(Unpopular Opinion) Tickling videos suck now

Remember when it was all about the tickling? Remember when tickling producers had their hearts into it and did their best to make good TICKLING content? Those were the days.

So what happened?

I remember when it was all about the tickling and nothing more. It was a simple time full of completely vanilla girls plucked from obscurity - the kind of 'girl next door' who's bubbly personality, real reactions, and actual ticklishness made a video great. Realtickling's Jackie French comes to mind. Tickling companies used to pride themselves in producing tickling content without trying to be something more than they are.

Now everything is just a damn performance. A fake performance, usually starring porn stars - porn stars who aren't ticklish, giving highly exaggerated reactions while they're 'tickled' (loose term here) in laughably bad bondage. Not to mention everyone's nude now, the ticklers can't tickle to save their lives, there pretty much always has to be a vibrator aspect to the video (looking at you with that one TicklingSubmission), and most companies make the same damn videos every time, just with different girls (TickleCentral was hilariously bad with this concept, and now every other company has followed suit).

Every video produced these days is just a gimmick and I don't see it ever going back to the way it was. The dumbest part is that the market has shifted in that direction which is not only shocking but highly disappointing.

To be fair, it's not the models' fault. They're doing just that - being models. It's the producer's job to:

1) Find girls who are actually ticklish

2) Make sure the tickling isn't horrible

3) Actually have proper bondage equipment and positions

4) Have some damn integrity.

The ONLY company that hasn't gone completely down the toilet is FrenchTickling - even if a lot of their videos are directed in relatively the same fashion, at least they still get girl-next-door type women who are actually ticklish, and the bondage is as great as it's always been. They haven't relegated themselves to casting porn stars with giant fake breasts who are 1/10 ticklish, or turning every clip into a 'forced orgasm' (again, loose term) video.

It sickens me to see what the content pertaining to this fetish has become. I miss the old days.

Anyway, that's my rant. Whether you agree or disagree, I couldn't care less.
 
Stop buying bad videos then.

If you followed this "unpopular opinion", do you know who the worst, shittiest producer of the last decade would be? Tickle Abuse. Do you know who the actual best selling studio of the last decade (debatably of all time within the context of tickle fetish) has been? Tickle Abuse.

Producers follow trends because tickle shoots are, as the name suggest, productions that take effort and money to make work. When specific things keep making the most money it stands to reason it's worthwhile to keep doing that. I can think of at least 5 studios that follow that checklist you've made, and I don't think I've ever seen them posted about on here in any context. Seems to me like most people complaining aren't even bothering to look for new material they like.
 
Oh great, another one of these "Tickling Videos Suck!" Threads...

Congratulations Randomperson101

You are the 101st person with this complaint.
 
Why not just make your own videos?

Such a groundbreaking, never been heard before opinion
 
Hey OP, why post on a forum, if you couldn't care less what others think about your post?

The fact is, there are a bunch of excellent videos out there. Also, many bad ones, to be sure. But if you search, there is so much variety that you can find what you like.

Here is a challenge for you. Buy this clip and explain how it sucks. Point to the number of minutes/seconds in where there is nudity, a vibrator, or faking. [spoiler - none of these are present in this clip]. Or just watch the 30 second preview.

Yes, this particular company tends to follow a similar sequence of positions for each "lee" that they work with. If you don't like that, then just get a few from them.

There's always been shitty videos and there's always been great videos. Right now is no exception to that and from what I can tell, there is more content than ever being produced at the moment and while that means we are getting more shit videos, it also means we're getting more great ones. I don't understand this ridiculous mentality so many people have nowadays that most of the models in tickling videos are faking it. Why does everybody think it's so hard for producers to find ticklish models? Don't get me wrong, there are some where it is very blatantly a performance and there are models who aren't ticklish or who are having something done to them which is supposed to look like tickling but actually isn't at all and they have to pretend and fake laugh, but not only are those kind of videos pretty uncommon, they've also always been around.

Like Tickling Paradise was notorious for that shit. Videos with stupid storylines where the models are being tickled with like bottle openers or spatulas or God knows what else and then having to pretend that this completely ineffective tool was tickling them. This stuff is not new, personally I think we're seeing a lot less of it now and also, some people actually like that more than genuine tickling. And if that's the case good for them, it's not infringing on the amount of actual tickling content out there so let them have it if they like it.

But again, why would so many videos feature non-ticklish models? And what makes you think that's the case anyway? It's not like ticklish people are rare and they have to settle for not ticklish ones. In fact, I'd argue that people who aren't ticklish are rare. Not being ticklish is a little bit of a biological irregularity unless you've worked super hard to suppress it in yourself. So if the vast majority of people out there are ticklish, with a lot of them being very much so, why would it be so hard to find ticklish fetish models? If you just gathered 100 random models, I think it's fair enough to assume that like 95 of them would be ticklish and probably about 60 would be very ticklish. With so many ticklish people out there, why would all of the producers suddenly just decide to make videos with the few non-ticklish people they can find?

You can argue that if someone was ticklish they wouldn't want to be restrained and tickled but it's the fetish industry, models are willing to do some stuff that they don't particularly like because it's their job. It's so weird when this point comes up because people try to argue that even those models who are laughing and squirming and it's not obviously fake, are actually faking it too and are just acting. And that's absolute bullshit. Do you know how hard it is to genuinely laugh on cue? Even professional actors have trouble with that shit because it's involuntary, and to do it for like 20 minutes at a time is an even bigger task. You can rest assured that if professional actors struggle with it, porn stars don't stand a chance of being convincing. It's called porn acting for a reason.

