Big toes tied together and pulled back

[Tickle Torture1]

Ive seen lots of tickling clips and just wondered, why in some of them the have the girls feet in stocks, then they tie her big toes together and pull them back. By the way is there any tickling sites i can visit that have preview clips and free vids? post all the ones you know of!

Yup, it's all in the name of maximum immobility. It's not my favourite--personally, I like the poetry of futilely wiggling feet, and purple toes skeeve me out.

Right. Because it feels amazing, your ler doesn't tire out so fast and if the toes turn PURPLE, you're tying too tight or using the wrong materials!

I think they tie the toes back to keep the feet from moving around and also to keep the soles from scrunching up so as to make the tickling as effective as possible.

i agree with steph if the toes are purple probably to tight. PLus when their being held back it makes the soles smoother

You got it baby!

If I may offer another argument against (with all due respect, of course, to Steph)...
Tying the big toes takes out a glorious piece of real estate--it covers their bases. In my experience, under and between the toes are the most sensitive areas of the foot, and the big toes are, of course, the largest of these. I wouldn't hesitate, however, to defer to a more well-traveled opinion.

That varies from person to person. Sure, some people are more tickling around their toes than on their soles, and I can see how toe tying would then get in the way. But those who are more ticklish on their soles... having their toes tied simply makes the more ticklish area easier to get to and more vulnerable.

Good point, of course. Everybody is different, and one must adjust methods accordingly. I would argue, then, that if one left the toes untied, one still has the option of bending the toes back to stretch out the soles. If you tie the toes and want to tickle under, you're out of luck.
On the other hand, bending the toes back manually occupies five whole fingers otherwise put to more active use. Maximum overdrive is best achieved when all ten fingers are going at it.
This is all academic, by the way. The soles/arches are a close personal second, at any rate; it's not as if no meeting of minds is possible. 😛 We ticklers have a way of getting five feet up the bull's ass of our own ideal... setups... scenarios... whatever (I've heard interesting stories regarding the truth about hogties). We shouldn't let that get in the way of the reality on the ground.

In sum, I defer. Mostly. 😛
