This thread really spoke to me. The tearing of the nylons/pantyhose is one of my biggest pet peeve in videos.
So full disclosure: I highly prefer nylon tickling over bare, though I wouldn't call myself a nylon snob by any means.
And to be clear, it's not the transition to bare that is my issue, but rather the actual ripping/tearing of the nylons.
And one final declaration: I am by no means criticizing any producer or just producers in general as a collective. I appreciate the work that they do and am more than happy to drop some money for a clip that looks interesting.
Obviously, I'd prefer a video entirely in nylons, but I am content to see that at least some of the video contains nylon tickling. But when it shifts to bare feet, it seems like it is just the tickler ripping the nylons and then tickling again, for the most part (recognizing that I am making a broad assumption).
I've actually been kind of shocked that no producer has played more into the "more ticklish in nylons or bare feet" element of it. I've heard it asked a few times in some of the videos that I have bought, but that seems to be a question that gets asked often enough on here that you might think to see it represented more in videos.
Just my $0.02.
