Ep 3. It Tickles

Jasper & Errol's First Time is a reality show that follows the adventures of best friends Jasper and Errol as they embark on various first-time experiences. In season 1 episode 3, titled "It Tickles," the duo takes on the challenge of experiencing a sensory deprivation tank for the first time.

As they arrive at the spa, Jasper and Errol are introduced to the concept of the sensory deprivation tank. The therapist explains that the tank is a large, soundproof, and lightproof container filled with saltwater that is heated to skin temperature. The idea is to float effortlessly in the tank, leaving your senses deprived of any external stimuli, which is said to help with relaxation, stress relief, and even pain management.

Jasper and Errol, however, are less than thrilled about being deprived of their senses and are nervous about the whole experience. They also learn that they'll be floating in the tank for an entire hour, which seems like a daunting task.

As they get into the tank, Jasper admits to feeling claustrophobic, while Errol thinks it looks like a giant egg. They quickly realize that the saltwater is very buoyant, and they effortlessly float on the surface. The water is warm, and they are so still that it feels like they are just suspended in space.

At first, they both find it uncomfortable and strange to be deprived of any external stimulation. However, Jasper soon finds himself relaxing and even drifting off to sleep. Errol, on the other hand, can't stop laughing; he claims that the sensation of the water on his skin is making him ticklish.

As time passes, they both start to feel the full effects of the sensory deprivation tank. Jasper says he feels like he's been meditating for hours, and his mind feels clear and calm. Errol, on the other hand, is having a more challenging time. He's feeling increasingly restless and is starting to squirm around in the tank, making splashing noises.

As the hour comes to an end, both Jasper and Errol emerge from the tank looking somewhat dazed but content. They both admit to feeling relaxed, and Jasper even says that he feels like he's been reborn. Errol, however, is still giggling and can't stop talking about how ticklish the water made him feel.

Overall, the experience has been an eye-opener for both of them. They've learned that sensory deprivation can be a powerful tool for relaxation and stress relief, and that it can help to calm and clear the mind. They agree that it's something they'd like to try again in the future.
