Things you CAN'T STAND in tickle videos

Honestly I get that people hate seeing these threads but I love them. I think they really show the audience side of things because we can honestly only understand this with.....sales. it's hard. I see a LOT of issues in here that honestly sell well. Take them out of content and it dies off. That's the main reason customs are so important. Hard to pull off everyone's niche. Here's some things that hopefully show a slightly different side:
- brushes are the easy way out at times. It's why producers (like myself) use them. We're on a time schedule. Most people are genuinely not super finger ticklish. So if you're in a clip and a minute in the producer breaks out the brush, chances are that lee is just not that sensitive (yes sometimes some people are just BRUSH heavy. They are just trying to sell the laugh)
- brushes DO hurt. Yes. After a period of time 90% of models will straight up not laugh and look like they are in pain. Reason why? Brush becomes an exfoliating God and you are raking raw soles. But for quick short Burts of time or against Lee's who love and can take it, it's a pretty awesome sell. There are very few Lee's that the brush destroys to the point of pain immediately. Personally I think a brush going slow is agonizingly more ticklish than the speed racer method.
- talking. I hate my voice. It's why made loyalfans for bts and interviews. But for the LEES sake at times for comfort....we talk. It's overwhelming. But in most customs I shut up. I know me and Artemis fetish films laugh about this constantly. Nothing harder than editing a video with your own voice....it sucks. I can't mute it either because I need to make sure the audio is good. So I tend to chew gummy candy for the cringe.
Now one thing I will say that IS shocking but I understand is the sexual/nude side of tickling.
See. I have and will do nude/orgasm shoots with tickling but I will be honest.....they sometimes sell like shit. But sometimes they ROCK the house in sales so we take those risks because It feels so requested. At least twice a week u get an orgasm custom request. I'm curious. I will say I do agree it tends to strike me as odd when people request nude for tickling but it's only feet. My assumption is foot fetish correlation is heavy there.
Random thoughts on my end. I rarely share figured I'd send some love. Love you all. I like these threads. Let people rant. It's fun.
 
I actually *really like it* when the Tickler talks and gets into the ticklee’s head. To each their own!
 
My #1 most hated thing in a tickle video is seeing guys as ticklers. Especially if they’re talking and/or on camera. I’ve had way too many videos ruined for me by some guy whose personality falls as flat as a plate full of piss.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a romantic couple tickle video. A guy and a girl just having fun.

2. Toe ties. I think it looks ridiculous, and I just can’t enjoy it anymore. Especially if it looks painful.

3. Nylons being ripped. I’m a nylon fan, but I can understand people who aren’t. Just stop and take them off, or don’t wear them at all.

4. Oil. It’s just gross looking. I just can’t.

Now if this is your jam, hey that’s cool. We all have our likes and dislikes, it makes things interesting.


This is why Simply Tickling is my favorite studio, they get it right. They’re extremely generous with previews. They’re fan friendly. They have extremely cute models with sweet personalities, and I’ve yet to see a video they don’t look like they’re having fun.

Personally I think a brush going slow is agonizingly more ticklish than the speed racer method.

In the first productions, in the 1980-90s, the brushs were never seen. I think, indeed, the producers ended up to use it because they can't achieve this so wanted and desired outcome of a tickled woman laughing naturally. Since tickling doesn't work, they may have been tempted to rub harder and more brutally. And that was when we started to see the toothbrushs, hairsbrushs, used more and more brutally, or well a wild and violent way to tickle with fingers, using of oil in order to make those instruments sliding more fastly, or using of the feather's shaft, rather than the tip, more rigid and hard.

Meanwhile, emerged some practices, such as licking (worship, etc.) and porno vibrators, which come from distinct categories, contaminating tickling videos.

Why ? Because tickling doesn't work ! So, in order to supplement and compensate an inability to produce tickling, we observe now either a drift towards pure and simple sadomasochism, where the pain is becoming a substitute for an ineffective tickling (I also note that some producers abandoned outwright the tickling universe for a very hard BDSM), or producers shows us something else than tickling : licking, vibrators, porno, etc.

