In the late '80's, I was a regular part of the L.A. BDSM scene. I was amazed at how many tickling fetishists (or at least tickle-curious) there were, but how little coverage was given it in what passed for coverage those days. There were a few of us into tickling that got together once in awhile, but it was far from an organized community.

Ahhh..."The Sex Life of the Foot and Shoe."...I'm trying to remember if it came out in '76 or '77..It was a diamond in the rough. One of my prized possesions..When I saw it in a book store I about fainted. And yes I also know the above passage word for word also. This sent me on a quest to find out more about these Russian "..foot ticklers"......And does anybody know what happenend to Leil Lowndes ? Surely she belongs in the Tickling Hall of Fame...Perhaps shes here on the TMF somewhere...

Leil Lowndes
To answer Babinsky's question. several years ago i looked her up and found her still in Manhatten. She very much does belong in the tickling hall of fame--if for no other reason than she authored some VERYY good artickles for Variations magazine about our favorite topic. But in addition she belongs there because she was a) a VERY beautiful woman and b) a GREAT student of drama who actually acted out on stage at a place called "the project" some EXCELLENT tickling related skits such as inquisition (with her on the rack getting her feet tickled by a hooded monk with feather) and a cat fight over a male suitor that involved intensive tickling. "The Project" was all about making fantasy fetishes come true and she once told me that there were a number of prominent celebreties who were into tickling. Though i only talked with her on the phone several times and never saw her in person i understand the skits were outstanding and she was REALLY ticklish on her feet, often balling out her fellow actors once the curtain closed because the foot tickling got wayyyyyy too intense! Anyone here ever visit the project? Apparently before the internet it was THE treasure throve of tickling materials, with many custom made photos of foot tickling in dungeon/inquisition settings. And lets not ever forget the contributions of early pioneers Don Keefer, Frank Boyer of Lancaster Pa, tank, and the BOF (Brotherhood of feathers)!

Teh first tickling related mag I had was a shoplifted (I'm so sorry) copy of Variations with a lady covered in red feathers on the front. I had to be a junior or senior in high school...so lets say 1986-1987? Then in college I saw my first "tied and tickled" magazine and had virtually every tickling magazine or bondage magazine that might have tickling in it for a four year period. Then I purged EVERYTHING when I graduated and was going to be living at home again.😱 I had, at one time, a two hour tape filled with tickling scenes from all the bondage videos I had rented over a two year period. Also an audio cassette with a bunch of scene taped off of telelvision.
How about Platinum and their "College" tickling series? The first video I ever saw was "Tied and Tickled" and it was god awful and I loved every second of it!! LOL!
I had an issue of something like "tickling times" or "feather mates" or some such thing that I ordered from an ad in the bag of a magazine. I think it was the Tobias guy everyone is talking about.
And my tickling desire was VERY sated without the internet thanks to being in college and all the ticklish girls I could handle! LOL! In fact, I would say in some ways it was better. Back then you really appreciate every little scrap you could find. Whether it was a story in TV Guide (Allissa Milano) or a couple letters in Dear Abby.

I've kinda been putting off chiming in on this thread until I had such time to go thru my Horde: The vast collection of mostly tickling and/or footfetish accumulated over the last 35 years or so. You see, I am by nature a packrat. Never throw anything away. Might be useful/valuable someday. Occasionally it is. My wife loathes this aspect of me.
I still have about 90% of all the tk/f-f material I collected over time (I count the loss/destruction of the audiocassettes of my various girlfriends being tickled roughly 10%). Magazines, newspapers, books, tv shows/movies/reports, pictures, videotapes, artwork, stories, just anything that remotely resembled tickling.
I stole the October 1974 National Geographic from my HS library because it had a m/f foot tickling pic. I found an issue of Seventeen while nosing thru my sister's room that included a possible/probable tk m/f foot pic of a very young Stephanie Zimblist. During one of her unlawful forays into my room, my sister stole it back. I relieved an old friend of some pics out of an early 90's Playboy of 4 Hispanic sisters going at each other's feet. The various Dear Abby/Ann Landers articles. A mid-80's Cavalier magazine with a great artical, and even a pic of a pair of polished feet attacked with a red feather. Many Penthouse/Leg Show articles, including a couple with my fav 80's porn queen, Hyapatia Lee, who claimed she loved having her feet tickled and described some encounters. I originally scanned Saudelli's "Mastermind" episode out of Leg Show where the Russian gal gets worked over.
Like Max, I collected over 2 hours of scenes from movies and tv starting in '84. I was "Out of the Loop" so to speak, never hearing of Max or his compadres at the time. I got the CNN report TWICE, both times out of dumb luck. Once in the middle of my recording of Fleetwood Mac's MTV concert. The April O'neal scene was another dumb lucker, recorded right smack in the middle of a match between Bret Hart and Yokozuna. I too traded with Tobias Hackner, and outright bought from him. This is when I was exposed to the likes of BAC and Mandell, as well as the early works of a name I thought I'd never see again until this thread, Frank Boyer. I purchased material from HOM, WOM, Dianne Peerless, Bean Blossom, Maybird and a host of others that I would name if I had the opportunity to rummage thru my horde, as stated earlier. I still have Maybird 1, tied &Tickled 1, 5, 10 and 20, and other Cal-Star atrocities, most of which really reek, a shitpot ofFM Concepts, the original ANA vid. Knotty, Ties That Bind (My first actual magazine purchase, with Simone Devon as 'lee), and later a gob of Tied and Tickled rags.
People magazine has had at least 6 tk pics (I haven't bought People for about 10 years, so my collection stops then), including one of Marilyn Monroe I posted here some years back, Gloria Esefan, and of Maria Conchita Alonso. 31 love-finder ads from the Sun/Examiner/Enqisitor/Whatever rags looking for ticklish women, and one guy who says: "He's hanging from a bridge by his toes. Do you: A)Help him B)Find a feather. If B, write me." Nicole Kidman's confession from In Style magazine (The same mag with the delicious pic of Bai Ling showering outdoors). A news article about a parrot who caused a divorce by mimicing the sounds made when the husband tickled his mistress. The one of a woman in Australia who divorced her husband because she couldn't stand sharing his last name, Rottenbottem. She then married Raymond Ticklemore. The Iowa woman who legally changed her name to Tara Tickle. (LEAVE HER ALONE, GUYS!) God I don't wanna try to remember all the news articles...I should try to post them sometime.
At any rate, when the 'net finally came to my local library in '99, I spent some time searching, of course, tickling. The VERY first site I viewed had some of my stuff traded to Hackner back in the day. Glad to have contributed, even when I didn't know it. I spend SOOOOO much less money on magazines and movies, and even vids, 'cuz I can now get a sample, a try before I buy. I enjoy ALL of the material I purchase now, as opposed to about 25% before.
Was it worth waiting 37 years for the internet? You damn skippy.

