Ever noticed that the theory of "feathers tickle you" isn't true?!
Question: For some people that is definitely the case. However, there are feathers and then there are feathers, and the same holds for people. Some feathers are so wispy as to produce a sensation so light many people will barely notice it, while other feathers are much more stiff and firm. As for people, some are more resposive to light strokes and some to heavy strokes.
I have heard people claim to be "feather ticklish," implying a higher degree of ticklishness, enabling them to be tickled by feathers in a way they wouldn't expect for most. And some people who like being tickled find the feeling of being tickled by feathers almost maddening, as they find it just doesn't quite tickle, just the sensation to be really irritating.
