Did the Ticklers Go Too Far?
[Alpenhorn 2017]

==========

Is it amazing that you can go from maximum mortification to none at all in five seconds? First: 12-year-old Laszlo was hanging there starkers, ready to die of shame. His classmates stood there looking at his bare feet, his underarms, his ribs, his belly, his willy, his goolies, his bum, and everything else---everything! Tears of embarrassment were flowing down his cheeks. But then: The tickling started and he could think only of that.

[Court transcript]
[Abdul]

Q: Abdul, I understand you originated the Ticklism game.

A: Me and Joe. Of course we dint call it that.

Q: What did you call it?

A: It dint have a name. It wer just something we did sometimes during recess at school.

Q: Joe said that he and you quit playing the game. Why was that?

A: We just done it to have fun. But when all the other kids joined, it wer too competitive. Then it wern’t fun no more. So we quit. After all, there be lots of other things to do on the school playground.

Q: Tell us about Ticklism---excuse me, about the game---when you started it.

A: OK. Joe would hang from the ladder, and I would...

Q: Excuse me, Abdul. Please describe this “ladder” for the court.

A: Oh, aye. It wer not a ladder used for climbing. It wer built so that it be horizontal. There be some steps at the ends you could go up and down. Then you---when you was using it as it wer intended---you would grab one rung with one hand, swing ahead, grab the next rung with the other hand, and go acrost to the other side. Hand-over-hand, they calls it.

Q: So when you were hanging from the ladder, your feet would not reach the ground?

A: Aye, that’s right.

Q: But what if you lost your grip and you fell?

A: That wer part of the fun. To see if you could make it all the way acrost. Besides, it wern’t very high. And down below, it wer filled in with wood chips, and that would cushion you if you fell.

Q: OK, I think the court understands the “ladder” now? Yes, Your Honor? Go ahead: tell us about the game.

A: Joe would jump up and grab the two middle rungs of the ladder with his hands, and hang there. Then I would tickle him. Until he couldn’t take it no more and fell to the ground. We would both be laughing by then. Then we would switch. I would hang from the ladder, and Joe would tickle me.

Q: How did you tickle?

A: Mostly I would tickle his ribs.

Q: Joe told us there was no touching?

A: Right. I mean I would wiggle my fingers along the sides of his T-shirt. That’s what I mean by tickling his ribs.

Q: So there was touching?

A: Joe probably meant there wer no skin-to-skin touching.

Q: What other tickling was allowed?

A: Anything we wanted. Except skin-to-skin.

Q: For example?

A: Well, there wer a feather Joe got somewheres. We could use that for ticking on bare skin.

Q: What bare skin?

A: Well, Joe would tickle my face. Under my chin I wer really ticklish. Behind my ears. My arms. And if I wer wearing shorts, he could tickle my legs.

Q: What else?

A: Well, you know that Joe be fat.

Q: We prefer to say “pleasingly plump”.

A: Sorry, I wer not referring to the judge.

Q: Go on: Joe was plump...

A: Aye. And when his arms was above his head to hang from the ladder, there might be some bare belly showing. Between his shirt and his trousers.

Q: How much?

A: I don’t know. Ten centimeters? Five?

Q: OK.

A: So I could tickle him there.

Q: With the feather?

A: Aye. Another way wer by blowing. Little puffs like this... Joe couldn’t take that for very long.

Q: Abdul, thank you for your cooperation. Is there anything else you would like to tell us?

A: Aye. We just did it to have fun. Even when it wer too competitive for me and Joe, those kids was just having fun, too. There be no reason for a trial.

Q: After these interviews, the judge will decide whether to hold a trial. A charge has been lodged, so the court must follow the law.

A: That’s *********

Q: The court reporter will strike the vulgar language.

===========

Of course the judge should dismiss the case. But the Burgermeister’s mother saw something. She lives across the street from the school. If she goes into her attic and uses binoculars... So we end up going through this charade.

==========

What’ya doing?

Just playing a game.

Can I play?

Sure.

What do I do?

Jump up there and grab two rungs. Now I tickle you, and you try to stay as long as you can.

OK.

--- ---

That was fun! We were all laughing. Now what?

Now Abdul will hang up there, and you tickle him.

OK.

--- ---

What was that?

Just a game.

