The desired effect may be a tickling or stinging sensation, or the infliction of psychological distress on another person.<ref>{{cite book |title=Encyclopedia of Unusual Sex Practices |last=Love |first=Brenda |authorlink=Brenda Love |year=1992 |publisher=Barricade Books |location=Fort Lee, NJ |isbn=1569800111 |page=301}}</ref><br />
