Is this the worst year in the last 15 years for tickling videos and clips?

Boy I can't remember a worse period to be honest.

factoring in popular models leaving the industry, top studios regressing, this has been a disaster of the year.

Although it's been building for a couple of years or so, but damn if I remember a time where I wanted to buy a clip, went on clips4sale, browsed for 2 hours and couldn't find a single clip to purchase.
 
No. It's not 2003 anymore and the game has evolved. All the clips are "bad and samey" now exactly because of how good things had gotten in the past few years.

Do you guys know that Russian Tickling site? I'd argue there's a solid case to be made they make some of the best tickle porn of all time. Everything Tickle Therapy does is a gem. Tickle Room finds a classic girl every other week. Instagram has mad sexy foot girls every way you turn and most of them will do tickle material.

The model of TMF and C4S style "everything is in one place and they'll post it there and I'll find it" has conditioned people that they don't really need to go find anything anymore. I remember being a teenager and frantically Yahoo searching for kink porn. Same idea but even easier now. Move away from your old standbys and see what all's out there, they have people getting videos from amatuers with Fiverr accounts ffs, if you want it, there's more than enough quality material out there.

I love tickle therapy and would categorize it as a flaming out studio. They haven't release a clip in 5-6 months now.

I am someone who is willing to buy 2-3 clips per week, so it's not like i'm looking for free stuff or not searching enough.

Russian tickling i'm not a huge fan of them, but that's a matter of personal opinion.
 
I'd have to disagree with that. I think it's been a great year for tickling videos! Studios like Czech, French, and UK Tickling have released some great stuff this year, you've got guys like FeatherFeet making really cool, playful movies, and Francois has resurrected The Last Laugh, so I think things are as great as they've ever been, video-wise :)

If I could say one negative thing, it's that Tickle Intensive, one of my very favourite studios of all time, seems to have gone completely silent nowadays. Haven't seen any new material from them for a long while, which is a shame!
 
Interesting question.

Going back to the 80's and 90's, it was extremely difficult to find material that was great from Calstar, HOM, Platinum, and the producers of that time. Although- it was incredible for any body into tickling to have that material available, as well as have the "pre-Internet " era validation that one was not the only individual into tickling, feet,etc. Harmony Concepts were the studio I think that made the first great videos.

When producers such as Tj and Solefully Yours came along, it took the medium to the next level.FM Concepts featured often weak tickling , but stunning models. Real Tickling took even further, where the more intense elements that many of us enjoy were added. Tickling Paradise came along and gave story lines less silly and drawn out than Calstar, but fun scenarios we are all familiar with. Tickle Central, a personal favorite of mine, really put out a bit of everything, but had genuinely ticklish girls and solid content.

Tickle Abuse really were the producers that made us redefine the modern tickle fetish video. The amount of themes and ideas explored by Tommy is incredible- and Czech Tickling,Stryker and Tickle Intensive are the truly amazing progeny. James Darke redefined production values to almost cinema quality levels, and included some straight ahead tickling. Czech Tickling also has amazing production values, and models that make the old FM Hollywood ladies look ordinary.

So- we have just witnessed these past 15 years the Renaissance of tickling fetish videos. I think tickle videos in 2017 are really back to basics tie and tickle.. A ticklish girl being tickled is still appealing, though right? The situation is like modern music. You just heard the Beatles and Cream and the Rolling Stones. Rock music did not stop after that, but evolved. Do I know how fetish videos will evolve? Nope. How do musicians make money when everyone downloads their music for free on the internet? That's the spot 2017 tickle producers are in now.

And- when you specified this the past 15 years- that is exactly the period of time when all new standards were set. You thought Rubber Soul was amazing , then thought Revolver was more amazing, then Sgt Peppers came out...holy shit!
Every week for 10 years something amazing and innovative was presented in the video clips section of this forum, to the point that now many are having malaise about pretty girls being tickled on video.

Anyway- I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with your statement. You are entitled to your perspective on what you enjoy and how best to spend your money. I just think we are in a back to basics period. Like Punk in the 70's. I applaud every producer who puts out anything in this genre, whether I think it's good or not.

