While browsing FetLife (I’m not on there a whole lot, but I surf it from time to time), I happened to run across the pic below, breaking the foot down into 10 different tickling zones. With permission from PhoenixFootMan (who also has a tumblr here), I’m posting it below, as well as sharing his Tickle Testing Rules of the Road:

Tickle Testing Rules of the Road:
- I do this on the soles of all of my new TickleToys. It’s a long-standing tradition.
- When I first get their feet bare, I start by burying my face in their soles so I can savor their rich aroma and taste for a while.
- Then I tickle each zone individually, one sole at a time, for a while. The TickleToy’s only job is to rate the ticklishness of each zone on a 1 – 10 scale.
- Trick is, there can be only ONE #10 zone per foot!
- In my extensive experience, when I have a pair of very ticklish soles or a pair that has never been tickled before (I LOVE Foot Tickling Virgins!), this can be a real challenge! I will need to go back and re-tickle some zones, or tickle two zones at the same time for comparison, so he can re-rate the ticklishness of them.
- Our goal is to hone in together on that magical #10 spot on each of my TickleToy’s soles!
- Tickle Testing can take a half hour or more per foot, and is always done freeform (=no bondage). But it’s a great intro for me into a TickleToy’s soles! And I get great ticklishness intel that I use to maximize my TickleToy’s foot tickling pleasure during all of our tied foot tickling sessions!!