....I stand in "awe" of your collection..Do you still have it and what does your wife think of it..?
Marilyn Monroe tickle picture ? Never seen that one..Could you possibly dig that one up for us ?
And you've triggered one I completely forgot about.
The Dear Abby and Ann Landers columes. I just happenend to stumble onto
a tickle letter in Ann Landers one day..It blew me away so much that I clipped it and saved it for awhile. Of course now its long gone..I read it so many times that I had it memorized. A women wrote that her boyfriend was obsessed with tickling her and wanted to know if it was normal...."..last night he actually held me in a chair while his best friend took off my shoes and hose and tickled the bottom of my feet with a feather for what seemed like an eternity.." Good ole Ann replied,"Your dream boat has a sadistic streak an inch thick and a mile wide. Dump him.."

I don't know if it was in reaction to this column, but she ran another column of nothing but tickling stories/complaints from readers...about four of them, all to "prove" that this was some sadistic practice. I recall one wrote of her Irish grandmother telling a tale of a man in her village who was widowed twice with wives who died young and in mysterious circumstances. Finally someone came by their house late at night, and found he tied up his screaming, hysterical third wife to the bed and was tickling her feet with a feather.

I Remember An Ar-tickle
I remember a LONG LOONG time ago 19 the 1970s. Maybe '75, not sure.
I was raised in Da Brionx Noo Yawk & was reading the New York Daily News.
There was a small little filler ar-tickle that I had to sneakily save so my family wouldn't know.
It was about a place in Manhattan called 'The Tickled Pink'.
This place as described by the person who submitted the ar-tickle stated that it literally was a Tickle Parlor.
There was a menu of services like 'The Rib-Tickler', etc.
There were private rooms where these 'sessions' would take place.
Gales of hysterical laughter could be heard as you passed by the rooms that were already occupied.
I was only in my mid-teens at the time so I couldn't go there.
I also remember a drawing of a woman with a feather boa around her neck that went along with the ar-tickle.
That little ar-tickle has since been lost.
Does anyone from the NYC area remember this?
Like I said, this was in the 1970s. MAYBE 1975. Not sure.

THE "TICKLE PARLOR" OF THE WASHINGTON DC AREA!
back in the mid 1980's there was a place that advertizied in local Washinton DC weekly papers called "the tickle parlor!" Their ad went something like this: "do you like to laugh or would you like to make me laugh? New "tickle parlor" opened for fun nd excitement!" I callled several times but they were kind of pricey. I do remember a lady named Barb (billed as a stautesque brunette) who ran it and said she was horribly ticklish but love to tie and tickle as well openly on the phone told me several guys would come in to tickle her and record it to take with them and that she had no problem with that. She also told me of an incredibly ticklish lady who worked there named Carmen who had a guy come in and tie her down for an hour to tickle her feet with ferathers and how you could literally hear that all alllllllllll the way from the far back room. SO there was a "tickle parlor" at least in the DC area. thanks!

