Scientific Methodological Description: "Decibel Suppression in Extreme Tickling Under No-Safeword Protocol"

Objective

To measure the decibel output of laughter, screams, and muffled vocalizations from subject Kat Van Wylder during prolonged, high-intensity tickling stimuli under strict immobilization and dual-layer gagging. Secondary objective: Assess gag efficacy in suppressing sound compared to prior baseline data.

Apparatus

Restraint System: ImmobilizerTM Leather Body Sheath (full-body encasement, 5mm reinforced leather). Tickle Table v1 (steel frame, adjustable ankle bracket with toe-specific binding clamps). VetwrapTM Compression Bandage (secondary gag layer, 4.5m roll, applied post-ballgag). Stimuli Tools: Fingers / nails extensively. Whisker handheld application, Sphere, Shocker 1.0, Terrorizers 1.0, STickle. Measurement Devices: Decibel meter (calibrated to 140dB range, positioned 30cm from subject’s mouth). Motion-capture cameras (4K, 60fps) to document reflexive??.

Procedure

Pre-Trial Setup: Subject secured supine on Tickle Table v1. Toes individually bound using 9mm paracord restraints to prevent flexion/retraction. Ballgag (50mm diameter) inserted, followed by VetwrapTM layered over mouth/jaw (6 full rotations). Baseline Calibration: Pre-gag decibel test: 30-second feather stimulation (arch/heel focus). Recorded peak: 112dB. Experiment Initiation: NSW protocol activated (no pauses, edits, or stimuli reduction). Ceaseless stimulus application

Data Collection

Primary Metrics: Peak decibel levels per phase. Sustained dB averages ( ? 90dB threshold). Gag integrity (saliva saturation, displacement risk). Secondary Observations: Tearing/pupil dilation as proxy for measured intensity. Muscle spasms (quantified via motion-capture software).

Safety Protocols

ABORT CRITERIA: Decibel meter detects vocal fry/hoarseness ( ?15% drop in baseline pitch). Restraint system pressure sensors indicate abnormal circulatory restriction. Monitoring: EMT on standby (2m proximity). Pulse oximeter (finger clip, wireless telemetry).

Expected Outcomes

Decibel suppression efficacy of dual-layer gagging (target: ?40% reduction vs. prior 112dB baseline). Documentation of laughter-to-scream vocal modulation under stress.