Can I try?

Why not?

[Court transcript]
[Raj]

Q: Raj, when you first started playing Ticklism, how many kids were there?

A: Probably about ten on any one day. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Kids came whenever they wanted.

Q: These were only kids from your class?

A: From the three Year 6 classes. Other ages had recess at different times. Or we could just tell the little kids to go away. Year 6 are the big bosses in the schoolyard!

Q: Tell us about the game when you started playing.

A: When I first tried it, the rules were already pretty complicated. There was a “ticklee” who would hang by his or her hands...

Q: So there were already girls in the game?

A: Oh, yes. Probably about half.

Q: Go on.

A: A ticklee would hang by his or her hands from the ladder. There was a “tickler” who would do the tickling. Two kids had timer apps on their watches, so one of them would time how long it took.

Q: How long for what?

A: How long until the ticklee let go and fell. Then the previous ticklee would be the next tickler, and the next person would come and be the new ticklee.

Q: What next person?

A: Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell that part. We had a deck of cards, anyone who wanted to be the next ticklee would draw one, and the high card would win.

Q: A new drawing each time?

A: Yeah. Maybe five to seven ticklees would fit into one recess.

Q: So some kids might not get a chance?

A: Well, just watching was fun, too. We would all be laughing.

Q: What was the point of timing?

A: Well, later...

Q: No, when you first started, what was the point?

A: Just to see who got the record. The ticklee would try to go as long as possible. The tickler would try to make it as short as possible. But later...

Q: That’s enough for now. We will discuss later events at another time. ... Your witness.

Q: Hello, Raj. Next I will ask you some questions.

A: OK.

Q: Tell me about the “groping” controversy.

A: Will I get in trouble?

Q: No, you are not on trial. What you say here cannot be used against you.

A: OK. There was this girl in our class, Alia. Everyone knew she was getting bazongas. Can I say that?

Q: Yes. Let the record show that “bazongas” means “breasts”. Everyone knew? How?

A: Well, we don’t have any blind kids in our class.

Q: So she wasn’t undressing or flaunting herself?

A: No, no. She just wore T-shirts like the rest of us. So her bazongas would be making the front poke out, like.

Q: OK, go on.

A: So, one day Alia was the ticklee and I was the tickler. Without thinking much about it, I moved from ticking her ribs to feeling her front. After all, I was wondering about them.

Q: What was her reaction?

A: She let go and that stopped time. She said, ‘That’s not tickling, that’s groping.’ I said I was sorry.

Q: And that was the end of it?

A: Oh, no. The discussion continued for many days. How can we make rules that allow ticking, but not groping?

Q: And the conclusion?

A: That it was impossible. There was no dividing line. Anyone who wanted to be tickled would be subject to groping as well.

Q: The girls objected?

A: No, actually the girls were in favor of this. Later Mikey found out why.

Q: Yes, Your Honor, we will interview Mikey later. Raj, what happened with Mikey?

A: He was groped by one of the girls, Elise I think.

Q: Elise felt Mikey’s chest?

A: No, silly. She groped him here.

Q: Raj! Sit down, please! We don’t want a demonstration. Describe it in words.

A: Oh. She groped his willy and his goolies. Can I say that?

Q: Yes, we will prepare a glossary for the court to use. What did Mikey do when he was groped?

A: Well, he let go right away and dropped down. But since he was one of the ones who argued for allowing groping, he admitted he could not object.

Q: And so groping became wide-spread?

A: Yeah.

Q: And the result was?

A: In time, everyone who was curious had felt all those who were still playing Ticklism.

Q: So you groped all the girls?

A: I won’t get in trouble?

Q: You won’t get in trouble.

A: I groped all the girls. And all the boys. Of course Alia, who had the biggest bazongas. Two other girls were starting to develop. And among the boys, Quincy was by far...

Q: All right, we don’t need names. Everyone groped you, too? Did you consider dropping out of the game before that happened?

A: Some kids dropped out. But I didn’t. I was too curious. Them groping me was just the price for me groping them.

Q: So, some kids dropped out. How large was the group then?

A: Some dropped out. But more joined. So by then it was up to maybe 15.

Q: Out of how many?

A: All three Year 6 classes, that’s 80 I think.