I think it would be however possible to take notice that the tickling is something coming from the imagination and phantasm : indeed, what is that strange fetish if not a phantasm ? For sure there is nothing real in there. It really matters not that tickling doesn't work. The most important is that it's seems to be true. In others words, that's just cinema. There are only two producers who understood that : the old California Star, and FTKL. It is no coincidence that the betters stuffs for a lot of tickling fetishists are scenes they've seen in movies, animes, commercials, cartoons, or drawings featuring their phantasms.

So there is no problem to tickle models with a feather which doesn't work at all, or to tickle with finger an unsensitive model. Everything is a question of stage direction.

It needs to be understood that showing something which doesn't enter in the wanted phantasm, it's off topic. Why forcing someone to see something he doesn't want to see ? My phantasm is not to see a man licking women's feet. My phantasm is just to see women tickled. Just that. Not brutally hurted. Just tickled. Is it difficult to understand ? It's simple.
 
Looking at the camera! Jeez!!

Seconded!

If the ler is a guy, I want to see as little of him as possible and NEVER want him to look at the camera. Kills the mood instantly

One exception: if the ler is a girl, and she's deliberately breaking the 4th wall to make it hot for us as the viewer. But I mainly prefer when the ler and lee are purely into tickling and they just interact with each other in that, with no acting for the camera
 
If there is a guy in the video AT ALL. Even a guy’s voice off-camera. It’s a showstopper for me.
 
For me, it’s seeing a pretty pair of feet in stocks, but with the victim NOT having her hands tied or otherwise secured. That’s a turn off.
 
- stupid fake premise ("I know you fucked my boyfriend" for example)

What I love:

- chemistry between lee and ler
- f/f
- no premise beyond just tickles. at the most, simple premises like a challenge or a tickle game.

I agree with your post bobhurl. I'm sure alot of what tickling producers are using or doing stems from a "monkey see-monkey do" attitude. Producers who do feather tickling videos see another producer using a toothbrush for their tickling videos. They say "that's the ticket" and start using toothbrushes. Next, someone is tying the big toes back to the point they're turning purple. Other producers see this and go "that's the ticket", and start tying big toes together. On and on it goes, where eventually it ends up with a gallon of baby oil on some woman's feet and a hairbrush exfoliating her soles instead of tickling them. I cringe when I can hear the brush going across the woman's soles. Like nails on a chalkboard. I have come to loathe these posts regarding what kind of tickling is despised this week. Tickle Room likes it, as it's a means of gauging what tickle fans are talking about. Fair enough, but like that relative who tells the same joke or story all the time, it becomes irritating after awhile.
 
It's probably just a minor thing but when the video has the title "Upper Body Tickling" or anything that's just "targeting" the upper body only, but once that said video is played, feet are tickled too. I don't mind both upper body and feet are tickled, but it's a bit irritating when I get click-baited. Like, if you're also gonna tickle the feet, don't title it "upper body" I don't know if it's just me or not.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk :p
 
I really like the input that people are giving in this post and would also like to comment on some aspects.
As I am a producer of tickling videos, but also a tickle-fetishist myself, I can really relate to what is being posted here. So many people seem to dislike elements in tickling videos that have been very frequently used in the last years, very often stating that the tickling has turned to more "brutal" practices.
I am using different tools, lickling and just good old fashioned finger-tickling in my clips. Why? Because I have experienced all of these first hand on my own body and especially soles. When the 'ler is oiling up my feet and starts running a soft brush along my soles I could just die from laughing if this tactic is prolonged. Every 'lee is different. There are 'lees who only respond to certain ways of tickling and so - if it is not a clip that has been "staged" - it is all a matter of "trying to find out what works" with the model you have in front of you. There are models who start squirming and laughing even before you touch their feet, just from the anticipation, but these models are really rare, at least this is what I experienced. So sometimes you simply have to resort to other devices and tactics to get a result that you could call "satisfying". I personally like a model who laughs and giggles, not necessarily screams, but who shows a reaction. Unfortunately you do not always get this reaction and if it is a shooting and not a tickle date I also have this thought in the back of my head "I have to get the reaction I want" to get a clip I can actually sell.
Yet I understand that it is all about personal likes and dislikes and I will definitely try to use more finger tickling in my next clips, as this is something that a lot of you have stated is missing of late.
 
