New low

Been browsing through clips4sale for the past week. Only 3 clips I've bought were from 2013, 2011 and 2015.

The state of the current tickle media is depressing.

The refreshing thing is that there is plenty of content produced in earlier years that one can probably find even if you're not familiar with the studio/tickler/ticklee or model, because the clips4sale search function is very advanced with great filters.

But Jesus Christ, the up to date content stinks!!

Given the amount of clips there are kicking about on places like porno hub etc. I can't believe it is economically viable for producers these days to make new clips.

I agree with you about finding brilliant videos from years gone by, there are some absolutely superb clips on C4S, and you're right about the search function: it works very well indeed!

I'd have to disagree with you about the overall quality of modern tickling videos, however. There are so many brilliant producers releasing fabulous clips, the majority of which are in HD, which seems to be standard practice nowadays.

I think it all depends on what you're looking for in a tickling movie, and what you feel represents good value for money, but for me, the tickle media scene is absolutely thriving right now!

Interesting point, but do you have any justification for what your saying, like why its depressing?

I have to agree with this. Even producers I've loved for years are now putting out subpar content with the same played out models.

The Last Laugh series were great along with Tickling Paradise in the early years. Models for Tickling Paradise like Sierra and Erin were epic. The mother daughter clips from Last Laugh were incredible as well. Savannah from Simply Tickles is great. Its just tough to find content with authentic models, that are in shape, with shapely well groomed feet and are ticklish; that also have an everyday woman you would see at a mall look versus a porn actress that just adds pounds, tatoos, and fake laughter over the years.

The main problem for me is that most of the models just aren't that ticklish and a lot of them are overreacting/faking.

When I pay money for a clip I want to see genuine tickling which is why I tend to like mainstream clips more these days, less scripting and more ticklish women. I don't care if the clip is only 30 seconds, at least it's real.

Amen to this! I want to see new girls, largely inexperienced with tickling. I want authenticity! Forget the storylines. When I see a tickle model in a new clip who has appeared on countless other stores, I pass it right on by.

This was an inevitable consequence of people's behavior thinking it was ok to freely share media.

If you're looking for authenticity, check out my content. I only produce clips with genuinely ticklish gals who meet key look and ticklish standards.

Some of us do just that. I've only ever worked with fresh models and first-time ticklees. It helps that I'm in the UK and a little away from things but I would have no interest in shooting someone that was on half a dozen other tickle sites, even if I was based in the US.

I don't do storylines or fake reactions either and I'm not particularly unique in any of these respects. There are actually quite a lot of stores that just do real tickling with original models...most non-US based producers work with models you won't have seen before but there are also many companies in the US that seek out unknown models too. I think that most of the played-out stuff comes from the fact that the more familiar fetish models have shot so many clips for so many producers, that they fall into the same routines and things get a bit samey. The problem is that some people just scan through the same, small collection of stores and then complain that there's nothing new anymore.

Yet another thread where the OP criticizes on a topic, but doesn't give any reasons why they are criticizing. Thankfully others chimed in with some constructive criticism. Personally I also love storylines and I am probably one of the few people that like watching old CalStar productions for the storylines, costumes, sets, and props. CalStar is a huge influence on some of the clips in my store and clips that have yet to be released.

You're not alone there.

Depending on when you first got into consuming tickle videos, you will have engrained various predilections into your psyche based on both your preferences and that which you were most exposed to. For example, one of the key factors for me that makes a tickling video worth it is the unique chemistry between the tickler and ticklee. Sites I remember such as Realtickling, TickleAbuse, TickleIntensive, FrenchTickling, and beyond would highlight the interactions between the two both verbal and nonverbal. Many tickle videos today will obscure the tickler's face, obviously for the sake of anonymity, but sometimes unintentionally, creating a disconnect for me within the unique interaction and therefore making it hard for me to enjoy it. This is merely my own preference, as others will think completely differently on this.

