Goat tongue

Goat tongue is a method of torture involving soaking the bare feet in salt water and allowing a goat to lick the soles. It is very ticklish and is a form of tickle torture.

It has been claimed that a goat's tongue, being very rough, will gradually strip all the flesh from the feet, even down to the bone. One cannot be certain whether this is true, but it is undoubtedly true that Transylvanian prince Vlad Ţepeş (the historical Dracula) was fond of applying this torture to his Turkish prisoners after skinning their feet, they were immobilized in the stocks, with a steady supply of salt water dripped onto the sufferer's feet from above.

Similarly today, especially in tickling fetishism and sometimes on game shows, honey, peanut butter, etc, are applied to the bare feet or armpits after being immobolized in the stocks, and dogs and cats are more commonly used to lick it off, creating an immense tickle sensation for the ticklee. Goats are rarely used today, as the availability for dogs and cats is much better, but goats are very popular when used, as the way goats lick tend to be more ticklish that that of the more common household pets.