Let me put in my 2 Cents, mostly applies to Foot Fetish Videos..

No Audio. Now usually the producer will explain this away by saying something like they talked about some private stuff or whatnot, but It kinda irritates me. Then they have to put some corny music in place...

There is an obvious mimicry among many producers, adopting herd behaviour, at the point where some standards had emerged, that impose themselves practically like canons. I wonder even if those codes shapes the passive spirit of certain whatchers of those videos, accepting uncritically it as an established model. They perhaps ends up missing why they basically and initially whatch it.

When I see the Ler vigorously grabing the handle of a hairbrush, I allways stop the video. That is not my concern, and I don't want to see it.

The real tickling is light and delicate. Not heavy and hard.
 
Something else I don't very like : the excessive worship of the feet, and all the things that come with it :
- smelling of the socks
- smelling of the inside of the shoe
- wince expressing disgust after smelling
- Ler forcing the Lee smelling her socks or shoe's inside
- shoes or socks arranged in a particular way, symmetrically and meticulously disposed, displayed in full view, with preciousness.

I understand that the feet fetish let to a particular interest to the socks, the shoe's inside, their smell, etc., and that it's important to see those objects on the video, but there is too a need to do it discreetly. In any event, into my phantasm, I need the things happens simply, without seeming to be intentionnally prompted.

Actually some people react better to slightly harder tickling than feathery touches.
 
- Brushes : I don't think it really tickles, but it probably hurts the model. It's not interesting at all, for me.
- Oil : I hate seeing feet all covered with that.
- Tickling just 15 secondes with fingers, and soon, going on oiling and brushing. It's very frustrating. I would like the fingers tickling to prolonge, but it never happens.

I don't understand why all the producers follow this same protocole (15 secondes of finger tickling, and all the rest is dedicated to brush and oil). That is why I don't watch a lot at those videos since some years.

Others things I don't like :
- toothbrushes
- porno vibrators
- Ler speaking or laughing (I just want him to shut up)
- Male ler licking the feet (I hate absolutely seeing it)
- Ler hiding the scene (very badly filmed videos)
- Model completely nude (I like to see model in casual clothes)
- The armpits rubbed, and not tickled (and it often happens, I don't know why)
- Female ler blowing on the navel (unbearable)
- Fingers of the ler breaking brutally between the toes (I don't see the interest doing that)
- Feather breaking methodically between each toe
- Attached toes


In fact, I would like to see simple thing : a woman of normal life, in casual clothes, in distress, tied, the feet tickled, the camera showing the feet squirming under the tickling (fingers or feathers) (for the feathers : the tip of the feather coming and going on the soles), if there are two lers, each on each side, it's better, the camera showing the soles in face, and that's all.

No oil, no brush, no vibrator, no nudity, no rubbing, no toe attached. Just the feet tickled in the greater simplicity.
I've never seen that. Or, sometimes by chance, during 15 secondes, because the producer do it unintentionally...
99% of the videos are unwatchable for me... :(

What is unbearable about watching a female (not sure why you stated that gender specifically) ler blowing on a navel? Is it blowing wind on the navel or its more like a raspberry directly in the skin? I really don't understand why that's unbearable to watch.
 
I can't stand when I can see that the lee can easily slip her hand out of the wrist restraints, and they actually are just holding the restraints with their hands. It tells me that it's all staged. I like genuine reactions and real tickling, not the lees pretending to panic. I can understand keeping the ties loose for safety reasons, but if you do this, please keep it out the camera view, so as not to ruin the fantasy for us all.