Ya! Producers who actually give a shit assemble! Lmao but on a serious note I think many people bash todays clip sets not realizing there is more to the market than you think. Especially with real ticklish models. Now doing clips like tickling paradise is not easy in todays society. Realize how hard it can be for producers to get this niche you are looking for. The hot girl next door type. Back in the day you could cast for virtually anything and people did it because the chance of exposure was minimal. Today with pornhub, social media, etc more people are afraid of being exposed by anything. I mean shit UK ticklings angelina clip popped up in my personal social media as a meme. So that is just one issue and even with that issue you have people dropping great content:
FTKL -Story based super heroines
UK- Constant clips coming out with exceptional quality
Porcelain- Someone who is a huge part of the tickling community
The Tickle Room (me )- Almost 90% of my models are friends or people I meet off the street.
and tons more:
-Stryker
-Silvercherry
-Octopus
-Random Sole encounters
-Stuck in the stocks
etc etc etc There are SO many producers pumping out content. Give them shot and realize customs are always possible for particular people with particular tastes.

I suppose it's entirely impossible for you to go out and find someone live to play with?

Yes thank you for bringing this up! Guys like to complain it's the same so called "12" models being seen over and over, but I think they never realize pirating and exposuer is probably why the industry shifted to professional fetish models and less girl next door types. But as you also stated there is a lot of variety and some producers like yourself have clips with models that are more everyday girl next door types, but you might have to spend a few minutes trying to find what you are looking for. That is an awesome problem to have in my personal opinion because that means there is so much content from so many producers to choose from.

Well, there is a lot more to choose from than the same 2-3 producers back in the dsy...

Pretty much all the producers that have participated in this thread have been putting out great content for a while now. I rarely see crossover of the same modes with the producers in this thread, but even if that happens, those models have not seemed fake at all.

To the OP, you must realize how tough the market has become for fetish producers, with all the privacy. Perhaps we can eventually see a migration to a "Netflix" of fetish, where a media company essentially buys content from producers. Remember when the music industry almost went to shit cuz of piracy? How's it doing now??? Until something similar comes to fetish, producers will be losing money to piracy. So, dont be pissed at the current state. There are still numerous producers making excellent content, and like I said earlier, the producers commenting in this thread are those producers.

If you're a fan of older videos, check out Brazil Tickling Site's 3 part series featuring now mainstream pornstar Carol Sampaio getting tickled by Marcia.

Just recently discovered it myself, quality quality stuff! Always fun finding hidden gems indeed

I've agreed with and thought this comment for the past several years, actually. But the last year and a half has been the worst ever. Like you, i've not bought too much in quite some time. Maybe a few here and there, but they were mostly old ones newly discovered.

There is great content out here and some bad content. It really comes down to personal preference. Its great that producers are trying scratch the tickling itch out here. Agree its time to get tickling into mainstream via Netlflix , Hulu, Amazon. I dont believe people are ready for an entire series totally focused on tickling. Would be great to see tickling as an aspect of one of the characters in a series fetish, like feet are being introduced in some international tv series. I think a great example was in the Series Six Feet Under. I believe 2nd Season, Episode " Can I Come Up Now". Brenda (Rachel Griffins) is dating a guy who likes to be tied up. He brings it up and she rejects it at first (which was a great reality inject) then realizes the guy is nice and maybe she just needs to try something to please a good guy with a quirk. So in a couple of episodes they introduce bondage into their life and it is done with taste. Billions does a great job as well with BDSM. The entire show isn't about BDSM but one of the characters has a quirk and it is introduced periodically during the series. Would love to see tickling introduced in this way and with the producers on this forum I believe someone could write something to introduce to one of the streaming production companies.

Amen to that.
Your studio is one of my favoirtes.
Tiffany is still my favorite model.
Beautiful and genuinely ticklish.

Before a start this post I would like to be clear about something. I'm not looking to get into a battle of words with anyone my feelings about the state of the tickling business is what I'm going to express here in this post everyone has a right to their opinion and you can agree with me or disagree and you can post your opinion here on this thread but I am not looking to get into a battle of words were things can get ugly.

