if you laugh when you are tickled its not you laughing its your body laughing and you cant control it 

You can train yourself to respond less to it. 

I kind of had to do it. 

if you get an itch its your body getting an itch and you cant control it

if you pee because you cant hold it you cant control it

You can't control your heartbeat or whatever either, but are we only the things we have conscious control over?

So you can control it.

over? 

yes. we are. because we are our choices. 

I don't really believe in choice, I see most choices as largely being made automatically as a result of contingent elements going off in tandem. Once something has been done you can map the motivations, which to me makes those motivations become increasingly culprit for the choices that followed them.

Then by my worldview nothing is really anyone's fault. 

...this is something I've had to contend with thinking about before, and by the end of it had to largely accept that a lack of self control does not denote a lack of responsibility over the outcome, much like if someone committed murder while manic or something. While people may be less at fault over this, they can still be judged otherwise over their tendencies and patterns.

This does have me wonder how it'd be treated law-wise if someone ended up killing someone while in the throes of being tickled. Some people respond to that reflexively with violence, since tickling is essentially a form of pain riiiight beneath the usual line for it.

 stop fucking with me

Thinkers in history be like: 

Washington Post: 

Socrates suggested that the sensation is to some degree pleasant but to a greater degree painful.

Aristotle raised the question of why one cannot tickle oneself: "Is it because one also feels tickling by another person less if one knows beforehand that it is going to take place . . . ?"

Francis Bacon and Charles Darwin agreed that humorous laughter requires a "light" frame of mind. But they differed on ticklish laughter. Darwin thought that the same light state of mind was required. Bacon said no. When tickled, he noted, "men even in a grieved state of mind yet cannot sometimes forbear laughing."