I 100% agree. This has been one of the worst years for the industry and you're absolutely right it has been building for 2 maybe even 3 years normally I spend anywhere from $35 to $50 a month on websites and clip stores now I'm barely spending $35 a year that's a huge drop off the funny thing is the clip store/website producers don't seem to care that there's been a drop off in the industry they don't reach out to their customers and if they do reach out to their customers they are unhappy with the answers believe me the list is long very long as to why the industry is not as good anymore I can't list them all here I would love to list them all but it would take me all day. And I'm not everyone has the patience.

Thank you,

An observation - there's a few here that are complaining that there's nothing worth buying, and they haven't spent in a year what they used to spend in a month, or even a week. Yet the producers are still out there, giving us opportunities. I myself buy few.... got other priorities, (such as, a wife.....). If things are really so bad, seems the producers would wrap it all up, and there'd be nothing more to chose from. I don't see that happening.
 
I’d say it isn’t worse than the years before. U just get used to the stuff and so it’s not new and fascinating anymore. And what new things should they bring? There are clips with all the different bondage positions, every body part gets tickled, so that’s it. And to be serious, which model gets tickled, really doesn’t matter much. Lol, so it’s really almost impossible to make something new.

I agree with what you're saying somewhat while there are producers pumping out clips videos ETC but the problem is it just seems like the product is just being recycled they will use different models but they're just strapping her on to a pair of stocks or strapping into a bed and let's just tickle them there is no creativity no storyline no plots what happen to good old fashion storytelling such as sorority tickle revenge plots or the waitress who's stealing from the other waitresses and so they decide to get even with her, the plot ideas can be and are endless. It's just that the producers rather just take a model strap her into the stocks and tickle there's no rhyme or reason it takes away from the fantasy, it takes away from everything that this industry started from. If you go back to the very beginning before there was an Internet and they were pumping out videos left and right granted you had the mail order them or go to your adult bookstore to buy one but there was a plot there was a storyline there is reason to get your interests peeked in buying the clip/videos. I can go on forever but I don't know if everyone here has the patience for that.

Thank you,

I hate to break it to you, but we're all getting old. And I don't mean the producers. As we customers get older, our tastes often changes and, unfortunately, we find it harder to satisfy our kink. Part of it can be that a producer changes up the product they create as the times change.
This can be a problem if the customer has gotten into a specific narrow interest. Another problem can be that the best producers out there can
remain top notch, but we get bored. This is in our nature as humans in anything we want to attain. It's biologically hard wired into us to constantly seek out the next thing, possibly as a drive for self preservation in food gathering and mating. Eddie Murphy had a great bit that expresses this
in regards to men looking at women, but it can be applied to almost anything, including porn:

I know you and I have sparred in the past, but I agree with you on this. I think, broadly speaking, artists (and yes, to me porn is art) never want to just keep doing the same thing. That's why I think so many bands evolve over time, and fans who liked them early on often accuse them of "selling out.

Producers, models, consumers....our tastes change over time and as consumers, unless we can afford customs to fit our specific wants, we just have to hope that producers keep producing their art and that it's art we happen to like. I'd say for the most part they do a pretty good job.
 
To be honest the fact that most studios only focus on feet and leave the upperbody to the side upsets me the most. And not enough raspberries!

While I agree with you that as we get older things do change things do evolve but sometimes things don't change or evolve for the better.

There are about 80% of the clip stores or websites that have just stop making the clips that I want or used to like and purchase I don't know if that's changing for the better or things getting better my taste haven't changed those clips stores just stop making or just stop doing products I like.

It's all good I'll just spend my money on the clip stores or websites that are doing stuff I like. They are far and in between these days but there's nothing I can do about it till the other clips stores improve their products or go back to doing would I like again.

Better is relative. Better for the general audience? Better for the producer's bottom dollar? Maybe not better for you. When the thing you like is
no longer popular or is old hat, you have to really search for those gems or find other interests. Neither is easy. The custom route is an option that can get you exactly what you want, but it's a pricey option. You could pay for 10-20 clips to make an average 10 minute custom. But would those 10-20 clips be as satisfying as that one custom tailored to your wants? Most people can't have both and the choice isn't easy, since it requires sacrificing immediate gratification to get what they truly want.
 
