Noun or verb. An orgasm experienced as a result of prolonged tickling.
Ticklegasm may be elicited by
light teasing stimulation of the genitals with instruments such as fingernails or feathers.
Less obvious, but increasingly accepted areas of the body that can be stimulated to induce ticklegasm include armpits, belly, inner thighs and, most commonly, the soles of the
feet.
Ever increasing evidence exists in online discussion regarding the "
foot-ticklegasm". Currect accepted reasoning for the phenomenon concerns the proximity of the area of the brain responsible for processing sensation in the gentials with the area responsibe for processing sensation in the
feet. Intense tickling of the soles of the
feet can result in "cross-wiring" of the neural pathways resulting in the brain processing the
foot-tickling as if it were genital stimulation and triggering the orgasm reflex.
Indeed, reports suggest that this cross-wiring can have lasting effects, with many stating that after ticklegasm has been experienced once, subsequent subjection to
foot tickling results in quick and obvious sexual arousal, often resulting in orgasm within minutes.
