HaHaHa.....Why me?

The tickle torture was a person tied up and tickled, most likely on the bare feet. This procedure was used for both extreme and leisure measures since it was uncomfortable after a while of doing so. The laughter would become too much to bear. There isn't much documentation of tickle torture in history besides a few New York incidences, in Chinese history for unmarked punishment, and in Ancient Rome where it became painful for the victim. In the late 1800's, New York newspapers reported the events when people were tortured either here in New York or in Europe. The first mention of where it was practiced was China and dates back to the Han Dynasty, 206 BC. This topic is interesting to me because it lacks gore.
