The Tickle Table - Indica 2

Description:

Scientific Tickling Study: Longitudinal Analysis of Indica's Foot Sensitivity (2-Year Follow-Up)

Abstract:
This study evaluates longitudinal changes in the pedal knismesis and gargalesis response of subject Indica (F, 28, veteran ticklee) following a 24-month hiatus from Fettish Labs’ standardized stimulation protocols.

Hypothesis:
Null Hypothesis (H₀): Ticklishness remains constant post-24-month absence.
Alternative Hypotheses (H₁): Ticklishness either significantly increases (sensory hypersensitivity) or decreases (sensory adaptation).

Methodology:

1. Apparatus & Restraints:
• Tickle Table v2 with full-body sheath immobilization.
• Steel ankle cuffs + T-Bar ratcheting toe suspension (maximal sole exposure, 90° flexion).
2. Stimulation Phases:
• Phase 1 (00:00–02:00): Bastinado prep via riding crop strikes (sole-focused, 30 strikes/min) to heighten nociceptor sensitivity.
• Phase 2 (02:00–04:00): Digital manipulation (index/middle fingers, 4Hz circular strokes) applied to arches/heel creases.
• Phase 3 (04:00–07:00): T-Drone 2.0 deployment [aborted due to mechanical failure]. Reversion to digital stimulation (escalating pressure).
• Phase 4 (07:00–08:00): D-Sphere (frequency: 120Hz) induced sustained gargalesis (laughter threshold: 5.2 sec latency).
• Phase 5 (08:00–10:00): Knismological Confusion Protocol – Shift to light grazing (vibrating toothbrush, 60Hz; experimental silicone filaments).
• Phase 6 (10:00–12:00): SnS Shredder (nylon bristles, 200 Strokes Per Minute (SPM)) scrubbed longitudinally/latitudinally along soles.

Results:

• Laughter Frequency: 92% of stimuli elicited reflexive cackling (vs. 89% in prior study). 
• Escapism Attempts: 14% increase in pelvic thrashing (p < 0.05). 
• Verbal Feedback: 78% incomplete staggered attempts at sentence structure. (vs. 65% historically).  

Conclusion:
Reject H₀. Indica’s ticklishness increased significantly (p = 0.03), suggesting latent sensory amplification. Fettish Labs’ protocols remain 98.7% effective in re-establishing hyper-responsiveness post-absence.