So anyways, yeah I think this is bullshit. There are a bunch of studios making great videos with really ticklish girls and genuine tickling. French Tickling as you mentioned is a great one, Octopus has good stuff, Russian Fetish, The Tickle Room, Quality Control and for all the shit they get now, Tickle Abuse does still have some good stuff from what I can tell. And there's almost definitely a bunch more.
 
I miss the old days too but that doesn't mean new porn sucks, it's just different.
 
I disagree, at least to me porn videos are an "example" (i dont know how to describe it) of irl erotic play. I mean, i watch porn when i'm horny, not to criticize like it is a marvel movie. Maybe some videos are innatural and fake, but when i jerk off i'm already thinking at different things. I usually use videos as an example when i'm on kinky dates.
 
Yep, clearly you're not looking at the entire market and limiting yourself to the same rivers and lakes that you're used to. I posted about a newer studio in another thread on the forum just a couple weeks back. There's a lot of things that suck because just like any industry, when more $$ enters the scene, the purity of the content gets watered down by what actually sells. But with that said, there's plenty of good content available and newer studios that I'm sure you haven't given a shot. This post makes me wonder if you even really support stores like French Tickling.

(rolls eyes).....HOO BOY!!! Here we go again....another "tickling videos suck" thread. They seem to come out from under some rock every few months. To the OP who posted this rant: You say you could care less about whether people here agree or disagree with your rant. If so, then why even post this rant?? There had to be a reason for posting this. If it wasn't for you to get a rise out of people here, then what?? What has already been said here every time this thread appears is this: If you don't like the quality of tickling videos these days, then don't watch them. Nobody is forcing you to watch these videos. If you long for the days of CalStar, RealTickling, Harmony, FM Concepts, etc. then go out and buy those videos. Better yet, if you can make a better tickling video, go buy the equipment and get some women to appear in your videos. Every genre of porn has it's good videos, bad videos, and mediocre videos. That is left to the person watching the video. There is only a finite number of ways you can tickle someone, just like there's a finite number of ways you can have sex with a woman. Tickling producers tend to look at what sells and create more videos based on what is selling. Same with the movies: if superhero movies are hot, then that is what you will see more of in theaters. Since you're longing for the good old days, many of the things you brought up were also prevelant back in the day as well. You probably didn't care because it's a tickling video, you got to see your fantasy played out on the big screen. There were questions back then of models being ticklish, there were also hokey storyline videos as well. If you can make a better video, then make one and show us what you've got.
 
This topic does get brought up a lot, but it's ridiculous to tell someone they can't have an opinion on something unless they go out and do it themselves. Think of all the things you form opinions on especially in the realm of entertainment.

I just think the gatekeeping is silly.
 
In the old days it would be 99% feet tickling.
For belly tickling there would be a video that would show some every few months. It was quite a desert otherwise though. Perhaps exaggerating a little bit but certainly any amount of belly tickling was sparse from what I recall.

I remember Yaqi and TIB were one of the few producers that would tickle a woman's belly.

TA came along and rasberries became more routinely incorporated and never looked back!

Normally I'd agree with you, especially in the realm of Hollywood blockbusters or the like.

But tickling videos? Most of the time they're literally just some hobbyist with a handycam. They're not that hard to make. And in spite of producers explaining the realities of various aspects of the industry that often simply can't be worked around - usually dealing with pricing or the reality of working with models and sales data - every couple of weeks some new account that never interacts with the community comes bopping along to post their spicy hot take on stuff that's been discussed to death.

I think in a lot of cases if these people tried to do it themselves and saw what exactly was involved in making a video only for the community to rip their effort to shreds (and then pirate the results), they might sing a completely different tune. Then again, maybe not.

And campy porn plots. Can't forget those about retro porn.

I think modern porn needs more feathers and raspberries, not advanced exfoliation techniques with the hair brushes.

Thank you.
 
I agree that there is definitely a lack of good content out there. Doesn't mean they all are. You are entitled to your opinion but there is content for you if you are willing to look for it.

Another possible reason why there is a lack of talent is because back in the "old days" there wasn't as much of a stigma of doing "sex work" so more random people were willing to do it, thus broadening the pool to find ticklish people.
Now, people are more hesitant because of the coverage of GWC, and other creepers, on Twitter and Instagram. Finding willing people is harder than you think, let alone TICKLISH random people.

Another reason is that the "girl next door" video will get pirated, and if their stuff gets tossed on PornHub for everyone to see, they won't want to come back. The models that you see in every studio is willing to put the effort in to make it a job not some gig for easy cash; that is why you see more of them.

Plus paying people isn't cheap. Especially when most studios don't actually make money they lose it cause said stuff just gets pirated.

I digress. But again, why I started my own was there was a lack of content that I liked. So I agree there is a lack of "good" content but that is all in the eye of the beholder.

In theory yes, but without fail every time someone has this opinion, it's presented with this "It's so simple; just stop being shit!" mentality. Like every producer knows what is objectively good and bad, and continues to opt for bad. After a certain point, I just want to see what these people feel is genuinely "good", because apparently a top sellers list isn't a good enough indication of it.
