Used to describe a person or the act of subtle touching or tickling during sex that elicits sexual arousal more so than the laughter from tickling.

A quality often found in someone who is at times hypersensitive to touch so that a slight caress (in the right place) can send shivers throughout their body.

Kinda like frottage, except not limited to just rubbing or the genital areas or commuter railways =).