I was spending anywhere from $30 to $50 a month on clip stores or websites about 18 months to 2 years ago now I'm barely spending $30 to $50 a year. This is alarming as a consumer that tells me something's wrong with the product it just seems like most clip stores about 90% of them just strap a girl to a bed or in the stocks and tickets her there's no reason there's no plot there's no storyline there's no fantasy involved everything that used to be what sold in the past it just seems like everyone is just doing the same clip just using a different model same stocks will just put a new model in it and then if you end of the day you spend your money and then you say to yourself what did I spend my money on I got this clip the last time just a different model.

Some problems I have ran into:

Recently I had one clip store email me and expressed how they miss my business, I haven't bought any clips in quite some time, my reply was your not doing anything I like anymore they returned an email asking me what I like their follow up email after I sent them an email letting them know what I like and what I used to buy from their clip store basically was yes we're not doing clips like that anymore hopefully we will get your business in the future well my immediate thought is you're not gonna do what I like I'm pretty sure you're not gonna get my business in the future.

Another clip store sent out a mass email about a year ago or so to all its customers seemingly (there was a good handful of emails) expressing their thoughts on getting feedback from all of their customers on ideas and things that they can do in the future to keep their clip store fresh and keeping the customer's interest in the product after about a couple of months or so that same clip store email all those mass emails and expressed how overwhelming the feed back was and are not sure if we're going to be able to honor all of your request and ideas, here again you have to take a step back and say to yourself well you reached out to us.

For me I may be part of the minority of the members here TMF I want a plot , a storyline you know give me the MILF college professor who's being tickled by the sorority girls or even better yet the sorority hazing tickling the the roommate who's upset with her other roommate for flirting with her boyfriend whatever the ideas and the plots could be enlist again I may be a part of the minority I don't know.

I don't understand for the life of me why clip stores use men as a tickler or Especially as a ticklee if you've noticed and I could be the only one that noticed this when you watch a clip store that uses a male tickler it's a guy that usually looks overweight disheveled and it just looks like he's getting his jollies by tickling a female it's not a turn on for me I'd like to think that I'm not alone in that thought process.

Now I've had clip stores reach out to me and say Hey if you don't like what we're doing we can do a custom OK great they send you or they advertise a list of models I choose the model I want to be a ticklee, they tell me all she doesn't like being a ticklee OK then why she listed as a model for a custom clip under tickling it doesn't add up. I have no problem spending whatever a custom clip cost but when I don't get the clip or when I do send the storyline or plot I want I don't expect to be told we don't use that girl or we don't do that plot or storyline.

Again this is all just my opinion if you agree with me great if you disagree with me that's OK to, either way if you wanna voice your opinion on this thread that's fine but I don't wanna get into a back-and-forth mudslinging ugly argument with anyone. I'm just trying to get the websites and clip stores Taking care of what's best for the customer

Thank you,
LBFT

That's why I personally wouldn't ask for mass feedback...it will inevitably generate a huge number of conflicting opinions/preferences as to what should be produced in future. Still, I admire their attempts to get their customer's views - at least they tried!

Not neccessarily in the minority - plenty of people like tickle videos with a story and a script, however cheesy that may be. But plenty of other people dislike them and prefer clips that are just tickling without the distraction of scripted responses and plot lines. You will find routinely find people complaining about both types of clip, even though both probably sell just as well as each other.

Because plenty of people like M/F and F/M tickling and will buy those clips. It's personal preference - just not your personal preference, but a large number of people do prefer it to F/F tickling or enjoy both. A lot of guys buy clips and like to put themselves in the position of the tickler, and not everyone is grossed out by the presence of a male in a clip (consider the overwhelming amount of B/G content in vanilla porn). Bottom line: if clips with men in them didn't sell then hardly anyone would be making them

Thanks for the compliment TR and yes, that Angelina meme went completely viral, which was very random and a little scary!
