pay sites

with the crop of so many tickling pay sites popping up here and thier online more and more. And have some many pay sites? because im being honest here for the people like me and others im sure that dont have a creit card but wanna join a certain pay site thier plumb out of luck because most pay sites that involve tickling that i have visited are all pay sites where pull out the old mastercard and pay that way😡 it sorta sucks because i know the world and the market place our hurting right now even online! but there should be a 50/50 split of tickling sites some pay sites and others just free register sites like the famous TMF😀 because two sites that i recently found that i wouldn't mind joining are http://www.tickleworld.com and http://www.frenchtickling.com but thier lies the problem both of theses happen to be pay sites. Now i dont wanna sound like a whiner here but this is just something i do not get😕 hope some of you members guys/gals can shed some light on this and help me out and well as discuss it with our fellow tickle fans

Heya Jello..

Yeah, the concept of "pay sites" can be a little tough to swallow, for all of us. I wish every tickling site in the world was free. But that's a pipedream. The problem with that is that all the pictures, vid clips, etc. cost money to make. Models have to be paid, etc. And let's face it. That's what the majority of people who go site prowling want to see - pics and clips. With the thousands of people who hit those sites, some several times a day, bandwidth become a raging issue. Opening a single page with 25 thumbnails of pictures can take 50 or more server requests,with accompanying data transfer, just to load that single page for a single person.

Some run their sites strictly trying to make a buck off people with a fetish, and others, while into tickling, charge because they simply can't afford to cover the costs of production and bandwidth by themselves.

Sadly enough, I think the days of free sites, while still alive and well at the moment, are numbered. Hobbyists can build pretty incredible sites but simply cannot compete with the quality and quantity on the pay sites. Sure, text based and informational sites can last quite a while, and some great treasure troves of pics and clips can still be found. Other "sites" such as Yahoo Groups and MSN groups have much to offer for free as well. Go to either one of those areas and do a few searches on "tickling", "feet", etc. and you are pretty much going to find something you like.

Also, most of the pay sites will allow you to, or at least they used to, join up via snail mail with a money order. Drop an email to the contact of the site (almost always linked on the main page) and inquire as to how you can join without a credit card.

I wanna join pay sites as well, and I ahve a debit card, it's just a matter of me putting money in my account and then remembering to ask the contact person if they automatially charge the renewal membership fees to the card.

For every pay site, I would estimate there are about 10 that are free. There are more free sites than pay sites, and all you need to do is go to google.com and put in "tickling" and you'd be suprised at what you would find.

Also my site is 100% free.

I agree with you. There are a few pay sites I wouldn't mine joining, but of course you need a credit card. What I think people should do is, allow free register were maybe you get access to half of the photos, vid clips, stories, ect. Then have to pay to gain access to the rest of the site.

I host my Bridge and Tunnel Software domain off of myhosting.com - they offer unlimited traffic (and if it's not, I've yet to see an issue) and other stuff for between 15 and 20 bucks a month. So my humble opinion is, if you need to start charging to handle your bandwidth costs, you're probably on the wrong host. 20 bucks a month won't break anybody who can afford the Internet in the first place.

To be honest I don't understand what the problem people have with paying what amounts to a paltry sum (or the equiivalent of one evening down the pub) for a months subscription. One thing that does amaze me with the TMF, is that so many people plead poverty, yet can all afford a computer and internet access !!!!!!!!

Anyway my only criteria is that it is a genuine site run by Tickling enthusiasts (not pornographers), and that the people involved are not going to make unauthorised debits on my Credit Card.

I have used and recommend: Magic Touch internet site, French Tickling, TC 5 minute clips (as well as their former membership site), FM Concepts 5 minute clips (subject to my recent remarks about picture quality), and the former Ticklespot internet clip site. For a small outlay I have got a mass of top notch material.

Compare this to the dark days about a decade ago, when I twice bought videos in brown bags from a seedy back street shop in Soho (having been told they were genuine Tickling videos), paying over £80 (over$100) to end up with one with only bondage, and the other one with Spanish Football.