[end of transcript]

==========

Elise was my tickler this time. I braced myself, since she was usually brutal with the tickling. She tickled the sides of my T-shirt. Then the sides of my shorts. Then grabbed the front of my shorts and felt my willy. And my goolies. I let go and dropped down.

‘Mikey, why did you let go?’ someone asked me.

‘She surprised me,’ I said.

‘Well,’ Alia taunted. ‘If you can grope us, then of course we can grope you.’

She was right.

==========

[Expert testimony, child psychologist]

There was nothing sexual about it. They were not sex-crazed adults. Or horny teen-agers. They were just curious kids. Curiosity about the bodies of others is natural, clear back to age 1 or 2.

==============

[Court transcript]
[Elise]

Q: So you girls groped all the boys?

A: Of course. And you know Quincy was...

Q: OK Elise, let’s go to the next question. Tell about the timing change for bare feet.

A: There was this girl, Hannah. She was the champion ticklee. She didn’t mind being groped. She stood up to tickling practically indefinitely. Nothing in our toolkit helped. So...

Q: Before you go on. What toolkit?

A: I guess it started with just a feather. But by then we had a whole collection of implements to use for tickling. Different kinds of paper and cloth. Soft brushes. Even a big feather-duster that someone got from their grandmother. Anyone could use these for tickling.

Q: OK. Hannah was not ticklish?

A: Right. So one day I was the ticker and Hannah was the ticklee. I just said: ‘Barefoot! I want to tickle your bare feet.’ I mean: nothing else had worked.

Q: So she took off her shoes?

A: Of course not. All the players argued about it for days. We instigated a new rule for that.

Q: Tell us the barefoot rule.

A: OK, this is where the timing comes in. If a ticklee exceeded 100 seconds, then she was the next tickler, and she could ask the new ticklee to be barefoot.

Q: And the ticklee had to do it?

A: No, the ticklee could refuse, and lose her turn. So then we would draw again. Or I guess even then we would just go to the second-highest card from the original draw.

Q: And the third, and the fourth?

A: Right, until someone agreed to be barefoot ticklee.

Q: Why would anyone ever agree?

A: That’s the other part of the new rule. A barefoot ticklee gets double the time.

Q: So if the barefoot ticklee let go of the ladder after 30 seconds...

A: It would count as 60 seconds. Or we said 60 “points”.

Q: And what happened to Hannah?

A: She was no match for the feather-duster on the soles her bare feet! She squirmed, but we got so that we could tickle her anyway.

The court took a recess for lunch.

[Court transcript]
[Alia]

Q: So let’s review the timing rules up to then.

A: The tickler needs 100 points to ask for barefoot ticklee, and 200 to ask for bareleg ticklee.

Q: And you cannot ask for bareleg only.

A: Right, for 200 you get both.

Q: And the timings...

A: Barefoot times are doubled, bareleg times are quadrupled.

Q: Bareleg made the game more interesting?

A: You bet! Besides finding some people with ticklish spots on their legs... We could really grope the boys’ willies and goolies much better when they had on only their drawers . Like, I could feel that Quincy was...

Q: None of that.

A: But the main reason I kept coming was Quincy’s amazing...

Q: Oooookay. Next question. What was next after bareleg?

A: Topless. A tickler with 500 points can ask for topless ticklees. Of course that includes barefoot and bareleg. So the ticklee would have on only his drawers. Nothing else. And we had strict rules about what could be counted as “drawers”. And topless tickling seconds are multiplied by six.

Q: Of course the girls refused to be topless?

A: Are you kidding? We kept going. After everyone had felt me, I didn’t see much difference in letting them see. We got much better results tickling ribs and bellies and underarms using our toolkit on the bare skin than we had been getting through a shirt.

Q: And tickling of bare breasts?

A: Well, that I didn’t expect. Elise did it to me first. One of the brushes in our toolkit seemed just right to give me erect nipples.

Q: Were’t you embarrassed by that?

A: Maybe at first. The boys (and girls, too) all wanted to see it, and try it on me when they were tickler.

Q: You were OK with that?

A: Hey, if they spent time on my nipples, it just added up to more time on the clock for me.

Q: Let’s see. I’m supposed to ask you about “screeners”.