At least its better than the 80s where the simple act of FINDING tickling content was hard. Sure there is alot of garbage tickling vids out there. But at least there's options. I remember the days when I had to go to multiple adult video stores in hopes they have at least one tickling tape. At least now I have options

Agree 100%. It sucked trying to find material, then paying outrageous prices for a VHS tape that had a high chance of sucking.

I don't know. I like the option of choice, but I miss the excitement of finding videos and mags with scenes. I would discover an adult vid store a town over that had a bondage section and I would drive over to look through it. The box might say it had tickling or I might see a frame on the back I was pretty sure might tickling (but not 100%) and I'd rent it. Sometimes it was nothing and others it was gold. It's an activity that doesn't really exist anymore. Like Saturday morning cartoons.

You make a good point that there are more options out there. I was always fortunate I lived not too far from Atlantic City and there is always 3 adult bookstores for every one casino so I never had no problem of finding something in tickling/foot fetish area. I always found something from platinum, FMconsepts, Cal-star, legshow magazine, or Elmer Batters.

Actually to be completely honest everyone makes good points and good arguments on this thread.

The problem is and the original reason why someone started this thread was that the industry is just not as good as it used to be. And it seems like to me everybody misses the storylines and plots from the eighties videos and early nineties videos.

Having come of age along with the TMF, I disagree with the original premise - There were plenty of years where there were only a handful of companies producing videos and the quality was sketchy at best, just from a technological perspective. 2017 has so many more options and most people are delving into HD, so on that alone it's an improvement.

However, I will say that there is no clear leader in the tickling world like we have had over the past 15-20 years. From Magic Touch to Real Tickling to Tickle Abuse to Shy and Wild, there was always someone "running the show", so to speak. Now that Tickle Abuse has clearly been sold and James Darke retiring and then unretiring, but only doing streaming, there isn't a new frontrunner. Anyone close (Tickle Room, Random Sole Encounters) still has 2-3 steps to go before being the A1 company.

Right now, if I had to pick someone, it'd be UK Tickling. Great models, great tickling, great business sense (won't catch them bragging about being the best tickler in the world). The only problems I see are a bit too formulaic in the videos and the weird clips4sale / membership site thing.
 
For me it's " Where have all the good looking girls gone ! " I've found this to be true at strip clubs also. Young really pretty sexy girls don't get into the business anymore. They are all doing youtube channels or are being instragram models or Cam girls. They are making good money doing it so they don't have to strip or do soft core porn . You can make a fortune being a pretty girl on the internet giving useless fashion advice or doing a blog or having 1'000's of followers on Twitter. I recently bought a weekend pass to FM Concepts and forgot how beautiful those girls were ! Stunning, throw in what Real tickling was doing in the early 2000's it seemed like every other day some new stunning model would make an appearance then quickly disappear. Now maybe just UK tickling has consistently pretty girls . FTKL does have attractive models and has top notch production values but his stuff is very tongue and cheek and not too extreme but that is what he chooses to produce and you know that when you purchase his material. Tickle Abuse had a nice long run of attractive girl next door types but that seems to have morphed into using pro models . Tickle Room does a nice job but I don't think he updates or shoots every week so it's maybe a couple times a month something catches your eye. Maybe Borderland Bound would be the best example of a site that has stunning models and updates frequently but tickling isn't his focus. It must be hard for producers to find models you want to shoot with who are also willing to get into the fetish game. So in my opinion the internet giveth and has taken away.
PS : Tickle Central was fucking awesome for about a 5yr period too !
 
I would give it a year or 2, and maybe someone new will burst onto the tickling scene with fresh content...

Fair enough, I do admit I sorta miss the days were me and my lads ( they just thought it was funny, or maybe they just didn't want to admit to having the fetish ) would search through adult video stores and either come up dry or find a tape that was less than good. I feel quality has gone up since then too
 
I can not even begin yo imagine how hard it was to find good quality content back in the day...

To put it simply, hard, very very hard

I don't doubt that. I remember that before I knew there was an internet I was at the public library one day, looking through a huge book of VHS movie titles and found a video called "Tickling Tammy" but, I never found out anything more about it. Still, I can't help but, wonder if it was a good one or not and how (back then) one would go about acquiring it.