One thing I neglected to mention before, about the cover of 1942's Daredevil #11: I have the premier issue of "Fangoria" magazine, from 1980. There was an article about Horror in Comics. The author described several comics from the pre-code era, but he stated one of his favorite covers was that of Daredevil #11, and went on to describe it. Now, I called several large comic shops across the country (Being a heavy-duty comic collector since the 7th grade), and found only ONE COPY, in a shop in NYC. Wanted $800 bucks for it, and that was in 1987. I couldn't even talk the guy into faxing me a copy of the cover. So I waited nearly 20 F*CKIN' YEARS before someone posted this cover on the net. I was one happy fossil. For years I bought Overstreet's Comic Collector's Guide, hoping to catch a glimpse of it, and of course keeping track of the price. I always loved reading about it, "Classic Bondage/Torture Cover."
Oh, and Jake, the Frank Boyer I had reference to was a cartoonist, prolific but mediocre at best, who traded with T. Hackner on what must've been a weekly basis for years. Some of his stuff was quite cute, and most was original for the time. Could we be talking about the same man? Hmmm...

tkryxxxx--we are talking about the same F. Boyer, early tickling cartoonist
that was him--cute scenes of pilgrim women in stocks and women being tickled in dungeons. Not very good art but GREAT concepts!

Her name was Ann something. She was a Professional Laugher. She hired her infectious guffaw out to sitcom, variety show (ie, Carol Burnette, Smothers Brothers, Sonny & Cher, et al) and game show producers to sit in the audience and laugh at some of the stupidest things in the history of television. Her cackles were so outrageous and carried so well that half the time the audience was laughing at her, if not with her, rather than the entertainment at hand. She was able to in effect create her own laugh track at a live taped event. I read a few years ago on the net a tk community member actually contacted her by phone. She was retired at the time, but confirmed her feet had always been ticklish and loved the idea that her pic in People was revered by thousands of ticklefolk on the web. You like a good irony? All this I shared with you by memory. That is one article that somehow over the years has slipped away from me. My 25th HS reunion was this past summer, and I had that rag during HS, so I had it I'd say for 12-13 years. Haven't seen it since. Just vanshed. Dang it.
EDIT: Ok, Ann SHALLA. Duh.

actually Ann Shalla's best work might have been on the old candid camera!
i never saw any of them but apparently according to either the people's mag artickle or tklxpert's excellent interview with her for tickle town, Alan Funt's 60's era candid camera had a least two tickling-related skits where Ann really let loose--one that dealt with her buying a new pair of high heels in a crowded shoe store as she goes nuts with gayles of laughter and the other--which is the fantasy of many on here--the "ticklish pedicure!" In both they had folks watching her as she slinked back in a chair and went nuts, The interview with her was wonderful--she apprently was extremely ticklish but loved the playful aspects of getting her feet tickled to do her bit of wild hysterical laughter.

My first real find was a (you will not believe this) a double page spread in the UK Sun Newspaper dated 31/07/75, entitled IT TAKES TWO TO TICKLE.
The picture featured a topless model being tickled under the chin by some guy, whilst in another picture he was standing while she tickled his upraised foot. Anyway the premise of the article was that tickling was a slimming activity / calorie burner. It advised readers to 'try and keep it going for ten minutes if possible'. Other snippets I remember were: 'remember to use a light touch for the most hysterical results' and also 'when being tickled really let yourself go, remember its the hysterical shreiking with laughter that burns off all the calories'.
Anyway I was only 14/15 when I nicked this from my aunt and uncle's pile of used newspapers. However I was so turned on/overwhelmed/embarrased that I ended up flushing the whole thing down the toilet before my mum discovered it. Anyway I remembered the article for ever, until it got to the point when I began to wonder had I actually imagined it. However some time in the early 90's I went to the British Newspaper Library, and searched through about four years of the Sun newspaper, until I eventually came across it. They then did a photocopy for me (hurrah). Then of course during one of my periodic purges, I got rid of it.
So if any UK readers want to go the British Newspaper Library to get another copy, the actual date is 31/07/75 (you won't be disappointed).

Back in the late '70's, I was looking at ads in some adult magazine and saw something I couldn't believe - an ad for an 8mm film about tickling! In spite of the fact that I didn't have an 8mm projector, I ordered the film and wanted impatiently for it to be delivered. I had found a place that rented 8mm projectors so when the film finally arrived, I was ready. I set up the projector, threaded the film, turned off the lights, started the projector and there on my wall (I couldn't afford to also rent a screen) was a guy tickling 2 women tied to a bed... the only problem was, there was no sound! As the women would laugh, things like "TEE HEE!" would appear on the screen. Talk about a major disappointment! Still, it was a memorable event as here I'm telling about it, some 25 years later.

Actually, I thought I was the only person in the world with this interest until I saw a letter in Penthouse in the spring of 1976. To write that I was shocked would be putting it mildly. I honestly felt like I had been struck by lightning when I discovered I wasn't the only one.
I can recall a wire story in the newspaper around 1970 where a doctor was arrested for using tickling to treat people with autism. I wish I had kept the clipping, but I was young and was afraid a family member might find it and I would be "outed."
I didn't see much in the way of tickling media until the 1980's with the "Tied and Tickled" magazines.
LOL How DID we "seniors" make it before the internet???
I can recall a wire story in the newspaper around 1970 where a doctor was arrested for using tickling to treat people with autism. I wish I had kept the clipping, but I was young and was afraid a family member might find it and I would be "outed."
