Machine Tickler or Self-tickling ?!

[tiedinbluetights]

I've always loved to be tickled when tied-up. However, during self-bondage sessions that is not much of an option. I lack the flexibility to get myself into a hogtie and even if I had the flexibility, tickling my own soles with my own fingers never worked in other contexts anyway. I guess I just can't tickle myself. Luckily, I'm happily married and my wife absolutely loves to tickle me for short periods of times when I'm tied, but it's not something she enjoys doing for as long as I'd love her to have at it.

However, it appears that I am in luck, or soon will be. If you search the Web for "TickleFoot" and "Augmented Human Lab", they've apparently come up with shoe insoles that can tickle on command!

Now, I do not fancy wearing shoes while tied-up, but I'm sure some duct-tape or rope-work could easily secure those insoles to my sensitive feet!

Is it too good to be true? If it is true, I can't wait for these to be available mass-market!

EDIT: I've changed the topic tile by adding "Machine Tickler or " to it. And here is the link (no connections to me nor endorsements by me) to the "machine" in question: TickleFoot link. My comment/question is if this device is ever going to be mass-produced and is it too good to be true (or work as I hope) for a tickle fiend like me!

Doesn't work on me

I think it's pretty much impossible to tickle yourself. The feeling is not the same as when done by someone else.

Yeah, you can't tickle yourself. Kind of a psychological thing I guess.

A machine can potentially work.

The inability to tickle yourself has actually been studied by psychologists. It's impossible for most people. It's generally thought it's because part of being ticklish comes from the surprise, and no matter how you do it, you can't ever really surprise yourself.

That "machine" from "Augmented Human Lab" which they call TickleFoot looks promising, if it is for real and not some elaborate April's Fool joke! As someone who loves being tickled when tied, I hope it's for real!

I agree; what I'm hoping for is that the "TickleFoot" machine (insoles) by "Augmented Human Lab" is for real. If it does as advertised on their website, then it could be programed to tickle at random intervals. So all one needs is to "turn-on" those insoles and leet the anticipation of "when" do the rest.

But I'm insanely ticklish, so if this device is for real, I'd defintiely only use it in the contaxt of a TUG!
