That Explains Nothing

Scientist have apparently just discovered why you can’t tickle yourself.

The human brain anticipates unimportant sensations, such as your own touch, so it can focus on important input like, say, a tarantula crawling up your neck.

The results might explain why it’s hard to tickle yourself, scientists said today.

Of course this doesn’t explain how humans are able masturbate themselves…

Ah the folly of science.

Wow. I SOOOO needed to know that I can’t tickle myself. I feel so enlightened. :S

It doesn’t need to. The study only claims it’s HARD to tickle yourself. There are still losers out there who manage to, like me.

The equivalent statement would be that it’s hard to masturbate oneself. Pun not really intended.

“unimportant sensations, such as your own touch, so it can focus on important input..”

perhaps the body decided, heck, both self (masturbation) n “real” sex are important
