I've gone back and forth on this for the past nine months or so. I have serious concerns about what it might do to my personal life if anyone found out about me producing tickle content. I waffled between worrying about that and the potential regret of "Not having lived the life YOU wanted to live". I've written some erotica but I don't have the ability or the interest in churning it out as fast as you need to build an audience. Video content is where it's at.
I went as far as creating profiles on social media and a folder with release forms including an extensive cognitoform that I could send to prospective models. I messaged a few models but got either no response or time-wasters and attempts at catfishing. It seems like unless you're already someone people know, there really isn't any reason for these models to trust you. I also asked for advice from a couple established studios, but only Tickling Is Fun responded (He was very helpful and knowledgeable, which I appreciated greatly.)
I know exactly what I'd want the channel to produce: It would be vertical content, POV-style, shot on an iPhone, most of it handheld with some of the timed stuff stationary. Only my hands would ever appear onscreen, and I'd wear various costumes depending on the model and video. I'd do a typical hour shoot that would be broken into different-length clips and posted on an Instagram (the tamer ones), a Twitter, a Reddit, a Redgifs, and either Clips4Sale or Onlyfans/Fansly (or both?). There would be an interview clip, a clothed unrestrained tickling clip focused on playfulness (I've never seen this kind of tickling content ever), an "unboxing" clip where the model strips naked, a naked unrestrained tickling clip focused on playfulness, then a "surrender" clip where the model is put into an under-the-bed X restraint, then different timed clips eg full body tickling, belly, sides, feet, etc. The model counts to 5 while being tickled, counts to 10, counts to 20, counts to 30, etc.
That'd be the core of the content, but if the model is up for it I'd be open to other forms of tickling like a Wartenberg wheel, orgasm play followed by feather on clit, etc. It all came from wanting to produce the kind of content I'd like to see more of, which is less focus on feet, more focus on the playfulness of tickling, more focus on first-timers, all while still giving the audience the classic, proven brand of tickling content that does well on its own (bondage, nudity, focus on reactions and different body parts). I'd also considered having a "clown tickling" off-branch to the content, as well, but that isn't something I'd ask for until I'd become established.
I still want to explore this fetish of mine more extensively. Life is short. But I ultimately decided against it, at least for now, and I deleted everything at the beginning of the year. The fear of being doxxed and having my square life ruined, of something going wrong and getting myself pariah'd by the tickling or fetish community, the worry that my release form was asking for too much, and the realization that I have no in-roads anywhere with any models or producers and was largely wasting my time all came together and convinced me empty the trash. The cons outweighed the pros by a lot.
I'll probably always want to do something like this, but if it's "meant to be", the universe needs to make it more obvious.
