I think I get what tickling is supposed to be a metaphor for, but I'm clueless as to what the human and two Martian factions represent.
OK, I really would prefer that this discussion stays on the abstract level, but in order to avoid confusion, I will provide a translation of the intended metaphors:
Green Martian = Low Status Male
Blue Martian = High Status Male
Earthling = Female
Tickling = Flirting (Including obnoxious strategies such as "negs" and "kino escalation")
The moderately painful sting of the tentacles of the Green Martian = Creepiness, Social Awkwardness, etc
Experimentation on Earthlings (defined in comments) = Sex
You should have set this up between Martians and Venusians :-)
Otherwise, I don't think that practicing tickling is the main way for changing the color from Green to Blue.
Silver can make you blue!
A valid point :-D
OK, I had slightly misunderstood it. I'm retracting the comments based on the misunderstanding.