A: Right. When we were taking off more and more clothes, we thought maybe some “spoil-sport” teacher would see it and make us stop. So we always had a double row of kids stand between the ticklee and the rest of the playground. They were our screeners.

Q: And no one ever came over there to see what was going on?

A: Yes, they came. But we had lookouts to warn us. We would switch to fully-clothed until they went away again.

The court took a recess for “personal reasons”.

[Court transcript]
[Laszlo]

Q: The next rule was “starkers”?

A: Right. A tickler with 1000 points could ask for the ticklee to go starkers. And the times would be multiplied by ten.

Q: And, just to be clear, “starkers” means...

A: Totally naked. Not a stitch.

Q: Why did anyone agree to this new rule?

A: Well, it depends on which side you imagine you are on. You don’t want to be starkers, but you do want to see others starkers. Right? And tickle them. Besides, 1000 points would be nearly impossible. I mean, 1000 seconds is over 15 minutes. Even with no tickling, you can’t hang from the ladder that long!

Q: That’s without the multipliers.

A: Right. For a shirtless ticklee, 1000 points is only 167 seconds, less than three minutes.

Q: So it could happen?

A: Yes, and it did happen.

Q: And you were the first starkers ticklee?

A: Oh, no. When Elise was the first to get over 1000 points, and said ‘Starkers,’ all the boys with high cards declined.

Q: Why?

A: Isn’t it obvious? Because they did not want anyone seeing their willies!

Q: So it was only girls who went starkers. Did you like that?

A: At first. But there was nothing much to see---except that some of the girls had a little bit of hair down there. And they did not seem to be any more ticklish. According to our health book, all the interesting parts for girls are hidden inside. It’s so unfair: theirs are hidden, but ours are right there easy to see as soon as we go starkers.

Q: And later?

A: We realized that if the boys always refused, then Ticklism would turn into a girls-only game.

Q: So you hatched a conspiracy?

A: Don’t call it that. Just five boys met after school and talked about what could be done. We agreed that when one of us was called on to go starkers, we would do it.

Q: And you agreed?

A: Yes. We needed to stop the girls’ monopoly. And there was only a one in five chance the boy would be me.

Q: So. You were the first boy to go starkers in Ticklism.

A: Unfortunately, yes.

==========

The court took another recess for “personal reasons”.

==========

Is it amazing that you can go from maximum mortification to none at all in five seconds? First: I was hanging there starkers, ready to die of shame. My classmates stood there looking at my bare feet, my underarms, my ribs, my belly, my willy, my goolies, my bum, and everything else---everything! Tears of embarrassment were flowing down my cheeks. But then: The tickling started and I could think only of that.

===========

Finally. A boy agreed to do it. Laszlo would be starkers! I could hardly wait to see that. I had previously groped him more than once, so I knew his willy and goolies were small. But all us girls were waiting eagerly. (And the boys, too, I guess.)

Laszlo undressed, but stood there with his hands over his crotch. Then he quickly jumped up, grabbed the ladder, and said ‘Go’. He was taking it hard: he was blushing and sobbing.

His goolies were tiny, like marbles. But the wrinkled skin held them tight against his body. His willy was even smaller than I had thought. Less than 3 centimeters long. ‘That’s too small to be interesting,’ I thought.

Then the tickling began. Laszlo was squirming because of that. And his willy was really jiggling around. ‘Not too small at all: Laszlo’s willy is very exciting when it does this,’ I said to myself.

I concluded that starkers boys would be more revealing than girls. And more fun to watch.

I hoped the next boy going starkers would be soon!

And it was---just the next day. I was tickler, and Mikey was ticklee. He got undressed, and jumped up saying ‘Go.’ For Laszlo, I had just been an observer, two or three meters away. But now I could get as close as I wanted.

I reached out my hand to feel, but stopped myself---no skin-to-skin touching! Only looking. Mikey’s goolies seemed maybe the size of gumballs. They hung down a bit from his body. Mikey’s lovely willy was 5 centimeters long, and chubby. It was a darker color than the skin nearby.

I bent down to examine how Mikey’s foreskin puckered at the end, then I remembered that I was supposed to be tickling not just gawking! I should be making that willy wiggle and jump about. I was turning to choose something from the toolkit, when Mikey fell. He had fainted!

Some of the kids got his clothes back on him and took him in to the school nurse. They just told her that Mikey had fainted on the playground. Which was the truth.

