Let's get down to the nitty gritty, if we may: Women are much better ticklers than men. As a male tickler, I'm envious as hell, but I gotta give props. Compare F-F and M-F video clips, and you'll notice a few things IN GENERAL (so please, no replies from anyone who's offended. I'm not hating, I'm relating MY own observations.):
1. Male ticklers' general posture and body language is that of someone who's attacking desperately, like a Frenchman at Waterloo. He'll start scratching soles like a madman, and if that doesn't work, he'll travel up the legs, or if he doesn't get reactions from underarms, he'll start squeezing ribs. It's often an irritating, disjointed mess to behold. Female ticklers are calm, cool and collected. Their posture is that of someone who's gonna have some fun tickle-tormenting someone pink. Instead of panicking, she'll slow down strokes or switch to nibbling. No wild attacking crap.
2. The finger action: Male ticklers often poke, and jab, or they do this stupid thing where they stick a couple fingers on a patch of skin, say, underarms, and instead of stroking, they'll push into the flesh and wiggle in that one spot, as though deploying some sort of jujitsu or acupuncture move. Dumb. Female ticklers let their fingers ravish ticklish flesh, stroking fast and slow, heavy and light. No poking, no jabbing, just fiendishly ticklish strokes and caresses.
3. Along the lines of what someone said earlier, male ticklers in videos often are nice at the exact wrong times. They ease up on the tickling just as the woman is looking like she's in a frenzied ecstasy, obvious not in any breathing trouble and hungry for more. Female ticklers may appear sadistic, but they seem to have a natural ability to read a ticklee's face and giggles and tell if they're enjoying it or need a breather. Timing is everything, and that goes for tickling too.
As I said before, not all male ticklers suck. I've always done it the female way, and I'm not ashamed to say that. I'm a manly-man loudmouth Italian from Chicago who tickles like a girl -- and proud of it.
