Back in the early days of the LOL clips store, we had some experiences that I always sort of felt were on the edge of non-consensual. That's why this thread caught my attention. The core LOL group back then spent a fair amount of time talking through this as we got more experienced in order to keep everything light and fun.
Here's how it would play out. The ladies who were regulars in those days used to plan "tickle parties" and invite their friends. Think regular party upstairs with snacks and drinks and games, and then down in the basement, it was all tickle box and cots with cuffs and feathers and lotions and cameras.
Also, if you don't know LOL, this was generally a pretty vanilla crew, so like most of our models the invitees were just regular people you'd see every day.
Of course anyone who chose to come downstairs knew what was going to happen, and I always talked them through the process and safewords and consent forms first. A fair number would politely decline. However, there was definitely some peer pressure at play. The "cool kid" regulars were always talking about how much fun it was, and the money, and kind of leaning on the other girls to give it a whirl. Being downstairs, I didn't always see all of this, but the "I dare you" vibe often carried onto the set.
We got some great videos from the parties and had a lot of fun. But I can think of four times when I could tell while shooting that the 'lee was maybe just a little too frantic. It's one thing to agree to be locked in a box or cuffed to a cot, but when someone or several someones start tickling you, a whole new reality sinks in. And I'd help tickle a little sometimes, but I was usually behind the camera and rarely the 'ler in these shoots. It was mostly friends tickling friends. More often than not I was mainly the tool caddy and safeword cop.
I'll say every girl came out of a shoot with no hard feelings, laughing and joking around and getting high fives on making it through, but I always built in a step where the models could review any or all pics, previews, or videos before I released them for promotion or sale. So the four ladies I'm thinking of are the ones who never made it to the forums or the clip store, and of course they never shot again.
Post-production, while editing, it always seemed like I could tell when a model suddenly realized she was way out over her skis once the tickling started, and I wasn't surprised at the four who bailed out before publishing.
So technically, these were not non-consensual tickling sessions. But it always felt like they *almost* were. And fwiw, once we figured it out, the ladies did ease back on the peer pressure.