As the days passed, we saw (and tickled) more boys starkers. I was never so impatient waiting for recess to come, as during those two magical weeks of starkers boys.

Bigger willies were extra exciting to me. So of course I began thinking about Quincy!

My big brother says: wait a few years. The girls will get bigger, bouncier bazongas, which will be exciting to watch. But he says when he asks girls his age, none of them ever agrees to topless tickling.

[Court transcript]
[Mikey]

Q: Mikey, do you like the game Ticklism?

A: I like it a lot. I would still be playing it if they would let us.

Q: But were there bad things about it? Like the first time you were groped?

A: Nah. That was more of a surprise. But we got used to the groping, and after a while we thought it was fun.

Q: And what about starkers? Was that bad for you?

A: At first, yes. But after a while we thought that was fun, too.

Q: But your first time was not fun.

A: Well, no.

Q: Tell us about your first time being tickled starkers.

A: OK. Let’s see ... How to begin ...

Q: Mikey, you seem to be squirming. Is it unpleasant to remember?

A: No, it’s OK.

Q: When you are ready.

A: When the starkers rule began, and the boys refused to do it, some of us thought that Ticklism would turn into girls only. But the game was such fun, we did not want that to happen. So I agreed with some of the other boys that we would do it.

Q: Do what?

A: Go starkers. If the tickler asked.

Q: The first starkers boy was...

A: Laszlo. It was really bad for him with all of us looking at his naked body. But when the tickling started, he did very well. And at the end, when he had a very good score, he struck a “victory” pose. That was pretty funny, watching his face change when he remembered that he was naked.

Q: But now I am asking about your first time. Is that enough delay?

A: I remembered how it had been for Laszlo the previous day. So I resolved not to cry. When I jumped up, and everyone was looking at my naked body, I started to feel sick. It was as though I could actually feel their eyes on me. I thought at first that Alice was going to grab my willy, but she didn’t.

Q: And you fainted?

A: My vision started going black around the edges. The nurse said that is called “tunnel vision”. I was only seeing Raj there straight in front of me, his eyes glued to my willy. The next thing I remember was: I was dressed, and two guys were helping me across the playground, taking me inside.

Q: So you told the nurse all about Ticklism?

A: Of course not. We just said I had fainted on the playground. On the horizontal ladder.

Q: What did the nurse say?

A: She found nothing wrong with me. She said maybe I did not have enough to eat that day.

Q: But you went back?

A: Yes, the next day I went back to the game. Some of the kids joked that I looked very handsome when I was starkers, especially lying unconscious on the wood chips.

Q: You did’t mind?

A: We all laughed.

Q: You still liked Ticklism?

A: You bet! The chance to see the others starkers (especially the boys with interesting willies flying around) made me look forward to it every day.

Q: And when you were starkers again?

A: I was a bit wary my second time. I still felt sick, but I didn’t faint. I didn’t get a very good time, because I was thinking more about how they all were watching my willy.

Q: But you didn’t stop after that.

A: No. Each time got easier. I reached the point where I could be starkers in front of everyone and not feel sick. Then I could concentrate on withstanding the tickling, and began to get some good scores again.

Q: You preferred being gawked to being groped?

A: Not at first, maybe. But after I finally got over feeling sick---definitely. There was an advantage to starkers. The tickler could not use her fingers at all! No more groping. She had to resort to something from the toolkit. Elise used to be very brutal tickler (and groper) with her fingers, but when I was starkers, she became no worse than the others.

Q: And you gawked at all the other boys?

A: Sure. To compare sizes. My willy was far from the smallest in the game, which was nice to know. And when the boys were tickled it was wonderful to watch the gyrating willies.

Q: You saw everyone starkers?

A: Except Quincy.

Q: Why not Quincy?

A: For a while he had to stay home because he was sick. I live near him, so I would take his assignments to him. Then even after he felt fine, he had to stay home for ten more days, because they said he could still be contagious. When he came back, sometimes he was ticklee, but only for ticklers with too few points to say “Starkers”.

Q: Until...

A: Right, 15 May. That was the “big” day.

[end of transcript]

==========

The court took yet another recess for “personal reasons”. The custodial staff noticed that night: there had been many cold showers in the judges’ bathroom.

