Four European contenders ? This looks awfully like the semi-final legs of the European soccer championships... except that the Czechs and the Russians
actually stand a decent chance of winning !
Let us first acknowledge that each of these studios deserves our gratitude for industriously bringing to life our fetish over the years.
If I were to put one on a pedestal, though, my choice would go to "Czech Tickling", mostly because they have provided more variety than the other three.
For those of us whose tastes in TK are constantly fluctuating (one day F/F, M/F the next, stockings one day, bare feet the next, something of that order),
single-theme or single-style studios can become dull over time. "Czech Tickling" hasn't fallen into the dullness trap, dabbling both in F/F and M/F,
in sexualised and non-sexualised contents. They use multiple forms of bondage: bed restraints, X-frame, stocks, as well as other bondage devices I have no idea how to call.
They can do both hardcore clips and playful ones. True, the Czech Republic isn't as multicultural and ethnically diverse as, say, the US or Britain, and this is reflected by the predominance of the lanky blonde type among their models. But who can blame them ?
As for the other contenders:
-"TicklingRussia" is a new player in the arena, and could become a leading brand in the years to come should they maintain the same quality standard. Rather impressive so far but not quite as established as the other three.
-"UK Tickling": must be a delight for stockings enthusiasts...which I am only to a small extent. We want to see some bare feet ! And, optionally, a few Pakistani/Indian models. They form a large community in Britain, although I understand they might avoid modelling for a TK studio for cultural/religious reasons.
- "French Tickling": would be a favourite of mine if it released more F/F content. And by F/F I mean a girls-only clip, with no guy barging in every thirty seconds to lecture the female ler
on tickling techniques. Again needly to add, this is purely subjective. There is demonstrably a market for this kind of content in its current shape and form, but why not reach out a bit more
to F/F enthusiasts ? Why not trust girls more with tickling ? Seeing a guy casually walking into a clip advertised as F/F can either (1) turn off some people (see above comments) or (2) gives viewers the uncomfortable impression that left to their own devices the girl 'lers would be perfectly incompetent to administer tickling - which of course they aren't.
So overall three top-tier studios, with one clear winner: "Czech Tickling".
