大学四年级的克洛伊·托伊因为考试压力大，经常难以入眠，而且她还经常做噩梦，梦见自己被入侵者绑起来。她向大学医生寻求建议。医生推荐了一种刚发表在期刊上的新疗法——睡前分泌大量的神经递质，比如……挠痒痒。至于那些被捆绑的噩梦？最好的办法是暴露疗法——她应该被绑起来接受挠痒治疗！

这听起来像胡说八道，但期刊上的科学依据无可争议，克洛伊勉强同意了，并预约了医生当晚到她公寓进行一次长时间的捆绑挠痒治疗。这真的有效吗？Final year University student Chloe Toy is having lots of trouble resting because of the pressure of exams, and she has a recurring nightmare about being tied up by intruders, too. She turns to the University doctor for advice. He recommends a new treatment which has just been published in the journals - a big flood of neurotransmitters just before bed, from oh, say... tickling. And the bondage break-in nightmares? Best to deal with those by exposure therapy - she should be tied down for the tickling therapy session!


It sounds like nonsense but there is no arguing with the science in the journal, so reluctantly Chloe agrees and makes an appointment for the doctor to visit her in her flat that evening for a prolonged bound tickle session. Will it do the trick?
