predicted sensory consequences of the action (Blakemore et al., 2000b). However, patients experiencing passivity phenomena and hallucinations, in whom sensory cancellation is presumed to be impaired, rate self generated stimulation as ticklish (Blakemore et al., 2000a). Impaired cancellation of efference copies has likewise been implicated in the pathophysiology of hallucinations; here internally generated speech is misperceived as externally generated due to this impairment in the cancellation of forward model predictions (Ford and Mathalon, 2005; Ford et al., 2007) .

If you were to mirror infinity...what face would you make?

It's an autonomous reaction to the mismatch between your physical sensations and your mental model of your body. Much like phantom limbs for amputees, and in a way even car/sea/vr sickness. If you tickle yourself, the sensations match your mental model, so no reaction.

>>16063364
cause u are the sauce, and so u expect the sensation, of u touching urself, and so no tickle

[Anonymous No.16063831]

Tickling is related to social grooming. The entire point is someone else doing it to you.

Masturbation is necessary to relieve sexual frustration. Humans are constantly "in heat" so to speak, and as a result we need to be capable of ignoring that sexual desire somehow.

With tickling, it is intended to increase social bonds. Compare the "pleasure" you get just trying to hug yourself vs someone else hugging you. Humans need skin contact from others, it is part of our psychological and social well being.

I tickle myself every night to the thought of your daughter, if you know what I mean

I understand that but isn't gooning more detrimental to spreading your genes than tickling? I mean there are lots of people that aren't ticklish at all.
