Review of Almost Everything You Wanted To Know About Tickling
[Following is a volunteer review of "Almost Everything You Wanted To Know About Tickling" by Duncan Taub.]
Prepare to be tickled pink, both metaphorically and quite possibly literally, as ‘tickling,' an act that is often dismissed as frivolous, takes center stage in Duncan Taub's captivating exploration, Almost Everything You Wanted to Know About Tickling. Honestly, when I first read the title of this book, I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of what it might delve into! I mean, the concept of tickling is something I've never considered serious enough to imagine it being the subject of a book, let alone one filled with profound insights. So, what is this book exactly about?
To begin with, this book isn’t just about giggles; instead, it's a comprehensive exploration that challenges the very notion of tickling as a trivial topic. Taub, with a twinkle in his prose, beckons readers into a world where tickling isn't just a passing fancy but a fundamental aspect of human behavior. The book, presented as the first international odyssey into the realms of ticklishness, defies the scientific sidelining of tickling, pushing the boundaries of conventional research.
Throughout the book, the author navigates the reader through a myriad of intriguing findings, debunking misconceptions and unveiling the multifaceted nature of tickling. From the frequency of ticklish encounters to the cultural nuances that shape tickling perceptions, Taub leaves no stone unturned in his quest for understanding.
For instance, in one delightful chapter, the author reveals the captivating nuances of women's interest in tickling. It's a revelation: 45% of surveyed women find tickling utterly fascinating, with 36% actively seeking tickle-related information online. It's interesting, isn’t it?
The journey continues with a deep dive into ticklishness itself, a subject explored through the lens of 2000 women. From self-rated ticklishness to the most ticklish body parts, the book tickles your curiosity, offering a delightful blend of individual experiences, statistical data, and scientific explanations.
The narrative's crescendo arrives with an exploration of the individual benefits of tickling, from laughter-induced joy to stress relief and even serving as a prelude to intimacy. Then, as the book journeys through puberty, relationships, and long-term partnerships, it unveils the role of tickling as a silent communicator in the intimate dance between couples.
Yet, the book doesn't shy away from the shadows of tickling, as the author, in one of the latter chapters, unveils the darker side of tickling, where tickling transforms from innocent fun to an uncomfortable and potentially harmful experience. The historical context of tickling as a form of torture provides a stark contrast to the laughter-filled pages that precede it.
What I liked the most about the book was its accessibility. With a keen eye for detail, the author has crafted a narrative that caters to a diverse audience. I liked how readers are invited to engage at their own pace, with the option to delve into technical details or skip to key findings. This inclusive approach ensures that Almost Everything You Wanted to Know About Tickling is both informative and enjoyable for readers of all backgrounds. Also, the way the individual experiences of the women are included in the book is truly praiseworthy because it makes the book all the more interesting. However, I do have to mention that the experiences did get a bit graphic many times. Thus, with nothing to dislike about this strangely interesting book, I rate it 5 out of 5 stars.
So, if you're ready to embark on a journey into the fascinating world of tickling, Almost Everything You Wanted to Know About Tickling is your ticket to an enlightening and entertaining exploration. Tickling enthusiasts and curious minds alike will find themselves captivated by Taub's thought-provoking insights and compelling narrative.
So, get ready to giggle, guffaw, and ponder as Taub tickles your intellect and your funny bone in this one-of-a-kind ticklish book.
