Submissive-Dominated Dynamics in Tickle-Stimulus Delivery: A Case Study on Volunteer Ama Rio vs. Subject Honey Kinkaid

Abstract

This paper documents a controlled tickling trial in which habitual submissive volunteer Ama Rio was temporarily granted dominant stimulus authority over the highly-sensitive subject Honey Kinkaid. Observations focus on (1) whether Rio’s technique mirrors established submissive-pattern behaviors (lighter, teasing, rhythmically hesitant) or deviates toward randomized, individualized delivery; (2) how co-dominant intervention (double-team phase) alters those patterns; and (3) measurable subject response variance. Results indicate submissive-turned-dominant ticklers exhibit hybrid rhythm profiles: initial mimicry of their own preferred submissive tease-tempo, followed by rapid adoption of sharper, unpredictable bursts once confidence peaks. Double-team escalation obliterates personal patterning, converging all stimuli into high-entropy, subject-directed chaos.

1. Methodology

Subject: Honey Kincaid, 34, F, BMI 19.4, baseline ticklishness rated 9.7/10 (underarm, navel, plantar). Apparatus: Terror Table v2, steel-shanked leather sleeves, ratcheting T-Bar toe clamps, blindfold, wrapgag. Volunteer Tickler: Ama Rio, 29, F, classified submissive in 38 prior lab trials. Lead Experimenter: Derek (author), intervenes for dual-stimulus phase. Recording: 4K multi-angle, foot-camera (sole close-up), axillary-cam, respiration belt, decibel meter. Procedure: Single-blind, continuous tickle exposure. Solo-Ama phase followed by dual-team phase. Safe-signal: three gag-muffled grunts = immediate 5-second pause.

2. Tickling Techniques Catalogued

A. Rio Solo Phase

Flicker Sweep – Light finger figure-8 across plantar arch; consistent loops with minimal deviation. Navel-Pinch Torque – Index nail drills into bellybutton crease while middle finger braces rim; steady micro-circle. Axillary Piano – Four-finger spider crawl from inferior latissimus to anterior armpit apex; ascending tempo. Knuckle-Rake – Middle-knuckle dragged along sole wrinkles at regular intervals ( pseudo - random, χ 2 p < 0.05 vs true RNG). Verbal Tease Overlay – Whispered prompts synchronized with pauses, inducing anticipatory muscle quiver.

B. Dual-Team Augmentation Phase

Synchronous Sweep vs. Digit Tease – Derek plantar sweeps while Rio concentrates within underarm region; chaotic 1/f noise pattern, abolishes Rio’s prior rhythmicity. Circling Bursts – Derek tracing heel-to-toe while Rio spider-tickles Honey’s navel; subject scream peaks at elevated decibel levels. Breath-Timing Overload – Short-term entrainment achieved before Rio slips back to personal cadence, proving partial retention of individual signature even after mimicking.

3. Quantitative Findings

Foot-flinch Frequency: Solo phase micro-spasms at baseline rate; dual phase elevated rate ( p < 0.01 ). Respiratory Peaks: Baseline breath spikes per interval → heightened spikes per interval. Gag-muffled Syllables: 11 recognizable “stops” vs 0 safe-signals, indicating endurance threshold not crossed. Rio’s Dominance Confidence Index (0-10 observer scale) rises from baseline to peak within minutes of establishing dominance.

4. Discussion

Submissive ticklers do not default to pure randomness; they hybridize learned teasing rhythms (comfort zone) with bursts of improvisation once dominance cues amplify. Rio’s early pattern closely replicated the gentle, anticipatory style she herself endures as a submissive. Post-authority boost (co-dominant entry) her stroke entropy doubled, yet underlying consistent loop still periodically resurfaced, implying a subconscious metronome. This supports Hypothesis H1: prior role experience imprints an internal timer that persists even when power dynamics invert.

Randomness person-to-person? Partially. Across five prior submissive-turned-tickler trials (cited) coefficient of variation in inter-stroke intervals averaged 0.31, indicating moderate but not maximal randomness. Rio’s CV = 0.29, aligning with cohort. Therefore, submissive ticklers converge on semi-random, semi-structured delivery rather than pure stochasticity.

5. Limitations

Single subject; n expansion needed. Rio’s extensive lab history may produce experimenter bias. Gag-safe signal muffling could delay cessation, though none invoked.

6. Conclusion

When submissives assume stimulus control, their technique is neither fully patterned nor wholly random; it is a cyclical negotiation between imprinted submissive rhythm and newly-granted dominant license. Dual-team escalation overrides personal tempo, driving subject response to maximum entropy. Future trials should map EEG feedback to determine whether the residual rhythmic signature is neurologically hard-wired or socially conditioned.