==========

We were surprised the first time Izzy was starkers. Then we all did some research in our health book, and found it is called “circumcised”. But anyway, Izzy’s first time, the tickler spent so much time gawking that Izzy got a very high score.

You know ... when I had my eyes fixed on Izzy’s willy, and Izzy looked me right in the eye, it made me feel nervous. Like he caught me doing something bad. But how could it be bad if Izzy had undressed himself, and hung himself up there for us to see?

========

[Court transcript]
[Monica]

Q: Did you and the other girls like to tickle starkers boys?

A: Of course, who wouldn’t?

Q: It was better than merely topless?

A: Wow, no comparison.

Q: Seeing his willy?

A: Well, seeing was even for those in the audience. The ticklers would be sure to tickle him so that he would squirm and make his willy flap around. If I did it well, some of the others would congratulate me later!

Q: So when you were tickler, seeing was not the main thing. What was? Groping?

A: Of course not. No skin-to-skin contact.

Q: Then what?

A: Stiffy! Can I say that?

Q: Sure, why not.

A: Each boy would be a different puzzle for us. What is the best way of tickling this one’s willy to make it stiff?

Q: What did the boys think of that?

A: They said they tried to resist it as long as they could.

Q: “They said”?

A: But I think they liked it. Also, the first time we got each boy starkers, we would be asking ourselves: ‘How big will his stiffy be?’

===========

One day I had Monica as my tickler, and she tried something different. She took the feather duster, and went to work on my willy---and only my willy.

It was not bad. True, she was paying close attention to it. And so was everyone else. But she wasn’t tickling me everywhere else, which is what normally got me to let go of the ladder.

But then I cold feel my willy getting ready to stand up... I immediately dropped down from the ladder---I was certainly not ready to show that to everyone.

Izzy was the one to come up with a new strategy. He says he figured it out watching Alia rack up the time. Pretty soon all us boys were using it. It was this: let those stupid girls tickle my willy into standing up. So what? The time they spend on that is time that I get as a reward. Times ten!

All my classmates were seeing it? So what? They liked it. Hey, I liked it, too, when they did it to the other boys.

I acted proud of my stiffy. And after a while I really was proud of showing it off.

The ticklers realized that they could not get me to drop down by getting me stiff. And they had seen my stiffy a few times. So they went back to tickling me everywhere to try to make me let go.

===========

At last! Laszlo had 1008 points, and Quincy would be the ticklee. Of course Laszlo said ‘Starkers.’ He was just as eager as the rest of us to see Quincy’s willy! After all this time. Everyone knew it would be the biggest one of all.

Quincy undressed quickly, folding his clothes neatly. He was down to his drawers, standing beside Laszlo in the wood-chips. He was just sticking his thumbs inside the waistband, when...

‘What is this?’ A loud voice. Two cops, a man and a woman.

Our lookouts had not been looking out---they had been watching Quincy.

‘It looks like the complaint was right---an elementary-school strip-tease,’ one cop said to the other. ‘OK buster,’ he caught Quincy by the arm. ‘You’re coming with us.’ One led Quincy away, wearing only his drawers. The other picked up the rest of his clothes and followed.

===========

‘So, Monica, you never saw Quincy’s willy?’

‘Councillor, irrelevant.’

‘Sorry, Your Honor. Just curiosity.’

‘Miss, you may step down. I intend to render my decision tomorrow... Bailiff, adjourn the hearing... Councillor, come with me.’

‘Where are we going, Your Honor?’

‘We’ll walk across the street to the jail.’

‘Why?’

‘We will have to interview this Quincy, of course.’

‘Isn’t that irregular?’

‘This whole case is irregular.’

‘Yes, Your Honor.’

‘Hmmm. To prevent contraband, I will order that the prisoner be stripped naked to come into the interview room.’

‘Your Honor?’

‘After the Quincy interview, I will dismiss the case. That kid should never have been arrested.’

‘If you already know that, why are we interviewing him?’

‘Don’t you want to see this boy’s willy, after all that?’

‘Of course, Your Honor. How stupid of me.’

=======

Of course it is best that the judge dismiss the case. But imagine: if there were to be a jury trial... and I were council for the defense: We could take some kids over to the school to stage a re-enactment for the jury to see...
